The 7 Best Restaurants In Downtown Chattanooga

What is it: Thanks to the Volkswagen plant that opened in 2011, there are quite a few German immigrants living in Chattanooga these days, which means that some exciting new German restaurants have sprouted up. The most beloved is Brewhaus, a casual German-American gastropub where you can usually catch a soccer game on one of the many TVs while enjoying a cold hefeweizen on draft and your choice of schnitzel, spaetzle and brats.

We were drawn by the beauty of the building to the Naked River Brewing Company This pub where they serve food and beer is located next to the First Tennessee Pavilion (which is home to the seasonal Chattanooga Market , a local food and art market that runs every Sunday, May-November each year).

Order the best dinner in Chattanooga with a plate of the roasted spatchcock chicken served with red sour cherries.
