We sat at the bar and it was great! Bartenders were excellent. Delicious drinks. The margarita was perfect and the old fashioned was so good! The atmosphere is electrifying, from a food lover's pov. We enjoyed watching the open kitchen and obvious teamwork throughout the restaurant. We will definitely be back for more!

Honey, Sugafoot!! Let me say this for the people in the back HONEY! SUGAFOOT!!!Get Here!!! Get Here! As quick as you can find your way to this beautiful spot. When you come in your greeted with this beautiful patio that is ready for all seasons and it's huge so you don't have to worry about seating, because babe they got enough for all of Chattanooga and it's comfortable with a view of the walking district that has beautiful shops. Anywho when you finally reach the doors after being stunned by the outside the inside says Hey girl and What up bruh in a very chic classy grown folks way. The art work is yes please, the chandler's are popping and the cleanness of it so refreshing. But babbbbyyyy when I tell you the food, the freaking food..ight!! So boom! They give complementary house made corn tortillas and honey, sugafoot don't judge me and I want judge you I placed some after we ate in a napkin to eat on my way home they were that good, don't believe me go here and see if you can't do it. We had the most amazing dinner of the year at this place the smoked oxtail chili to the smoked beets , yes you heard me right the smoked beets and the king ranch chicken..and then and then guess what!!! The chief said send this smoked brisket enchiladas to their table..Sugafoot why he do that, my tastebuds and eyes did a dance all on their own and before you knew it, I was up from my seat and told the waitress come here, I said you go back in that kitchen and slap that chief not one time but two with one of them being a back hand and tell him to cut this $&it out, cause this to dang on good.it didn't make any sense on how good this food was and how amazing and sweet hearted our waiter was the most sweetest soul on this side and the hostess was a doll as well. Guys please do yourself a favor before the year is out and go here, let be a gift from you for you. Enjoy

This is by far one of the very best restaurants in the Chattanooga area! The brisket is omg! But really all the food was awesome! The drinks are masterfully hand crafted and wonderful! The ambiance is energetic and entertaining by the knowledgeable staff. The price? Not cheap but definitely worth every penny!

Best service ever! Our server brought me a menu all written on to outline what I could eat with my allergies. No one has ever done that before. I should have kept the menu as a souvenir. They set the bar in the best way. The food was excellent! We were a party of 8 who sat outside on the patio. Excellent lighting, music, service everything. Highly recommend this place to everyone. The brisket, ribs, yucca, so good!!! Ask for extra pickles.

Second time back here. Wasn't sure if it was going to be as good as we remembered. Somehow, it was better (didn't think that was possible). Truly one of the best meals I've ever had, definitely the best restaurant in TN. Service is always on point, the host remembered us and our server Chloe was AMAZING!! As a former bartender, I'm rarely blown away by service and she was just fantastic. can't wait to come back and be blown away again!

This was our first time visiting LC, and it was excellent. We got there about 4:30 and sat at the bar. The service was great and as soon as the kitchen opened at 5 pm our food came out immediately. The staff was friendly, attentive, and went the extra mile to make sure we had a great time. The food is a mixture of Texas barbecue with Mexican flavors and local ingredients. Everything we had was flavorful and cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back.

So, made my second trip back to LC and as the staff had shared a few weeks ago, it was a completely new menu with only one carryover item, the smoked oysters . We opted for the lamb tartare ( yes that's lamb) the frijoles with smoked pork and the chicken with sour mojo sauce and yucca. They just take smoking to an art form. The food was an absolute delight and the staff make the whole dining experience such a pleasure. All our selections were outstanding but the lamb, that was a whole different level.

My husband I recently moved back to the east coast after a few years of living in Reno Tahoe and Austin, TX, so naturally we gravitated towards Little Coyote and all its western themed goodness. The restaurant is nestled in St. Elmo with a stunning view of lookout mountain. We sat inside at the bar during our first trip, but in the summer we plan to be on the patio! We ordered a tasty margarita and an old fashioned along with a ceviche dish, brisket and side of rice! All of our main dishes came with fresh salsa and tortillas, which was perfect for making little tacos! Little Coyote is bringing the heat to Chatt and I am all here for it! The service was incredible and ambience was classy! It was elevated with a dash of smoked Wild West...and every city could use a little bit of that. The menu changes frequently, so it is definitely worth a bi-weekly or monthly visit!
