Sizzling USDA Prime steaks cooked to perfection, chilled oysters on the half shell and sky-high seafood towers are just a few staples of this classic restaurant. Bridgeman’s Chophouse is beloved by Chattanooga for its delectable food, elegant setting, and exemplary service. The restaurant also offers the city’s largest and most diverse wine list.

This place is nothing short of amazing!! The server was awesome and helped with our entire dinner. He surprised us with delectable creme brulee and a dessert adult drink. Plain and simple… Dinner was expensive but sooooo worth it!! They get a wagyu ribeye once a year and we got that, scallops and a couple of sides, plus our drinks❤️. If you haven’t gone, then treat yourself!!! The people, food and atmosphere there are all top notch!!! A special shoutout to our server for being A1!!!

A wonderful dining experience inside the Read House Hotel in Chattanooga. Without a reservation we were warmly greeted and quickly seated. It is a beautifully designed and furnished room. Very comfy chairs and the table with the traditional setting is refreshing. The Onion soup is probably the best we have ever encountered. Very hearty and not overly salty. The Lobster Ravioli is an exceptional house made treat. The prime bone-in Ribeye was prepared perfectly. Accompanied with sides of broccolini and sweet potatoes mash made the dinner most enjoyable. All the servers were excellent. Knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. An overall great experience.

This place is AMAZING! First of all, it is LUXURIOUSLY GORGEOUS in an awesome hotel. Parking looks like it would be rough (first come street parking) but we took an uber there luckily but it would be well worth it. The service was outstanding from the moment we arrived. Our waiter, Barry was so nice, friendly and helpful with the menu and was very knowledgeable. Barry was able to offer us outstanding suggestions. The food….. oh wow! My husband said he had the best steak here that he’s ever had in his life and I can vouch that all he does is eat steak everywhere we go. I am not a red meat lover but I must agree, that steak was OUTSTANDING! It was silky and Parmesan tasting with the right about buttery salty taste… absolutely delicious! The lobster bisque was so tasty. You could taste the lobster in it and it lingered on your taste buds (the sign of great and properly made lobster bisque) with big chuncks of lobster. The presentation of it was a nice touch too. The truffle fries were absolutely delicious! Oh the truffle…. The truffle! My seafood ravioli was outstanding too. My husband really enjoyed his bone marrow appetizer. So many outstanding dishes here that I can’t wait to come back and sample more tasty offerings. It’s Worth every single penny! Just make sure you make reservations way in advance as this place is so spectacular everyone wants to come and I can’t blame them. As a matter of fact, my husband wants to make the 2 1/2 hour drive back here for his birthday dinner! And btw Barry, thank you for the other great suggestion for things to do while in town. We went and it was just as you said. Thank you so much! A pefect meal from start to finish. Felt like royalty!

We came all the way from Georgia to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday in Chattanooga, and this place did not disappoint! The service was amazing from start to finish. The ribeye steak was incredibly juicy and full of flavor, and my boyfriend’s dry-aged ribeye with the mushroom Diane… ooooo my goodness, absolutely delicious! The lobster bisque was also super yummy. The crème brûlée is a must try!
Our server, Byron, was hilarious, attentive, and honestly made our whole experience even better.
The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and upscale. We definitely recommend this place and will for sure be back!

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner here. I reserved a table about a month out, and had no issue getting our table when we walked in. The food was great and so was the service.
We had the fried lions mane mushroom appetizer. We shared the 16oz dry aged ribeye, with the broccolini and mashed potatoes. Then creme brulee and coffee for desert.

What an absolute GEM of a restaurant. Stayed at the Read House 4 nights + decided to eat there our first night where we met our waiter Jeffery G. He was friendly, attentive + extremely knowledgeable on the menu. We had the mussels, lobster bisque, my husband the dry aged steak + I had the lobster ravioli + a few smoked old fashioned’s. EVERYTHING was delicious so much so that we ended up here every night. Our last night we had Jeffery serving us again, the food, the service, the hospitality was above 5 stars consistently. I’d say this restaurant IS the best show in town! If you’re ever in chatt, do not skip this place!

Derrick was our server and came in clutch with his recommendations. The Lionsmane app was delish. They had a tomahawk steak (off menu) for 2 with garlic butter. It was the best steak I have ever had. Definitely ask for Derrick, he’s good at his job and will take care of you.

Absolutely Phenomenal. The chefs must have a personal vendetta against blandness. The whole experience – exquisite. It’s one place where you wouldn’t complain about your steak being too juicy or your lobster too buttery. Great service, beautiful spot, and amazing cocktails.

Bridgeman’s Chophouse nails the classic steakhouse experience with prime cuts, fresh seafood, and rich, well-executed dishes. The menu is indulgent without being overdone, and every item feels thoughtfully crafted. A solid choice for a special night out or an elevated dinner.
And you must try the Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. It’s the perfect, decadent finish to an exceptional meal.
