Most Disliked
Some visitors mention the restaurant's atmosphere as outdated, feeling it doesn’t match the high quality of the food. While some find this vintage charm appealing, others wish for a fresher aesthetic. Occasionally, wait times can increase, especially during peak hours, which has led to some complaints about delays in receiving orders. A few diners express that meal portions, especially in salads, might sometimes be on the smaller side, leaving them wanting more. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overwhelming sentiment remains focused on the incredible food rather than the ambiance. Overall, the buzz around Armando's is about the satisfying meals that make it worth a visit.

OMG. Hubby and I decided to dine in this time. Everything was on point. I had to wait on my fries, but they was worth the wait and hot. This restaurant reminded me of the old school diners back in the day like on Happy Days 🤭. It owns up to it's burger size. Thank for the great service. We will be going back.

On a hard day of work, we like to have a great lunch at work, burgers great, grilled chicken salad a little skimpy on the chicken

Another amazing mom and pop restaurant I got to experience!! My girls and I loved it and the stay was very patient when my kids changed their minds a few times lol!!

Armando's is legendary! The food is so fantastic that NO ONE gives 2 cents about the atmosphere - and while I think they are going for vintage...it's just SUPER dated. But WHO CARES?! Nobody who goes here, even picky ole me. You must have the fried mushrooms...yum! Today I had the Reuben...yum! My friend said the chicken salad is delicious and her crinkle fries were perfectly golden...yum! Don't miss out on this place. If the atmosphere is a big deal to you, order it to go and eat in your car. Oh! The ladies who work here are all so nice, even when they are slammed busy.

Amazing service and a cozy atmosphere. The burgers are tasty, and the price is fair for the amount of food that you get. I love going there with my family, and the food fills me up. There is a great variety of sandwiches and burgers, with my favorite being the Bacon Cheeseburger. There is also a good selection of fries, from curly fries to wedge fries. A true Chattanooga gem.
