Kenny's Southside Sandwiches
1251 Market St, Chattanooga, TN
Crema's Take
“Kenny's Southside Sandwiches is a Chattanooga gem that brilliantly straddles the line between casual sandwich shop and craft coffee destination, earning serious love for both their impossibly good fried chicken and some of the town's best specialty drinks—particularly their iced matcha lattes and Bloody Marys. The sprawling outdoor seating and weekend brunch energy make it equally perfect for lingering over coffee with friends or grabbing a legitimately craveable chicken biscuit that locals swear is a meal unto itself. While the inside can get loud and lively, that's really just the sound of a neighborhood spot that's genuinely mastered the art of doing everything well, from slow-steeped morning sits to quick weekday lunch runs.”

The chicken is absolutely insane - so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Best Bloody Mary AND iced matcha latte in town. They truly can do it all! Good for a weekend brunch or for a weekday lunch with coworkers. Service is always great. Don’t skip the beignets!
It’s a little loud and echoing inside, service was great. There was no wait on Sunday morning… We all enjoyed our food choices. Biscuits are delicious. Sausage gravy could use a little more sausage. Our server was excellent. We Would definitely return
We stopped at a different restaurant first, where we were told they weren’t doing breakfast because the cook was sick. They recommended Kenny’s to us, just a couple blocks farther down the street. We were glad we went. I heard the waitress recommending the chicken biscuit a couple of times, and I wondered how good could it possibly be in a place like this? It was VERY GOOD! We both remarked how good the coffee was, too. Wish they had Splenda & hazelnut, but no big deal! The service was good, & very helpful. If we’re ever back in Chattanooga, we’ll have to look them up!
I had a great experience here. I was staying across the street at the hotel and noticed the great outdoor seating. This is one of the best chicken biscuits that I've ever eaten. It's a meal by itself. Perfect for brunch/lunch. Good coffee, friendly staff, good service. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great early morning meal or brunch.
Someone recommended we go here and after we browsed the menu online we decided to give it a try. Went for a late lunch on a Sunday and didn't walk away impressed. Although it's in a beautiful building the inside is somewhat bland. Got a turkey brie sandwich which was decent but had very little turkey on it, fried pickles werent crispy and quite soggy, but cocktails were good. If you're picky with your coffee, I'd skip it unless you were just to get drip because the cortado wasn't drinkable. $75 for lunch is quite high and we were hoping the food would be more up to par. Service was great though!
