We got to the restraunt about 8:05 on a Sunday night. Their business hours are 10am to 9pm. When we walked in their was a 4 top waiting to be seated and a group of maybe 5 or 6 waiting in the lobby. It seemed that they had been turned away but asked to look at the menu before they left and walked away shortly after we entered. We were told “it would be 10 minutes but that they close at 9 and we would need to make sure to put in our order in immediately.” I did notice an empty table, but figured they weren’t seating that table for whatever reason. While we were waiting to be acknowledged after the family ahead of us left another family walked in. I believe they were a party of 4 or 5. The hostess told them that “unfortunately they had reached capacity for the night as they close at 9 and it was 8:10.” Theyfamily looked taken aback but didn’t put up a fuss and just left as the kids asked “why are we leaving?” confused by the situation. Maybe 3 minutes later another family of 4 walked in and the hostess gave them the same spiel about reaching capacity for the night. The family let her know they had Uber’d to the restaurant. The hostess responded that “there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance, but she’d see what she could do” and walked away for a few seconds and came back to confirm they indeed were not going to be able to be seated at a table, but that the two parents and their two young kids could “sit at the bar if they wanted as it’s first come first serve.” The family opted to take that option, but it was not lost on me that the bar option wasn’t offered to the first family. Eventually, we were sat at the empty table that I saw when we first got into the restaurant. As an aside: We did find it odd that the two parties that were turned away were ethnic of sorts (appeared Hispanic and middle eastern) and the parties waiting on the bench when we arrived, the family set at the bar, and ourselves were all white.

I wish I could say that the food was worth the less than stellar customer service at the beginning - but it was not. My fried chicken was tasty, but the green beans were tragically under cooked. Looked sautéed but tasted raw with the crunch to back up the taste. They were out of the mashed potatoes that I was super excited to try so I instead got the Mac and cheese. My husband got the pork chop, French fries, and the Mac and cheese. The pork chop was not super flavorful, but was cooked well. His mac and cheese was super creamy and had a lot of sauce. My Mac and cheese somehow was dry and had almost no sauce. Looking at his made me jealous, but I don’t know how the same dish would have such different consistency at the same visit at the same table.

For the record, we left at 9:03 after being sat at 8:17, placing our food order almost immediately, waiting 25 minutes for the food, and waiting for our server to bring us the check. Seemed to be no rush other than at the hostess stand.

Over all an awful experience and truly the only bad dining experience we had while visiting Chattanooga for this last week. Definitely not a place I would recommend to my friends or family travelling this way in the future.
