After the growth and love we felt in our Senoia location, we knew it was time to expand.

Our passion for creating special moments has adopted a passion for taking old iconic buildings and turning them into one of a kind, unique places to create those moments in.

Chattanooga is no exception. We've taken this space at the Choo Choo and kept it as authentic as we could while adding our Nic & Norman's story throughout.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

    Food presentation was excellent. Meals were delicious. Service was prompt. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the music. When I ate here before, the music was crooners and I really loved it. This time is was hard rock type music and it didn’t fit with the decor of the place. Otherwise the experience was wonderful.

    My husband and I went with his parents and had a lovely time. We were only bummed because we had asked for a booth when we arrived (we had reservations we made online) and were told they were reserved for big parties only. This alone would have been fine though when we sat at our table we saw a booth right by us being used by another party of four. The other booth of the three was left empty the whole time we were there and the last one in our section was empty as well until we were about to leave. Otherwise our seats were okay still and it didn’t spoil our evening, just would have made the experience that much better. The food was all cooked well and had delicious flavor (I had the mic n chicken myself) and the added soft live music playing in the background also made the ambiance very pleasant. I would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting a nice evening out.

    My husband's fish sandwich with fries was great. My granddaughter's cheese pizza and fried okra was great. I ordered the Nic & Norman's salad with grilled salmon. The salad was huge and tasty, but the salmon was a pathetic 4 oz portion (they said it was 4 oz) which was less than the size of a playing card. I asked why I was only give a half piece of salmon. I was told it was all they offered for this salad. I could purchase more salmon for $6 additional cost. Other restaurants serve a normal size portion of salmon on salads. Nic & Norman's needs to get with what diners are getting everywhere else we go. It ruined my lunch.

    Great restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Reservation is the way to go if you are planning a dinner before a concert. They filled up pretty quickly after we arrived. Food was good. Drinks a little pricey for the size of the glass. Overall great place to dine.

    Overall, a reasonable choice for food. Nothing special, we tried some of the gourmet burgers, nothing gourmet about them at all. Just a regular burger you can find just about anywhere in Chattanooga. We sat outside on a lovely evening which was nice, only service issue was that the server brought a different beer upon asking for a second. Wouldn’t be in a rush to go back, lots of great options in Chattanooga

    Not a bad venue or meal by any means. It was good, but not, 'Oh, my gosh' good. While I wouldn't mind eating here again, I'd be more interested in trying another restaurant.

    Honestly thought this was going to be an awesome spot- I’m new to town but sadly this was a rest strange experience. Wait staff looked really unhappy and the car was blaring the radio over already playing music which was disorienting. But I mean if you love Norman Reedus go for it
