The food is absolutely amazing. We ate in here every day last week
My wife and I were just passing through town. I wanted an old school southern breakfast and I got one everything was great from the pancake to the eggs being cooked just right. Service was great as well. I'll probably eat here every time I visit Chattanooga.
Wow the biscuits here were just near perfect, if perfect can ever be obtained. The food order was made spot on. Definitely a spot to visit if your looking for a great breakfast. Service was prompt and friendly. I got ham & egg biscuit. The ham was very good and not a dried out slab of meat. Not very much parking but it seems many utilize the lot next door.
Stopped in for breakfast with a party of 8 and was seated very quickly. Server was prompt and took drink and food orders fast. The biscuit and gravy was very good and the prices we honestly pretty cheap. Overall if you are in the area and want to try somewhere new I would recommend stopping it.
We were looking for a good breakfast restaurant and tried Old Southern Restaurant for the first time. This place does not disappoint! The food was great and so was the service. We can't wait to go back.
Just some good ol country cooking with southern hospitality. Definitely recommend!!
Lunch $10 BBQ sliders. Piled full of delicious meat. Tots were perfect. Service was great. Will definitely be returning when in the area!
Great food! Very nice restaurant!! Very very kind staff!
