$ TacosMccallie

White Duck Taco Shop serves globally-topped tacos counter-style on McCallie Avenue in Chattanooga, opened June 2025 with a huge outdoor patio and full bar.

OrderTwo or three off-format tacos; the list changes often.

Wally's Restaurant ★ 4.2

$ SouthernMccallie

Wally's Restaurant has served Chattanooga meat-and-three plates on McCallie Avenue since 1937, from drive-in burgers to today's homecooked vegetables.

OrderMeat-and-three with whatever vegetables came in that morning.

OrderFried chicken and whatever vegetables land on the lazy susan.

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

City Cafe Diner ★ 3.8

$$ American DinerDowntown

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.
