My friend and I came right in the middle of Sunday brunch hours and it was so packed that I barely cinched a good parking spot, but we had a nice time. The outdoor seating was very spacious and cute. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros and wow, it was so delicious. Sometimes I think about that entree from time to time and how I should visit again. I highly recommend this place! So yummy read more

Delicious. Surprisingly delicious, actually. This is a hipster place that I fully expected to be overpriced and mediocre. It was overpriced, but my dish was excellent. I got the chicken and grits mainly because it sounded weird. But man, the combination of white cheddar grits topped with glazed honey kale, a chicken breast, a sunny side up egg and pickled onions was so good. And the ratio of all of those ingredients was perfect. When I tasted the kale, I was immediately disappointed that there wasn't more in the bowl. But it turned out to be a great balance with everything else. The pickled onions packed a nice punch. Having African rooibos tea alongside it all just made for a delicious breakfast. And how could I not end it all with a triple berry pastry? The pastry almost tasted undercooked but it was weirdly delicious. The berries hit that back part of your mouth that makes you salivate uncontrollably. It would've been even better with a touch of whipped cream on top, but it didn't need it. My friend got some kind of veggie dish that has sweet potato, kale, black beans, avocado, this chipotle sauce. Hers was delicious as well. I'd say it was super busy and very loud in there. We got seated in the back room, which was nice cos there was a bit more room for us, but we had to yell at each other to be heard. Our server was wonderful and polite. I felt like it took a while for our food to come, but it was a casual Saturday and I was hanging with my friend so I didn't mind. I'll be back! read more

My standard for brunch as changed after eating here. If I could give them 6 stars I would. Cute shop, indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is pup friendly AND they have heaters for colder weather (so if you're like me and are traveling with a pup, you can eat outside in January and not freeze to death). Food came out quickly and was delicious. The blueberry pancakes were thick and hearty, the bourbon maple syrup was delicious and not overly sweet. The biscuit was fantastic, buttery and just a hint of salt which really elevated the egg/cheese/avocado. I'm a breakfast purist and appreciate a well made breakfast sandwich. Coffee comes with a free refill, staff was super friendly and accommodating. 11/10 would recommend and hope to be back! read more

The Daily Ration - Lavender Latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

We went here for the first time on Saturday morning. You walk into the front counter to order, and you are given a number and a red card. (If you need anything at your table, you stick the red card on the number holder and someone will come to help you!) Then you can pick any seat you like. They have some seating inside and then a bunch of tables outside. It was a beautiful morning so of course the outside tables were full, but we found a table sitting under the beautiful trees. We didn't have any issues with bugs or anything despite sitting under the tree. We loved this spot for a cute breakfast spot! I got the breakfast plate, it was tasty. The sausage wasn't my favorite because it had a little too much seasoning. It tasted like rosemary and that's just not what I was expecting. But the potatoes and biscuit were amazing. My husband got the chicken and waffles. He said it was delicious. He never eats more than a couple bites, but he almost cleared his entire plate! That was a win!! read more

With so few dining options in the Riverview area, the Daily Ration was a welcome addition to the former Farmer's Daughter location. This brunch restaurant has been open since 2016 and I am now getting to try this wonderful brunch restaurant. The Daily Ration is one of the few local restaurants in the area that welcome dogs to the patio. I didn't visit Farmer's daughter as often, as I didn't care much for their menu. Food was not as good and I felt as though my options were limited. In comparison, there are many items I would be willing to eat at the Daily Ration. Breakfast is served from 8a to 2p from Sun to Sat. From my friends that come here all the time, this place is always packed. When I think of my favourite local haunts, there always seems to be an element where the food feels like it was made in my kitchen. My experience was like that. I ordered the Balsamic Avocado Toast [local multigrain bread, smashed avocado, cherry heirloom tomato salad, feta, soft-boiled egg] and Blueberry Flapjacks [three blueberry pancakes, whipped butter, bourbon maple syrup] and I topped it off with herbal hot tea. Great flavours and hearty portions. I found the service to be attentive as my friends and I were there for about an hour on a Sunday morning. There were tons of dogs on the patio. If your dog is not well socialized, there will be lots of distractions. Otherwise, a great place to hang with your pooch on a sunny day or after a walk in the neighbourhood. read more

Great food and atmosphere. One of the best lattes I've ever had. Friendly attentive service even in the patio read more

Ok. I'm in the city of Chattanooga. I love local restaurants. Like I search for them. Stay away from chains. So my daughter suggested The Daily Ration. Pretty promising. You wait in line and order and they bring it to you. I ordered the fried chicken and grits! Ok. It had a fried egg on it. Very tasty. My wife got eggs Benedict and my daughter ordered the pancakes. All of it was amazing. For sure try it out. These local restaurants are not ok. Go share the love with them. And over tip morning restaurant wait staff. They have to get up a lot sooner than you want to. read more

The Daily Ration is a nice spot for weekend brunch vibes and a great summer patio in Chattanooga. We stopped in on a recent Sunday afternoon and found the spot relatively busy. After waiting in line, we happily ordered a mimosa for her and delicious Paloma for me. We followed that up with another mimosa and a hellfire spicy Bloody Mary. For brunch, she had the breakfast plate whereas I had the chilaquiles, which resembled more of a breakfast nacho situation than any chilaquiles I've ever seen, but were satisfying nonetheless. The draw of this spot is their relaxing open air patio that seemed like a perfect spot to enjoy a summer afternoon with drinks and friends. read more

Super popular local brunch place with tons of options that's not in the downtown area. Overall a great find, food was delicious and high quality! Beautiful outdoor space with plenty of seating. Veggie bowl- each component was fresh and complemented each other. Tortilla strips were pipping hot and right out to the fryer. Roasted corn and sweet potato were cocked perfectly. Chipotle dressing has quite a kick and is quite tasty. I ordered a side of their pork belly, which was essentially 2 thick slices of bacon. read more

Cute little neighborhood restaurant with lots of open air seating. Good coffees and chai teas. Entrees are amply sized and tasty. We enjoyed the breakfast plate, D.R. burger, sausage burrito, and southern benedict. The staff was very agreeable to substitutions. Would definitely recommend. read more

Great service, friendly staff,. The biscuit shareable was great! The biscuit tasted fresh and homemade. The bloody mary was pretty standard with good flavor (uses zing and zang) but didn't have many garnishes (No celery or pickles) so just a tad disappointed about that! read more

Easy to order at counter and food delivered to table inside or outside. Smooth lattes. Crunchy fried chicken with my waffle and scrambled eggs with his flapjacks. Recommended by our hotel desk manager. Busy for a Tuesday morning. Lots of good energy. read more

it's just okay. i've been here twice, but it doesn't really stand out. i think there's better breakfast/brunch places in chatt. the chicken n waffles were dry and beignets are not beignets? more like churros. we did like their pepper jelly and blueberry sauces though. the ambiance is cute too. service is not that great though. read more

I took my mom here for brunch and we loved it! It was crowded so I had to drive around a bit to find parking. There was plenty of room inside and the decor was light and modern. We both had a Bloody Mary and they were very good, they use Hoff sauces. I got the sausage burrito and it was very yummy with grilled veggies and eggs inside also. My mom got the avo toast with egg and bacon, which she loved. We will be visiting again soon! read more

Friendly service and everything we ordered was delicious! I had a strawberry fields matcha latte & a veggie burrito. We shared an order of beignets which were the best I've had outside of New Orleans! Would highly recommend for breakfast or brunch read more

Great outdoor patio area. Their breakfast is great as well as their espresso. (They have the best jam!) I would say the only problem is parking. There is a popular burger place right next door so the closer to lunch you go the harder it will be to find parking. read more

This is an all around great brunch spot. My wife and I had a delicious meal here. Everything was so flavorful, and the service was amazing. I had the chicken and grits. So, so good. All of the flavors were creative and blended so well together (the dish came with chicken, egg, kale, pickled onions, and grits). My only critique is that some of the chicken had a rubbery texture, not really sure why. My wife enjoyed the southern benedict. Very delicious as well. We're from out of town, and we're really happy that we found this place. Would definitely visit again. read more

I wanted to love this place because hubby hyped it up, and it appears everyone in our group ordered chicken and waffles except me and my son. I guess it's safe to say the chicken and waffles were probably good. My ginger latte was warm but made pretty. I had the chicken and grits with scrambled eggs. My eggs were old and cold, grits were warm, chicken fried too hard. The side of kale and onions were delicious. My son had a kid plate of pancake, bacon, and eggs. His eggs were scrambled and old. His pancake was a generous serving. I don't think he needed the big dollop of butter, so I quickly removed it. He enjoyed his bacon. He's 4 he ate most of the food but couldn't eat even even half of the pancake. We chatted with our table mates mostly. Our server didn't come back in time for me to complain. I actually was waiting for over 10 minutes for her to return with my silverware, so maybe that's why my grits were warm? I wind up seeing a stack in the corner and got up and got me a set when I realized she may have forgotten. The place was packed and seems to be a popular choice amongst the locals as well as us visiting read more

This spot is BANGIN! For real, had the best breakfast here today. First off, they are very efficient. You order at the giant bar, get a number and find a table. Food came out really quick and all of the staff was nice and friendly. But the food, the food is why I will be back ASAP! As a non meat eater I super appreciate all the veggie options. I had the veggie burrito (smothered in Hoff Sauce obvi) and it was SO FREAKIN GOOD! Also had the hot black tea which was not as strong as I like it, but still very good. My friend loved the avocado toast as well. I am super excited to come back and try more dishes soon, absolutely love this cute local spot. read more

*update* We returned for their Friday French Toast, which is seriously the best French toast ever. It was crispy on the outside, coated in cinnamon and sugar, topped with fresh strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries. A server told us they change flavors each week. If I lived here, I would be at The daily Ration every Friday! *original post* Great neighborhood coffee and breakfast spot! Very roomy with indoor and outdoor seating. Order at the counter and they bring your order to you. We only had coffee and cafe mocha; both were excellent! Staff is very helpful and friendly. read more

I went there specifically for an omelet based on their online menu. I was informed they no longer create omelets. Too bad! Update your site please. read more

We were passing through Chattanooga and decided to stop at the Daily Ration after seeing lots of good Yelp reviews. We arrived early on a Saturday afternoon and had a hard time finding parking since the parking lot is pretty small and all the street parking was taken. We ordered at the counter and then the servers brought the food to our table. The entire side of the building was exposed to allow for air circulation and there is a cute patio for outdoor dinning. I had the southwest bowl which was super filling, wholesome and had a little bit of a kick to it. I'm very glad we made the stop and hope to be back sometime soon! read more

Breakfast before Leaving! Well Chat was awesome and every restaurant was as well. We ended our grand weekend with a breakfast GREATNESS at The Daily Ration. Prior to going to Chat, we researched places and this one was at the top of the list. DR is located across the waters so we traveled about 5 miles from the downtown area, which wasn't a bad ride. Our waitress name was Amanda, she was very nice and explained the menu to us. I ordered the Chicken and Grits Bowl-House made white cheddar grits, honey glazed sauteed kale, cruze buttermilk fried chicken, spicy pickled red onion, and a hard fried egg. OMG!!! Can you say DAMN THAT WAS GOOD. LOL! I had sweet tea because we sat outside and it was too hot for coffee. Amanda, thank you and YOU will see me again! Pictures to follow. read more

I hate to admit that I often forget about this place. It's just not on my usual route to and from work or my usual errands. But my boyfriend and I went there for brunch this past weekend and we will be back again much sooner rather than later. My breakfast biscuit (with sausage) was deliciously filling without feeling indulgent, and BoyfrIend said their chicken and waffles is his new favorite C&W in town. Also, their white cheddar grits were perfectly seasoned and flavored... I didn't need to doctor them up at all. Great job y'all. Can't wait to eat there again soon! PS: his doggo loved the patio. read more

Our air bnb host recommended this place as a good breakfast/brunch spot. We were not disappointed! Being from Atlanta, my bf and I know good Chicken and Grits and I have to tell you that the grits here are amazing. Super creamy and tasty and the chicken breast was surprisingly juicy. I like the order at the front and seat yourself flow they have going here. It's makes for quicker service and a solid dining experience. If I'm ever back in Chattanooga, I'll be sure to return.

Food was decent but way over priced. Breakfast for 2 adults and two kids was $78 with tip (and no alcohol). They think very highly of their $5 side of potatoes. We had Ruby Sunshine yesterday with a Bloody Mary and a mimosa and the total with too was $60. The atmosphere is nice, but wouldn't come back. read more

I am very peeved right now. I've been waiting almost an hour for my meal. AND IT HAS STILL NOT ARRIVED!! Prior, we waited at least 30 min. 2 hours later, i'm still food less, cranky, and most importantly hungry. This review has nothing to do with the quality of food, but rather the extremely slow service. I highly recommend that people who don't have 5 hours to spend getting lunch don't come to this establishment. Thank you for reading my rant. Good day. Update: I changed the review from a 2-star down to a 1-star. My stomach is aching from hunger at this point. Waitress is rude. If I could give a 0-star review I would. Very frustrated.
