Ruby Falls Team Restaurant Picks - Summer 2017

Contributed by Ruby Falls Staff

Chattanoogans are as passionate about food as we are SEC football and spending time outdoors.  There are lots of fantastic locally owned restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops within a couple of miles of Ruby Falls.  If you prefer something beyond the snacks at Ruby Falls Cavern Café, here are a few of our top staff picks for the summer.     

Mojo Burrito  A hometown favorite with tasty farm fresh tex-mex.  Casual, upbeat vibe with fast service– order at the counter and take a seat inside, on the patio or ask them to pack it up to go. Vegetarian and vegan-friendly, with a large kids menu, and an assortment of cool drinks, beer and desserts.  Open for lunch and dinner, less than 1 mile from Ruby Falls.  3950 Tennessee Avenue Chattanooga

Slick’s Burgers  In the mood for a burger joint?  This favorite pick has the best fries in Chattanooga along with delicious burgers and a laid back, retro atmosphere with live music most weekend evenings.  Indoor and patio seating. Tasty vegetarian options and a mix of customers that includes families, college students and professionals.  Don’t miss the truffle fries!  3.8 miles from Ruby Falls. Open for lunch and dinner.   309 Main Street Chattanooga

The Hot Chocolatier  Seriously delicious sweets made right in the shop.  Handmade chocolates, pastries, hot and cold drinks.  Tasty things for your little ones and REALLY amazing yumminess for all ages.  Put this place on your must visit list (you can thank us later!).   Eat it there or get it to go – either way, once you take a bite, you’ll be hooked. Open 11AM-8PM.  1437 Market Street Chattanooga

HillBilly Willy’s BBQ  If you are looking for authentic BBQ, follow the locals to HillBilly Willy’s.  Ribs, sandwiches, salads, sides and desserts in a casual setting; eat there or get your order to go.  Less than two miles from Ruby Falls.   Lunch and dinner. 115 Browns Ferry Road Chattanooga
