“Usually when we try a new place, as we have been lately, we secretly hope, especially on more expensive places, that we won’t like the food or the food wouldn’t be good, therefore we won’t want to keep coming back and spending the money. Fortunately for 2nd American, the food was delicious, unfortunately for our pocketbook, we might have to come back. Please enjoy the photos of the delicious food! The NY strip was to die for and the grasshopper cake was out of this world. Excellent service and a great atmosphere as well!”

“This place is great. The food, service, and atmosphere are delightful. The parking situation isn't ideal, but it's downtown Chattanooga, almost all parking seems ridiculous. This is most certainly on our date night rotation. Always a fresh new menu.”

“This is my new favorite restaurant in Chattanooga. This was such an incredible meal! Appetizers: Bacon wrapped quail, Tomato pie, and the Sausage cheddar biscuits. Entree: Braised rabbit and pork belly Cocktail: Over under Thank you Chef Lindley and the entire 2nd American team for an unforgettable dining experience!”

“The staff, ambiance, and food is top tier! Adam was a great server. The veggies did it for us. The turnips, mashed potatoes, and black-eye peas took us home. The rabbit, elk sausage, and chicken were prepared very well. The carrot cake was delicious!! Ohhhh the rolls…. a must!! Thank you for waking up my taste buds. Happy 50th to me!!!”

“If you are wanting a fancy romantic dinner,with absolutely incredible food you have to come here. The atmosphere is perfect and the food is Só incredible my husband and I travel around the world and genuinely this food here was some of the best we’ve ever had. Love the concept of enjoying American food without it being burgers and fries. If I was visiting America for the first time I’d say this place can’t be missed. And the service was absolutely amazing it’s rare to have actual kind serves these days and everyone there seemed happy to be there. Parking is street parking. The cut of steak I had that is common in south America was probably the best steak I’ve ever had and massive portion sizes I could even get through half. It melts in your mouth without being too greasy and has a good bite to it! All of it was amazing and so fresh The dessert was amazing the grasshopper was so fresh and perfectly sweet unlike many American treats that are too heavy on sugar these were light and delicious and tried to the flavor. Their sorbet was the best texture and flavor it was as good as the ones I’ve had in Italy that I never thought I’d have again till I visited Italy. Anyways I could go on and on but my husband and I loved this place and will absolutely visit and bring friends. If you’re trying to pick from all the other popular places in Chattanooga ,go here. You will not regret it.”
