We love Longhorn! They have classic (delicious) diner fare cooked and served by some of the nicest ladies you will find.Their waffles are the bomb - crispy, fluffy, a little chewy (in the best way), buttery.The atmosphere here also cant be beat. Classic, friendly, cozy, and local. This place has been around for a long time (I have fond memories of coming here with my grandma when I was little) and I hope it sticks around so I can bring my kids someday.FYI - seating is limited, so I think this is best for a cozy meal with your favorite person. But, there are larger tables outdoors.

One of my favorite places for years. Food always good served fast and hot by a friendly staff.

Great breakfast and service!

Great food.. awesome atmosphere.. its got me 😄

Probably the worst breakfast i’ve ever had. First, it smelled like an ash tray.I got scrambled eggs, grits, bacon, and toast. The eggs were tough and weird. Grits and toast weren’t on the plate. Asked for them and got the grits but still no toast. Fiancé got an omelette and he couldn’t even eat it. For 3 people it was over $30 and we all got water. ?? also it’s off putting to watch the employees touching all the food bare handed and microwaving stuff. Idk, just a little too grunge for me.

Great breakfast! Everyone loved it. Everytime we stay the night in Chattanooga we have to stop and eat here.

Fast and friendly service, great food and very reasonably priced. I had the corned beef hash with eggs over medium and the hash browns. Phenomenal!

Great food, great menu, and great and friendly staff. Prices were awesome! Best hidden secret around for brunch!!!

I had never ate there till today i hot grilled cheese fries and got taste if the hamburger it was all good the grilled cheese made me have a flashback of when i was a kid it was at pennys in North Dalton so for this place to bring that back i will go back and check breakfast

Prices on receipt higher than menu. Lots of microwaved and prepackaged food. Watched waitress handle toast with her bare hands. Wouldnt recommend. Pictured is my $9.99 hamburger that turned into $12.50. Yum?

Burger was good but really really small.

This place is easy to overlook, but once you finally discover it, youll definitely be back. Its a classic diner feel, and the food is great. Give it a shot!

I have loved it for 43 years.

I am a new resident of Chattanooga. I am writing this review for people like me who have just relocated to Chattanooga. I will keep this kind. This is NOT A PLACE FOR NEW RESIDENTS TO DINE, PERIOD. It appears to be for folks who have lived here for much of there lives, locals before I arrived..(:Seriously, to new Chattanoogans, DO NOT EAT HERE. The food is really, really bad. The worst food I have had in many years in a diner or restaurant. It was prepared horribly and seemed to be stale food products to use for cooking. I ordered a simple breakfast of eggs, grits toasts and bacon. The restaurant needs to be DEEPLY cleaned and is very dirty.

This is the definition of old school. The building, the food style, the management.The food is good. This isnt to be compared to restaurants of the new age industry who compete in a world of food luxury.This is back to the grind, the old world, come and eat food - food is necessity.I had a very friendly experience here and I recommend it to you.

Great Diner style foods. Great service

First time in Chattanooga great place to cook to order food...i got breakfast. Staff real friendly.

Yall support this Lil Chattanooga gem!!! Home-cooked like your Mama makes----breakfast straight to the point. Nothing fancy but oh so good. The employees are real nice, hard-working people. Not open all day and seating is limited.

Great food! However, the service was bad and our waitress was extremely rude.

Absolutely perfect. Wonderful old-school diner that appears to appeal to locals. Over heard locals reminiscing about old football games. Enjoyed it very much

Our favorite little dinner. We often do family breakfast here. The staff is always very friendly and the food is delicious. Our little one loves the blueberry waffle and we love the biscuits and gravy.

Great food and service!

Great place for breakfast. The staff is also lightning fast. You can be in and out in as little as 12 minutes

Great food and service. Wonderful atmosphere. The country fried steak and gravy out of this world. Yum!! The country fried steak I got hash browns, eggs + biscuits and gravy. Yum it was all good. Southern style cooking. My favorite. 5 stars. Definitely good food and worth stopping in to eat big or small. The service makes it worth stopping in here to eat and visit awhile.

Hands-down the worst breakfast I have ever eaten. Omelet was made from one egg and the watery grits were served cold and had to be microwaved. I was expecting a quaint, nostalgic experience, but had to settle for awful food, unclean surroundings and very unfriendly service. Maybe I hit them on a bad day, but I dont plan to return.

Great cozy diner! Small and comfortable, the wait staff checked on me regularly, refilled my water and coffee often. Had eggs, sausage biscuit, and a waffle, and everything tasted great. Biscuits were made from scratch and flaky, sausage patty was large and delicious. Well-priced, too! Great breakfast for a great price!

This place gets a bad rap for looking old. Well guess what? Its been there forever doing the exact same thing its doing today. Slinging up delicious, made to order, cheap breakfast. If you want avocado toast, this is not your place. If you want southern style, down home bacon and eggs then give this place a try.

Always great food and service here on our trips to Chattanooga.

Love this place! Really clean organized. Great food and service.

Good breakfast. Waitress was very good & enjoyable. They need to pay a bit more attention to cleaning. It was slow & messy.

Unique and charming, Jet Age modern architecture is a great way to enjoy eggs and grits.

Smallest hamburger I ever had. But the fries where good

Great food good prices and staff was very helpful on getting orders taken and put in to the cook. An excellent experience over all.

Quick, cheap, and tasty food! Mostly breakfast items with a little lunch too. I got an old school waffle house feeling here. Only complaint is being charged a convenience fee to pay with a credit card. Aside from that, would recommend this for anyone looking for a relaxed meal.

The Long Horn is one of the last great original places left on the North Shore. Tucked in between new and up coming businesses and shiny condos, this icon of Chattanooga still stands firm after almost 60 years. The food, is amazing and delicious it truly can remind one of grandmas cooking from there childhood. I will always recommend this restaurant to locals and travelers alike.

Good breakfast, friendly staff, great prices

Food was tasty, come out quick, and staff were friendly and fast to assist. Great place to grab a quick bite!

This was my first time there. It is a small place with counter seating and two person booths, maybe a few four seat booths.I didnt stay beyond getting a cup of coffee.The service was excellent, but the coffee was weak. I will give them another try based on the service.

My experience here was great. I was a little worried when I saw other reviews and it looked like they had had a bad health inspection at one point, but the food was decent. Best to get a meal because ordering side items can add up. But service was nice and breakfast was decent. Pleased with our meal.

Cute spot nice waitress DELISH pancakes

Before I retired this was my regular breakfast stop - they fix it they way you want it (or sometimes order what you want - eat what you get :-). It is always good, basic breakfast. Sadly now I can only get down there a couple times a month. Good wholesome American breakfast. Try the corned-beef or Western Omelet, favorite is still Chicken Fried Steak and eggs or just plain biscuit and gravy. Thats the way to start the day.

Great breakfast cooked to order with great atmosphere. First visit since 2010 and everything was the same, great food and service. Thank you Long Horn!

Waitress was really nice. The place reeked of cigarettes, we left and to go home and change. The corned beef hash was out of a can and tasted horrible.

A nice restaurant for breakfast or lunch. The waffles here are better than The Waffle House. Bigger and softer. Plus, this place has a blueberry waffle, but The Waffle House discontinued theirs. The sausage patties here are about double the size of those at other places.The food is all quickly prepared to order and the staff are very nice.They have newspapers available for reading and music playing popular hits. No TVs.The seating areas are small. The booths only hold 2 people max. And there rest of the seating is stools at the food bar.The prices are very economical. A great full service meal, for not much money.The one drawback, is that they charge 75 cents if you dont pay with cash. No matter how much you spend, they impose the fee on any card transaction.

Miss the friendliness of the old crew, but the environment is nice. Food was better with the old crew too especially the omelette. A little skimpy now. Still a decent breakfast. Please be friendlier!! I miss the old times bad

Ate lunch there today for the first times in years. The food was really bad and the 2 employees acted like the walking dead. I won’t be back, too depressing and I was hungry in an hour

Very cute retro style restaurant. The food is similar to waffle House and its delicious. Cooked to order so its hot and fresh. The atmosphere is like steeping back in time, we really enjoyed it.

Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name, and theyre always glad ya came! Best local food and people in Chatt. If you want a great breakfast and very fair prices too....this is it

Like stepping back in time, in a good way. Had a good Western omelette there.

Went for breakfast/lunch, and everything was perfect. Relaxed cozy atmosphere with food that’s real and real frikkin good too

A delicious little diner. The food was great and the service quick.

Overall a bad experience. The building is small, cramped, and uncomfortable. The tables and floor were very dirty, and there were crumbs all over the place. The service was awful. Our waiter was rude and unfriendly. They gave of a feeling of walking into someones kitchen and MAKING them cook for you. The food itself was nothing to write home about. The portion sizes were very small and the prices were too high. I would not recommend eating here.

Breakfast was pretty good. Service was not great honestly. But we came at the end of their breakfast rush and were somewhat forgotten about when it was time to clean up. Dont go with a large group, 2 top booths and bar seating only. Maybe 30 people capacity.

This is a small local diner, similar to Waffle House. We had breakfast when we went and everything came out just like we ordered it. I recommend this place to those who want a bit of a retro feel away from the hustle and bustle of downtown.

I paid $13 for 2 eggs, frozen biscuits, gravy and one very tiny fried pork chop which they didnt bread and didnt mention until I had my plate. Total rip off

Very friendly staff and patrons with a nice dinner atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food was bad. Eggs over medium should not have runny whites. Canned gravy with no appreciable amounts of sausage. Biscuits out of a box. Grits were nothing special. I went here looking for a good southern breakfast and left wondering why this place is so highly rated.

Reasonable food. Reasonable price.

Good food, nice people

I used to like coming here. Now it’s never clean, the food is average, and the wait staff looks at you sideways when you ask for silverware to eat the food that they just put on the table. Then they go bust a table before getting the silverware for the food that is in front of their customer. Just basics they don’t do well.And they charge $.75 to use a credit card in 2019.

Really friendly service and the burger I got tasted great and MUCH cheaper than some other places around Chattanooga. Highly recommend!!!

Excellent breakfast! I love the way the south does breakfast! Biscuits, Gravy & Grits. Dont forget that hash brown too! Yummy!

A breakfast institution. Been there forever, and always makes you feel like a regular.

Long Horn is a Chattanooga legend--for good reason. The staff is very friendly, and the food is very good and reasonably priced. Long Horn is our favorite place for breakfast before a Saturday exploring Downtown Chattanooga.

Nice people even met Rick Harrison there

Great little breakfast spot, decently priced, good food, and nice friendly service.

Great food at a very reasonable price. And the staff is friendly and has been here for years. My father ran into a friend of the family here in the 60s. That encounter led to his 30+ year career with Magic Chef. Chattanooga wouldnt be the same without family owned restaurants like Longhorns.

I got a very good breakfast in a nice environment with extremely amazing service.

Not a real clean place,people very nice, we has breakfast, it was fantastic,,,,

Got sick here! Atmosphere and location is nice but the food is overpriced and over-hyped. They dont make a single thing from scratch, just heat up pre-made ingredients which I could do at home. The owner is lovely but the rest of the staff are very flat and uninviting. I had a very disappointing burger last time I went and my stomach felt terrible for several days following my visit. Honestly not sure how this place has gotten so much attention over the years.

Mean lady screamed at me. Not so much what she said, it was the inappropriate way she said it. Wont be eating here!

Solid place for your hungover face. Like Waffle House but if your grandmother ran it. Sweet ladies, fast, no frills food and service.

Always a relaxing place to eat. they treat you like family

Great atmosphere and good food. Great staff.

Fast and friendly. Always a good experience. The griddle master is an artiste!

I am all about first impressions and this was a good one. Walk in and youre immediately greeted by the wonderful staff, warm country music in the background, and the awesome aroma of coffee and fresh waffles. The restaurant has been here since 59 and I can see why. The food is great amd the staff is outgoing and really makes sure that youre meal is perfect. Amd if not they will go the extra mile to make it better. Amazing experience and will deffinitely frequent this place.

Good basic food cheaper than waffle House

A Chattanooga staple. No frills, so if youre looking for fancy go elsewhere. This is a timeless place filled with timeless people.

Fine breakfast food and great location but too expensive for the food and they charge $0.75 for using credit cards. Southern Tradition is a way better deal.

Great food, great service, and great prices.

Would never eat here nasty place the smoke in that restaurant

Best biscuits and gravy! Warm, friendly staff. Great for a quick bite!

Great breakfast food with a nostalgic setting. There are not many places like this left!

Great service and great food at responsible prices

Great personal service in a quaint environment. Excellent good at reasonable prices!

Its like a North Shore Waffle House. Decent food. Nice friendly staff.

Frequent this place on weekends but had not come in for weeks but everyone was still very friendly the food was excellent the service was fast and they remembered who I was! Neighborhood kind of place, this is Chattanooga!!! Love this place.

Great local place to grab breakfast. Food is always great and service is truely southern hospitality.

Great Food, and historical place to eat!

We walked into the place and were greeted with greasy floors covered with old bits of food, the acrid stench of cigarette smoke, and a booth that was as equally coated in grime as the floor. We didnt bother to order and left immediately. Why this place has such a glowing reputation is a mystery.

Great service, awesome diner, I love the food and I have been coming here all my life.

Great food, love this place. A tiny piece of the past in this new millennium age.

Worst meal Ive almost had in a long time!!!!! I ordered a hamburger with no cheese, it came with cheese. The reorder came out & the fries werent cooked, I couldnt even break one in half & instead of just apologizing, the owner belittled me telling me thats how long they always cook the fries. Out first indication to leave should have been when the microwave kept dinging!!!!!

I love this place, the atmosphere is nice, loved the fresh orange juice and the breakfast was so delicious

Buffalo Bill, Butch Cassidy, Jesse James, Davey Crockett, every heard of them? Longhorn is not for the faint of heart. This is where true Americans eat breakfast. Coffee served black, bacon greasy, eggs scrambled. Yes maam, no maam to the ladies busting their humps for everyone in there. Owner hasnt put a penny into remodeling since 1950 when it first opened, so if you care more about the way it looks than the way it tastes, prance on over to Milk and Honey next door, Longhorn doesnt need your money. If the walls could talk they would tell you about the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK assassination, walking on the moon, MLKs I have a dream speech, Roe V Wade, Watergate, Reagan, The Cold War, Microsoft, Clinton and Lewinsky, Tupac and Biggies death, and so much more. Longhorn has been around since before most people reading this were born, and you better believe itll be there when theyre gone. Food for the soul will always last, and never waiver.

Great breakfast. A little run down on the inside, but worth the trip.

Not sure why its so awarded. I had other better breakfasts, similar style, but not on the famous Northshore.

Great small place

Excellent blueberry pancakes, a perfect Daddy Daughter date venue, the Signature Dish breakfast for $5-99 is an absolute winner and so is their country Fried Steak lunch for $10-49, friendly fast service, cleaner than a new car, a real jem !

First time in and the food was good! Biscuit and gravy hit the spot with my omelet!

Fine, but it lacks charm.
