Super cute restaurant! The food was delicious. My family and I came here for the first time not quite knowing what to expect. I needed the gluten free menu and the food came out exactly how I ordered. My daughter got chicken wings and sweet potatoes fries ...finger lickin good. My aunt had a large chef salad and ate every bite with the delicious strawberry vinaigrette dressing. My husband and uncle had burgers that were messy but delicious. My toddler eve. Ate her hot dog. Our server was kind and attentive. When I come back to Chattanooga I'll plan to stop here for a meal.

I wanted to get up & play the Banjo,,, & I don't even know how to play. The food is sooooo delicious & the pastries are amazing 👏. Gluten free options galore. Wish this place was closer to home.

William Edmonds

Outstanding tacos! This location is the best. Great selection of options and gluten-free friendly.

Apparently on Saturdays from 3 to 4 they don't actually serve food. They have a "snacky hour" where you can order alcohol and three snack items. We went out of our way to come here because they were entirely gluten free, even calling ahead, only to be met with, after they started putting a table together, "oh yeah, you can't eat any food here for an hour."

Outstanding food and wonderful service. Very gluten-free friendly for our Celiac family. Portions were generous for the price. Very convenient to Rock City and Ruby Falls. Highly recommend!

Adrianna Kohutek

Great view and great food! We asked for a gluten free menu because my daughter has Celiac Disease. The server asked if the gluten free menu was a preference or Celiac which I thought was a true tell that their wait staff are knowledgeable with CD! We got shrimp and oyster appetizers, my daughter had three veggie plates and I had blackened steak salad.

I loved this cozy place to eat and enjoy time with those in life. The decor provides a relaxing environment to eat delicious crepes loaded with sweet or savory fillings; and yes, even both can be enjoyed side by side. They offer so much more, sandwiches, potatoes, salad. My omelette was large and so tasty: filled with fresh veggies. I just wanted more of those delicious potatoes. I can’t forget the gluten free crepe batter.

I have never been to this location, but nothing less than the best services. Trinity was our server, and she was the best. She knew exactly what to do for my gluten allergy. I ordered the endless steak fries, of course, because it is hard to find companies that have dedicated frier just for the Fries. Next, I got the gluten-free pizza. It was tasty with the cauliflower crust. The mushrooms, green olives, bell peppers. To drink, I had the strawberry lemonade with whole strawberry slices inside. Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely Would I return to this business? Absolutely

Kris Lucey

Lots of gluten free options! Food was delicious! The food was amazing! Even though it was Father's Day and a little on the busy side there was little to no wait! We'll be back!

I will start this off by saying I know Honey Seed is not the place to eat if you’re gluten free, but most times in life it’s about what the majority wants, even if your options are limited. Decided to try the gluten free pizza on our visit yesterday. I chose the breakfast pizza which included hashbrowns as a topping. The server mentioned how the tater tots are like a hush puppy, which clued me in to them having gluten. But I assumed if the hashbrowns had gluten, the server would’ve let me know so we could take it off the pizza. When the pizza came out I could tell there was gluten on it so they happily brought out another one no problem. I was hangry at that point & the pizza looked fine so I ate a few slices & went on about my day. Now that I’m looking at these leftovers, I can tell there’s hashbrowns on them, which makes me think they just picked off the hashbrown pieces instead of making a new pizza. I am disappointed at this discovery! This is a lesson to all- don’t take your gluten free loved ones here. There’s not enough choices nor knowledge from staff

My wife and I enjoyed this quite a bit. The only unfortunate thing was that the GF French Toast wasn't safe for celiac but it was safe for those who simply like to eat GF.

Jill

Stopped here for lunch. I asked about corn tortillas. My waitress asked if it was for gluten free. Explained the could do anything with a corn tortilla. The Mexican rice would be cross contaminated as well as anything fried. She offered a double portion of beans. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

Lauren Mitchell

Jaqi is the sweetest waitress! Great food and service, 95% of menu is gluten free for my fellow celiacs!

If you're in Chattanooga, I highly recommend this restaurant! From the Caesar salad, deviled eggs with candied bacon, roasted beets and goat cheese to the Shrimp and Grits, and their Hibiscus Mule(house ginger beer). Everything from Service to food was Excellent. Ended the meal with their Praline Caramel Carrot Cake. Very Good! They also have a Good gluten free selection.

Today my husband and I went in to eat lunch there for the first time. I ordered the cut pork with collard greens ,grits and a side of gluten free toast. As I was eating the pork, I noticed I was chewing on something other than meat. There was plastic in my pork. I told the waitress and she offered to bring me the same dish. I told her no thank you. She went to talk to the manager and took it off of our bill. She comes back to tell me that how it packaged and prepared, plastic got in my food and someone dropped the ball. The manager, John was aware of the situation and never came to address it. He did not come to our table to apologize for the plastic which I have ingested. However, I called back and spoke with John to ask what was he planning to do in this situation and he told me that he should have came to take to me but he was at the bar and didn’t.He then offered an appetizer for my next visit.I’m sorry but it isn’t acceptable.

Kevin was an excellent server! He answered all my questions and went above and beyond to ensure my celiac needs were met! 10/10 recommend Kevin as a server!

Stephen McGraw

When we want steak this is where we come! There are many different kinds of steak here plus many other menu items to choose from. They are very co-operative about my husband's gluten free & egg free diet.

Bruce Mc

Greta Street

Our party has several food allergies, and our server went above and beyond to make sure food was safe for everyone! Gluten Free Dairy free Soy free Egg free

Priscilla DeWitt

Great place...Gluten free no problem

Michael Maisonet

Incredible food with gluten free bread option available which was perfect for us. The bread tasted great also, you can tell they were intentional about their pick. So much flavor in everything and can tell it’s made with care. Would definitely recommend!

Joe Arrigo

Good selection of items, I went with the build your own bowl. And got gluten free so that's great they are catering to my demographic as well. Manager was very attentive to each guest. Was totally stuffed afterwards. It is expensive so don't be surprised to see $10+ more than you might expect from a place with a name that doesn't sound pricey. Would definitely go again!

We go late nights when the wife gets off from work. The late night drink and food menus offer some great deals and Laura always takes care of us. The service is slow, but that is the norm these days especially in Hixson. They also have gluten free beers and a gluten sensitive crust option!

Heather O'Malley

They dealt with the gluten free order well and no one got sick. Really nice

Rik Hunter

Meh . . . First, our server, Samantha was great. It was New Year's Eve and super busy. As for the food, I can honestly do better at home and not have to stand around 15 minutes past my reservation time waiting for a table (and then those uncomfortable whicker chairs; what in the world). My wife ordered the whipped feta, which she loved, and the shrimp and grits was to her liking, too (both things we easily make at home). My experience was sub-par. The truffle fried mushrooms have potential to be excellent because of the rosemary (a big winner), but the use of rice flour not only makes them look unappealingly uncooked (literally white; rice flour is crispy but does it brown as well as flour?) but they also have that flour-y taste. This may be an effort to have some gluten free options, but the menu certainly doesn't mention anything about gluten anywhere. A huge disappointment. I also had big hopes for the Salsa Verde Half Chicken. The chicken was excellently cooked; a nice char on the skin and crispy. But the plate was an ocean of olive oil. You couldn't cut a bite of chicken without mopping up a spoonful of oil. I made it through the thigh before I just had to stop. So much oil, it was just gross (it looked nothing like the photo on the website; you can also find clearer photos of the dish on their facebook page: now quadruple+ the oil seen). Personally, as someone who doesn't eat a lot of seafood or carbs, I don't have see any reason on the menu to return if this is what the food is routinely like.

April Perus

Good Food, helpful. Has quite few gluten free items.

Cameron Lewis

Came here for breakfast while our boy was in tho OR. Great hospitality and service! Coffee is phenomenal! My wife has a gluten allergy and the staff answered every question she had, made food how she needed…and then gave it to us on the house. Definitely be back.

Destiny Morrison

From the street, this place doesn't look like much, but once inside, the atmosphere comes to life. My server Chris was kind and helpful. He was attentive and recommended the fajitas. The chicken in the fajitas were tender, and the veggies they were cooked with made for an overall delightful dish. The desert menue at this place is large, and there were a variety of options, including some gluten-free deserts. The tiramisu was delicious. Soft and creamy. Sweet but not overbearing. This place made me feel like a friend and not just a customer. I would 100% come back here with my family and friends.

K.B. Flaws

Waitress was great, food was always as expected and good, wait time was reasonable. No complaints here. Would have given five stars except that waitress didnt understand gluten allergy and messed up decaf with regular coffee.

Janis Ericson

Great service made this place. Gluten free and vegetarian options, nothing vegan (there’s an impossible burger vegans typically don’t eat and no vegan sauces). Side salads can be made vegan.

BBQ platter was delicious. The pork was a little dry but the brisket was fantastic. Cheese grits were creamy and good. Plenty of food for the price. Others ordered deep fried brownie which they said was luscious. They have a gluten free menu. Gluten food was brought out by 1 server. Gluten free food was brought out by another server.
