“ The ambiance, service, staff, atmosphere, drinks, and food and are all outstanding. Do not ask for salt/pepper because the dishes are already perfectly seasoned and you do not need to habitually add additional. While I just went for my first time after being referred by a work colleague, I will be returning and certainly recommend this dining establishment. ”

Fresh greens were well seasoned. .... Super attentive and friendly service ... Cool vibe with live music the night we went. ”

“ Dinner here consisted of soul food, live music by DLY2 and great vibes. I absolutely loved the chill and laid back vibes here. Live music is always a sure way to make a dinner outing better. The restaurant really truly reminded me of a family hangout. My food was that if a Sunday dinner and I really loved it all. The staff felt so familiar despite it being my first visit. Service was amazing. I would visit again whenever I'm in town again. ”

“ This is a beautiful black owned restaurant in Chattanooga! The food is service is top tier. Most importantly, the live music sets the tone for the perfect t evening! They are only opened for dinner ”

“ Food was absolutely divine! The service was impeccable. Loved the ambiance! Great place to eat if you want soul food with a twist!! ”

“ A real upscale soul food restaurant MEAT + sides all cooked in house with love Fabulous decor not often associated with this type of cuisine Friendly, attentive service My Smothered Pork Chop was great, sides of mashed potatoes, green beans, brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes were excellent Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, and you won't be disappointed ”

“ I went at the recommendation of someone. I was told they have a tradition of taking a photo of all new comers. I thought it was cool. Plus heard it was good soul food. It was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. They also have live music on the weekends. Since, I don't eat beef or pork and allergic to fish, I ordered baked chicken and sides. I got greens, fried corn, Mac and cheese, and dressing. It also came with cornbread. Overall the food was good. The baked chicken wasn't super seasoned just a piece of baked chicken. The sides were all good. Really enjoyed the flavor. Also got this cake that was really good. Nice family business which has the family feel. People friendly. Music was good. My only disappointment is I didn't get a photo. I follow their page and everyone else that was with me was spotlighted that night as newcomers. No one mentioned to me about a photos. ”

“ I had the absolute please of checking out this restaurant on a Friday evening. I discovered this place from a tik Tok video sent to me advising of must try places in Chattanoga TN. This restaurant is located in Cambridge Square in Ooltewah, Tennessee. Davis Wayne's has a prime location on a corner in the square. I am not sure if the restaurant takes reservations, but we walked in and had no problem being seated within a few minutes. We were seated at a table next to the most lovely couple. We talked with them about he food. They raved about the chocolate covered strawberries and even had two sent to our table so we could try them. This is an example of the family like environment present at this restaurant! Not only are the staff a pleasure, but so are the patrons! It appears that all staff do all jobs. While we did have a wait staff, everyone chipped in to help. If someone noticed that my glass was empty they filled it up! It was refreshing to see staff that actually take pride in what they do. Regarding the food: I tried the wings with a side of Brussels sprouts and fried corn. My date had the salmon with Mac and cheese and potatoes and onions. All meals come with corn bread. The wings and salmon were amazing! I would order both again. My Brussels sprouts were cooked to perfection, and they are my favorite side item. Overall I enjoyed my meal. Some things to note: they don't deep fry any of the food, they also do not cook the vegetables in pork! This is a big deal for me since I am not a red meat eater. Now let's talk about those strawberries that a guest ordered for us! Oh my gosh- when I tell you it was the best chocolate covered strawberry I have ever tasted. The strawberry itself was so big and full of flavor. Adding the amazing chocolate to it only elevated the taste! You have to try these when you visit! They are dipped in house daily! This was hands down one of the best dinning out experiences I have had in a long time. It was refreshing to walk into a restaurant and feel like you have known the staff for decades. Not only are they personable, but they also pride themselves on providing recommendable customer service. I highly recommend checking this spot out if you are in the area! ”
