We tried City Cafe because it's open 24 hours and we were looking for an early morning meal after attending an all day scrapbook convention. We were so pleased with our experience that we went back the next day for lunch/dinner before we left town. We didn't have problems with service or wait times, in fact our waitress the first... more

I ate breakfast at this 24 hour diner with my wife and sister. The food was excellant and the portions were large. The home fried potatoes were great. The downside was the lack of servers and the wait time on your food, Don't go expecting a quick breakfast and you'll be fine. The food(at least breakfast)made it worthwhile. Trust me,... more

We were in Chattanooga in February 2008. We made a point to eat dinner at the City Cafe because of the reviews here. The service was very slow, but once the food came it was almost worth the wait. The portions are very generous and food was well prepared. The desserts looked delicious as well, but we tried a piece... more

Visited the City Cafe Diner on March 5 with a small group of students I was chaperoning. The service was terrible, really terrible. The food took almost an hour to get to the table after we ordered, and came out a couple of meals at a time so that some people didn't get served until everyone else was done. Lastly,... more
