Main Street Meats

My husband and I are in Chattanooga for the first time on our honeymoon. When we went to Ruby Falls the other day, we heard the tour guide recommend this place as a good food recommendation. We stopped for lunch before going to the aquarium today. It was the best food we’ve had all week and decided to come back for dinner later tonight. Not only was the food exquisite and so satisfying, but the service was outstanding. We even received a complimentary chorizo from the kitchen. Both waitresses we had were so friendly and provided excellent service. We will definitely be coming back anytime we come back this way.

We were in town for a vacation and came here for a quick lunch, but were blown away by the experience. Our server was the most enthusiastic, friendly, hospitable human who truly loved his job and believed in the spirit of the business. The restaurant is a farm-to-table concept, with artisanal quality dishes, that felt like we were guests at a friend's house. We had a burger and a smoked gumbo (a temporary feature dish), which were absolutely phenomenal. The gumbo was borderline life-changing, and we still talk about it to this day. We also had a couple craft cocktails, including a frozen gin & tonic which was a fun and delicious spin on the traditional simple mixed drink. We truly loved this place, the whole vibe, the food, the drinks, and the people. It's been quite a while since our visit and we still think about it.

Lee at the bar is knowledgeable, welcoming and friendly. We could come back just to chat with Lee but I’m pretty sure the hot potato salad will have us coming back on a regular basis. Coffee was exceptional and my smoked turkey sandwich was the best!

We all ordered the burger after hearing how good it is supposed to be. However, it comes with bacon and none of us eat pork. We asked if they had a beef bacon substitute (being a butcher shop, you would think they might be able to accommodate), but they said no. So what we ended up with was a very expensive burger ($16) that was just average and did not even include any fries. We ordered two side orders of fries and we're surprised that they were not normal fries at all, but were more like deep fried potato chips (see attached pic). I even asked the server, thinking that perhaps there was a mistake. "No, those are the fries." Overall, a very average meal (we have had much better burgers elsewhere) at a surprisingly high price.

A recommendation while in Chattanooga for a conference. 5 STARS!! We had a large party and they made accommodations quickly for us. The Reuben…. 🤌🏼 The homemade pickles….🤌🏼 The hamburger …🤌🏼 The homemade fries …🤌🏼 Would highly recommend eating here while in town!!

BEST time EVER!!! I cannot say enough good things about Main Street Meats. We came for lunch & Seth was AMAZING! All of the staff were great, but Seth was exceptional. We had loved the food & bevs so much we spent a joyous 2 and a half hours living in the moment here. We will be back!!

Loved everything about this place. Gaston was the perfect server, explained everything to us and always made sure we had what we needed. Me and my husband had the Local Beef Burger and it was delicious. The kids shared the roasted chicken and ate most of it. The side of fries was more than enormous to share. The G&T frozen gin drink was delicious!

Great small place for a steak. Great atmosphere and service. 99 dollar dry aged steak was good but I would guess they could make any of thier steaks that Great. I didn't think it was nothing extraordinary about it. It was a great steak just not 99 dollars Great. I'll be back just to try a regular prime rib for comparison

MEAT SWEATS WITH MAIN STREET MEATS | just kidding we had just the right amount of meat to NOT give us meat sweats - I was craving a steak and we apologized profusely as we were seated outside (with our pup) right before closing time at 8:30pm. However, the server was super nice and didn't care that we had arrived so late. We got a fun little impromptu light show since the fire station across the street had an emergency so that was exciting. We went big with the Bear Creek Farm 48 day dry-aged porterhouse, served with bordelaise & mashed potatoes. The steak was juicy and tender, although the fat could have been rendered a LITTLE more, but I still enjoyed the nearly perfect medium rare. The server also recommended the autumn squash which may not have looked like much but was delicious.it was a hearty meal for 2 - maybe lacking in some greens but one meal without greens can't kill us... We were convinced to order the PB&J Cream Cheese Panna Cotta - and even though we were stuffed it was a fun way to end the meal. It really tasted like we were eating an elevated PB&J in panna cotta form. We will 100% be back for the burger, tallow fries and a cocktail next time we're in town...

It's been some time since we first visited Main Street Meats. The restaurant itself is rather small, though they have probably doubled their seating capacity by extending into what was formerly the sidewalk area. Their additional business is as a purveyor of fresh meat products, both to the local consumer, as well as some of the restaurants here in Chattanooga. There is absolutely no doubting the quality of their fresh meats. Since I was the first of our party to arrive, I spent twenty minutes or so relaxing at the bar, sampling a couple drafts, and swapping stories with the bartender, and some of the other locals. If I wasn't driving that, I would have sampled one, or maybe two, of those custom drinks. It was surprising just how many different whiskies they had in their small, but comfortable bar. MSM has the reputation locally as serving the best burger in town. Having enjoyed that burger during my first visit to Chattanooga years ago, before we moved here, I would agree. While for this evening I chose another entree, one member of our party was able to reconfirm just how incredible that burger still is. I chose the Pork Coppa, a cut of pork with which I was unfamiliar. It was served with cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and a whole grain mustard sauce. It was absolutely, unbelievably delicious. My daughter had insisted I order the potato salad as well. It was most like a German Potato Salad, and she was right, it too was so incredibly tasty. I sampled her trout as well, another safe selection for those who prefer fish to meat. Our visit was on Christmas Eve, and we had three children between the ages of three and six. The staff went out of their way to make sure we all enjoyed our eating experience. What a delightful evening.

Had a phenomenal Saturday lunch! Pork rinds are fresh and amazing (the aoli...‍), the Reuben was the best I've ever enjoyed, and the burger was beyond delicious. Cocktails were excellent, service was perfection. The vibe is relaxed and friendly, and you can also get amazing fresh meat in the butchery section. I WILL be back every time I'm in Chatt!

We travel thru Chatty several times a year and this time we had our pup. The outdoor patio allows dogs so we decided to give it a try. Wow. If we lived near it we would go every week. The whiskey flight ( for the non-driver ) was excellent. The food was fantastic. Service was exceptional even on a really busy night. LOVED the relaxed vibe and the FRESH menu selection. There were 4 of us and ALL of us loved everything we ordered from drinks to food. They even bring a water bowl for your dog. This is a must try, folks!

Really delicious food at this butcher shop turned restaurant. Daily drink specials and superb service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly environment and delicious food . Limited food menu and the focus is quality over quantity. Everything we tasted was delicious and flavorful.

OMG! The vibe was great! The service and recommendations by Caleb were great! The food was unbelievable! We both got burgers which melted in your mouth and we shared the potato salad which was like none I'd ever experienced! And the drinks!! I had the Raspberry Beret and my husband got the Homegrown. Ya'll, (my Texas is showing) you have to check out Main Street Meats if you're in Chattanooga!! We will be back Caleb!

Tried a local brew and the family and I had the turkey and avocado sandwich which was very flavorful. Bread was toasted and the flavors of the turkey and bacon were delicious. The homemade fries didn't travel very well but I won't count that against them. Overall, a definite try for anyone.

Lunch at Main Street Meats is great service, a warm atmosphere full of natural light and most importantly excellent food! The local beef burger is a 10: beefy juicy perfection. The Rueben was very good and NY deli level pastrami on phenomenal bread. My only negative in the whole experience was uneven temperature in the Rueben. A little bit of the meat was cold while the rest was warm. Still a phenomenal experience and I will be back! *** maybe the best pickles I've ever had, ask for an extra side.

Small 3day trip in Chattanooga and heard about this place from 3 locals plus read about it so we knew we had to stop for dinner before leaving town.. luckily we eat early because by 6:30 when we were done the place was packed and no more availability! Service was good, they all worked good with each other by taking order bringing drinks and food! I had the trout and my husband had the ribeye !! The sauce on my fish!! Oh my!! Delicious!! I told my husband to try and replicate it at home cus that sauce was amazing !!

This place is farm to table and you can definitely taste it in their food. I know their menu changes often but I will review what I tried. The service was great, everyone was really friendly and on their A game. The atmosphere was fun and lively. Food:: Italian beef sandwich 10/10 it's probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever tried. It was so full of flavor and juicy. Definitely a must try in my opinion. Burger 8/10 we didn't get the bacon inside so that might've changed the way the burger was supposed to taste. The burger was very juicy but lacking a little flavor. Fresh chips - yummy but I wish they had more of a crunch to them.

Wow! We had an amazing lunch here at Main Street Meats. We started with the pork rinds which I'm not a fan of, but these were absolutely amazing. Not like any pork rind I've ever tried. They were fresh and clean tasting, not hoggie if you know what I mean. We also had the burger and fries which were excellent the burger had a lot going on by the description on the menu but it all melded together for a great burger. The service was second to none they all work as a team to provide a welcoming vibe. Great job Main Street Meats!!!

The food is amazing! This is our second time coming here and everything is superb! Jonathan was our server and he was on top of it! We had a variety of plates tonight....rib plate, hamburger with fries and the filet with broccoli. The filet was ordered by my bonus daughter and she loves A1 Sauce...she said she did not need A1 at all it was so flavorful. The hamburger was, hands down, THE BEST burger I have ever had! No lie! The ambiance inside is kind of loud but very communal and outside is quieter with more individual tables. Inside does have single tables too. We have yet to be disappointed with our food selection! If you are in town, like us, go and check this place out! You will not be disappointed!

Landed at Main Street Meats after abandoning the long line at Niedlov's. The wait staff was super friendly and attentive. Our party of 6 split the Potato Salad (2) and House Made Fries. The Local Beef Burger was a hit and I absolutely loved the Salad with Steak Tips.

Food and service was excellent. My favorite would be the burger and broccoli. Panna cotta was amazing. Dog friendly patio!

Everything is amazing here. Steaks are delicious, the burger is insane, vegetables are fresh and the drinks are heavily alcoholed(at least mine was) A*

So I knew when I walked in and they were playing Frankie Beverly and maze that I was going to like this spot lol. I was taken care of immediately as soon as I hit the door. Got seated at lunch right away and without issue. It was a little past lunch so fortunately I was able to miss the crowd. There's a full bar with drink specials included. It's predominantly whiskey based, but they can probably suit you whatever your I call it needs are. They even have all of the bottles lining the ceiling and I think that's actually pretty cool too. As far as design goes. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor is just like I said, indoor. But the outdoor has a covering over it. So if it gets too cold you can still retain some heat but if it gets too hot, they can blow those doors off for you It's a cool off and get some ventilation. I got the ribeye, potato salad, greens, and I got the chips (which come with the steak). The river came out super juicy and hot. I have no issue with it! Will I get it again, you damn right! The potato salad was different because it wasn't like your auntie's potato salad, it was warm and more firm and had bacon in it. What's the bacon was definitely a good selling point lol! But it had a really good flavor to it, they really took their time with that. The greens were pretty good. The greens came in a small bowl, I kind of wish I had more! But they were really good. The chips, we're just that. Wasn't really a fan of them, I would have rather have french fries, like actual french fries, but whatever! Doesn't matter. Still ate them. They were fried crispy, and they were crisp to perfection so I'll give them that. Do I want to come back? Absolutely. What I was eating my steak, I saw a lot of people with burgers. They're burgers look amazing so that's going to be the next thing on my list. Anyway, if you're coming for me, this is the place. Actually, if you're coming to pick up some meat like as in a butcher shop, this might be the place for you too since you can actually buy meat from the butcher shop as well lol)!

First off, some reviews from several years ago said this place wasn't kid friendly. True, they don't have an official kids menu but they have kid friendly things that are off menu. They have a grilled cheese sandwich, a "lunchable" charcuterie board, and fruit cup. My kids both chose the Lunchable and liked it. Warning for those with allergies, it has peanuts on the board. One child is allergic but thankfully can have a little so we just took them off and he was fine eating the foods that touched the peanuts. It's super noisy inside so I'm glad they sat us outside. But, if you're on the side closest to the sidewalk, there is an awful smell from the grates in the ground on the sidewalk. We had the flat iron steak, the house burger, the house fries, and the broccoli. All of it was amazing! My husband said that might've been one of the best burgers he's had. He actually ate it slow so that he could savor it, which he never does. I enjoyed the steak with the flaky sea salt. We also enjoyed our drinks. Our server was nice and attentive. When I come back to Chattanooga, we'll be back.

There is nothing about this place that hasn't been said already. I found out about MSM from a post on Reddit talking about the best restaurants in Chattanooga. There were multiple votes for this place and after looking at the reviews, I decided to give it a shot because I was a really craving a good homemade sausage and figured this place could deliver since they were also a butchery. I am so so so glad I came here. Being a Chicagoan, I'm a bit of a foodie (borderline snob) so I take my culinary experiences seriously...believe me when I say that the food here is *good*. Like, someone understands different flavor profiles and heat/salt/fat/acid good. I had the potato salad, the homemade chorizo, and my partner had the burger and everything was 10/10. I would gladly come back in a heartbeat.

This place was so good. It's hard to put into words just how delicious the food was. I wish I lived closer but we stoped in on a road trip home.

Service is spot on. It's a small town eating establishment that delivers service only a small town establishment can give. No matter how busy the staff is ready to serve. The food is excellent. They have inside and outside dining.

I ordered a fresh-killed turkey which MSM brined for me. It was the BEST TURKEY we ever had for Thanksgiving, very juicy and tender. It's worth every penny, and we will be looking forward to another next year! Keep up the good work!

Phenomenal. My husband and I swung in after lunch next-door for a cap since he's in town. You need to give your bartender Dion a raise . It's been a long time since we sat down in a restaurant and had a genuinely amazing time. His recommendations, knowledge, charismatic nature made your restaurant an entire experience. We snagged some steaks and a chicken from the case after he recommended whiskeys for the hubs and made an Aviation for me when I said I wanted uplifting and citrusy. Having a complete new flavor added to my palette is what dreams are made of. Thanks a ton for making our date day the best!

We came on the recommendation of a friend, he raved over the steaks We got burgers which were amazing but the service was just less than, only time he started to be interactive was when he was dropping off the bill. We were told to seat ourselves, we chose close to a heater outside (it was a four top) after sitting and waiting 15 minutes we were asked to move to a 2 top because there was only 2 of us. Our bill was $54 and it was two burgers (they dont come with sides so burger only) and 2 glasses of tea. If the service had matched to tase we would have given it a 5

Prices are way to expensive for average food. A friend and I both got burgers which were just okay. They came with no sides either just the burger and our combined bill with no other food was like $60. For a place called Main Street MEATS I expected much better. You can go next door and get a much better and cheaper burger.

We decided to stop at Main Street Meats for lunch after being promised the best burgers in all of Chattanooga. As we walked in, the place was absolutely packed and we were lucky enough to get the very last open table. We looked around and basically everyone had a burger in front of them, so there was no way it wouldn't be good, right? House Made Fries ($6.50) - These are approximately 1/8 inch rounds cut width-wise across the potatoes - more akin to thick chips rather than fries. My best guess is that these are precut and portioned out, then fried to order. They are only fried once, so the exterior could use some work; even though the color is a pleasing brown, there wasn't any of the corresponding crisp to match. The interior is very fluffy, moist, and appropriately cooked. Many of the fries are stuck together, resulting in pieces that are never in direct contact with the oil. Honestly the crunchiest part of these fries are the maldon salt pyramids sprinkled on the top... Local Beef Burger ($16) - I could tell the beef was high quality through the fresh beefy smell and taste coming from the burger. The patty was quite thick, probably on the order of 3/4 inch. It was ordered medium doneness, as recommended by the waiter, which meant that there was a decent amount of pink in the center. The problem was the burger as a whole was extremely dry and the large thickness accentuated this feeling. The bun didn't help very much - the wheat bun, which added to the thickness of the entire burger, was on the dense side. It was toasted on the grill, but kind of dried out. Really the only thing adding moistness was a thin smear of mayo and mustard - not nearly enough to counteract the beef and bun. The other toppings were good - a thick cut bacon slice, some pickles, cheese, and some nicely sweet caramelized onions. I also tasted some horseradish for some reason, but the menu didn't say this had horseradish in it. I'm not sure what happened here. The cook on the patty was correct, so I don't know why it wasn't juicy. Maybe they used leaner cuts of beef for this particularly burger? Smoked Ribeye ($16) - A high quality, thinly sliced ribeye. Most parts were still quite pink, but the meat was tender and didn't have any chewy bits. The giardiniera, composed of peppers, cauliflower, and carrots in this case, added a nice vinegary acidity that complemented the meat. There was a bit of melted gruyere and baby spinach to round things out. This was all on buttered and griddled sourdough that added a nice crisp texture. I found this sandwich to be superior to the burger. This sandwich was listed as having horseradish mousse, but I couldn't really detect that flavor note. We noticed that a lot of patrons were ordering a single burger or sandwich to split between two, along with multiple sides to shore up the meal. This is a great strategy since many items on their menu sound delicious. Main Street Meats also has a nice meat counter with a variety of different meats for sale, a fridge with drinks and some prepared foods, and a couple of shelves of interesting jarred and bottled items. Overall, I could tell that the ingredients Main Street Meats uses for their food is high quality, which is well appreciated. I just thought the execution was a bit off for the food that we received. I think this restaurant is still worth a visit.

We had a fantastic lunch at Main Street Eats! The turkey sandwich and burger were especially good--and there were so many options we didn't get to explore. Super friendly and welcoming staff. Would love to come back for dinner!

First time dinning at Main Street Meats and I was amazed of operation and management so organized and friendly specially there Food top quality I had a chance to thank the manager you see him with me

I have been reviewing eateries for 12 years on Yelp and been an Elite Yelp Reviewer for 7 years. I say that as background to give credence to "Main Street Meats" being the best deli type diner I have ever been to. If you are in Chattanooga then MSM is a must! A pleasant atmosphere with the option to dine inside or outside. Our server, Gaston (yes, he reminded us of a Beauty & the Beast Gaston double), was extremely knowledgeable on the menu items and drinks. Since I was waiting for my wife to join me, he recommended their Old Fashioned. It was amazing, and this is a drink I frequent and make. For sandwiches, my wife ordered the turkey and I ordered the Rueben. Both were just awesome! What really put our meal over the top was the warm potato salad. It is just "off the chain" good. My wife rolled her eyes as I literally closed mine and moaned. Soooo good. The amazing thing is that Main Street Meats is right next door to Niedlov's Bakery, by far the best breakfast spot in town. What a combo. Don't miss either. If I could give 6 stars I would.

AMAZING!!!! aged ribeye with Cabernet is amazing! You won't regret it! Just get it! Thank you Seth for all the recommendations!

We came here as I read reviews on Yelp and google trying to figure out where to go for dinner. We settled on this place. When we walked in, this place was slammed. We waited 20 min and we're sat down outside on the last table. We met our waiter who was very nice. We were talked into getting the smoked ribs appetizer as it was a Friday. The ribs were delicious. Not fall off the bone ribs but the Carolina mustard sauce with peanuts along with the ribs being creamy were amazing. We then we're told to order the teres major and burger. The teres major was good. The waiter said it was the best steak hands down. Uhhh, it was good. Don't get me wrong, but best ever?? Prob not. However, the mash potatoes were delicious. They were creamy and smooth. The burger was also very delicious. The waiter told us that the burger was made with left over steaks. Very creamy almost as if the burger was made with tallow. Then he said to get the potato salad. That was amazing! Never had such greasy potato salad before. That probably was the best I've had. Again, you can tell it had like a hint of mustard but also very fatty, not mayonnaise but fatty. Everything was delicious and if we were ever back in Chattanooga we would come back here.

We came in for the bourbon. We wanted a pre-dinner drink. We came at 4 which is in between lunch and dinner. Which was fine. The seasonal cocktail menu was fantastic. This is not just a meat place. Our waitress was helpful, kind, and patient. We got a meat and cheese board. It was very yummy. I would love to come back and try their dinner menu.

Best combinations EVER: part butcher shop, part restaurant & part Bourbon bar The service was great and food and drinks were even better! Highly recommend!!!!

Pretty good! The burger hit the spot after a long hike. Loved the guava panna cotta--felt weird getting it at a meat place but it was surprisingly delicious! Loved the fries too!

This is my 2nd time here and won't be my last. Their hamburgers are about the best I've ever eaten ( better than that one over in North Shore. I would recommend the broccoli as a side to go with your burger. Service is superb, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Besides being a neat cafe they are also a butcher shop! Oh and if you're looking for something special just ask them. They don't put everything they have out in the display case. (they have tritip!) I would definitely recommend trying it out for yourself.

Looks like lunch today, Friday before Christmas 2023, will be Main Street Meats! The great thing about Main Street Meats is the menu updates daily. The service is outstanding. The restaurant is clean. The restrooms are very clean. Thanks to Chef Erik Niel (From Mandeville, Louisiana) for bringing Chattanooga, TN a Top of the line Butcher Shop/Restaurant. Lunch was the Ribeye, 48 Day Dry-Aged (Bear Creek TN). Sides were the Broccoli & the Delicata Squash. Desert was the Dark Chocolate Sorbet. #butchershop #steakhouse #bestofthebest #chattanoogafoodscene #mainstreeteats

AMAZING! The service was fantastic. Our server was Austin and gave great recommendations, but everyone was incredibly welcoming. The food was DELICIOUS. Seriously, one of the best steaks my husband and I have ever had. The ambiance is great. Very cozy and nice.

Can't go wrong with Main Street Meats, I've been here many times, can't go wrong on ay thing you order. Dry aged meats are great. I even do my local meat shopping at this place. Strongly recommend

We had one night in Chattanooga as a part of a cross country drive for the holidays. We had seen this place had been featured on Chris & Sara's YouTube channel. What a find!! Great service, great food, great ambiance. Oh my! It was the perfect end to a long long day on the road. We started with the MSM house made sausage. It came with spicy mustard and pickled veggies. Great flavor and texture. We also had the Brussel sprouts (side) as a starter. They were spicy sweet and nutty. The outer leaves were crispy without drying out the inside. Perfect! For the main, we split the roasted chicken, pumpkin dumplings, with kale & Parmesan broth/sauce. And a basket of toasted bread from next door to soak up all of the saucy goodness! I don't remember the beer we had. It was an IPA from Nashville. Recommended from our server, Chelsy, who was fantastic! I wish we had room for dessert. Next time....

We wanted to try someplace different for a late lunch, and love to pick local favorites in the various cities we visit, especially when they claim to be the best burger. This little place was quite busy on our visit, so much so when we arrived, there were there were only a few not great options to sit. They had their patio open, but the flaps could not keep up with the very cold wind, and we opted to eat inside. So our choices were either a two top right at the kitchen entrance, which was very busy, or join the what appeared to be a "community table" a very large high top table in the middle. We went with the fellowship type table in the middle. It was a little frustrating that a few minutes after we arrived, a party of four came in, and while there were four seats in between us and the next group at this large fellowship table, one of the reps asked us if we wouldn't mind moving to the small two top back at the kitchen entrance. We said we'd rather not, that would be quite busy and distracting, and pointed out There were four seats next to us that we were happy for them to take. They didn't and waited on another group to leave. That all just seemed quite weird to us, maybe they were regulars, who had a favorite table, I don't know. Hubby and I shared the burger, and it was good, But probably not the best we've ever had. Their house made fries across between french fries and chips, circular little fried discs, quite interesting. It was weird we normally like to have fries with ranch dressing, and when we asked for such, this particular little joint didn't have any ranch. Weird, but not the end of the world. so all in all, it was good. But will be back? More than likely not. Parking was challenging, seating was challenging, and it was very loud. Just not really our thing.

The food was excellent with several mild aromas blending together. Zach waited on us and was very helpful to accommodate our dining preferences. Chose this place because of locally sourced and high quality ingredients, made from scratch menus. It did not disappoint. Overall the food and service were great. One thing to keep in mind - there is a fire station right across the street. It could get extremely loud if seated outside.

The food was delicious, the potato salad was out of this world. It's a different kind of salad but it's so good. The service was great as well.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this was truly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I had their Cuban sandwich and it was simply superb. The meat--their flagship product--was cured to perfection--the best I've ever had. The bun was fresh from the next-door bakery and toasted to perfect crispness. My wife had the burger, and it was perfect, too. We were served by a nice waiter named Danny, and we were impressed at the quickness of the service, considering how busy the restaurant was. Seriously--one of the best meals I've ever had. If you're in Chattanooga, you must try it.

I eat out a lot.Hardly a day goes by that I eat out less than once a day.I haven't written a negative review since the restaurant in Key West promised me that their liver and onions were tender and "cut with a fork" delicious.It wasn't.But the sales manager at a local motorcycle shop recommended Main Street Meats.Let me suggest that you NOT get restaurant recommendations from motorcycle salesmen! We got to Main Street at a few minutes before 7:00 and left at 9:15.It was Wednesday eve and the place was hammered. We had a beer and waited.And waited.Finally the waitress came out to apologize that they had overcooked one of our party's steak.So we waited some more. Finally,after an hour and a half our food was served.Cold.I had a $37 pork chop and it was tough.But since we had waited for almost two hours,I ate most of it .The waitress offer to comp us a drink and dessert.All I wanted was to finish my meal and get out of there. They offered to comp my meal,but I wanted to pay for it.I didn't want any charity.I just want to have a decent dinner in a pleasant atmosphere ,served in a reasonable amount of time.That didn't happen at Main Street Meats tonight. They were full of apologies."We were short staffed in the kitchen". At the end ,I was steaming " Would you like a free dessert? ".No .I wanted what I came to get! They refused to charge my credit card,because they knew it was a bad as I experienced.I told the manager that I wanted to pay for my meal because I want to write this frank evaluation.Their response was " You can write anything you want to write!" So I did. I am embarrassed that I took to visitors to Main Street Meats and this was the kind of service and meal that we experienced ‍

Everything about this place was AMAZING! My boyfriend recommended that we come here and at first, I was hesitant; it seemed like a spot for the guys, but I was wrong. It was perfect for a low key date night. The andouille sausage was to DIE FOR. We also ordered the local burger (no bun), YUM, the pork choppa dish, and the warm potato salad. SO good. It was hot so I ordered two frozen lemon drops. They were so tasty and very refreshing. I am happy that we decided to come here! I can't wait to come back!!

If you are visiting Chattanooga, this is a must visit restaurant. Unfortunately, this place might not be veggie friendly for all you vegetarians and vegans out there, but it is definitely a haven for carnivores. We started off with cured meat platter and it was a nice way to open up our appetite. I ordered the beef brisket and it was super delicious. We finished it off with pumpkin bread pudding and a scoop of peanut butter ice cream, which definitely gave me diabetes if I didn't have it already. Overall, the food here is just fantastic. I also highly recommend their Rhinegeist lager, which goes super well with the meal!

Food was good but was kinda dampened by the service, I was over charged by the staff and when I came back to fix it, I was met with zero compensation for coming back to fix their mistake. Waste of time to be honest.

We have been to MSM many times and have never been disappointed!! The food is outstanding!! Service is excellent!! It's a must every time we go to Chattanooga!!

Yummy drinks ! This place is fun! Came here years ago with a grumpy friend who ruined it for me. So glad we are trying it again. The menu changes so everything is fresh and in season. Today we are enjoying a delicious appetizer of hummus and pita followed by burgers and fries. They are known for their burgers and I'm excited because the butcher shop is ten feet from my table. The service has been excellent and everyone is so friendly. The ambiance is casual and inviting. Inside and outside patio! Lots of street parking and prices are just right! I will be back!because I really like it here! Just remember they are all about meat. Not much on the veggie side!

Shoutout to Gage for excellent service and great recommendations. Somehow, we ended up at this fabulous spot for lunch. Although it was chilly we sat in the shelter outside and were very comfortable. We shared a burger and ribeye sandwich along with a side of potato salad. There was a slight mixup on the order but it was quickly resolved. Sorry Gage we were not very clear about our order. Food was above expectations. It is a farm to table restaurant and also a butcher shop. The meat was juicy and delicious, fresh ingredients and flavorful bread. Potato salad was more German style, loved that. Was busy due to the holidays but service was still fairly quick. Five star. It's a must try!!
