It was strange to drive up to the hotel to find this place. My son was saying this seems weird. But then we went in and noticed the bustling atmosphere. The decor was kinda cool and the dessert display quite big. We ordered some really good home cooking. The meals were big. So, the food was a pleasant surprise and... More

If you are going to be in the E. Brainerd area, I highly recommend this one. They give large portions at a great price. We will definitely go back when we are up there in the future.

We went to city cafe diner on the recommendation of travel advisor reviews. We were not disappointed. It was oddly placed on the end of a moderate hotel, but easy to park and easy to transgress. We grabbed a chair and saw locals there with families even at that early hour of 0700. The cafe is open 24 hrs, by... More

My sister and I ate here on our way to Nashville. I had read all the reviews and decided this would be a wonderful stop. The menu was great, service friendly and fast. We had the chicken salad wrap. It came with one side which I chose the black beans, it also came with slaw and soup of the day.... More

Don't let the name "Diner" fool you. City Cafe Diner is open 24 hours and has over 400 items on their menu. Everything from eggs & bacon to a huge T-Bone, as well as, desserts to die for. We had breakfast one morning and dinner another on our short vacation. Service was great to match the prices. Food came quick... More

This little café at the Best Western Inn on Lee Highway is a great find for travelers and for Chattanoogans alike. (There is another City Café Diner at the Days Inn on MLK in downtown Chattanooga as well - just as good.) Both of these restaurants excel in both food qualify and quantity, as well as top-notch service. They are... More

This place is a hidden favorite among chattanooga locals. City cafe is excellent with one of the biggest varieties of food you can imagine. One of the only places you can find Veal, a french dip and nachos on the same page and they all taste equally amazing. Don't get me started on desserts, those alone will make the entire... More

We have to echo what others have said. The food was great and the portions are gynormous. Hubby had big stroganoff and I had the combination Greek platter. We left half on our plates.

This restaurant is open 24 hours a day and is about a block off of I-75. Their slogan is "Good food and a lot of it" and they truly live up to it. The biggest and best dessert selection in Chattanooga. Extensive menu and everything is good. Wait staff is efficient and pleasant. We highly recommend this restaurant and promise... More

Wow, was all we could say after eating at the City Cafe Diner. I'm pretty sure we left with as much food as we ate! We ordered the Chicken/Shrimp/Steak Fajitas while the kids got the "kids" spaghetti and chicken fingers. Needless to say there was enough food delivered to our table to feed 8 people. And, all of it was... More
