This little café at the Best Western Inn on Lee Highway is a great find for travelers and for Chattanoogans alike. (There is another City Café Diner at the Days Inn on MLK in downtown Chattanooga as well - just as good.) Both of these restaurants excel in both food qualify and quantity, as well as top-notch service. They are... More

This place is a hidden favorite among chattanooga locals. City cafe is excellent with one of the biggest varieties of food you can imagine. One of the only places you can find Veal, a french dip and nachos on the same page and they all taste equally amazing. Don't get me started on desserts, those alone will make the entire... More

We have to echo what others have said. The food was great and the portions are gynormous. Hubby had big stroganoff and I had the combination Greek platter. We left half on our plates.

This restaurant is open 24 hours a day and is about a block off of I-75. Their slogan is "Good food and a lot of it" and they truly live up to it. The biggest and best dessert selection in Chattanooga. Extensive menu and everything is good. Wait staff is efficient and pleasant. We highly recommend this restaurant and promise... More

Wow, was all we could say after eating at the City Cafe Diner. I'm pretty sure we left with as much food as we ate! We ordered the Chicken/Shrimp/Steak Fajitas while the kids got the "kids" spaghetti and chicken fingers. Needless to say there was enough food delivered to our table to feed 8 people. And, all of it was... More

The menu was large and diverse, portions were very generous. And the service was quick. It seemed a popular place for locals, packed with people and more waiting. They have yummy (and "decadent") cakes in addition to everything else. My slice of the Chocolate Chocolate Cake lasted for several days!

What you notice right away when you walk in are the cases full of cakes. The cakes are beautiful! There is every variety you could dream of and then some. I couldn't quit looking at them while I was waiting for my breakfast and while I was eating my breakfast. I didn't indulge because I was so satisfied with my... More

We read all the great reviews on this place and thought why not. It's literally attached to a hotel so we laughed in the parking lot and found our way into the epitome of a diner-- some shabby sparkly decor and booths/table all about. I was surprised at how HUGE the menu is. Our server was very honest and told... More
