Reviews

Ms.
Lois has been around for many years.
She even had Lois lounge years ago on 9th street ( hay days).
She's been at this location for 30 years.
She has the best and cleanest chitterlings in the city and the price is worth it.
The dressing is to die for.
When I worked in that area I was there 2 or 3 times a week.
I love our long talks.
I never wanted to go home to eat my dinner I sat right there and enjoyed the conversation.
She always has a smile that lights up the room.
She makes you feel the love from her and the food she prepares with her hands. We as a city need to support her more.
GO GET YOUR REAL SOUTHERN COOKING ASAP.


When you can go get a home cooked GOOD MEAL and get prayed for at the same time.
You will not find a more kind human.
She cooks EVERYDAY!!!! I have been going here for 40 years (yes 40) and I have NEVER had a bad meal the slaw alone with change you! Two things you will see a note book and a bible on her counter.
Love this lady!


Lois Lounge is the best soul food in Chattanooga.
Ms.
Lois is so kind and sweet and she always makes us feel at home when we come to pick up food.
Definitely a Chattanooga favorite! Continued blessings!
