Dhang that was good. Brisket is on point chicken is super awesome. They always have several smokers going at once and smells delicious. The sauce is great even has a little cinnamon hint so I’m guessing they make it their selves. The smoked Mac and cheese is possibly the best I love ever had. Not sure if they make their slaw from scratch but it has honey and apples in it, I know apples sound a little off but it’s great. Price is a little higher, but you get what you pay for! We’ll be back for sure.

The wing were very tasty and I got them with the cajun sauce. A little kick my 2 sides were baked beans they were pretty good and the mac & cheese. The mac & cheese so ok. The bread i could eat by itself (which i did). Great customer service and feiendly staff.

Got the pulled pork plate with mac and cheese and fried okra. Great portions. It was all delicious. Drive thru confused me but besides that I had a nice experience

We made the pilgrimage from FT. Myers Florida today for lunch and it did not disappoint. We could smell the BBQ from a mile away. Great service and an eclectic collection of smokers. We look forward to coming back. Oh should probably mention the food was amazing. It’s a Chattanooga Gem. Ash & Rebecca,

Really enjoyed! We ordered for takeout and the chicken bbq nachos were delicious. I tried both sauces they offered and the spicy and sweet sauces mixed together were perfect. There was plenty of food, I could have shared my single order

Chatterbox prepared food for our 48th family reunion! Everything was excellent! The staff was very professional, courteous and very punctual. Our food selections were deliciously prepared, seasoned to perfection, and food was hot. The staff greeted everyone with a smile. We had an abundance of food which easily fed 300. Everyone could not stop talking about how delicious everything tasted. I live in North Carolina and have never had this quality barbeque, chicken, fish, slaw, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, etc., that was seasoned in the manner that we had during our picnic! I give this place 10!!

This is a great spot in Chattanooga for some barbecue! It was a bit confusing at first because we had never been there before, and we didn't realize it was only a drive-thru. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich and the bbq nachos and loved it! We were given plenty of bbq sauce and all of the toppings for the nachos were separated, which was fantastic. The bbq and the sauce had great flavor. We had great service as well!

I’m very lucky I ran into this heaven of pork ribs. I was passing thru Chattanooga and was told to stop. Not only the best ribs I truly have had since I can remember. The owner was even more kind that that swine. Well Done!! I certainly will be back. Everytime I can.
