Little Libby's Catfish Diner

Daniel and I have come to the conclusion that we must be getting old. Yesterday, we stopped at Mellow Mushroom for lunch in Jones Valley (Huntsville) before heading home after church. It was loud, crowded and the food was just "okay." Typically we love Mellow Mushroom, but listening to a ballgame that is on TV screens every 4 feet above our heads is not our cup of tea. The only redeeming thing was that it was kind of cute to watch Jack clap every time other patrons clapped and yelled over a good play. Maybe this has more to do with our apathy towards football than it does our age...

Anyhow, a couple of weeks ago, we visited Little Libby's Catfish Diner in Madison and had a much better dining experience. Maybe we just like dives better?

Libby's is a meat-n-three kind of place, with catfish being the main offering for your "meat."

The portions were humungous and the sides were pretty amazing – it all tasted like something your Grandma would make you. We could have easily split one lunch special between the three of us. If you go for the normal portions, get the small. Daniel got 2 pieces of catfish and it was way too much food. We were also served a complimentary piece of red velvet cake – it was not as good as the actual meal, but free is always nice.

Libby's was a much better experience than Mellow Mushroom. 

A Weekend of Eating Out

Tonight we ate at Mellow Mushroom in downtown Chattanooga. This was our first time at this location {we have been to the Asheville, Nashville and Charlotte locations}. For atmosphere, the Asheville location is hands down the best, but the food tastes great no matter where you are. We had the House Special and the crust was amazing – it is probably one of my favorite pizza crusts. 

Last night we went to Las Margaritas {Cummings Highway location}. This is our favorite local Mexican restaurant because 1) it is close to Raccoon Mountain; 2) they always have fast service and 3) they serve a mean chimichanga {I base all of my Mexican restaurants on the chimichangas}.

Friday night we met friends at The Terminal Brewhouse – it is on our Top 10 list for restaurants we like in Chattanooga.
