Riverport Grille opened just two months ago and already appears to be a favorite spot for tourists and locals in the busy Tennessee Aquarium/riverfront area of downtown Chattanooga.

The restaurant is the third for John McClellan, whose first two eateries, Mike’s Hole in the Wall and Mike’s Tavern, have established themselves as gathering places for good food and drink. (His former business partner, Mike Robb, died in 2020.) Riverport follows suit with great burgers, wings, salads and such, but gives a nod to its name with the addition of a few fish dishes to its menu.
THE MENU
You can get a great burger and other beef and chicken dishes at Riverport, but if you’re a fan of seafood and fish from Southern waterways, you’re in luck. Among the menu’s fishy offerings are Voodoo Swordfish, fish and chips, a catfish sandwich, lobster ravioli, shrimp and grits, and salmon.
