Love the city and love this Restaurant - Edit
It reminds me a little bit of a typical alternative restaurant in Berlin. Very individual and minimalistic. The food is average. I like the options but the food is kind of underwhelming. I really liked that one dressing I had, but the rest was just okay.
Updated from previous review on 2017-05-31
Pros: minimalistic, good options
Cons: could be a little bit closer to the center , nothing special

My favorite punk rock hole in the wall - Edit
Sluggo's is my favorite place in the world to eat. It's a simple place run by cool people that are super relaxed and don't take themselves too seriously. Crazy music always playing, but never so loud you can't enjoy yourself. Cool graffiti outside and quirky art inside. Portions of food are so huge, you're going to be so full when you leave. Pretty rad that you can sit and eat on the deck when it's nice outside.
The Culture Club Deluxe is the best thing on the menu.
Pros: tasty, familiar foods for both veg and omni's , rotating daily specials, huge portions
Cons: a little on the expensive side, beer is pretty expensive, temperature can get very hot/cold depending on wea

Delicious! - Edit
My husband and I visited Sluggo's recently and were very pleased. My husband got the pecan crusted seitan, I had the Berliner (reuben) and we shared some hot wings (seitan). All our food was excellent, generous portions, and very reasonably priced. The restaurant is small and very "mom and pop" business. It's not shiny or modern or fancy, but it has good food at a good price. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We look forward to visiting again next time we are in Chattanooga!
Pros: tasty, outdoor seating, reasonably priced
Cons: small, order at counter, needs better signage

awesome - Edit
My husband and I were travel home to Atlanta from Nashville we had our dog with us and Sluggos was the perfect spot to stop. We were able to sit outside with the dog and feast on some awesome vegan food!

I love you, Sluggo's...But please veganize your beer! - Edit
The food at Sluggo's is killer. Diverse menu, large portions, always on point...I've been coming here for years, and have never been disappointed.
But Sluggo's, you would be so much cooler if you didn't have animal products in your beer list! :(
I still love you, and couldn't give you anything less than five stars, but I hope this is a change you're looking to make!
Pros: Delicious Food, Nice Vibe
Cons: Animal Products in Beer :(

Great Nachos - Edit
We visited Sluggo's North in July and ordered the wings, nachos, and pecan dusted seitan. Everything we tried was great, but I especially loved the nachos. Whenever I see vegan queso on a menu I order it, and Sluggo's did not disappoint. We will definitely visit again on future trips to Chattanooga.

great selection - Edit
Philly cheese seiten was great. Portions really are huge. It was hard to choose what to eat from such a large menu, but everything my party ordered was delicious.

Delicious food! - Edit
This place has great food! I was visiting this area and heard it is good, they did not disappoint! I went two days in a row, tried the Pecan Dusted Seitan, it was very good. Had the Sluggo's burrito the second day, also very good. Portion sizes are great and prices are definitely fair!

Great Food / Cleanliness a must - Edit
Every dish we've tried so has been superb. Favorite being pecan crusted seitan and the golden bowl. You get plenty for what you pay for. Only set back is cleanliness of the place. I'm not talking about decor, seating etc. Bathrooms filthy as well as outside seating and indoor dining area. It leaves one wondering if the kitchen is clean.
Pros: Excellent Food, Great Staff, Great Value for the price
Cons: Not clean

Best Vegan Buffalo Wings Ever - Edit
We stopped here driving through. The phone told us that there was a vegan place called Sluggo's. We were skeptical because of the name but we went anyway.
The food was among the best vegan food I've ever had. They even have a holiday catering menu with a vegan turduckin. If only they could ship it!
Everything was great and if we lived there, we'd be regulars.
Pros: Loved the wing., Everything was good though

All Vegan!! - Edit
This place is 100% vegan. Everything on the menu. The staff are very nice and the atmosphere is super chill. What a find in Chattanooga. I'm going back tomorrow for lunch. Today I had the seitan philly, salad with dill dressing and mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy. It was really good!!!

fun environment - Edit
Down to earth hippy joint with interesting food options.
The lentil burger with mash potatoes is good comfort food.
Potstickers are among the best I've had.
Pros: potstickers are awesome
Cons: don't do the seitan products especially, the wings

Yum! - Edit
Down home vegan eats! Sluggo's was the perfect reward after driving through a 600+ mile virtual vegan wasteland from the north. The prices are way reasonable and the portions huge! Everything we had tasted amazing... from the light and fluffy zucchini pancakes to the pecan dusted seitan to the fettuccine alfredo and the final slice of coconut cake! A must stop when passing through Chattanooga!
Pros: Vegan, Zucchini Pancakes

Awsome - Edit
We found this little gem of a restaurant and could not get enough of it. In our 4 days in Chattanooga we went there 3 times. Between the 4 of us we had a variety of dishes. They were call wonderful including the burritos. Quesadillas, seitan plate and chickpea burger. They do not have wine but do have great beer, including a Tennessee stout that paired with all meals perfectly.

What a gem! - Edit
Frustrated by spending all day in the car, I had little hope of finding anything for lunch on the ride to Atlanta. Decided to open the Happy Cow app and found that I was only 10 minutes from Sluggo's North.
Even though the signage says Sluggo's Vegetarian, everything is vegan.
Stood staring at the menu for a long time and it all sounded great.
Decided on the in-house made mushroom burger plate because the guy at the counter said it was good. Got the sweet potato mash as my side plus the salad.
When my plate came out, it was an explosion of color and food. The burger is great, loads of flavor and some crispy caramelized crusty goodness on the patty. The mash was also good and had an interesting flavor profile--more exotic (maybe cumin) than your typical Thanksgiving/brown sugar stuff.
The salad was fresh and the homemade Russian dressing was perfect in both the burger and salad.
Yum--turned a rather annoying day into a surprising treat.
Pros: all vegan menu, nice variety of food, large portion a
Cons: it's the middle of TN and its summer--it's hot in

Why support a regular joint when you can support a vegan joint?! This place was super tasty, lots of local offerings.

Sluggos is amazing! - Edit
Visited Sluggos North for the first time today while passing through Chattanooga. It was AMAZING! Very cool/hip ambiance - feels like a Starbucks meets street art vibe. The food was delicious! Although it seemed a little pricey, the portions were huge and well worth the money. It was everything I could have asked for, a true vegan/ vegetarian paradise. Menu is large with lots of choices. Try the Philly Seitan - it's top notch!
Pros: all vegan menu, large portions, hip vibe & friendly staff
Cons: limited parking, small seating space, no regular menu desserts

Would drive two hours for lunch - Edit
My husband and I LOVE Sluggo's! We've driven down from Nashville just for lunch! I always get the Culture Club with a side of beans and a salad with their tahini dressing. I've tried to recreate it at home but it is never just right. The sandwich is delicious too. Before going vegan a club was one of my go too menu items, so it is fun to have a place to get a good, compassionate one. My only complaint is that the guy taking our order (it has always been the same one) seems annoyed that we are in the restaurant. I promise we are not demanding or rude, and we've never been there when it is busy. It is kind of a turn off, but once those plates hit the table, all is forgiven. I wish they would open a Nashville location!
Update: I have moved on from the culture club and now love the lentil melt. The texture is so good and I love the mushrooms on it. The store has moved locations and is very nice now! Also, the rude guy from before has gotten much nicer. Sluggo's rules.
Pros: great food, tahini dressing

Best for hundreds of miles - Edit
This place is all vegan (even tho' name says Vegetarian) and the food is AMAZING. Seriously good, unique, and put together with thought and house-made sauces. My only regret is not eating there at least one more time during our 2 days in Chattanooga.
Pros: good value, great food, great atmosphere
