1. The Purple Daisy Picnic Cafe

Address: 4001 St. Elmo Street, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37409

The Purple Daisy Picnic Cafe is nestled at the foot of Lookout Mountain and serves excellent Southern food. The customer favorite is the "Piglet Pak," but I personally love "The Rainbow Sandwich," which is a three-layer sandwich with homemade chicken salad, pimento cheese, and cucumber spread. From the quirky decor to the scrumptious food, The Purple Daisy Picnic Cafe is definitely worth the visit!

2. Sluggo's North Vegetarian Cafe

Address: 501 Cherokee Boulevard, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37405

Sluggo's North Vegetarian Cafe has been labled the best vegan/vegtarian restaurant in Chattanooga. Sluggo's North Vegetarian Cafe offers hearty portions of healthy food that is fresh, healthy, delicious and attractively pleasing. I'm not a vegan nor vegetarian, but their 'Pot Stickers" Teriyaki Veggie Burger" has been highly recommended.

3. The Flying Squirrel

Address: 55 Johnson Street, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37408

The Flying Squirrel restaurant uses only the best local ingredients to create sophisticated plates. My personal favorite are the "Duck Carnitas Tacos," but if you're in the mood for brunch, you should definitely try the "Roasted Potato Hash." Whether you're in the mood for brunch, dinner, or cocktails, The Flying Squirrel will have something that will satisfy your tastebuds.

4. Brewhaus

Address: 224 Frazier Avenue, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37405

Bauhaus restaurant is a little taste of Germany in Chattanooga with the freshest mix of German-American brews and food. Since I'm a quarter German, I love how they dug up recipes from their grandmother's cookbook and added a modern twist. If you want to try a traditional German meal, then I would recommend "The Schnitzel Weiner Art" or "The Spaetzel." Also, they have a sausage line-up where you can customize you're own brat served on a pretzel bun.

5. The Camp House

Address: 149 E ML King Boulevard, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37402

The Camp House is a cool spot located off the beaten path that offers outstanding drinks and a world-inspired menu. My personal favorites are the "Farm House Press Sandwich" and "Mediterranean Flatbread."

If you're in the mood for brunch, I would highly recommend the "Bacon, Asiago, Spinach, and Onion Quiche" or the "Hot Goat Waffle." At The Camp House, their philosophy is, "We love coffee." So, you can expect coffee seasonal selections from South America or Asian countries.

6. Taconooga

Address: 207A Frazier Avenue, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37405

Taconooga is not just another pinch taco. At Taconooga, they specialize in authentic Mexican food and only uses the finest and freshest ingredients to spice up your day! My personal favorites are the "Taconooga Speciality Taco" and "Taquitos Mexicanos."

If you're really hungry, you should get "The Big Nooga Burrito," which is a 10-inch burrito filled with your choice of meat, rice, and beans; also its topped with the famous cheese dip, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, tomato, and sour cream. Whether you like tacos, nachos, or Mexican plates, Taconooga has something that will fill-up your belly.

At the Community Pie, it all started with simple idea, "pizza, beer, and ice cream." Community Pie specializes in authentic Neapolitan and traditional New York style pizza, crafted beer, and homemade gelato from their sister restaurant, Milk & Honey.

Puckett's Grocery & Restaurant resembles a community kitchen with live musical performances just a few feet away from your seat! Their menu features comfort food, barbecue smoked slow n' low over cherry wood, home cooked sides, and delicious desserts that you will remembers many years later.

The customer favorite is "Puckett's BBQ Sliders," but my personal favorites are the "Briskett Taco Salad" and "Redneck Burrito." If you have saved room for dessert, then you definitely need to try the "Honey Bun Bread Pudding" and "Moon Pie Banana Pudding," which are made right here in Chattanooga!

13. Wafflelz Factory

Address: 3 ML King Blvd. Chattanooga, Tennessee 37403

Do you love fluffy Belgium waffles made your way? At the Waffelz Factory, their Belgium waffles are available in almost an infinite amount of flavors! The color, aroma, and flavor of the waffle depends on the customer's creativity.

The chicken and waffles are a customer favorite, but I personally love The Tennezzean and the Waffelz Grilled Chicken and Parmesan Sandwichez. Whether you want the Waffelz Your Way or Wafflez Wonderz Desserts, the Waffelz Factory makes it their mission to making waffle wishes come true.
