About the restaurant
Primo, which opened in the spring of 2014, is restaurateur Nathan Lindley’s tribute to his own North Chattanooga neighborhood, presented as a classic American-Italian neighborhood restaurant. Taking its culinary direction from the traditional Italian restaurants of the Northeast, Primo celebrates the rich and comforting dishes that were inspired by Italian cooking and influenced by American prosperity.
As a casual neighborhood bar and restaurant, Primo does not accept reservations for a specific time. A limited number of guests may guarantee a waiting table at the 5:00 opening each night. Also, throughout the night guests may call ahead to the restaurant at 423.602.5555 to be added to the waiting list. The dedicated staff and lively communal environment make for a short and enjoyable wait. Come see us soon.

We stop here every year on our trip to Chattanooga. Delicious, fresh food with wonderful service. We always get the 5:00 reservations (the only time reservations are accepted, all other times are walk in and wait until a table is ready) then go see the lights at Rock City.

Delicious! The flavors were amazing. Loved the crab special with the most amazing sauce. Order the golden beets for a fresh and light side. The strip with chimichurri was fantastic as well. Highly recommend!

I would note that the staff is excellent, which is probably the best thing Hennen's has to offer. There is no endless swarm of managers at Hennen's, as their waiters and waitresses know precisely what they are doing at all times. Essentially, whoever is training staff here might deserve a gold star. The food was delicious, yet I was slightly disappointed with the size of the Flounder serving, but it was still tasty. There is also a slight caution to the end of the NY Strip cuts as they can have an overwhelming flavor in those pieces of fat, which could catch people off guard.

Our server was amazing! She probably filled my glass of tea (very good tea btw) at least 7 times! Me and my date got the garlic steak with fries and mashed potatoes! Everything was amazing including dessert!

The Ruth’s Chris tradition of custom-aged, USDA prime steaks, served with the signature sizzle and legendary hospitality, thrives in Chattanooga. Start your unforgettable dining experience with the signature Shrimp Remoulade, featuring chilled jumbo shrimp and a classic Creole house-made dressing. For your entree, indulge in an extraordinary cut of steak such as the tender, juicy Filet or a classic New York Strip. If it’s seafood you fancy, indulge in a fresh Maine lobster.

Josh our server was outstanding! He was knowlegeable about the food and made good suggestions. We had the shrimp and grits, green beans, and blackberry peach crisp. The shrimp and grits had just the right amount of heat, the green beans were flavorful, and the crisp was to die for!

Very good! They work with the hotel to give you credits and a nice discount if you book a room. The food was great, the vibe was very warm and inviting, drinks strong, and staff helpful. I recommend you eat there at least once during your stay.
