We recently asked you where to find the best brunch in Chattanooga, and y’all responded like you thought we’d never ask. 🙌

It made some of us wonder how we ever sit around and say, “Where should we get brunch?”

Maybe the best part of the responses was the variety. There wasn’t a single stand out, although there were several that got more comments than others. And you all suggested more than 30 different restaurants as your favorite local brunch spot. Not bad, Chattanooga. Not bad.

Here are the six spots that got the most mentions from readers.

  • Foodworks | 205 Manufacturers Rd. | Menu
  • First Watch | 300 Cherokee Blvd. | Menu
  • The Big Chill | 103 Cherokee Blvd. | Menu
  • Stir | 1444 Market St. | Menu
  • The Daily Ration | 1220 Dartmouth St. | Menu
  • Bluegrass Grill | 55 E. Main St. | Menu
