We are a small family owned business with only 5 tables inside and 2 out side. We try to make you fill like you are with friends.

My husband, his cousin, and I went to the Aquarium and then chose this restaurant due to its #7 rating on Trip Advisor. Disappointed in the decor (hole in tablecloth) and very cramped. My husband ordered the Saturday Special (catfish) which was very good, and his Cousin ordered a pork plate, which was good. I ordered the Spare Ribs (large order) and they were over-cooked and hard. Had to ask twice for drink refills, and twice for a to-go cup. Could not for the life of me, figure out how this restaurant received the rating that it did!

Small, local BBQ shack. They offer a good BBQ pork sandwich and fries. Ask for extra sauce. Service is quick and the staff is always friendly, like they really appreciate your business. Drive-thru or walk-up. Outdoor seating available. They are the real thing for local BBQ, with a smoke pit right on premises. Get your order to go and take it to the Battlefield to enjoy the beautiful day!

Driving through on the interstate and decided to stop and try it out. Coworker had a brisket sandwich and enjoyed it. I had a BLT which consisted of smoked bacon, lettuce, toasted sourdough, and fried green tomato. It also came with Thatcher Sauce but I got that on the side. Itâs more of a BBQ type ranch dipping sauce. Could be good dipping fries and such but I wasnât feeling it on my sandwich. The BLT was otherwise delicious! Would definitely stop again if Iâm in the area.

A cozy little BBQ restaurant next to the incline railway at the foot of Lookout Mountain.

We're always interested in trying out true local restaurants to get the homestyle food appreciated by local residents. We had read about the Purple Daisy and happened to pass it when we were in Chattanooga so we decided to stop for lunch. We didn't realize that "picnic" actually meant the restaurant would be serving the food on paper plates with plastic cutlery! There were no seats inside so we ate outside and there is no ambience in either place. But those points can be passed over if the food in a restaurant is really good. However, the barbecue pork sandwiches--their specialty-- were rather dry, without sauce, because the idea was to add sauce from bottles at the table. The banana pudding was raved about so we tried that, and were glad that we did, because we can give that a positive rating. It was very tasty and some of the best we've had.

I've had several dishes at Choo Choo. It's a clean, friendly, charming place to eat with that country feel. The food is always fresh and very tasty, and it's at a fair price. Not too expensive. I really like their fried dill pickles as an appetizer. I never would have thought I'd try a fried pickle, but those are some tasty treats.
