River Drifters

River Drifters is a beloved family-owned American restaurant nestled in the Suck Creek community of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Owned by Charlie and Renee Eich, a husband and wife team who have spent most of their adult lives in the restaurant business, this charming eatery has earned its reputation as Chattanooga's favorite local spot. The restaurant features a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere perfect for unwinding after a long day on the water, with a spacious outdoor patio where guests can enjoy beautiful views and even bring their furry friends. The menu showcases an impressive variety of American comfort food classics, including their legendary double bacon cheeseburger with crispy onions, BBQ sauce, and jalapeños, the massive BBQ burger that keeps locals coming back, and the mouthwatering fried shrimp Po' boy loaded with remoulade, lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Other standout dishes include the Italian stallion sandwich, hearty bison burger, fresh fish tacos, creamy shrimp tacos, and the popular Reuben sandwich. House-made mozzarella sticks are a must-try – reviewers consistently praise their generous size and fresh preparation. The restaurant also offers catering services for events and hosts private parties in their inviting dining space. Open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 AM to 9 PM, and Fridays until midnight, River Drifters welcomes walk-ins and accepts online orders for convenient delivery or pickup.
