This place is amazing! The food was yummy and the atmosphere was pleasant. We sat outside on the balcony and the view of the mountains was impeccable. The staff was very friendly and all smiles. I missed the fries pickles that day and they are the bomb. Y'all check this place out. It's in a quiet downtown ringgold. Small city feel without the overcrowd of the big city. Prices are fair and their adult drinks are very yummy and a great deal. Theirs even a bar area!

⭐ 1/5... I wouldn't even give it that much if I didn't have to. I spent almost $40 for this?? No thanks! After a long day at work, I decided to treat myself to some wings. Big mistake. These wings were dry, stale, and tasted nowhere near fresh—like they’d been sitting under a heat lamp just waiting to ruin someone’s night. For almost $40, this was an absolute joke. I ordered 2 different kind of wings and each 10 piece is $15.99 with sides costing additional. Neither set of wings was good or even edible, honestly. The "dry rub" was definitely dry but not in the way they intended, I am sure. I called to get a refund and was basically blamed for their wings being this bad as they were "not picked up on time" even though their website stated 35 minutes for ASAP pick up. I understand food can taste a little off if not picked up right away but these taste as if I've gone over my pick up time by hourssss not just 5-10 minutes! The meat was very tough, the "seasoning" couldn’t save it, and the whole order looked and tasted like something they threw together without a second of care. This was like something you'd see on Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. If this is what they consider acceptable quality, I won’t be wasting my money here again. I know $40 may not sound like much to some people but for others that's all they can manage to set aside to treat themselves to something nice in this economy. Do better, Jefferson’s. This was embarrassing. And definitely no further business from me.

This was my first time here with family and it was delicious, we sat outside and the weather was nice, but the music is a little bit loud for mid day. Love the little town of Ringgold, plenty of great places to shop within walking distance from this restaurant.

The atmosphere is great, and the service was even better. The 10 Oz sirloin was good to perfection and baked potatoe was good. I wish the lettuce in the salad was crispier and the salade was real salty for some reason. But, this was a great supper and the server did a great job. I will come back. Stopped again while traveling g and tried the salmon with baked potato and rice. This time they had to carry the salmon back due to it not being cooked. When it came back it was not bad. The service was great!

We went out to watch the new Superman movie and on the way back home decided to get supper. We had never visited Farm to Fork before, but had heard good things. So we decided to stop by. The parking lot was full! Get inside and there's a full house with a couple of groups waiting to be seated. The inside looked nice. It's half and half...maybe off a bit on that ratio. Half is restaurant the other half is a bar and dance floor with live music. The music is loud, but really doesn't completely over power the dining area since there is a wall between the 2 sections. Our waitress Deborah was very nice. We looked over the menu and finally was able to chose our dishes. My wife got the grilled chicken, fried green tomatoes, mashed potatoes and a lemonade. The kids each got a farm burger with cheese, but one added bacon and took off the garden while the other had it as is. They had fries as a side and tea to drink. I myself decided on the hamburger steak with gravy with sides of fried squash and roasted corn and tea to drink. My wife and I tried each other's dishes so that we could try them. The chicken wasn't dry and had good flavor to it. It was definitely a delicious bite and great choice. My hamburger steak, like the chicken, had plenty of moistness to it. It wasn't tough and it wasn't falling apart. Hit just right! The flavor was great. Had some smokiness to it without over powering. The gravy was just the cherry on top. Smooth and savory. The sides were great compliments to the entrees. We also ordered some wings for the table. My wife had one, and my boy and I ate the rest. Again, perfectly cooked, meaty....mouth is watering for them right now even though it's been a couple of months since we visited. On top of this, they offer a military discount. Definitely needed since it's not cheap, but they do have some good quality food! I believe it definitely rates the prices. We enjoyed it and will return.

Went during the brunch menu time. The portions are huge, the Avocado Toast was flavorful. The Eggs Benedict was okay it was a little bland and the hashbrown casserole was a tad dry. Prices were great for the portion size. We will definitely give it another try.

Wonderful food and a wonderful environment. The building is spacious and kept cleans. The hostess and the waitress were so polite and sweet. My husband and I tried the fried pickles and man were they delicious! Crispy, salty, and super fresh. Some of the best fried pickles I’ve had, for sure. I got the meatloaf with okra and the meatloaf is top tier. Savory, soft, and tender. The okra was crispy, but there wasn’t much flavor. My husband got the Philly cheese and fries. The CHEESE was cheesing. It was packed with flavor! Needless to say, the food was amazing. They do karaoke and live music. I definitely can’t wait to try the night scene there!

Julie B was an absolutely delightful server. We went on Wednesday, a couple days after opening and we assumed we would be waiting long for food and service. We initially waited for a hour to get seated, but once seated almost immediately Julie came and checked on us attentively even through the busy night- and gave us suggestions for food and beverages. I am a picky eater and got a lot of modifications on my order.. Julie made sure it was correct and everything came out perfectly to my taste. The food came fast, within 15 minutes of ordering, and was delicious! We will be coming back for dinners, and asking for Julie :)

Newly opened. Got a to-go order. Got to the car sooner than expected which was a surprise! Steaks, potatoes, & salads were just as ordered and were great. The only thing that we we unhappy about was the Texas Tonions were waaaay too salty. Couldn’t eat them.

Ordered a to-go order for lunch with a co worker, the breading on her chicken sandwich was so salty it was inedible, coming from someone who likes salt and vinegar chips. Had the steakhouse burger myself and everything looked great, took a bite and same issue. Heavily salted. I was super excited to see a Longhorn open down here and now I'm left disappointed.

From the moment we walked in, the owners made us feel right at home. They were incredibly kind and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The restaurant itself was spotless, which made for a very pleasant dining atmosphere. We started with the rice and beans, which were full of flavor and a perfect accompaniment to our meal. The shrimp and steak tacos were absolutely to die for—especially with the homemade corn tortillas that added the perfect touch. And let’s not forget the salsa—simply fabulous, with just the right amount of kick! Overall, we had an amazing experience and would highly recommend El Charro to anyone looking for great Mexican food. Can’t wait to go back!

It's a really unique place. The tables and chairs are all hand painted, lots of televisions (sports bar feel) and clean. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. It will give the other local places a run for their money IF business picks up. I highly recommend the food.

They have put a discount card in the hotels for $1.99 off. LOL that is not very much at all when the other restaurants give 10% or a free appetizer. 4/19/25 The food was much better than my first visit. The sauce was good with flavor and a little kick. Our server (Jose G) was very attentive and polite.

My family and I went to Aunt Effie’s for a late lunch on a weekday while on a road trip. We love stopping at local places whenever we have the time to especially in new places and on road trips. The restaurant has a chill vibe and serves southern food. Our service was really nice and helpful. We ordered the Grilled Chicken Breast Filet with Turnip Greens and the tomato and cucumber salad, Chicken and Dumplings with Fried Green Tomatoes and a Side Salad, and the Country Fried Chicken Fingers with fries and a Side Salad. Our food was so hot and freshly made when we got it! The chicken fingers were so soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside! If I go back I’d definitely get them again since I love a chicken finger/tender moment. The chicken and dumplings tasted just like chicken pot pie filling without the veggies, which I thought was so good. All in all we had a great meal. Parking outside is pretty easy. The restaurant is a part of a complex with a lot of other things and the whole complex has lots of free parking spots. Very convenient!

We were passing through Ringgold and had to stop here to eat. I'll be honest, I only chose it because Effie was my Grandmas name. She was my Mamas mother and so kind and sweet. I wanted to surprise my Mama and bring her here. We loved the food, the service and my Mama said "that Effie can cook." Lol! My husband got a large burger, my Mama got beef liver and onions and I got tur turkey melt with tator tots. Everything was delicious!! We will definitely eat here again when we visit Ringgold. We loved this town and everyone was so friendly here.

2nd time trying this place. The chicken casserole was fire, but be aware they're skimpy with the crumbs on top.. Catfish filets are huge** & tasty, but tastes & looks more like cod, also has a very thick, hard crust. Mashed potatoes & gravy are amazing. Tea is also made right. The fried potatoes with onions were cold, however. Fried chicken was good. Beans, greens, & mac n cheese are not bad. One of our butter packs were served to us opened & unusable. Cornbread was great.

We had lunch at the old location by the interstate several years ago and the food was quite good. A tornado demolished that location and the restaurant reopened in it's present location on main street. We finally got to have lunch there and it was very good! It has a much larger dining area with 2 rooms instead of 1. We arrived around 2pm and they were still fairly busy! I had a small cheeseburger and my wife had a Philly sandwich both of which were very good. We will return some evening for their dinner special!

Nothing quite like a meat and three for comfort food while travelling. I'd read review that recommended the fried pork tenderloin and the review was absolutely accurate... SCRUMPTIOUS!! The sweet potato casserole and the corn fritters were also off the chart tasty. Like most good meat and three restaurants, it's not a fancy place, but there's a little more satisfying than a good selection of mix and match meat and vegetable choices. And it's a nice stop to get off the highway for a moment. We will probably stop by again when we're traveling to Atlanta again.

We sit for almost an hour an a half after waiting for an hour to be seated and never got a refill on drinks and still never got our food. We finally just got up and left. Several groups came in after we did got their good and left. The one and only time we habe been but will be our last. I do not recommend it unless you have a half day to waste to wait.

I got the Tom Yum soup, which was absolutely delicious. It awakens your taste buds. A tad bit too salty. But I think it might have to do with asking for it to be medium spicy (hot). Huge portions. I got to taste the pineapple fried rice with shrimp and the chicken pad Thai. Both were delicious but the pineapple fried rice was out of this world. Great customer service, atmosphere, and a clean and organized establishment. I recommend you give it a try.

This is Ringgold's hidden gem! The food is amazing. When I have guests from out of town, I am always sure to make time for Baan Thai. Red Curry and Pad Thai are 10/10, but I have had many items, and you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu.

I gave my rating because I ordered yellow curry with no onion to go. Got home and has lots of onions. Don’t want to drive back so im out of luck. Check your to go food before leaving is my advice!!! Also, they are chincy with the rice! In my pictures I had to separate the onion and took out all the other ingredients out of the sauce. Yellow curry for $17 gave me this tiny bit. Could get more food ANY where else for the price

So I'll preface by saying the staff are very sweet and the fact everything is made fresh to order is also a nice perk. However the menu aside from the curries are very basic. We ordered sushi and pho with beef. The pho was nearly 20 dollars and all it had was been sprouts, Asian meat balls, the beef, Basil and a lime. Though once we added the ingredients along with hoison sauce and chili oil the flavors began to blend and tasted good, but the broth didn't have much complexity and the added meat was barely worth it. It was lacking in complexity and depth, as well as the quantity of meat. It also didn't have enough noodles for the amount of broth left. The sushi is very basic, they only have crab or spicy crab and basic avocado and California rolls. Once again a little bland. However everything was very fresh and we were satisfied, but it left us wanting more bang for our buck.

What a treat. Found this gem on our drive thru town. Was looking for coffee but found one of the what full breakfast menus I’ve had in a long time. Everything was excellent. But the pancakes (flapjacks) were amazing. Best I’ve had in a very long time. And the prices were soo reasonable for the amount of food we got. Highly recommend visiting the locally owned small business.

This charming little diner tucked just off the road is a great spot to grab breakfast. The portions are generous, and there’s a solid variety of options to choose from. The only thing that didn’t quite hit the mark for me was the coffee—it tasted extremely sweet, which is probably on me since I ordered one with chocolate, caramel, and hazelnut syrup. I had mistaken the syrups for flavoring, but even so, it’s not something I’d order again. Everything else my boyfriend and I tried was delicious, and the servings were so large that I couldn’t even finish my meal—which is always a plus!

I am not a review writer, BUT I wanted to share my experience here. I grew up in Ringgold but now only get back a few times a year. This is my place to meet up with a friend when I’m in town and every time, I get jealous that it isn’t local to me. The food and coffee are amazing, but the staff and atmosphere are what makes this place great. Because I’m there catching up with a friend, we’re there for a while. Even though we’re arguably overstaying our welcome, they are so welcoming and kind and make us feel at home. I’ve been here a few times over a couple years. The food is consistently good and the people are consistently nice. Definitely worth your visit.

We got here at 5:30 on a Sunday afternoon just before the crowd came in plus the service & food was excellent. Great place in Ringgold, Ga right by the old railroad depot on the main drag through town so lots of exposure for folks to give it a try. My House Special Calzone had sooo much piping hot cheese and meats and veggies! The Hawaiian pineapple pizza was heavenly and the Stromboli spinach and feta cheese absolutely delicious. First time here and we're planning on a return visit in very near future! Revisited recently solo and had a Grecian style chicken on rice that comes with Greek salad and bread sticks with marinara sauce. Delicious!

A country barbecue restaurant that is always packed when I drive by. I finally decided to stop in today and check it out. It was a full house with lots of conversations going on throughout the place. It was obvious most of the customers were regulars and knew each other. I ordered the pork barbecue sandwich a side order of onion rings and a sweet tea. No complaints on the food everything was delicious and the sweet tea was spot on. I'll definitely be going back.

We visited here several years ago and the brisket was fantastic, so being in the vicinity we thought we would stop here again, we ordered brisket potato salad and cold slaw. We asked for a few pickles and were told by the waitress we would be charged for a side. My wife loves pickles, so I said OK. Am I glad I did! The pickles were the best part of the meal. The beef byproduct that was sent out of the kitchen was hard and dry. I've eaten beef Jerky that was more tinder than this. Potato salad and slaw had little or no flavor. Other food might be OK but AVOID the BBQ.
