Kami A.

This was our first time here. We go out to eat about two times a week and let me just say this is definitely on our top five lists of restaurants. We had a server named Brandy. She went above and beyond explaining everything about the place and the food. First off can we just talk about the biscuits. OMG. I ordered baby back ribs but because we went late afternoon they were gone. I guess they only cook so many. I had the spare ribs with the potato and beans. Delicious. My friend had pulled chicken. Then Brandy brought us a surprise dessert for our first time. Lemon pie was so good. All in all a great experience. She checked on us regularly. Thanks for a wonderful experience. We will be back

Deviled Eggs
Jim P.

The inside of the restaurant is welcoming and clean. The table was a little sticky which I didn't love but it wasn't a huge deal to me. My waitress was absolutely amazing. She was super friendly, answered all of my questions well and was quick with service and refills. Now for the food: the cheese biscuits with honey butter are so good. The deviled eggs were good but not great. Considering the cost of eggs at this time, I wouldn't bother with them next time. The jalapeno cheddar sausage with mustard sauce is absolutely delicious! The pulled pork is very good. I enjoyed the baked beans but thought the corn on the cob was well below average. All in all, for right around $30, it was a good meal and I would go back again for sure.

In my lifetime, I have eaten a lot of ribs, and Sugar's Ribs has the best spare ribs I've ever had…read more They are truly fall-off-the-bone tender. If you pull at the meat, there's a solid chance all of it will come right off the bone. I ordered spare ribs and corn, and both came out very quickly. The ribs were obviously the highlight, but the corn was really good too. Since you order at a counter near the entrance, it's a little hard to fully rate the service, but the process was simple and efficient. They also gave us cabbage to feed the goats outside, which was unique and fun. The seating area is near windows with a great view of the mountains, which makes the experience even better. I downloaded Yelp just to write this review, so that should say enough. Definitely recommend Sugar's Ribs, especially for the spare ribs.

While the service was out of this world, the BBQ left much to be desired…read more I ordered brisket and ribs. The brisket I received was very fatty and the ribs were oddly greasy. Neither were sauced and while the sauces on the table were plentiful, they were watered down. Too liquid to really stick to the meat and provide any flavor. Sad because the options looked interesting yet fell flat on taste. I absolutely loved the location. Up on hill, overlooking the skyline of Chattanooga was a beautiful site. It offered a relaxing diner feel with a good amount of space to enjoy my meal without other patrons being on top of me.

This is exactly why I love Yelp! We found this spot on a road trip and wanted something local. Holy…read moreBBQ spot... this was a gem. We got several platters (chicken and pork) and various sides. Everything was so good and tasted like your family made it for you. Some standout items: the coleslaw is super finely chopped which gives it a really good texture, flavor is great. The potato salad was creamy and perfectly seasoned. The pork was so Smokey and tender. Their sauce is super great, would pour that on everything. The fried okra was so tasty, we ate every piece. They have so much cheese in the poppers, delicious. If you're passing through the East Ridge area of Chattanooga, I highly suggest checking out this awesome spot for great food at an even better price. Thanks for the great experience!

This is our first visit to Hickory, the owners are amazingly friendly. Our waitress was kind of…read moreneutral and acted like she didn't really want to be there. The food was good, but the major drawback is that a large plate only had four ribs, one of which you could barely call a rib. The second, drawback for me is that the ribs came with sauce already on them. That's like a major no-no in my book. I know, everybody has their preference, but I prefer to sauce my own food if I feel that it's necessary. To be honest, barbecue should stand on its own without sauce and sauce should only be there to enhance the flavor. The meat was tender, but I couldn't really get a feel for the flavor of the meat because the sauce interfered with that. The pulled pork plate was good. Also, my girlfriend said she enjoyed that. But again, sauce should come on the side in my opinion. I have no real complaint against this place, but I wish I had known ahead of time that the ribs came with sauce on them and I wish that I had known that there were only four ribs on the plate, I would've ordered a whole rack. Prices are good, the place is clean, and as I said, the owners are very welcoming and warm people. Give this place a go, it's worth a trip! But just ask questions before you order!

We pulled up right at 5:00 when they opened and were surprised to see a line already waiting outside the door. That's usually a pretty good sign. We waited about 30 minutes before ordering, but nobody seemed too surprised -- clearly this place has a following. It had that small-town, no-frills BBQ-joint feel, and between the line out front, the smoking grill, and the first bite of ribs, it felt like we had found one of those places people know about for a reason. We had the three-meat sampler with ribs, brisket, and sausage. It was plenty of food and a great way to try the menu. The ribs and sausage had a nice kick to them and did not disappoint. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the brisket was lean, cooked just right, and full of flavor. Robert runs a great operation. He took our order, served up the meats, and he and his crew kept everything moving in a friendly and welcoming way. There were Georgia, Texas, and Carolina sauces on the table, and honestly, all three were good. Nothing fancy or overdone here -- just solid barbecue that tastes like folks know what they're doing. It's not just good local BBQ. It's worth going out of your way for. Glad we made the drive. Wardlaw's is the real deal.

Now THIS is how fried chicken is supposed to be…read more I stopped by Champy's while visiting Chattanooga, and it was the highlight of my afternoon. The fried chicken came out hot, crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. You could literally see the juices coming out of the chicken, and every bite was delicious. The customer service was excellent as well. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the meal. I also enjoyed the atmosphere. The walls were covered in dollar bills and license plates, which gave the restaurant a lot of character and made it feel like a place with stories to tell. I found myself wondering about the history behind it all.

Heard a lot about Champys so we had to check it out. Love the ambiance, a renovated garage…read moreconverted into a Southern-style bar/casual eatery. A little kitchy sure but it fits. We got to choose our table and had friendly service the whole time. Note that although the service is pretty good, the food coming out was a little slow. We got the 3 chicken tender basket, catfish basket, the smoked buffalo wings, and banana pudding. The buffalo wings were the highlight. Great smokiness coming through the wings. Just a little bit of heat from the buffalo sauce. Highly recommend. Everything else was pretty good. The chicken was tender, and good crisp to the outside, and good seasoning. The catfish was pretty good too although they were pretty thin so didn't get quite as much of the crunch to tenderness contrast that I like in a catfish. Also, their tartar sauce is too sweet. I prefer more tang on the sauce. I think the sauces run sweet as I thought the champy sauce was a little too sweet over mustard-y. Good fries with great texture and seasoning. I also got the green bean sides which were a little soft but great, depth of flavor as it was clearly cooked with pork. The potato salad was good if not memorable. The kids loved the banana pudding. A little too much of the cream and not enough pudding but otherwise worth getting. All in all a strong chicken spot to visit while in Chattanooga.

Walking in , you could see a long bar that you could sit at or just order food at in a designated area and seat yourself around the place. We chose to set up the bar, of course. It kind of ended up being a bad idea because people had no idea about personal boundaries and being in other people's face while they're enjoying their beers and they are standing around ordering food and reaching over you. Ben and I even switch seats, because he is worried about his personal space then I am. Most of the food that was on the menu was barbecue driven but since I had just had poke, I was not hungry. The servers were very friendly when we were ordering and checked in on us often I just wish that they would have kept the line in a more orderly fashion since there was a designated area for ordering specifically.

So, as I was told by the staff, the restaurant portion has been spun off and sold from the brewery itself, so this is my first visit for food, since that has transpired. It is now known as "BUDS & BREWS CHATTANOOGA", part of a larger group out of Nashville, I was told. The bar/brewery looks the same, there is the same helpful staff, but in all honesty, the food just isn't as good. The pulled pork, was okay at best, the fried onion rings, just too greasy, and the chicken wings, just too dry. When first opened NR was the first microbrewery to prepare and offer their own food, and the bbq was stellar, but I cannot make that same statement today. Brews are still good, but if need a good microbrewery in Chattanooga that can offer you good food to go along with that cold one, my recommendation is either Oddstory or Five Wits. I'll continue to come to NR for a beer, as their Moonpie Stout is absolutely one of the best beers you can find in Chattanooga, but like I said if I am hungry too, this will no longer be one of my primary spots to consider.
