TailGate Brewery Chattanooga

Went there a number of years ago but could not remember tge place. My wife on the other hand knew…read moreexactly where it was and even where we sat. She could have told me anything and how would I know? Anyway, we were seated very quickly and our server was there before we knew it. He took our drink order and have us a few minutes to check out the menu. When he came back we asked if we could do half Demarco and half sausage and pepperoni. Said yes so that's what we got. Pizza came quick and it was prolly one of the best pizzas I've had in a long long time. Although I can't remember the last time I was there, but pretty sure it was good then too. I will say that there was one very serious problem and we could have handled it better. You see there were 4 of us with one being our 9 yr old grandson. Pizza had 8 slices, so we each had 2. Now tell me how fair is it that Grandpa only got 2 and the kid got 2. We should have ordered a 2nd pie. Great place, great food and great location downtown, so join the community and have a great slice!

I was tempted to ask for extra red or marinara sauce. The crust was good, no burning on the bottom. I had to eat half the slice before I got to the special cheese. The peach sangria was very refreshing & for 1/2 off I thought about extending my stay, but I had to keep room for the next pizza stop. The bartender & staff were all really nice & working as a team. Communicating with each other & the patrons. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu.

ABOVE ALL there was a rat in the restaurant the fries were the only good thing that came out of this place because I brought them home. I hope this place gets bombed, robbed, and I hope the owner dies of cancer NOW!

We were given the options of staying inside or being placed outside and we chose (biased a lil) the opportunity of eating outside. We were taken care of accordingly by Jonathan, who is a perfect example of someone that makes tourism worth it, we chitchatted back-and-forth and came across some great options on our appetizers and drinks.

We had to wait a hot minute to order, and after that it was about a 1hr wait for our food. (I want to be clear that I think this wait time was because of the special pizza week that was going on and is not a regular occurrence.) That being said, we had our sodas, and they were able to get our side salads and garlic knots out to use pretty quickly. It was just the pizzas themselves that took a little bit. The staff were working so hard, and I want to give a shout out to the woman running the register who always knew what was going on whenever anyone came to check on their order. The side salad was delicious - I got mine with homemade ranch. And the garlic knots were perfection. I also really enjoyed our pizza when it came out.

It's a cute place, the service. is very good, and the pricing is good, but the pizza, sorry, it's just okay. It's the crust, where it's coming up short, though on the cheese pizza, it took me four bites before it tasted like a cheese pizza to me, the sausage pizza was better, for what it is worth, but this spot is not going to be part of my pizza circuit, sorry.

The service was good, and the young man who helped me was very patient and kind. Now, onto the food. I ordered the 12-inch pizza, which is advertised as feeding 2-3 people. I assumed the slices would be similar in size to the pizza slices displayed in the tray, but unfortunately, they weren't. The pizza sauce wasn't my favorite, and the dough was extremely thin, so the pizza just wasn't very filling for me. Looking back, I probably should have ordered one of the larger pie slices from the tray, especially since they come with sides. Overall, the experience was okay, but I don't think I would order the 12-inch pizza again.

One of the important things to realize is, the family has two locations, the "Mothership" on Central and their original storefront here on MLK, The Greenhouse.

The Greenhouse is a smaller, more intimate location, it's adults only, operates on fewer days, with a typical 4:00pm opening time.

Oddstory is the only brewery in town, where I am willing to sample a sour, they are, that good.
