Chattanooga’s restaurant and retail scene is growing by the day! Here are our top 5 brand new or coming soon businesses to check out.  

Brand New! 

Red Sauce

14 W Kent St, Chattanooga, TN 37405
(423) 805-4733

After a very short-lived stint as a drive-thru coffee shop, this building on the corner of Kent Street finally found new life recently as Red Sauce, a casual Italian restaurant. This eatery’s aim is on yummy meatballs and craft cocktails with a “Brooklyn-meets-Philly-meets-Little Italy-meets-the 1960s-meets-Chattanooga” approach. Although currently we’re hearing some mixed reviews on the eatery, it’s not uncommon for a new place to need a minute to work out the kinks. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
