Tired of searching for a place to eat that pleases everyone in the family? Have picky kids? We've found the perfect place! Newk's Eatery is located off of Shallowford Road behind Embassy Suites/Ruth's Chris. You are greeted immediately when you walk in and everyone is friendly and very helpful. They have a condiment bar for all your salad and sandwich needs. The kitchen is open with a counter and chairs so that you can sit and watch your food being made. We ordered one of everything on the menu except for dessert since we were too full after all that food. We ordered the Ultimate Salad. It has sliced flame-grilled chicken breast, diced smoked ham, diced oven-roasted turkey, mixed greens, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, aged cheddar cheese, house made croutons and made from scratch honey mustard dressing. Everything is tossed together then put in a bowl. This salad was the best that I've had in a long time! It's fresh, light and clean tasting. It will be perfect on a hot,...

I have to start out by saying that The Chattanooga Times Free Press tends to hype up new restaurants in the area. They order one entrée and only that. We order multiple things so you will know what items on the menu are good and which ones aren't. What we observed was that there were a lot of older people in the restaurant and I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but, it does explain a lot about how they cook their food. Hardly anything is seasoned properly and therefore tastes plain. We decided for appetizers, or small plates, we would get the crab cakes, notice the s on the end of that. We were very disappointed to find that it was only one crab cake for $10! Really?! And I know what some of you are thinking, "Well, if it was $10 it had to be HUGE and the best you've had, right? Wrong! It was just your normal tasting crab cake and it was moist, I mean, don't get me wrong, it was good, just not what we were expecting for $10. We also ordered the Pizza Rockefe...

Chattanooga's newest bar restaurant is located in front of the new Publix off of Shallowford Road Please note that if you go after 10 on Saturday night that there is a dress code. I read it on the back of the sign that says to seat yourself as we were leaving but, I didn't catch what the whole dress code was and after looking on the website I couldn't find it. Now, as I mentioned before, its a seat yourself. It was the second day after opening that we went and they are obviously still working out the kinks. We are not a big fan of restaurants that have the sign that says "please seat yourself", to us it just seems impersonal. All the servers seemed to be walking around getting everyone's drinks, which is fine, but, it just didn't seem organized. Now, I know you may think that I am complaining a lot and none of this so far has anything to do with food but, I figured I would go all out since this is a new restaurant. For appetizer, we ordered the BLT Tots. ...
