Near the Convention Center, walking distance..Buffet style,charges vary as you pay by weight.. had the fish..pinto beans , cornbread , and some of the best potato salad I have ever had , and sweet tea... even with the tip, it was less than 12.00$...definately will be back...

I love this place, that's why I'm giving it five stars. But omg, if the blue plate special of the day is ever fried chicken, BLT salad, black eyed pea salad, and collard greens, DO NOT ORDER IT. The BLT salad was weak and unappetizing. The black eyed pea salad was served cold and had a vinegar base--SO not appealing. And dude, I don't know what was up with these collard greens, but they were horrible. They taste like they were prepared with sugar. Literally everything I've ever had there has been great. But this is one blue plate you definitely need to avoid.

I am traveling with my children (ages 8 and 10) and my parents. Southern Star's menu provided enough options to satisfy all of our food preferences, which is a tough order with kids who rarely enjoy eating at the same restaurant 😂 Southern Star offered the the absolute BEST food and service of all the restaurants we ate at during our family vacation! It was so good that we ate there two days in a row! The macaroni and cheese was a big hit as was the fried squash, beets, pork tenderloin and fried chicken. If they offer a baked apple and cheese dish, take the risk and try it! You will be delightfully surprised. Also, do not pass on the desserts! They are just like the ones my grandmother would make when I was a child some 30 years ago. In a word, this is my all time FAVORITE restaurant. I would come back to Chattanooga just to eat here!

We really enjoyed our visit. The fried green tomatoes were crispy and quite tasty. the shrimp was huge and cooked well. I didn't care for the stuffed tomato. All in all for the price it was a good meal.
