The food is still wonderful, but they no longer serve coffee and tea. They have only cold drinks in cans. To me, that was a message that they care about their own convenience and not about providing a good experience for the customer. I loved Sluggo's for many years, and it is with deep regret that I give up my association with them. read more

Rated a 5 for creativity, blend of flavors, freshness, presentation, healthiness, and taste! The Popeye bowl is what I got. It's brown rice mixed in peanut sauce, peanuts, tofu, cabbage, raw spinach, green onions, and carrots. The flavors meshed well together, and the peanut sauce tied everything together nicely. The portion size is plentiful as well. They had a decent mix of beer options as well. Service was nice and cool. Would definitely come back to try other awesome stuff on their menu. read more

Sluggo's Vegetarian Cafe - Popeye bowl. Very tasty! - Vegetarian Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Very good, filling meal of crispy breaded seitan served over mashed potatoes and spicy greens on the side with root beer (on tap) to drink. If I wasn't just visiting Chattanooga, id be a regular at this place! read more

After today's brunch I'm sorta torn. We have been ordering and eating Sluggos again after our 10 months ago mishap with them. I will say the following items on their normal menu have been really amazing: Curry bowl, Pecan Dusted Seitan Platter, Cheeky wings,. These are so good we can't wait to order them again and again, so we thought we'd give brunch a try today. Then i come on yelp to review it and see I've had their brunch 10 months ago and hated it then. Today we ordered the Omlettes with grits, home fries, and a side of pancakes. The pancakes were delish, but guys the laziness with the fruit is really sad again, same as 10 months ago. The Omlettes are like a shredded veggie pancake, there was no cheez sauce that we paid extra for, and the sausage patty for my hubby tasted like a flavorless bean burger, AGAIN. Guys I know you know how to cook, your weekly food is exceptional. Is it just a bad call to try to come get brunch???? read more

My family was in town for the weekend and came here early on a Saturday evening, and loved it. The prices were incredibly reasonable, and everyone left happy and full! They had a kids' menu (yay!) and my son was more than happy with his PB&J on sourdough with carrot sticks and ranch. My hubby had the club sandwich and I had the pecan-crusted seitan platter, both of which were HUGE and super tasty! read more

The pecan seitan was excellent and the Thai bowl with tofu was super good too. The hummus was good, but not great. I would absolutely make this place a regular on my eat out rotation. read more

Hole-in-the wall that doesn't meet up to expectations. Mediocre food... We won't go back

Great food! I loved the vegan chili! My husband enjoyed the rueben very much. We will definitely return.

Sluggo's is my go-to for vegan food in Chattanooga. Their genre is "vegan soul food", but I think they really excel at making delicious, creative, and omni-friendly food that you never have to apologize for bringing a non-vegan to try out! The Panhandle Tofu is probably my favorite meal here, but there are so many other great options to try. The Sunday brunch always has a creative and inspired menu, and the $2 Tuesday specials are a lot of fun to try a snack-meal of a few different items. Try their unapologetically delicious vegan food. You will be glad you did! read more

Lots of vegan options. I had the Philly Seitan, lentil pattymelt, zucchini griddle cakes and they were all good. read more

This is a very small restaurant but unlike most places in the city, you can park right in front without paying any meter. There are only three tables inside and a few outside. There was only one person to wait on us but did a fine job after we got his attention in the dishroom. The vegan food was excellent. I got Seitan, mashed potatoes and beef like gravy. I also ordered a side of sweet potatoes. Everything tasted delicious. My friend got the pecan burger and was really thrilled with hers too. We both had salads and we loved the dressing she got a dilly dressing and I got a house dressing. I love homemade dressings. We had a great meal and had a lot to take home. Did not see any desserts on the menu. Really enjoyed our food. read more

Alright but was asked not to return when I requested the manager remove collard greens, that were barely cooked and a seitan, pineapple, and potatoe "jerk" sandwich that tasted of cinnamon that wasn't listed. Understandably they don't wanna waste money on something that you're not gonna enjoy but to be asked not to return because of this reason when I originally came here for a beer let's me know that this is not a place that I would return for anything. Kind people and God bless their journey but it's a no for me. read more

The staff here was great! Everyone was friendly. The prices were pretty good for the amount of food you get. I order the chili. It was on the spicier side in my opinion but very flavorful. My hubby got the phili sandwich and enjoyed it. This place had nice, chill vibes. read more

Traveling through Chattanooga and this place was calling our name. We had Wings and Pot Stickers as an appetizer and really enjoyed. The wings were a bit big which made them less appetizing and the sauce was very dill flavored. The pot stickers were awesome. I enjoyed The Berliner as my meal and Steve had the Quinoa Burger. The Berliner, a Ruben, was lacking much of what makes a Ruben. I hardly had any sauerkraut and little mustard. We are always appreciative of vegetarian restaurants that accommodate our/more my needs. I felt that Seitan was a huge staple here, which is fine. Who doesn't love well marinated Seitan. But it can sometimes lack in creativity. It was perfect for what we desired at that time but I more than likely would try somewhere new next time. read more

An oasis of great food on a rainy Chattanooga morning! On a recent visit from out of town, I had the tofu scramble, and my friend the breakfast tacos. Both were excellent: the tofu was perfectly seasoned, the salad fresh, and the "sausage" patty I had quite delicious. Hash browns were similarly good, although best seasoned with sriracha. Service was quick and pleasant, even when I spilled some ice--and featured a surprisingly turnaround on our food. Excellent vegan cuisine from Chattanooga's answer to Nashville's Wild Cow. Visiting Sluggo's was one of the highlights of our trip, and the next time we visit Chattanooga, we will definitely be back! read more

Sluggo's Vegetarian Cafe - Sunday breakfast at Sluggo's. - Vegetarian Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

This place is just okay, but there aren't really any other vegan and gluten free options in Chattanooga so we ate there twice. Food is bland but they use fresh vegetables so that's something. read more

All of the food was delicious. It was so exciting having an entirely vegan menu with great options (rather than the typically French fries and side salad you typically get at non-vegan restaurants). read more

I'm not a vegan and I have no plans of changing that any time soon. However, I have never eaten at a place that made such a convincing argument for being a vegetarian! The service was really good. The staff was friendly and helped answer all of our questions about the food. The cashier even let us try this dish whose name escapes me at the moment (Apple ginger something). I ordered the Golden Bowl which was just perfect. I wish I knew the seasoning that was used on the eggplant. It was phenomenal. I could eat this dish all day, every day. I usually avoid vegetarian places because of the skimpy portion sizes... However, this place was extremely generous with their portions. I am forever grateful for this business decision. My lady had the Hummus Plate and the Chef's Salad with the Tahini Goddess dressing. She loved the dressing and would drink it from a gourd if possible. The hummus plate was out of control. I loved the olives and the peppers (on the side) were a great addition. I can't believe this place is such a well kept secret. It's certainly my favorite place to eat at the moment. And I loved the art work!! read more

As exciting as it is to find a place on the road where as a vegetarian I can order anything off the menu, I found myself a little disappointed. Service was great, friendly and fast. I ordered the wings as an appitizer and sadly the only cold wing some how made it to my plate and happened to be the first one I consumed. Bad start. The wings in my opinion need some crunch to them. Instead they where soft seitan chunks not wing-like at all. For the main course, I ordered the walnut mushroom burger. My expectations for all the ingredients in this described masterpiece was high but short lived. It was flavorless and disappointing. I had to pour some wing sauce on it to give it some life. You can put wing sauce on anything to make it better. The accompanied side of mashed potatoes also needed flavor. The side salad was fresh and crunchy and the dressing was good. Overall, the food was good but not great. They could step up their flavor profile to wow my tatse buds. There is a lot of room for flavor improvements. read more

Everyone here is so nice! The food is great too! Everything is homemade! They make different pasta salad recipes every other day or so. All delicious. The golden bowl is like a hug in a bowl. So tasty! I always get the club, but everything is great! read more

Beer selection is limited, but smart. Food offerings are extensive and yumcredible. I think I just made up a word. Whatever. We ordered a plate of the hummus and the same entree - the Pecan Crusted Seitan, served over potatoes with a salad and collard greens on the side, with a teeny piece of cornbread. It was great! I cleaned my plate. God, now I'm rhyming. Must...wrap...up...review. Seating is somewhat limited when it's busy, but so much so that I wouldn't wait a minute for all vegan foodstuffs. I was surprised to see New Holland's (A Michigan microbrewery) Oktoberfest on draft, so I ordered one. It was good too. Minus one star for the cashier thinking she needed to explain her Santa's Little Helper Simpsons reference to me! I got a Duff Beer tattoo, woman! Haha. Good times. As others noted, this is, oddly enough, owned and operated by the very same people who own Sluggo's in Pensacola. I found this very strange since my last trip was to Pensacola. Unfortunately, while there, we opted for another sandwich shop instead of Sluggo's. I'll have to correct this next time. read more

Sluggo's Vegetarian Cafe - Art for sale - Vegetarian Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

We stopped at Sluggo's North after looking for a place nearby Chattanooga, TN for lunch. OK- we got there almost at dinner time but I digress. The counter person was very patient with us as we asked questions and decided what we wanted for our meal. Once our order was placed, our food was served quickly and piping hot. I ordered the Mushroom Walnut Burger- and would not hesitate to order it again. Both our meals were tasty. The only thing that I felt was a bit odd was my garlic mashed potatoes were "somewhat" mashed also known as "chunky" but they were yummy and I didn't mind the extra chewiness. In the final analysis, two clean plates told the story! Other reviewers mentioned the decor, which is what I would describe as "avant-garde" with original art pieces on the wall and strong colors everywhere. Certainly this could be off-putting to some people, but I prefer to think of this style as "progressive" which matches the neighborhood which seems to be in a renaissance from long-abandoned warehouses being transformed into attractive lofts and interesting new shops. Also it is plainly stated in the name that this is a _Cafe_ which at least to me implies that the decor could be anything and everything. I enjoyed the artsy and collegiate-ish clientele who added some color to the dining area, and we enjoyed the quirky classic pop music on the sound system. After a shift change I have to comment that the rap-reggae mash-up music was not my style but tolerable while I finished my 16 oz Rolling Rock. We live quite a long drive from the up and coming (appearing?) neighborhood that Sluggo's North is located in, but if they were nearby, we would certainly be regulars because of the great food and friendly service. If you are not necessarily a "vegetarian", there is a lot to enjoy at Sluggo's North including the super fresh bread used in the sandwiches and the crisp vegetables used in the salads and sandwiches. Please give them a try with an open mind and I feel that you will enjoy what you order. read more

WOW- Yum!! In town visiting a friend and found this place. It's so damn good. I have a huge weakness for southern cooking and this place hit the spot. Loved the pecan crusted seitan with mushroom gravy, cornbread, and greens. I wish I lived here so I could try more of the menu. read more

I recently talked to friend and she described Sluggo's as a veggie greasy spoon, which after trying I can totally agree. It's the perfect place to go for vegetarian comfort food. It's very casual and laid back. The menu offers a a pretty wide variety and so you're guaranteed to find something for everyone and you really don't even realize the meat is missing. The food is pretty filling and tasty but I really wasn't blown away by anything in particular. read more

Upon entering the restaurant there was a long line of customers waiting to order. The place had opened just a couple minutes prior to us arriving - to me the queue of loyal customers was a sign of good food. The one cashier that takes everyone's order was super friendly. It slowed down the pace of the line but the cashier was willing to work with all the new people like me to find the perfect dish. They had a variety of breakfast items and specials. For a family of 4 people we ate for under $30. The best part - every item in the restaurant is 100% vegan. It's definitely a struggle finding this type of place in Atlanta, so finding this in Chattanooga was a pleasant suprise, thanks Yelp vegans for spreading the word! read more

I've always liked Sluggo's food. When they moved into their newest space a while back, they had these really bright lights and white walls, and I found the space kinda uncomfortable. Since then when I've gone, I sit outside and I'm happy (though I think they may have done some remodeling or redecorating since then). And really, now it's just delivery for me since COVID-19 but I actually have found I'm liking the food even more. Last time, I ordered the Berliner sandwich and it was great! read more

Sluggo's Vegetarian Cafe - Awesome wings and nachos. Just need more ranch because those wings are spicy! - Vegetarian Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

To start, tried the pesto bruschetta appetizer , which of course has fresh tomatoes with toasted baguettes, but uses pesto aoli and almond parmesan to make things interesting. Despite a crowded day, the appetizer came out swiftly. The toasted baguette was fresh and made for a nice base. Good appetizer overall but I thought the pesto could use a little more kick. For the main course I ordered the specialty Seitan Meatloaf topped with a tomato gravy, served with garlic mashed potatoes topped with a mushroom gravy and a side of sour dough toast. Wow, what a stupendous job on the meatloaf... There's a blast of onion, tomato, and pepper flavors enhanced by a multitude of spices that are absent in most real meat loafs! The seitan was a great choice as a meat substitute and had a nice browned texture on the outside. Spuds were also nicely done but the loaf takes the crown. read more

Having come after the lunch rush, I was pleasantly surprised to see it was quiet and clean after reading all of these reviews. We were extremely hungry and were really looking forward to some hearty vegetarian dishes. The gentleman behind the counter was knowledgable about what someone with gluten allergies could eat, and he always double checked with the kitchen, which made me feel very relieved after having been glutened at another establishment in Chattanooga. We started out with their polenta cakes, the sauce was amazing. But sadly the polenta cakes were really salty! My husband got the mushroom walnut burger and squash patties, and I got the blacked tofu salad. My husband liked his burger, though it did fall apart a bit. And the patty was lacking a bit of flavor but the sauce was a bit to salty. But it was a TON of food! He couldn't finish it all. Overall he was satisfied with the dish. As for my dish, the dressing on the salad was excellent. The tofu was pressed really well and had a great texture and flavor. Sadly it was very salty as well. The flavors and presentation were all there with the food, it was just the inconsistency of the salt that gave it a 4 star for me. I was gulping down water the rest of the day after that meal. But it was still very tasty! read more

I've been coming here for a couple years, since before they moved. As a Vegetarian, finding out about this place was a breath of fresh air! I can order off the whole menu! All of their food is delicious and homemade, with a very minimalist, artsy atmosphere. They have a lot of different choices for food, whether you just want a sandwich, or a seitan steak dinner (complete with mashed potatoes, spicy collard greens, and cornbread = one of my personal favorites). Whatever you get, I promise it'll be worth your money! read more

Sluggo's. Hm. Used to love this place, but open returning I have had to reconsider... I got the popeye bowl. Maybe I just ordered wrong, but this bowl was really a disappointment. It ended up being about 10$ and there was so much sauce and so little flavor I barely got through 1/4 of it. My friend ordered the kale citrus salad, and once again (maybe this is our fault for ordering it because honestly kale is not that amazing let's be REAL) but I've had better kale salads for much cheaper prices that were way less bitter and way more edible. Disappointed. If anyone has any better suggestions let me know because I STILL BELIEVE in Sluggo's potential!! read more
