In the early 1980's I was a general manager for the Fifth Quarter. I worked in Chattanooga, Charleston, Nashville, Louisville and Lexington. I was very young and the first female GM at the age of 22. I'm sitting here discussing this time of my life with my husband and remembering what a fine restaurant and company that I worked for, one ...

Well where to start. I have to say I have had many first at this locations from prom night, to first dates even rehursul dinner for my best friends wedding. It was very sad to see what has become of this resturant. After being away for more then 3 years I was intown to see friends and family. I called and made a reservationfor a party of 6. When we ...

My last visit to the Fifth Quarter will be my LAST visit. The service was slow and terrible, orders were mixed up, food was not cooked to order, and prices were too high for what we got. I complained to the manager, but did not receive satisfaction. Our bill was reduced slightly by the manager but not enough to make me want to go back.

My cell phone was stolen at this restuarant.

The chicken breast dinner such as the Teriyaki Chicken raised from $8.95 to ...

The increase in prices along with the new charge for selection of the salad bar option has increased the cost of a meal at 5th Quarter (without drinks, appetizer or desert) by 41.8%. They have therefore priced themselves out of the market for my restaurant dollar.

One reviewer admires Fifth Quarter as an alternative to chain restaurants, but it is in fact a part of the decidedly downscale Shoney's chain. It would be a real shame to eat here when you have many finer choices in walking distance. Charleston's best steakhouse is the Chop House, right across the street from Fifth Quarter in the Town ...
