Bea's Restaurant

Bea's Restaurant Chattanooga's Original Chicken Joint: Since 1950 Bea's is a southern restaurant serving all homemade menu items on Lazy Susan tables. Good Food.

We are owned and operated by the same family including grandchildren and great-grandkids of Bea herself. Four generations have worked to keep our food honest, real and true to its roots. Now, with the fifth generation becoming old enough to begin working at our place we reinforce what is truly important. God
Family
Hard and honest work. We are proud to be a part of the fabric of Chattanooga. It's

humbling and exciting to part of something bigger than ourselves and to pass on the tradition to our family, and yours.

Chicken and potatoes are in. New make up air units are on the way. Putting a small ac unit in our proofing room today. Let's get it. And yes we are ordering the goods to do burnt ends Sunday.

Should we do pork belly burnt ends sometime? I want to. Just looking for your yays, neighs, or opinions of them. It seems like a natural fit for us.

Watcha think?
