    Birthday dinner for my daughter. Sat outside upstairs on covered patio. Food was very good and service was good. Would liked inside table but not available as sun was bright and in eyes of some of party. Live music playing below in outside eating area but it was too loud making conversation difficult.

    My steak Frita came out and was still mooing I ordered medium well and it came out rare the meat was purple and looked like raw meat. I told server and she brought pieces of steak back to kitchen to up cook. Me being a serve safe certified teacher explained to server that was not health code. When food hits the table it is considered dead food and should not be brought back to the kitchen. A new piece of meat should have been offered or a different replacement meal. I asked her to pack up the pieces she brought back to the kitchen for an up cook. I lost my appetite when I seen this practice being done right in front of me. No manager was contacted to come to my table. It is my experience being a previous area director for a larger food chain (Brinker Intl which own chilis Maggianos and other restaurants) that a manager should be touching tables especially a table who had a problem with their food and was still unhappy. There was no compensation offered or any plus one getting us to come back. We had just eaten at this restaurant two weeks ago and didn’t have this kind of experience. We eat out a lot but this experience was memorable in the wrong kind of way.

    We were seated immediately. We weren’t greeted for about 5 minutes or more. Bar was out of the draft beer we wanted. We ordered another with no problem. The food was fresh and delicious. I paid with cash and it was if the restaurant didn’t have change. It took the server forever to get change and the server didn’t give the type of change so that I could leave a tip so I had to ask the hostess to break a$20 which took a while and they didn’t have any tens. Overall it was a good experience. I suggest servers get equipped with change and how to give it so that someone can leave them a proper tip. We will be back. We love the food.

    Had family in town for 1 night and picked 1885 for dinner. It never disappoints. The shrimp and grits are always a hit, and the salmon was cooked perfectly. Our waiter was the best. We will be regulars here.

    Upon arrive to make my reservation, I had to wait an additional 15 minutes. I booked an outside seating and the waiter told me that unfortunately they didn’t have anymore outside seatings when specifically on the reservation it indicated that I had outside settings reserved. Anyhow, when I was seated, I waited at least 15/20 minutes until someone came to serve us. However, I left after waiting for so long.

    Mother’s Day lunch with my kids and my boyfriend. Gumbo and salads never came out. Entrees were served and my shrimp and grits were pretty cold. I usually don’t send food back but I had to. It was shift change and our first server was ready to get the heck outta Dodge. The second server could not get caught up. It was my first time there and I had high hopes. It was okay; not great.

    The only complaint I have is that I booked reservations well in advance for a party of 6. We were sat at a table that was meant for 4 adults. It was very crowded for 6 people and left little room for an appetizer and 4 entrees. The service was spot on and the food delicious but all of that was overshadowed by being uncomfortable.

    Went here after being out of town for several days. Perhaps we weren’t too hungry. The fried shrimp lacked flavor; the coleslaw had a ‘sour’ taste. The char burger was better than one we had out of town that was twice the price. We’ll continue to visit here.

    Food was excellent. Found the downstairs dining area to be very loud. Music level was up too high creating a somewhat stressful/high anxiety vibe with volume level and music selection. Would have a been a perfect dining experience otherwise.

    One of my favorite restaurants. Every time we go I try to get something different but I ALWAYS have to have the okra appetizer! My husband always gets the salmon because our preference is medium rare and they do it perfectly. If only they did frozen drinks . . .

    The last time we were there, my filet was ahhhh-mazing. This time, it was dry and unevenly cooked and I raved about the restaurant to my family....and I took them with me. SO, this time, unfortunately, it was subpar and I had my out-of-town parents with me. (We were celebrating my kids class awards). It won't deter us from coming again, but I won't get the filet again. It's too $$ to make that gamble.

    I frequent this establishment often due to its connivence to my home. We had exceptional service from our server Aaron. Extremely knowledgeable and recommended I try one of their specials. The meal was excellent! He was very intuitive to our needs. Service was by far the best I have had in years! Bravo. Regards Daniel

    Possibly the worst brunch in the area? I'm shocked actually... we've been here many times and always loved it. But it seems they've been going downhill. Food was just okay and nothing special. Could have made the same thing at home. Server was terrible. Took our drink orders then came back 10 mins later asking if we wanted anything to drink? She brought me a sweat tea which was meant for the table beside us at one point. Food tood forever to arrive and was cold. Needless to say, will never be back for brunch

    We absolutely loved our waitress Laura! She was fantastic and really friendly. My only complaint was the hostess. She was not at all welcoming and seem bothered by us even being there. This isn’t the first unwelcoming hostess I have come into contact with there either.

    We have had brunch several times at 1885 and tried their dinner menu. Thought I would get some authentic gumbo and Grits and shrimp but was disappointed. Very bland with nothing visible but rice and a little piece of sausage. The shrimp and grits was the same, with nothing visible but grits and six good sized shrimp that had no seasoning.

    I travel frequently, and whenever I am in Ooltewah for a few days, 1885 is always a definite "go to" for at least one dinner. Great food, friendly staff, good service. Always difficult to get a seat for dinner without a reservation. That speaks volumes !
