Here’s a closer look at the delicious food of Sweet Merry Berry.

If you’ve been looking for a new, locally-owned restaurant to try out, you don’t want to pass on Sweet Merry Berry. Located on Signal Mountain, this catering business offers take-out, curbside pickup, and grab-and-go meals.

I spoke with Chef Barry Brock to learn more about what it was like opening his brand-new restaurant right in the middle of the pandemic. In his words, “It’s had its challenges.” He’s been focusing almost entirely on to-go options throughout the health crisis, but demand for catering is beginning to return.

“The restaurant’s offerings are wide and flexible, allowing people to chow down on whatever they’re craving.”

Chef Barry was inspired to go into the restaurant industry because of his grandmother. He saw how happy her food made people feel, and he wanted to create that same happiness with his own cooking. He also wants to help others create their own happiness through making food; when the pandemic passes, he plans to use his space to teach culinary classes at night.

If you’re interested in catering, want to place an order, or have any questions, Chef Barry invites you to give him a call at (423) 414-2623. He asks people to call because Sweet Merry Berry customizes orders to fit whatever the customers want. This means the restaurant’s offerings are wide and flexible, allowing people to chow down on whatever they’re craving.

I’m glad this restaurant has become part of our wonderful community. If you’d like to become part of the community yourself, feel free to reach out to me with any real estate questions you may have. Until then, go get something tasty to eat at Sweet Merry Berry and support your local businesses!
