STIR is the perfect restaurant to sip a craft cocktail over a dozen oysters, enjoy a night out, or meet for lunch. Located in the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo complex, the restaurant is an open-air concept with a large, heated outdoor patio. We are open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch.

Great food starts with fresh, local ingredients. Our kitchen prepares everything from scratch, and our signature raw bar is stocked with fresh oysters and seasonal seafood.

STIR is famous for craft cocktails. We freeze and carve 300-pound blocks of artisanal ice in-house, age certain cocktails in oak barrels for richer flavors, and place others on draft for crispness and carbonation. The result: categorically elevated cocktails. Our passion for fine spirits also compels us to find and share rare bottles, many of which are extremely difficult to procure.

We welcome Chattanooga to enjoy our unmatched cocktails, fresh seafood, and classic dishes in an atmosphere of

    Wonderful server Sarah S. who was very accommodating to dietary needs and working with the kitchen to keep us informed of measures taken. Burger was good….very juicy! Special of shrimp and steak was excellent. Not too full on Sunday early dinner so service was excellent. Will definitely return!

    Fun place with very good food. I had the Ahi Tuna poke bow, which was delicious. Wasabi and a poke sauce on the side would have taking it up a notch.  I also had a glass of the Bonanza Cabernet Sauvignon, which is delicious for the price. I enjoyed a decaf cappuccino for dessert. I would definitely go back to this restaurant next time I am in Chattanooga!

    It was our first visit to STIR & Chattanooga. A great experience. The waitstaff was knowledgeable & accommodating. The oysters were fresh, briny and delicious. The cocktails and ICE CUBES amazing. Entrees were prepared beautifully. We can’t wait for our next visit to Chattanooga.

    Overall, very good experience. The parking situation and clarity on which lot, of the like 5, is validated would be nice. Everything else, very good!

    We loved eating here while visiting our neice at UTC. The oysters were fabulous! The craft cocktails were wondeful. Service was excellent. If STIR was in our home town (Nashville) it would be our new favorite place.

    We ate here while visiting Chattanooga. It took about 20 minutes after being seated for our server to come to the table. Out of all the food that was ordered, the cheeseburger egg rolls were the best. The salad had practically no dressing, and it took 15 mins to ask for more. And I typically do light dressing, so that should give some indication of how dry it was. I ordered the ribeye medium rare. It was cooked incredibly unevenly. The majority of the steak was well done, but oddly I received it cold to where the butter wouldn't even melt. I tried to get our server's attention, but after 20 minutes to no avail, I gave up. Also, I had to ask for a refill, so most of the meal was consumed without a drink. The bill was over $150, and while I don't mind spending money on food, the value was not there. The steak alone was $56, and the season nor preparation reflected that. I hate well-done steak, so I left disappointed and a little hungry, with a significant amount of money spent. My daughter who is a big steak fan wouldn't even eat it. We don't plan on returning when we're back in town.

    Had the steakhouse burger. Good flavor but very small, thin patty. For $23 would have liked a thicker burger.

    Wife and I went to STIR for a birthday celebration. I had 1/2 doz broiled oysters as a starter. We split a caesar salad and I had the lobster crab cake and the wife had the sesame steak bowl. We were comped a desert for the birthday (thank you!) so we chose the vegetarian four layer chocolate cake. First off, parking at this location is scarce. They have complementary valet but to get to it, I had to drive the wrong way on Market for a few feet. Food wise, everybody has differing tastes but these are our observations. Oysters and salad were good. My wife’s sesame steak bowl was good but the rice was cold, which was odd. I’m talking, refrigerator cold. For me, the lobster crab cakes were w a bit too salty. Also, my dinner came with five large asparagus stalks. They were well prepared but four would have been fine. I know, picky observations. As for service, our server was just clipping the tree tops with respect to serving us. She would disappear for long periods, not give us the proper utensils or any when she served us, and we had to move our plates to the edge of the table so that she would get the clue that it was time to clear the plates. The interior design lacked soft furnishing to absorb the sound so we found it difficult to hear each other, hence the noise rating.

    Oysters were great, cocktails solid. Rest was very poor. Steak and ravioli dish came out cold with a lump of cold butter on the plate. Server was too busy talking to her friends to notice us not eating. Finally comes over only to say I’ll be right back, goes to wait on another table before alerting the kitchen. Terrible service and not what I expected of this place based on reviews.
