We are a small family owned business with only 5 tables inside and 2 out side. We try to make you fill like you are with friends.

My husband, his cousin, and I went to the Aquarium and then chose this restaurant due to its #7 rating on Trip Advisor. Disappointed in the decor (hole in tablecloth) and very cramped. My husband ordered the Saturday Special (catfish) which was very good, and his Cousin ordered a pork plate, which was good. I ordered the Spare Ribs (large order) and they were over-cooked and hard. Had to ask twice for drink refills, and twice for a to-go cup. Could not for the life of me, figure out how this restaurant received the rating that it did!

This place is good for many things-meeting friends, families, lunch dates, etc. Even have the perfect area for parties, showers, and rehearsal dinners. The loaded pork potatoe is my favorite-I get that every time. I also like their wings and ribs. They treat you like family and make you feel welcome every time you come. Also, the restaurant is always wonderfully decorated for the season

3. The Purple Daisy Picnic Cafe

A cozy little BBQ restaurant next to the incline railway at the foot of Lookout Mountain.
Reviewed By Penny W
We're always interested in trying out true local restaurants to get the homestyle food appreciated by local residents. We had read about the Purple Daisy and happened to pass it when we were in Chattanooga so we decided to stop for lunch. We didn't realize that "picnic" actually meant the restaurant would be serving the food on paper plates with plastic cutlery! There were no seats inside so we ate outside and there is no ambience in either place. But those points can be passed over if the food in a restaurant is really good. However, the barbecue pork sandwiches--their specialty-- were rather dry, without sauce, because the idea was to add sauce from bottles at the table. The banana pudding was raved about so we tried that, and were glad that we did, because we can give that a positive rating. It was very tasty and some of the best we've had.

Driving through on the interstate and decided to stop and try it out. Coworker had a brisket sandwich and enjoyed it. I had a BLT which consisted of smoked bacon, lettuce, toasted sourdough, and fried green tomato. It also came with Thatcher Sauce but I got that on the side. Itâs more of a BBQ type ranch dipping sauce. Could be good dipping fries and such but I wasnât feeling it on my sandwich. The BLT was otherwise delicious! Would definitely stop again if Iâm in the area.

First time to this new place. The food was good, and it was reasonable. I got the sampler which had ribs, bbq, and chicken. We shared and had plenty. Comes with two sides and hush puppies. A friend got the loaded potato, and said it was good. You place your order and get your food before being seated. Will be back.Dear conk2013, Thank you for your kind words about Buddy's bar-b-q. It is always a great pleasure to hear about new customers like yourself discovering us. We are committed to providing great quality and flavors that you will enjoy and hopefully keep you coming back. We look forward to serving you again soon.Gratefully, Buddy's bar-b-q
