“Great unique place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2012

If you love finding great dive bars with their own unique personas - this is right up your alley especially if you are looking for the Rick James. Retro velvet wallpaper, leather coaches, dim lighting. As said before 1/2 fried chicken is great.

“OFF THE CHAIN!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

I went late night... the place is so retro, I felt like I was on the set of a Tarantino movie. Delicious fried chicken, at a super-low price, and the mixed drinks were stiff as hell! What a spot. Truly one of Chattanooga's hidden treasures.

Simply put, it is the best Fried Chicken ever, anywhere. I love the 70s black velvet wallpaper. Be careful, the drinks are strong.
