Flying Squirrel is restaurant/bar in the "hip" area of Chattanooga off East Main Street. This was our first visit and were there for dinner on a Saturday night. We arrived around 6:30 and had options outside on the patio or indoors. It was a nice evening, and we picked outdoors on the front patio area. There is a nice side patio as well, but it allows smoking. The menu is robust with many interesting options for dining and from the bar. For dinner, they have share plates as well as traditional entrees. I picked a couple of small plates - the carne asada tacos and pan con tomate and my wife had the hanger steak. We were both pleased with our selections and ended up sharing everything. The tomate was light and tasty. There were three tacos with generous toppings. Together, they were a quite filling. I believe the hanger steak was the best of the three, however. It was cooked to perfection and just enough spiciness. Prices are a bit on the high side, but not completely unreasonable. Service was just fine from the hostess to our server. Parking in the area can be terrible, but there are several pay lots nearby.

First - Uber if you can. Parking is a pain - but that does not take away from the food.Sat at the bar. Bartender was friendly and answered all of our questions. The meat was out of this world - tender and flavorful. Hummus was okay. Beef tartare was excellent. Mashed potatoes and turnip greens were good. Not a big fan of the pickled vegetable dish.Great selection of wines and spirits.Crowd was eclectic and rather noisy thanks to a large group in the center of the room.Nice butcher shop selections for cook at home.

The service is first rate and the sides are fresh. These are the best chops in the area. I highly recommend trying them, just leave me a couple for my next visit.

Had a wonderful experience at St. Johnâs in Chattanooga. Upscale without the stuffiness of most white table cloth restaurants. The interior was modern, bright. The menu had something for everyone: scallops, steak, fish, pork, and a wide variety of salads. The service was perfect-attentive but not intrusive. My guest ordered the filet that was a bit over cooked but still delicious. Our server compensated with two gratis desserts without us even complaining. Good wine list & knowledgeable bartender who was able to craft a perfect Manhattan. Recommended...Will definitely visit again when in Chatt.

My husbands friend said this place is amazing has the best corn and cornbread. The cornbread was so dry had to chase it with a drink. Most of it was fried, desserts were old fashioned like banana pudding that looked like it had been there a while. No hair nets with food service and $20 for two. I say save money and go to Golden Corral

Not being a fan of buffets or âcomfort foodâ, was pleased to find you could also order off the menu. Since it was past our usual dinner hour, had a bbq pork sandwich and soup which was perfect (and very inexpensive). Hubby had the pork chops and when the baked beans arrived cold, he was given an exchange of side and we were both offered ice cream as an âWeâre sorryâ. Waitstaff were the prime examples of southern hospitality as was the cashier. Recommend the bbq pork sandwich...wish I had one right now. Recommend Wallyâs.

I'm hesitant to go Vegan friendly places in a city's "Art District". Images of tasteless but environmentally friendly whole grains, quinoa bowls and boiled tofu come to mind. But breakfast called and this place was close to the hotel. Outstanding breakfast of Eggs Benedict on a thick slab of ham. I had bacon on the side. The hollandaise sauces was thick and tasty, obviously fresh made. Even great coffee in solid mugs. (And I heard they are Vegan Friendly if that's your thing.)The place is small and had a good line outside on a Saturday even in the rain. Highly recommended.Thank you! We work hard at what we do! We appreciate you noticing. The idea is let all dietary needs have their needs meet without attracting attention to themselves. So, we make enough vegan, gluten free, vegetarian and carnivore options for everyone!

My husband and I, along with other seniors, stopped for dinner as we traveled back home. Firstoff, I must say that I WOULD NEVER CHOOSE THIS RESTAURANT. Number 1, the type of restaurant....family style....Number 2, the location, in the "hood".OK so we were with a group of seniors who knew better. Let's talk about the food. They claim to be #1 best chicken in the world. NO. NO. NO. Good, crispy and moist but not the world's best. Only white meat and I LOVE DRUMSTICKS. Not their problem but OK, not a big deal.Let's talk about the food. Very good chicken, ok bbq ribs. NASTY, NASTY what was supposed to be pulled pork. It was shredded pork (so they say) with what I thought was tomato sauce over pork. Others at our table thought it was spaghetti sauce poured over the pork. I didn't even think it was pork but chicken. Definitely not BBQ pulled pork as we know it in the South. However, our server confirmed it was pork. The ribs were good. Others at our table did not like it. The potatoes, UGH! Looked and tasted like it came from the can. People at our table didn't eat it. The cole slaw and potato salad looked and tasted as if it came from a local restaurant supply house. The cole slaw was heavy on the vinegar. The potato salad was heavy on the mustard. UGH! Again, it tasted as if it came from a restaurant supply store. I didn't taste the beans or the greens. The corn bread was dry. The rolls good. Sweet or unsweetened tea to drink. NO! I had water. Coffee offered after the meal...no takers.Now, let's talk about the restaurant. It is located in the NOT Best of neighborhoods. Tables have 8 or 10 (can't remember seating) at each table. So., you are seated with strangers. And let me tell you, in this day and age and with the flu season and seasonal allergies, and all that other stuff, you are seated with strangers who might not have the same good hygiene you have. Coughing....sneezing....not washing hands before grabbing food....let's not go any further. The turn table goes round and round. But, you cannot see the people on the other side of you. You may go and grab something while your fellow diner stopped to grab a bite. Round and round here we go.Best of all, servers were very efficient and quickly replaced items. They served coffee afterwards but we just wanted to leave. THE WHOLE BUNCH OF US!The top of it all was the peach cobbler. UGH! No one at our table ate it. It had a soggy crust (bottom) soggy, mushy whatever with a few CANNED thinly sliced peaches on the top.l ????????????????????????? What the heck?Anyway, like I said we did not choose this restaurant for dinner. What is really interesting is that it has been in business for a long time...;...So....was this a bad day and they just ordered restaurant food (canned) for us or had they just changed their entrees over the years? UNBELIEVABLE! NOT FOR EVERYONE!

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!
