Chatter Box Cafe

We made the pilgrimage from FT. Myers Florida today for lunch and it did not disappoint. We could smell the BBQ from a mile away. Great service and an eclectic collection of smokers. We look forward to coming back. Oh should probably mention the food was amazing. It’s a Chattanooga Gem. Ash & Rebecca,

Nice people. Food isn’t very good. Tried basically everything on the menu. Had high hopes. Ribs: 2/10 - yank off the bone, dry, flavorless Smoked chicken: 2/10 - no flavor Pulled pork: 4/10 - dry, no flavor Brisket: 2/10 - dry, overcooked, no flavor Mac: 5/10 - no comment Potato salad: 2/10 - no comment Beans: 7/10 - almost dipped the meat in it BBQ sauce: probably fine if you like sweet.

I finally stopped to try this place out. Ordered the Brisket plate with baked beans and fried okra. Hands down some of the best brisket I’ve ever had. It was so tender and moist that I never used the sweet sauce that came with it. Loved the baked beans and fried okra. The plate is huge and well worth every penny.

I was skeptical having visited on a Tuesday and finding them closed and then reading some less than favorable reviews. Yes, the prices are higher than other places, but the quality of the food is much better. I got a pork platter with honey & apple slaw and French fries. The pork is extremely moist and seasoned well, but not flooded with too much smoke. The fries are fresh cut and excellent. The slaw is better than most that I've had. Make sure you order outside on the patio, as I was scolded when I tried to go in an unlocked door which did not have a sign telling me to stay out. Hours are a bit odd, as they are open Wednesday through Saturday. You should definitely treat yourself at least once - you'll likely go back...

Plenty of food, however the meat was dry and tasteless, the beans tasted terrible, I threw them out after 1 bite and I didn't like the BBQ sauce at all. They were out of a few things and we were told that the "boss" was trying to cut back on sauce. We were really looking forward to trying the food here after seeing it on TV. No thank you, we won't be back and will continue to eat the best ribs and BBQ at ChooChoo BBQ in Harrison. They have a great variety of tasty sauces.

I'm embarrassed to say but I have live in Chattanooga going on 17 years and this is the first time eating here. Big mistake that will not be repeated! This is 5 stars all the way. The service was southern hospitality at it's best and the BBQ hands down the best I have had! If you haven't had BBQ here then you need too. Don't make my mistake! Perfect service and BBQ that's just plain awesome! Thanks...I will be back!!
