Incredible vegan hot chicken sandwich! Might be the best one I’ve ever had. The kale salad and waffle fries were great too. The inside seating was limited and not the best, but we got takeout and ate downtown at the Capitol on the lawn. I highly recommend this place.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The BE Hive Deli & Market NEVER disappoints! It’s such an easy dining experience, not having to worry about hidden ingredients as the entire menu is vegan. We cross state lines just to treat ourselves! We wish we could go daily, but we always order enough to take home after dining in. We even bought some deli slices and chz shredz last time, and can’t wait to get more after making some delicious wraps and sandwiches. We obviously love the Taco Crunch (who doesn’t??), the Jalapeño Waffle Fries are ridiculously good, you can’t beat the Kale Caesar… but we have honestly never had anything we did not enjoy! There are only a couple of things we haven’t ordered yet, and they are on the list to try next time. The last shake we tried was the collaboration with Guerilla Bizkits, the Pineapple Upside Down Shake, and my husband swears he’s never had a shake as good as that. We talk about The BE Hive daily after watching Instagram stories and always wait with great anticipation for our next visit. :)

So I went here because it was rated as the best vegan food in Tennessee on a list by The Takeout, but I have to say I wouldn't go that far. I've tried vegan all over Tennessee at this point and I have to say that sluggos in Chattanooga is the best I've found in the State (in fact anywhere for that matter). I like a lot of other things about this place though, from their ethical behavior, to their shopping options. They're not really a sit-and-dine kinda place but that's okay. I only got their seitan chicken sandwich and so it may not be fair to base them solely on that.
