Our waiter was great! We were able to eat outside on a beautiful morning and each order avocado toast and a side pancake. Wow. SO much food. We thought we would get one slice of toast but the orders came with TWO thick slices of bread topped with delicious lemony mash on a bed of light greens. I ended up not eating one one slice of toast so I could eat the delicious pancake. Coffee was hot and kept coming.

Located about 35 minutes west of Chattanooga and well worth the drive. They are located in The Lodge Cast Iron Store and Museum and it is a perfect fit. A full breakfast, brunch, lunch menu, but my favorites are the cornbread omelette, French toast, and the Big Bad Breakfast skillet with a pancake as your bread. The atmosphere, decor and location are so well thought out. Our server Taylor is the absolute best, she goes way above and beyond to make everyone feel welcomed and she loves to share the background/story of the restaurant. She will definitely be opening her own location some day, and I’ll be there.

Where shall I start?! This place is fantastic! The restaurant is appropriately appointed with beautiful decor, all the way down to the booth table tops with retro motif! Very welcoming, well-lit, and spacious. The bar area is quite large. The food portions are large enough and satisfying. We ordered pancakes, the waffle and the yard house skillet and they were are super delicious! Our server, Jade got our idees correct, was efficient, and always attentive to her tables. She made some great suggestions and is definitely an asset to the restaurant! Highly recommend visiting this place!

Excellent breakfast with generous portions and high quality food. This location is just off Hwy 72 and is attached to the lodge store and museum. Super clean with fast and attentive service combined with great food and decent prices makes a good combination. This location has been open less than a year, try it if you’re in the area.

One of the best places where we stopped for eat in US. We love to discover typical southern cuisine and place has everything, great coffee, amazing food and super kind staff… I had “breakfast crumble” and my wife had “flapjacks” and both were amazing. We really recommend this place and definitely it eas not for the last time we were there…
