I really thought I’d discovered one of Chattanooga’s best-kept secrets when I walked into the Doctors Building Coffee Shop. It was 11 a.m., and there was no one else in sight, except a few cooks and servers. Was I ever wrong. Five minutes later, folks began walking in. Thirty minutes down, there wasn’t a table to be had.
THE MENU
When was the last time you had a Dagwood? It’s this old-fashioned kind of menu that takes this coffee shop a step back in time.
The order (for two): A cheeseburger and the daily special, chicken and dumplings with turnip greens and roasted potatoes.
