For the second year, we are proud to partner with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Chattanooga to spread awareness on the need for Bigs and Littles in our community.

Join us as we eat and drink for a cause! On Monday, May 23rd we will host a giveback night benefitting our friends at the Children’s Advocacy Center of Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit.

Owning a business is difficult. Owning and operating a business during the COVID pandemic has been extremely difficult and forced us to alter the way we operate. Owner Miguel Morales recently sat down with Chattanooga Business Trend to discuss entrepreneurship and what steps he took to ensure the safety and well-being of his employees and restaurants.

Our kitchen team works diligently to serve mouth-watering dishes day in and day out, but what they do wouldn’t be possible without our culinary partners. The dedication to their craft and the pride they take in their products is unparalleled. When it comes to taste, locally sourced ingredients are superior, and the difference can be found in each bite.

While being on top of Lookout Mountain feels worlds away, it’s just short ten-minute drive down the mountain to Chattanooga, full of spicy, decadent, comfort foods and places to shop. The Turners noted, “The location is exceptional. We have this beautiful natural setting of mountains and outdoor spaces and just 10 minutes away we have Chattanooga full of great restaurants.” Yes, they do.

We are thrilled to be on the cover of the November edition of Around Acworth Magazine. Owners, Miguel Morales and Mike Schroeder sat down to discuss how “Acworth’s Charm Allures Restaurant Owners.”

For many of our guests, hearing that we were planning to open a new 1885 Grill location in Acworth came as a surprise. With the original restaurant in the St. Elmo neighborhood and our second, 1885 Grill Ooltewah in Cambridge Square, venturing outside of the Chattanooga area came with many questions and uncertainties. Everyone we talk to asks, “Why Acworth?” For the 1885 family, that answer came easy.

The origins of are name are as simple as the early beginnings of the restaurant itself. In June 2013, Leslie and Miguel Morales followed their dream and opened a small restaurant at the foot of Lookout Mountain in the historic St. Elmo neighborhood of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Residents of the neighborhood themselves, the couple loved the laid back, welcoming atmosphere of the area- where porch sitting is more than activity, rather a way of life.
