The vibe is unhurried and welcoming, perfect for lingering over coffee and pastries with friends, backed by staff who are genuinely knowledgeable and attentive to allergies. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast or a leisurely lunch, the silently delicious food and warm service make it the kind of place locals keep returning to, with loyal fans even making the trip between their Chattanooga and Atlanta locations.

The service was wonderful. The food was a silently delicious. Truly knocked my socks off! Nearly the entire menu is gluten free. I got fried mushrooms, fried green tomatoes, a blackened chicken burger with fried okra and fried jalapeño’s, and fried chicken and Mac n cheese. Everything was amazing. 10/10 recommend for everyone with a gluten intolerance or celiac. This kitchen is safe and dedicated to gluten free goods.

I'm not used to having options. I got gluten free chicken and waffles, which I have never had a chance to have unless I made it myself, cheesy grits and tiramisu. The food was absolutely delicious. I left full, fat, and happy. No tummy issues which is amazing in itself.

Bantam & Biddy was such a great find! The fried mushrooms were absolutely delicious — perfectly crispy on the outside and full of flavor, filled with a dollop of pimento cheese... definitely a highlight of the meal. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles and loved every bite, especially the unique twist of having bacon cooked right into the waffle. On top of the great food, I was impressed by how many gluten-free and vegan options were available in their bakery area. It’s clear they’ve put thought into making sure there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Friendly service, tasty food, and inclusive options make this a spot we’ll definitely return to next time we’re in Chattanooga!

Amazing dinner tonight! Just stopped by the Chattanooga location since the Atlanta location never fails. Tough contest! Both are amazing! Staff was knowledgeable about allergies. Everything but tortillas and biscuits can be made gluten free. Highly recommend the fried green tomatoes with seasoned goat cheese!

I couldn’t rate this place highly enough. Service was exceptional, very friendly. I got a GLUTEN FREE banana bread waffle and GLUTEN FREE fried tenders! If you’re gluten free, then this is the place for you- so many options and delicious. My partner had French toast (not gluten free) and also really enjoyed his meal. 10/10
