Bea's Restaurant ★ 4.3

Southern$east-chattanoogaWed-Sun 11:00-20:00; closed Mon-Tue

Bea's Restaurant loads lazy susans with all-you-can-eat fried chicken and vegetables on Dodds Avenue in Chattanooga, one family price per person.

Try: All-you-can-eat lazy susan spread

Tip: Wednesday to Sunday 11:00 to 20:00 only. Tables are shared-spin; go hungry and let the staff keep the bowls refilled.

4500 Dodds Avenue, Chattanooga, TN 37407

Uncle Larry's Restaurant ★ 4.5

Seafood$mlkTue-Thu 11:00-18:30; Fri-Sat 11:00-19:30; closed Sun-Mon

Uncle Larry's Restaurant sells fried whiting sandwiches for pocket change on MLK Boulevard in Chattanooga, fish fried to order there since 2013.

Try: Whiting sandwich

Tip: Closed Sunday and Monday. The MLK original is tiny; Brainerd Road and East Brainerd locations take the overflow.

736 E MLK Boulevard, Chattanooga, TN 37403

Taqueria Jalisco Ania ★ 4.5

Mexican$southsideTue-Thu 11:00-21:00; Fri-Sat 11:00-22:00; closed Sun-Mon

Taqueria Jalisco Ania keeps Chattanooga's best-value tacos coming on Rossville Avenue, family-griddled, salsa-barred and priced for ordering in threes.

Try: Street tacos

Tip: Closed Sunday and Monday. The Chatt Taste food tour routes through here for good reason; go off-peak for a table.

1639 Rossville Avenue, Chattanooga, TN 37408

Taqueria at The Plaza ★ 4.2

Mexican$downtownMon-Fri 08:00-14:00; closed Sat-Sun

Taqueria at The Plaza feeds downtown Chattanooga weekday tacos and plates from a fast counter at 850 Market Street, breakfast through lunch.

Try: Breakfast tacos

Tip: Weekdays 08:00 to 14:00 only; it is the downtown lunch shortcut when the Rossville Avenue original is too far.

850 Market Street, Chattanooga, TN 37402

Tacos El Tote ★ 4.5

Mexican$st-elmoMon-Fri 09:00-19:00; closed Sat-Sun

Tacos El Tote hands birria tacos and street corn out of a St Elmo Avenue truck window in Chattanooga at prices a sit-down room cannot touch.

Try: Birria tacos with consomme

Tip: Weekdays 09:00 to 19:00 and closed weekends, the reverse of most trucks; the birria quesadilla with broth is the cold-day order.

5601 St Elmo Avenue, Chattanooga, TN 37409

Ankar's Hoagies ★ 4.0

Sandwiches$brainerdMon-Tue 10:00-16:00; Wed-Sun 10:00-20:00

Ankar's Hoagies steams overstuffed hoagies and gyros for Chattanooga lunch money on Brainerd Road, largely unchanged family value going back to 1979.

Try: Steamed hoagie

Tip: Brainerd closes at 16:00 Monday and Tuesday but runs to 20:00 the rest of the week; the Hixson Pike shop keeps longer evening hours.
