Great Breakfast Buffets but there is a cook there that will fix any style of eggs for you, Dinners exceptional. I had a 3 meat dinner and one of the meats was Duck Breast. I found the Duck Breast to be rather tough. Someone came around asking for our opinion on what we ate and took our review seriously and even commented he found the same thing himself. My husband suggested that it be sliced, that this would improve on its tenderness. I believe that this may be tried the next time, they serve it.

If you find yourself staying at the Chattanoogan, congratulations, you're in a great spot to walk to the Choo-Choo, southside, and even the riverfront and aquarium...but please... please... Don't eat here and judge the chattanooga food scene off the results! It's not that it's aweful, it's just that there are many great options nearby like... Urban Stack Terminal Brewpub St Johns Public House Niko's Southside Alleia You get the idea... enjoy Chattanooga, not the hotel restaurant!

Not a buffet fan - actually I would say I hate buffets. This place is my only exception. The food is fresh and flavorful. They offer several selections - they had italian beef, chicken in a tomato sauce among others. They also offer a salad bar - not like a Ruby Tuesday salad bar, but quality, prepared salads.

I really like the Broad Street Grille. It's located in The Chattanoogan hotel and offers breakfast buffet, Sunday brunch, lunch and dinner! The first time I ate here was for dinner on a Friday night. It was steak night! It was absolutely delicious! A little bit on the pricier end, but well worth it! I got the porterhouse steak with whipped potatoes and grilled asparagus topped with a delicious, peppery sauce. Everything was so full of flavor! YUM! My husband and myself also came here for the breakfast buffet on the same Saturday and Sunday morning we were in town. Since we were staying at the hotel, the hotel offers a special discount for its customers. So, we were given passes, which we had purchased previously and just walked down between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m. The breakfast buffet offers your breakfast classics. Scrambled eggs, pancakes, hot maple syrup, potatoes, grits, muffins, cereal, yogurt and fresh fruit. The restaurant is so clean and organized. The staff is super friendly and professional. Our server we had for dinner, gave us a heads up of awesome night time ventures and local restaurants that he enjoyed. And we also had then the second server we had , we had for both of our breakfasts. He had the greatest memory! He remembered us right away when he saw our faces the second morning. Highly recommend dropping in on the Broad Street Grille whether you are staying at The Chattanoogan or not!

I've only had the breakfast here during the week when I travel for work. The Chattanoogan is my favorite hotel in town for work travel, and one reason is this breakfast. They have a wide variety of things to suit any mood or health choice. It's a good balance between fancy and efficient. No styrofoam in sight. They will cook eggs to order if you ask. You get the experience of a nice meal on real plates (suitable for breakfast meeting) with the quickness you sometimes need on your way to work. The staff is a bit unsophisticated.

I've been here a couple of times for Sunday brunch and I can say I really enjoyed it, every time. It does have a hotel atmosphere but that's not always a bad thing. The food is delicious and lots of great choices. Free flowing champagne doesn't hurt either.

Best buffet for the $ in Chattanooga. Good for a business lunch because it's quite. Easy to get to and parking is usually fairly adequate considering the location. Great quality considering how fast you can be in and out also. Of course the selling point to most is the fact you can eat a greatest and as much as you want for under 15.00. Menu usually changes daily and Sundays are the best!

While trying to be a higher end restaurant, it failed miserably. Food was cold, overcooked, creme brulee was runny, goat cheese salad was missing goat cheese, you get the idea. Service was good and attentive and they took a couple of things off the check to make up for it, but wished I'd gone to St. John's.
Not overly impressed overall. Not sure if it's because it was Christmas Eve, or if this is how things are all the time. We ordered the duck and the swordfish. We also ordered a bottle of wine. The duck was tender, but the sauce that it was smothered in was so salty, you couldn't really taste the meat. The swordfish was dry and cold in the middle. It was supposed to come with an arugula salad, but instead was plated on thinly sliced beets. There was no sauce and very little flavor. Rice or potato would have been nice. The white wine was served to us at room temperature, so I had to add ice cubes to my glass. The one highlight was the flourless chocolate cake which was delicious. All in all, very disappointing since we paid over $20 a plate. The server was nice, but slightly inattentive, probably due to understaffing. I would have pointed out the issues, but he was too busy. I'm not sure I would return or recommend.
We had the most horrible lunch experience here. We got there around 12:30PM for lunch. An hour after placing the orders, we were getting restless. The waiter was nice enough to bring over some rolls "to hold us over since we have children." The rolls were ice cold and stale. Another 30 minutes went by when all the food came out. My husband ordered the blackened grouper sandwich which was so scary looking that he prodded his food before giving up on it. The grouper was questionable in that other than being blackened, the fish flaked apart and is greyish, brownish looking, not white. It was so fishy that he almost threw up! The side of fruit was beautiful looking until we started eating it. Between the blackberries and raspberries, there were white web looking molds. I cannot remember the last time I had such terrible meal experience. We were so mad yet felt so bad for the waiter for working in such a poor establishment that we still tipped him average. It's not his fault that the kitchen was so inept. Vacationing from Tampa, FL Visited December 2013

I'm not a fan nor am I an advocate of buffet style dining. I have to make an exception for BSG. This was easily the best breakfast buffet I've had in a long time. We were here for Sunday Brunch (starts late...11 AM) and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety of selections. It was well presented and the beverage/table clearing service was expedient. To have the best selection and avoid lines, get there when they open---it gets crowded quickly and the selections can start to wane within the first hour of service. Better than expected.

We stayed at the Chattanoogan Hotel which is where the B.S. Grille is located. The atmosphere was acceptable, but the tables were a little too close together. Liked the fact that the chef decided to use farm to table using local farmers markets to procure their ingredients. There is a nightly changing 3 course meal that we decided to try. We had oyster mushroom risotto which was fantastic, scallops on top of cauliflower puree and paprika oil, and lamb chops and tuna atop wilted spinach for entrees that were both excellently cooked. Our waiter was somewhat attentive, but was absent during much of the meal. Excellent food, spotty service makes this a luke warm recommendation

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I decided to try this place after getting a steep discount. Even at over 50% off, it was NOT worth it. We went in on a slow night; there were only 3 tables seated when we got there. Even so, it took over an hour for us to place our order, and over another hour for us to get our food. When the food finally arrived, the salads were warm and wilted and the hot food was cold and hard. Absolutely disgusting for everyone at the table. When we complained to the management, instead of trying to fix the problem, they avoided us for the rest of the evening. If you have to choose between Broad Street Grille and McDonald's, believe me--you'll be happier with McDonald's. The food will get to you on time, and it'll probably at least be close to the right temperature.

It's hard to know where the other reviewers are coming from. The food is excellent, and at least as important -- the wait staff are truly exceptional. I especially appreciate that the menu features ingredients from local purveyors of fine foods. To me, the difficulty I have is in that CHA is a great food town. But while here, I don't want to try any other place.

BSG has a wonderful contemporary decor. The service was prompt but that is the end of the nice things I have to say about it. We ordered the cheese plate to start. The types of cheese on the plate change twice before it arrived at our table and then when it arrived, we were informed it changed again. The menu stated it would be served with nuts, honeycomb and cranberry pecan bread. Well, we got the cranberry pecan bread. The cheese were very ordinary. I could have bought them at Publix myself. I had the shrimp and grits. The grits were tasteless and it looks like they just poured heavy cream on top of them. The menu said they would be served with collards. Instead it was topped with arugula. My husband had the pasta of the day which was suppose to be a spinach-goat cheese stuffed ravoli with tasso ham sauce. There was no evidence of spinach in the ravoli and the ravoli was one BIG blog, all stuck together. The sauce had a funny taste to it which I dismissed, but within 30 mins of leaving the restaurant, my husband had an upset stomach. I'll just leave it at that. I would definitely NOT recommend this restaurant.

With some friends in town for the weekend, we decided to check out Broad Street Grille's Sunday Brunch. They do a Champagne brunch on Sundays where you get their all you can eat buffet and unlimited mimosas and poinsettias (which are included in the price). They also advertise a Bloody Mary Bar... but that wasn't available the day we went (and it costs extra). My first thought as we walked in the door was that it was a typical upscale hotel restaurant. The decor wasn't anything too exceptional and I felt like I was in a hotel restaurant. That being said, the fixtures were all very nice and in great repair. The carpet looked clean and the buffet set up was spectacular. There were a lot of people there when we arrived and I could see a whole lot of food just waiting to be eaten. Our server was a friendly guy. He took our drink orders and informed us about the Bloody Mary Bar situation (he made the Bloody Mary drinks). When the Mimosas came around, I could tell they were poured with a heavy hand... which was good, but unusual for a "unlimited" situation. Soon, we headed over for the food. There they had a couple of very good looking pre-assembled salads, or you could make your own. All the ingredients were right there. I took some of the Caesar salad and they had a very good smelling Blintz with strawberry sauce. I took one of those too, along with some crackers and cheese from the same table. Boy, was that Blintz (and the salad) good! Round two consisted of the breakfast foods... Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy and some heavenly French toast. They also had a poached egg on ham and fried green tomato... and a waffle station. And that's all that I sampled! There was plenty more for breakfast and I didn't even have room for the lunch! Lunch included a braised pork shoulder, chicken, and a chef-manned carving station. I don't even remember what he was carving! If fresh fruit is more your cup of tea, they had plenty of that too... and then there was the desserts. A whole table dedicated to desserts. Chocolate cakes, fudge, cheesecakes, carrot cakes, and more. I enjoyed every bite of this smorgasbord. I really wanted to go back for another round, but just couldn't put another bite away. I really enjoyed all of the food here. I really couldn't go five stars without at least trying some of the dinner food... maybe next time. My only complaint? The server didn't come around often enough to refill the drinks (not even the water). Also, they advertise an omelet station, but I didn't see it.... maybe I missed it... but I was disappointed. I love omelets. If you haven't tried the Sunday Champagne Brunch, I'd highly suggest it. You don't know what you're missing.

This was our first visit to this restaurant. We had dinner there so this only rates the dinner experience. It is an open, casual style atmosphere. My hubby had Ahi Tuna and I had salmon over spinach. For $43, it tasted okay but it was nothing out of the ordinary like we had expected from this restaurant. My hubby ordered a side house salad and ate about 1/4 of it because it had a bitter taste to it. Another $6 I would not recommend spending. We had a bottle of wine which was decent at $36, which the best part of our meal. So for nearly $100 including tip, our expectations were not met. Now I will say we did have great service so kudos there. We will give the brunch a shot to rate this restaurant fairly. Will post after we do. Chattanooga downtown has better dining experiences for the same price-or less. I hate to say it but pass on dinner.

Um.... no. No no no no. God, this place is horrible. I went here with my family while we were staying at the Chattanoogan Hotel. There was some sort of festival outside and it smelled like beer, so my parents freaked out and thought they were gonna get harassed by drunk people so they decided to eat within the safe confines of our hotel. Hotel restaurants are usually weird, but this one's weirder. They really attempt at making it upscale, but the dirty cheap-hotel carpeting ruins it. Really, I noticed the bad carpeting. Who ever looks at carpets? It's that bad. I was also a little turned off because the restaurant, which was quite large and empty, had a bunch of dirty tables everywhere. It was like no one was bussing tables. Our table was surrounded by dirty ones throughout the entire meal. The waiter was strange... he asked where we were from, and when we told him Champaign, Illinois he went off on a tangent about how he used to live in France. He also told me I looked like Carmen Sandiego. We were ready to order right away, but he wanted to go get us a bread basket first. Fine. Except when he came back with the bread, we found it cold and stale. Now, I wouldn't have dissed the rest of the restaurant so badly if they had good food. But they don't. My mom and I both had the potato soup, which was runny and inedibly salty. Usually, salty = mmmmm, but this was way too much. For my main course I had mushroom-stuffed ravioli in a tomato cream sauce. It was garnished with fried leeks, but it looked craft-store straw for fall-inspired decor. Every part of the dish was oversalted- the pasta, the pasta's filling, and the sauce. So, I couldn't just pick around and look for edible parts, because there were none. Oh yeah, and the fried leeks not only looked like straw but they tasted like it, too. My dad's steak was bland and sliced potatoes were not fully cooked. If you're staying at this hotel, AVOID THIS RESTAURANT. Go outside and eat somewhere interesting. Drunk people are better than bad food.

Mediocre food, but don't mistakenly leave low percentage tip because your server will hunt you down and ask you why you did not tip better. My wife and I ate at the Broad Street Grille late one night. We were one of only three tables. For some reason we were seated right next to another group even though the entire restaurant was practically empty. We had the date night special which cost $65. It came with a bottle of wine, a starter, soup/salad, an entrée, and dessert. The food was average and our server was very prompt and courteous. At the end of the meal I thought I was satisfied overall with the food and service but...when I paid I used a gift card. Our total bill was about $90 and the gift card brought the bill down to about $40. When I left the tip on the bill I accidentally tipped based on the price that I paid instead of the overall cost of the meal. Oops! BIG MISTAKE! After using the restroom on the way out of the restaurant, our server confronted us about not leaving at least a ten percent tip. I apologized and gave him some extra to make up for my mistake, but his confrontation made me very uncomfortable (especially after I had already spent $100 on dinner and he was upset over a few bucks) and I will not be returning to the Broad Street Grille over the fear of having the same server again.

Nov 9 Sunday brunch with family for my birthday was not worth the price even if it were offered at 50 percent off. Service was extremely poor. The waiter took our drink order and that was the last we saw of him. No refills, no checking in or clearing of any dishes. The food was bland and the dishes prepared were always in small portions. Very limited entrées to choose from. The entire brunch was so disorganized from the food and services. Can't forget the 18 percent tip automatically added to the bill. It was a buffet, no orders taken, dinners not delivered. A $32 tip for 8 people, why? No service was given. Never go again, I live local
