If you are looking for classic Southern cuisine, this lesser known restaurant in Chattanooga will delight your taste buds.
With a menu that is a mix of barbecue, American grill, sandwiches and delicious desserts. I tried their Stuffed Potato with BBQ Pork with the Sweet BBQ Sauce and a side of Hashbrown Casserole. I finished off my lunch with some Alabama Dirt, a pudding with oreo crumbs. It was delicious.
