Cafe on the Corner

Cafe on the Corner is a restaurant located atop of scenic Lookout Mountain. If you haven't been there before it can be easy to miss (I drove right past it). If you pass the post office you've gone too far and even that's easy to miss. It is a perfect spot for a romantic date, they have a fireplace and candles on the tables that set the mood, you can also have your birthday party, rehearsal dinner, meetings, etc. For appetizer, we ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes. These are some of the best we have had! They were crunchy on the outside and not too mushy or hard on the inside. There was no need for the sauce but, the other toppings made it taste good.
For entrée, I ordered the shrimp and grits. The grits were creamy and had a coconut taste to them. Together with the sauce it had a great flavor! The shrimp was cooked perfect and had the flavor of the sauce.
My fiancée ordered the Cafe Mac. This is grilled chicken, Benton's bacon, smoked gouda, cheddar, and jack cheeses, and cream sauce over penne pasta. This dish had good flavor, everything was well incorporated. Pasta is usually heavy but, this dish isn't.
Of course, we had to try their homemade Apple Gallet. Baked apple gallet with cinnamon ice cream. If you order this you might not want to share, its basically apple pie with cinnamon ice cream on top. The cinnamon ice cream isn't too strong like I thought it would be.
We will definitely be back because we have our eye on the Mountain Burger, which looked HUGE when they brought it out to someone. They are also in the process of changing their menu for the season, I assume, and I can't wait to see what new dishes they come up with!

Cuppoki-Mall of Georgia

Image
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

Image
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 ...
