Brought a group from Alabama for the first time, and it couldn't have gone better, great food!!! The service was excellent and atmosphere was pleasant!!

When my dad was a young man in the 1950s he worked for Coca-Cola in the summer delivering to lookout mountain for the tourist and the college kids. The young men would stop at Bea's Diner to replenish after a hard morning of deliveries. I had no knowledge of Bea's until one day we were in Chattanooga goofing off, and... More

This is an unusual place because you are seated at a round table with 8 seats (sometimes with others) and all of the food is placed on a revolving "lazy susan" in the center of the table. The food is typical Southern comfort food - fried chicken, bar-b-que, macaroni and cheese, slaw, greens, etc. Price is reasonable for what you... More

My wife and I really enjoyed eating here. The price was right and the food was very good. Go hungry and you will leave full. Excellent service.

The absolute best fried chicken in Chattown! Their BbQ is great as well... And the cornbread is just perfect. All locals should bring all new comers to the area to this joint for real southern food.

They keep the food coming as long as you eat and the wait staff is great. Their fried chicken is the... More

The waitress will continue to bring dishes. If... More

I'm from the area and have been eating at Bea's since I was a teen (almost the entire time they have operated). I always schedule trips that go through Chattanooga so I go through when Bea's is open. World's Best Fried Chicken; excellent daily additions such as Ribs on Thursday, Fish on Friday, Closed Mon-Tue. The prices are no longer... More
