Sluggo's Vegetarian Cafe
505 Cherokee Blvd, Chattanooga, TN
Crema's Take
“Sluggo's is a vibrant vegetarian haven where creative vegan cooking (think buffalo seitan nachos) meets genuinely warm hospitality, all at prices that feel refreshingly fair. The energy here is infectious—friendly servers who actually know their stuff, hearty portions, and a basement karaoke bar that transforms weekends into something special, making it feel less like a cafe and more like the beating heart of Chattanooga itself. Whether you're vegan or not, this is the kind of place that surprises you with how good everything tastes and how much you want to linger.”

Amazing vegan food!! So fresh and well balanced on flavors. Prices are extremely fair! Highly recommend
The server was super friendly! She was attentive, which was impressive since it seemed like she was handling service all on her own! The food is all vegan. The Buffalo seiten and the nachos tasted amazing, especially their house-made cheeze. The French toast's crust tasted delicious but the downside was the bread (outside of the crust) was doughy still. The bread on the reuben was a bit soggy but the sandwich still tasted pretty good. The building itself has a cool vibe, lots of activist decor to look at.
This is Chattanooga distilled to its purest form. Absolute gem of a restaurant. 1000% recommend whether you're vegan, vegetarian or not. Plus they have a karaoke bar in the basement on the weekend, fantastic vibe with the best people in Chattanooga. Ash and Terry are wonderful hosts. Highly recommend visiting here, you will love it!
We went to Sluggo’s on our family vacation, so there was a lot of energy there :) and the server was very friendly, energizing, fun and knew what she was talking about! The food was so good. Everything was vegan, so it was a pleasure to look over the menu! We got lots of sandwiches, vegan wings, the chili and two platters as well. It all came out in a timely manner! Highly recommend!
Cheerful little spot. Friendly service. Food selections were hearty helpings and tasty. Disappointed as we selected this place based on the online lunch menu. Did not realize that the Sunday brunch menu was all that would be available until 3 pm. Small establishment for small parties of two and a few four. Limited selections available. Not what we had in mind for a 2 pm meal but made the best of it.
