The Blue Chair Cafe & Tavern - American restaurant in Sewanee - 35 University Ave, USA

A few days ago my family and I ate at this quaint little restaurant. THE FOOD: We each ordered something different, and we were all very pleased! Good portion sizes, and super tasty. We also purchased a huge rice crispy treat and a delicious cinnamon roll from the cafe- wow, they were perfect! THE LOCATION: Super cute street, several quaint shops around, easy parking. The restaurant, has a cafe section next door which is open for breakfast. The cafe has a huge selection of muffins, cookies, pastries, etc. The restaurant has inside and patio seating. Lots of shaded areas in the outside patio, and dog friendly!! THE STAFF: The young man who took our orders at the counter was the son of the owner, super friendly, sharp, and accommodating young man! He got our orders right. Our server was great as well. Again, she too was extremely accommodating and very pleasant to deal with. The best thing was getting to meet the owner Jimmy. He spoke with us for a while- what an amazing man- we all just lived his personality and hospitality!! Jimmy visited with all the tables and made everyone feel right at home. We will be visiting this place again for sure!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking a trip out and stopping by this super fun cafe!

Absolutely loved this place! Nice indoor and outdoor seating. Serve yourself coffee, which I appreciate. Our meals were delicious and we purchased cookies for later. My husband had the Snickerdoodle and I had the peanut butter. Divine! Best choices in their bakery case I have seen in Tennessee. Incredible place.

What an adorable, quaint cafe. We had breakfast one morning and went back for lunch the following day. The services was friendly and welcoming, the food was delicious and had nice atmpsohere whether you sat inside or the outside patio. Will definitely be back!!

The place may be uncomfortably small inside, but man, the food is delicious! We were in town sightseeing when we noticed it was lunch time. After a quick search on Google, this came up. Due to the great reviews, we decided to give it a shot. Thank goodness we did! Everything we ordered was beyond delicious!! The pretzel bites? Salty and crispy on the outside, yet soft and airy on the inside. Chicken tenders and chicken sandwich? Both cooked to perfection, and the breading was fantastic! The fries and homemade chips? The best i have had in such a long time! The food was so amazing we had to order some baked goods to go to know if it was just as wonderful. (They most definitely are). I really didn't know what to expect from the Blue Chair Cafe & Tavern, but you guys exceeded them. This food alone will have us stopping back whenever we visit Tennessee again!

Cute little local place with a hometown vibe. Food and Baked goods were good. We had wings and a patty melt for lunch then a caramel cinnamon bun for dessert that was very good.

Nice local place, but waited a full hour for our wings and weren’t offered an explanation or apology for the slow service. Burger was dry and cooked poorly. Fries were good and the grilled chicken sandwich was good as well.

Quaint, cute restaurant on the main drag of Sawanee, with great food, a hand painted artistic interior, and a selection of bakery goods for dessert. Very homey, with a feeling of welcome not present in most eateries nowadays.

My first time experience was terrible. Walked in and asked if this was the bakery. He said yes, go next door and get what you want and come back here to pay for it. I got some muffins and went back to him and paid for it. Most of the bakery items looked bad, so I grabbed some muffins and a brownie. The muffins were so stale and crumbly.. I had to throw them out. The brownie wasn't any better. I'm pretty sure I won't be back.
