Craving some old fashioned barbecue with a view? Sugar's in East Chattanooga has a ridge-side view of the city and probably my favorite barbecue in town (it's hard to judge though, we've got so many great barbecue joints)! Watching/feeding the goats in the side-yard is a fun little treat for the kids.
