Reviews Summary

Diners rave about Hello Monty's wood-fired fare, with many highlighting the perfectly cooked burgers and fresh ingredients. The vibrant atmosphere, especially the outdoor patio, is a major draw, complemented by attentive and knowledgeable service from staff like Mary and Forrest. While most experiences are positive, a few reviews mention early closing times on weekends, which can be a disappointment for late diners.

"I came to try this place after doing a long hike and it was the best decision I’ve made. Foster was my waiter and he was very attentive and went above and beyond to provide me de best experience as a solo customer.
I juts wanted a burger and french fries and he recommended to add cheese and a fired egg and oh my🙌
Also the beers, he kindly gave me a taste of 2 lager so I could choose the one I liked the best! The whole experience, even as simple as it was, really made my day. I really recommend this place if you come and visit Chattanooga. I’ve stay outside as r was a beautiful sunny day and that added extra points into my experience."

Susana Novo Martinez

"We dined here yesterday and really enjoyed the experience. Our server Forrest was amazing! He knew the menu items well and and was really good at anticipating our questions. For example, we arrived during brunch hours and he knew that we weren't feeling brunch so he recommended dinner menus.

The food was great. I had the burger and it tasted like a premium burger. The vegetables tasted fresh and the fries were tasty and crispy. Overall a great visit, and wouldn't mind eater here again."

L carter

"Mary our server gave us wonderful service and makes us feel so seen and appreciated while she serves us att Hello Monty.

The food is the best brunch in Chattanooga! It is made with fresh ingredient's and the kitchen is very clean from what we can see from sitting in there booth seating. We also like that it is a very calm environment on a Sunday morning...compared to seeing stressed employees at other places. Thank you and will be back again with the family!"

Run by brothers Rob and Clay Gentry, Hello Monty has a strong background in both Chattanooga restaurants and in brewing. According to their website, “The pair have an impressive pedigree: Rob was the first commercial brewer in Chattanooga since Prohibition and Clay has brewed professionally longer than anyone else in the city.” All of the food at Hello Monty encounters fire, so the menu is filled with blistered, charred, blackened, and roasted fare–with all of the depth of flavor you’d expect from a touch of flame. Don’t miss the Icy Blue Mussels, the Blistered Tomato Toast, or the Springer Mountain Farms chicken with spiced yogurt marinade and pickled onions.
