Some restaurants you walk into, and it becomes immediately apparent that a great deal of care is baked into the bones.
Old Man Rivers Table & Tavern is one of these places.
Late on a lazy Sunday afternoon, grab a table on the porch for buttermilk biscuits with sausage gravy. Or find a place in the cozy dining room for weekday lunch, shoulder to shoulder with your best friends while you eat grilled chicken over a bed of warm rice. Sit at the bar and order a beer, or come for date night and order several rounds of the chef’s martini. Lunch, brunch or dinner, you will find community gathered here at the base of Signal Mountain.
Owner Alex Rivers and Executive Chef Andrew Millsap met when they were young, working at Mellow Mushroom.
“We were just kids having fun,” Rivers said.
