Well, Hello!

Old Man Rivers Table & Tavern is a small eco-conscious neighborhood tavern serving elevated, local Southern cuisine and full-service bar featuring creative cocktails and local beers and wine. Located at the foot of Signal Mountain, we are invested in developing relationships with folks in our neck of the woods from Mountain Creek Road, Signal Mountain, Red Bank, and Suck Creek.

We offer traditional dining for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. Our chef selects local sustainably resourced products and in-season vegetables, so our dinner menu rotates weekly and lunch menu daily. Each week’s menu is uploaded to our website each Wednesday before 11am.

Our focus is on people and our mission is to provide a small friendly atmosphere to facilitate meaningful and fun in-person exchange over drinks and locally sourced delicious food. We ask that our customers unplug from their digital devices and connect to each other and our small staff of servers and bartenders, and perhaps enjoy an old fashioned, the Old Man Rivers way.

Our bar area offers streaming services to air local and regional sporting teams and events, premier league soccer, and will be Chattanooga’s spot to cheer for the Irish.

✨On this episode of Old Man Rivers, the boss learns Social Media✨ - With the challenge that our bar and social media manager Rachel is leaving OMR, Rivers had to take a crash course in the latest technology. From flip phone to touch screen, is the world ready for Rivers to take over social media? ❤️ - @verizon ad? 📸: @rachoftrades
These two photos have one difference- can you find it? It should be pretty obvious, cause Rachel will be missed! 🥹 - Rachel has been our bar manager since the day we opened and now she’s proudly moving on in her beverage career to @gate11disti
These two photos have one difference- can you find it? It should be pretty obvious, cause Rachel will be missed! 🥹 - Rachel has been our bar manager since the day we opened and now she’s proudly moving on in her beverage career to @gate11distillery 🥂After over 10 years in the distilling industry, she’s brought us a lot of alcohol knowledge and back of house expertise. She hit some major milestone moments at OMR, like hosting her rehearsal dinner here. On a typical day you could find her both lunch and dinner tableside, but then quickly she’s into the kitchen and through to dish doing whatever she does. In fact she wears so many hats here that she is currently talking about herself in third person while posting on social media…. 🥲 - So here’s some words from Rivers: “I cannot begin to describe what Rachel has meant to this business... but I’ll try: Work = force X distance. No matter what level of crazy weeds we were ever in I knew that with Rachel we could always work our way out. She’s driven our bar program to a height that will be difficult to maintain and is now the next big challenge for me in this business. Her energy in the building made everyone else step up their game…or else they would just be in her way. It’s just not easy to be lazy around her! She will be missed, but this certainly won’t be the last we see of the Rachel. Now close it with “that’s right” *sang in Alan Jackson tone*” ❤️ - You can grab one last drink from Rachel this week Wednesday, Thursday or Friday during dinner! 🍻

We still get “Imposter Syndrome” sometimes… 🍽️ - This must be a daydream…But seeing and tasting Chef’s food reminds us just how much we have pushed as the little restaurant that could! 💭 - We push ourselves to be the best that we can be every day and, of course, we push the boundaries of food & service, as we’re still innovating our menus 73 weeks in. There’s so much more to come- We didn’t come this far just to come this far! ❤️
❤️HAPPY CATURDAY! 😻 - Things we love here at OMR: 1. HEALTHY EATS 🍽️ - Did you know we don’t have a Fryer or Freezer?! 2. A GOOD DEAL 💰 - Turns out we aren’t great at making money, but we are fantastic at making food!! 3. HAPPY PEOPLE ☺️ - It just so happens when you combine good food and affordable prices it makes for really happy people! - Every day we offer a Daily Rotating Lunch Meat & Two for only $9.95! It includes one protein and two health-conscious sides: one starch and one seasonal vegetable. And though these daily deals rotate, every Saturday we serve up our affectionately known, “CATURDAY”, offering blackened pan-seared catfish! 🎣 - Come on down and grab yourself a lunch packed full of the energy you need. We can’t wait to make you happy! 😻

🍻PROST for OKTOBERFEST!🍻 - From September 25th to October 6th, Old Man Rivers is celebrating Oktoberfest! - Feeling inspired by Rivers’ experiences at local places like Chattanooga Brewing Co and Brewhaus, our OMR Oktoberfest has loads of festbiers, Bratwurst & Schnitzel, and of course we can’t miss an opportunity to dress up around here! 🌭 - Well what is Oktoberfest? There are many myths to its origin, like that the beer was stored longer over the summer or that the fest was intended for royal marriages. Mostly the German September-into-October festival is all about celebrating the start of fall with friends and a malty beer to cheers!🍁🍂 - In fact, we have a lot to celebrate about over here! When OMR won @chattanooga Best of the Best New Restaurant last week, we felt we had reached a long awaited milestone. Rivers and Chef have known each other for over 20 years, starting at Mellow Mushroom as just kids. All of these past restaurant experiences have inspired what is OMR today. For these two long-standing best friends to now own a restaurant together is a very indescribable and proud-fully awaited accomplishment! 🍕 - So friends, come on by (maybe with some lederhosen on) and celebrate this moment with us! ❤️
BEST NEW RESTAURANT!!! 🎉 - Thanks to YOU @chattanooga we have been voted the BEST NEW RESTAURANT of the voter’s choice! That means our hometown really thinks greatly of what we are doing over here at Old Man Rivers. The journey of running a successful restaurant, and in a city full of them, is not an easy challenge. It is the big wins like this one that keep this small place striving to be better and doing what we do each day! 🥹 - This win would have never happened without our support systems, like our hardworking team, family & friends, and all you who had an experience at OMR and felt we deserved this title! 🏆 - Most importantly, this success would have been IMPOSSIBLE without CHEF ANDREW MILLSAP 🍽️ He is a craftsman who dedicates every ounce of effort and love into what he does everyday. The result is a five star dish that makes people feel something - so much so that they return for it again, lean into the kitchen to share words of gratefulness, or even cry in his arms… - Every day here is a different episode of turning on the lights, serving up delicious food, and having a lot of fun! Thank you to everyone who has been apart of making the dreams of this small house come true as the 2024 BEST NEW RESTAURANT of Chattanooga❤️ - - 📸: @rachoftrades

We may have tavern in the name, but here at OMR we have an appreciation for nice things!🍸 - In fact we love @gate11distillery craft Gin so much we are celebrating Negroni Week with them! A Negroni is a classic cocktail comprised of Gin, Sweet Vermouth, and bitter Campari. This week we are running a special with a local twist: @bitter.bottle Pimenta Allspice bitters! 😍 - Gate 11’s Gin is packed with fresh floral flavors. It’s our “well” gin because it’s a high ingredient craft spirit at an affordable price made right here in our hometown. Back in the spring, our team toured the distillery, located in the historic Choo Choo. Bill & Wanda are passionate people making an array of spirits, including an Agave spirit Salazar! 🥃 - Nuzzle up to our bar for a Negroni, or if you haven’t been down to the distillery then this Week is just your sign! ❤️
