The Boathouse is a long-standing Chattanooga tradition for neighborhood camaraderie and a choice destination for the best of riverfront dining, located directly on the Tennessee River in the heart of Chattanooga's stylish Riverwalk.
Just 1.5 miles from the downtown hotel district, the Boathouse features an eclectic menu with many traditional dishes, along with a wide array of items from the wood fired grill and creative house specialties not often found elsewhere. Although we are not known exclusively as a seafood restaurant, the Boathouse does have one of the busiest oyster bars in the country. Choose something refreshing from our beer and wine list, or the famous Lawton's Margarita (50,510 sold in 2019) and enjoy the city's most spectacular view of the Tennessee River vista, whether from inside our dining room, or while relaxing on our outdoor covered patio.
We are open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner, for dine-in, take out, and curbside to-go. In accordance with Hamilton County and Health Department requirements, all guests will be required to wear a cloth face mask or covering while in the restaurant until seated and at the table. The restaurant is operating at limited capacity and proper table distancing has been observed. Thank you for your continued patience and support.
