City Cafe Diner keeps a 388-item menu going 24 hours a day on Broad Street in downtown Chattanooga, with towering cakes and breakfast at any hour.
OrderAll-day breakfast and a slice from the 90-cake case.
TipThe only true 24-hour room downtown; it absorbs the post-bar crowd after 02:00, so daytime is the quieter visit.
The Purple Daisy Picnic Cafe plates barbecue and picnic fare at the base of Lookout Mountain in St. Elmo, Chattanooga, next to the Incline Railway.
OrderThe BBQ plate, or the Rainbow sandwich if you want the local cult order.
TipClosed Sunday. Order at the counter and take the side garden; it is the natural lunch stop after riding the Incline down.
Taqueria Jalisco Ania grills tacos, tortas and fajitas served in pineapples on Rossville Avenue in Chattanooga's Southside, a family Mexican kitchen.
OrderTacos al pastor and the fajita served in a pineapple.
TipClosed Sunday and Monday. The Chatt Taste food tour routes through here for good reason; go off-peak for a table.
Ankar's Hoagies has stacked steamed hoagies and gyros for Chattanooga since 1979, a family-run counter institution still working Brainerd Road daily.
OrderThe classic hoagie, steamed, with the works.
TipBrainerd 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.
Pickle Barrel has fed Chattanooga from a century-old flatiron building on Market Street since 1982, burgers and fried pickles until 03:00 nightly.
OrderThe Signature burger with fried pickles, upstairs on the roof deck.
TipStrictly 21 and over at all times. The wedge-shaped roof deck is the best people-watching perch downtown.
Hi-Fi Clyde's mixes Tex-Mex-leaning bar food, murals and live music on West Main Street in Chattanooga's Southside, with a kitchen running to 22:00.
OrderTacos and queso during happy hour, then hold the table for the band.
TipFriday and Saturday the bar pours to 01:00; weeknights it winds down at 23:00, and the kitchen holds to 22:00 every night.
