Native Kitchen

"I normally prefer very “simple” foods, so when I visit a place that likes to add complexity, it makes me uneasy. However, we were quite happy with both the food and the experience. The location is just spectacular and beautiful. Well worth the visit."

"Food was fabulous, tasty, fresh, well presented. Service was slow. Drinks were small and expensive."

"I couldn't give this place enough compliments!!! We just googled a random GF restaurant and this came up. The moment we walked into the door we were greeted with kindness and laughter from Haley. We asked for her recommendations and got a pumpkin donut, a oatmeal cream pie, harvest platter, black bean salad and specialty drinks. All of which were 15/10. That was the best GF donut I have ever experienced (thank you). The atmosphere is relaxing, inviting and filled with light from the massive windows in a beautiful brick historical building."

"Outstanding #vegan food in a magical little location. If you're in Chattanooga, Atlanta, passing by on interstate 75, in Blue Ridge, etc., its worth the stop or the drive. Let's go #Datlon GA! The place is run by Dustin and his family. Locals that wanted to bring something special to the area, and wow, they nailed it. The space is a total dopamine booster. Zen, colorful, fun, airy, and bright. Oh, and its located in a super cool old building with a bunch of other neat shops and restaurants. Food is totally delicious. Everything is well seasoned, not faint, the flavors are there! Well cooked and presented beautifully. Fresh and unique. Love love love. This is one of those places where I liked the food more as I ate, a sign of great food with layers of flavor. #VeggieBurger $9 I love this burger. Nice char (which is rare for a veggie burger, well done!), not dry, terrific flavor, and fresh toppings. The veggies on top were thin-sliced, nice touch! You're gonna think its small when you see it, and it is. But the burger and the almond bun are dense and it packs a punch and will fill you up if you pair it with a side or two. I love that the burger is served with only mustard as the sauce, gives it a super unique flavor. However, while, again, the burger is not really dry, I do think a side of another sauce or the addition of another sauce on the burger (maybe as an option) could really take this burger to a whole other level. Do not be afraid of the almond based bun, I think its 100% a winner. Its dense, salty on the outside, rich and moist on the inside. I loved it. It does get a bit crumbly after a few bites, but just grab a fork and finish that baby off! Heartly Plateful $11 Delicious black beans that were not overcooked (again, rare, most places cook them to mush). Not soupy, fresh and yummy. Some seasonal sauteed veggies, cooked well and seasoned beautifully. Perfectly fried potatoes, crispy, salty, to die for! The veggies and the beans we are tad on the cool side when served, the only real negative during the visit. Oatmeal Sandwich $5 OMG, just get it. Ridiculous. Probably the best I've ever had. Yes, in Dalton GA, outstanding vegan fare. You really should go!"
