Puleo's Grille Ooltewah, Tn

Puleo's Grille is an Italian restaurant with a southern flair. Their menu seems a bit too big, with its endless varieties of seafood, burgers, steaks, and obviously Italian. On this visit, we ordered the fried green tomatoes. 
They have great flavor and weren't too mushy and not too firm. 5 come on a plate, they are sitting on a scoop of their grits and 2 different gravies are separated by the grits. I have to be honest, I am not a fan of the tasso gravy and the other gravy isn't the best. They do put the grits and tasso gravy on a lot of their dishes. I could eat the grits all day as they are some of the best I've had. For entree, I ordered the Seafood Ravioli.
The lobster got lost in the Ravioli in the sauce that covered the plate. The scoop of grits wasn't as big on my plate as there was on the appetizer plate. I did have to use the grits to soak up the sauce, which is why I thought there wasn't enough grits. The shrimp was ok as it took the flavor of the sauce. My fiancee ordered the Chicken Parmesan. 
There was too much tomato sauce on the pasta. The piece of fried chicken breast was burnt on the edges. He didn't have much to say about his meal which usually that he didn't like it that much. For dessert, we ordered a half slice of chocolate hazelnut mousse cake.
It was very light and was my favorite out of the 2 that we ordered. It had a nice taste, but, that's all I really have to say about it. Nothing great, just chocolate mousse with an oreo type crust. We also ordered the chocolate lasagna.
The cake and filling were better than the honey that was drizzled all over it. The honey gave the cake a funny taste that made the cake taste well, funny. Honestly, I don't think we will be coming back unless it's a last resort.

Cuppoki-Mall of Georgia

If you can't wait until a similar place like this opens in Chattanooga, head down to Kennesaw, Ga to the Mall of Georgia for the best poki bowls and ramen without paying a small fortune to fly to Hawaii. We chose the build your own poki bowl. You start by choosing either white or brown rice, spring mix, or half and half. Next, comes the protein. They have a good variety of raw salmon, tuna, spicy tuna, or cooked octopus, scallop or shrimp. Then, you pick up to 5 toppings which includes cheese, red onion, corn, green onion, cucumbers and more. They have these cool lightbulb shaped cups that light up and of course we had to each get one!  They have different flavors of drinks including mango, peach, strawberry, and pomegranate complete with the flavor beads inside. I had never had a poki bowl and I was excited to try it on our honeymoon as we are going to Hawaii. Now, we don't have to go all the way to Hawaii for a VERY delicious poki bowl! And if you can't tell, th...

Ooltewah's newest restaurant has soul

Image
Davis Wayne's is located in Cambridge Square in the old Cuban restaurant location. They opened back in October and honestly I wish I would've known about this place before now. Everyone is friendly and that makes you want to come back. Food is very good. The Pork Tenderloin is very good, not too spicy. The mac and cheese is off the chain, very cheesy! The greens are seasoned perfectly, which is hard to find in a restaurant. The broccoli is al dente and also perfectly seasoned and covered in real cheese. You can tell its not cheap, processed cheese. The fried corn is buttery and also seasoned right. The sweet potato casserole is good and is torched on top. Chicken is so tender not even a butter knife is needed to cut it, juicy and flavorful. The cornbread is great! Menu style is different. Now, the desserts are made from scratch every day. The chocolate cake melts in your mouth and doesn't stick to the roof of your mouth. We highly recommend this place if you...

Mike's Tavern

Mike's Tavern is located at 5211 HWY 153 in Hixson behind California Tortilla and across the street from Smoothie King. We were immediately greeted by the hostess and seated. The waitress wasn't too far behind getting our drink order. For our appetizer, we ordered the Ahi Tuna over a bed of wasabi slaw. The tuna was so tender and so fresh it tasted like steak. Fish is slowly growing on me, guys. For entrees, I ordered Shrimp and Grits. Blackened jumbo shrimp served over pepper jack grits and finished with andouille cream sauce. The grits were so creamy it melted in your mouth and the shrimp had excellent flavor and wasn't too spicy. My fiance ordered the Grouper sandwich with Southern Slaw as the side. The sandwich had great flavor and is the best in town. The slaw has the perfect balance of vinegar and mayo. It's almost dry but, that's not a bad thing since you can actually taste everything. For dessert, we ordered the apple cinnamon bread pudding. It ...
