Cafe 7

An unexpected surprise! A nice place to eat, enjoy the view and take a break from the Gardens. This restaurant is in the middle of Rock City. I expected to pay a bit more because we were in the park and we did. The meals range from $ 8-​$ 15, kid’s meals $ 6. (Drinks $ 4). I didn’t however expect the food to be as good as it was! We ordered lunch type foods, hamburger, hot dog, spicy chicken sandwich, and bbq nachos. The homemade potato chips were awesome. I’d highly recommend the bbq nachos! Although an appetizer, it made a great meal! We didn’t order the dinner type meals (steak, salmon, shrimp creole), but they sure did look scrumptious!
Our server Micheal was very kind and helped us to be compfy during a coming thunderstorm.
Consider 2 things: Weather and schedule. Café 7 is at the top of the mountain INSIDE Rock City park at the overlook. and has outdoor seating. Also, if you plan to eat there, this restaurant has a limited serving schedule closing at 4pm and may be only open on the weekends during peak season.
All in all a good choice for lunch if your planning a trip to Rock City. Next time, I really must try the creole shrimp and cheese grits!
