Great Food & Drinks Plus History Too! - Not only did we get to enjoy a variety of foods and drinks but learned some Chattanooga history too. Hadynn was a very knowledgeable and interesting tour guide. Can’t go wrong going on this tour.

Fantastic Tour! - It was just me and my husband on the tour, so were lucky enough to get what amounted to a private tour hosted by Chatt Taste owner Briana. She was friendly & knowledgeable and we had an amazing time. The stops were all very different with generous portions and welcoming venue owners/staff. We particularly enjoyed the Taqueria and the Common House. We will definitely be back for another tour next time we are in Chattanooga. Highly recommend!

10 out of 10! Passionate informed tour guides and wonderful stops. Would definitely take this tour again. - If I could give this review 10 stars I would. This was one of the most exceptional food tours we have ever been on, and we make it a point to have a food tour in most cities where we travel. Even internationally! 10 out of 10 for our guides. They were passionate ambassadors of their city. Although I loved all of the stops, it was really the guides that made this tour exquisite! Fun, informative, pleasant, interesting, sweet, the list goes on and on. If we moved to Chattanooga, we would seek these two out as friends. Their passion for their city was clear and they were very well informed. All of the food stops were great. The choice to begin at Taqueria Jalisco was excellent. A couple of tacos in our belly was a perfect start to the day. My favorite stop has to be Main Street meats though. I wrote a separate review for that restaurant, even though we just stopped in for a short amount of time. If you are looking to change up your tour at all, please do not neglect to stop at Main Street meats. The frozen whiskey sour and the mini charcuterie board were such a delightful experience that I wish we had taken the tour earlier on our trip so that we could revisit Main Street meats. The common house was also delightful. I understand that is not always part of the tour. It would be wonderful to have that as a permanent addition as well. History is fabulous, and it is a beautiful building. But kudos to our guides! If we are back in Chattanooga, we would love to look them up and take another tour, and request them again. You have a wonderful team there. They also spoke highly about the management of the tour company. That is always great to hear. Satisfied, happy employees with a company that treats them with respect. Nothing but great applause for the entire operation. Cheers! P.s. so many great photos to choose from, but I will choose this one that showcases all four of us at Main Street meats.

Amazing food tour of Southside Chattanooga with Chatt Taste Food Tours! - This was our second food tour with Chatt Taste and we are already planning our next one. The food was amazing but our tour guide Keith made the experience even more special!!! Each restaurant we visited gave us hearty portions that were all delicious! It was difficult to choose a favorite but the tacos at Taqueria Jalisco were superb! | highly recommend taking a tour with Keith at Chatt Taste. He made us feel like we were enjoying a tour with a great friend! Book the tour!!! You will not be disappointed!

Great experience! - From top to bottom, this was an amazing experience! Our real estate team appreciated the attention to detail (from booking the tour on their website to the great customer service in between, to the actual food tour), especially with accommodating food and drink preferences! Our host, Haydynn, was an exceptional and gracious tour guide and we enjoyed all of the restaurants along the way, as well as learning a little history as we walked. We will be booking another food tour in the future and would highly recommend this tour as a way to get to know great local restaurants in Chattanooga!

Birthday Tour - Outside of not knowing the area was having a parade and it being rainy…the tour was nice and our guide Hayden was amazing. I was under the impression we would visit five places as that’s what the description stated and we only went to three other than that my friends and I had a great time.

Great way to have lunch! - Our guide, Briana, was a cheerful font of knowledge about the Southside and of Chattanooga. She deftly steered us through some unique restaurants and food areas that we never would have navigated on our own. The food and beverage samplings were delicious, especially the tacos at Taqueria Jalisco ANIA. We felt that this was a fun way to spend an extended lunch hour and would recommend it to anyone. We didn’t need to eat another thing the rest of the day! The reason we gave this tour just 4 stars was due to having burgers and fries at two locations. Perhaps giving the chef at the final restaurant a heads up as to what we’d eaten already would have alleviated this.
