We have been wanting to try this place for about a year and finally went. It's a really fun place and great atmosphere! Go early, it's small. The standard egg breakfast options are good, but get the pancakes, they are awesome! Will definitely go back!

This is an awesome spot that we discovered in Chattanooga, TN. It’s a little off of the beaten path but definitely worth checking out. It’s got a great Punk theme that made me feel right at home. The food is so good! I had the shrimp and grits and they were so filling and delicious. My friend had some of the thickest pancakes I’ve ever seen and said they were really good. The service was top notch. The waiter was very nice and attentive. I’d highly recommend this spot!

First time in and we were very impressed! Our server Samuel was polished and knowledgeable of the menu and made some great recommendations! We got The Jabber omelette and the Cajun style shrimp and grits. We also tried the pancakes and those were AMAZING. Definitely check out this hidden gem tucked away in Chattanooga.

As amazing as the food and service is, if you were a child of the 80’s you must experience the atmosphere here! There are so many layers of detail it is the best kind of sensory trip back in time. Plus, the pancakes are about 3/4 inches thick and very fluffy. They even have their own beer!

Tried a quirky and quaint place for breakfast today. Have heard great things about this local eatery. Ordered the shrimp and cheese omelette and my wife ordered the sod buster omelette. The service was excellent, the food was hot and the coffee was on the money. Outdoor dining on the wrap around porch. Located in a quiet part of old town Chattanooga. The eatery is really geared for smaller crowds since it’s in a former home. I suggest getting there early since it fills up fast and the wait times can be up to an hour or more. Our wait time, for 2 people, was 12 minutes. If you are tired of eating at the same old restaurant chains, try this place out. They offer some unique dishes and southern cooking. It’s just a nice place with honest food.
