Review by Ethelyn Larson

1885 Grill is a charming gem in Chattanooga! 🌊 The vibe is casual yet trendy, perfect for families or a solo outing.

I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes - hands down the best I've ever tasted!

The mushroom and grits (Skeeter style) was phenomenal, and don't skip the pecan pie bread pudding; it’s divine. 🍰

Service was friendly and fast, despite being a bit busy. The outdoor seating adds to the lovely atmosphere. Definitely plan a visit if you’re in the area... you won't regret it!
