50 Best American Restaurants in Marietta

“Very good, Waffle House-style restaurant.“

“Loved this cute restaurant in Merchant’s Walk. My friend and I picked this because it was halfway between our homes, and we loved it! Perfect girl food lunch, but there were definitely options for heartier appetites. Food was delicious and our server was super accommodating and knowledgeable and offered us lots of options. Will definitely come back!“

“My husband and I had a wonderful meal at Spring. The service and food were top tier. We can’t wait to see the restaurant after the renovations and eventually try the new location when it opens.“

“Our first time here and it was so good. Service was excellent from start to finish. Had burger and fries and they were perfect. Had pork belly for appetizers the taste was so good. Can’t wait to go back and try the shrimp pasta.“

“The Marietta Diner has earned its reputation, and after our visit it’s easy to see why.

We decided to try the homemade Southern fried chicken, and it was the right choice. The 4-piece chicken dinner with mashed potatoes was generous enough for two of us to share comfortably. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and paired perfectly with the house hot honey sauce.

Don’t skip the matzo ball soup. It was flavorful, comforting, and one of the highlights of the meal. The fresh bread was another pleasant surprise—it rivals what many restaurants are known for and arrived warm with a soft interior.

The menu is enormous, so whether you’re craving breakfast, comfort food, seafood, steaks, sandwiches, or one of the incredible desserts on display, there’s something for everyone.

Service was fast, friendly, and efficient, even with the restaurant staying busy.

If you’re visiting Marietta or just looking for a classic diner experience with huge portions and an extensive menu, this is absolutely worth the stop. We’ll definitely be back to explore more of that menu.“

“Love this. My daughter and I go there often. Food is very good and prices are reasonable. Friendly people work there. Have a great pork stew and over rice is great“

“Great service and delish menu options. Great wine selection.“

“I’ve been coming here with my husband for a few years … we live in east Cobb and whenever we want a fresh, healthy, quick meal- this is our go to. The manager here is irreplaceable! He is always so kind and welcoming. He takes care of us and makes sure all of our needs are met. We both get the fire grill chicken dish with mushroom cream sauce and it never lets us down. We highly recommend stopping by here if you’re looking for a delicious and nutritious meal!“

“Absolutely delicious and out of this world service !“

“Billy is the man never been there before and right away we were able to relate on 80s bands stuff but I loved being there for a first and it’s fun and great service the staff was very respectful and quick when anyone needed someone for a drink or anything especially on a Friday I hope to go there again one of these day and the music was awesome this place knows how to have a good time!“

“I’ve been ordering from them since they opened and I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad meal! I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOVE this place. The food is always fresh, always hot, and always amazing!! Whatever yall doing.. KEEP IT UP 💪🏾 *pictured is what’s left of my catfish Cajun pasta*“

“I play guitar at the open mic here on Tuesday nights. I really like this place. My waitress Quinn is the best of the best when it comes to service. The food is always good, and the atmosphere is always a good fit for me. They are also biker friendly, and that's important to me. I give them an A++“

“Thank you Clarence for making us feel welcome! Our first time vist. Staff was also nice and kind. Food was great!! See you again soon!“

“I love this place. Great food. Excellent selection of beers, and the staff are amazing. Two thumbs up 👍 👍“

“First time here last Saturday night. Sat at the bar around 7pm. Bar was empty. Restaurant tables doing a steady business. Bartender was very nice. Burger was very good but bun was so soggy you had to eat it with a knife and fork. Onion rings and tots crispy and good. Fries soggy and did not eat. Would go back but definitely order the burger with "the bun on the side". Soggy bun and fries.could have been because they sat at the kitchen window too long before being served. All and all a pleasant experience and close to home for a burger and a beer.“

“3.8 for the food. Not bad, but wouldn’t make my top 5 list for wings.

They would possibly be better if I asked for well done, cause I just like my wings with a little crunch and they have that. Also seemed a little skimp on the sauce. The sauce was decent in flavor though, Spicy Ninjas certainly isn’t spicy but has a slight kick to it. Fries are decent, no complaints. The price wasn’t bad, and that is probably one of the reasons why I would come back.

Atmosphere was cool, I sat at the bar where they smoked (not on purpose) but it looked like they had a bar in the non smoking section and then the tiki bar, so you have options!

All in all, wouldn’t go out my way to come back but I wouldn’t be mad if someone wanted to come grab food from here, seems like a chill neighborhood spot.“

“We had a wonderful dining experience! Great service, food and atmosphere! We will be back and I highly recommend to everyone!“

“Ordered here two days in a row while visiting with a friend in Atlanta. The food was good, arrived quickly and was not cold. On the second day, today, I ordered three omelettes, along with other items. One of the omelettes ordered, called for mushrooms, the other two did not. The second two were supposed to be identical. For some reason, mushrooms were added to one of the other orders. However, I did not order mushrooms because I am allergic to them. Unfortunately, I tried to call three times, but only got a message stating “we’re not available now, please call again!” Other than this mishap, which could have been really bad had I not noticed the mushrooms and consumed them, everything else was good.“

“Absolutely AMAZING place to go!! Great food, great staff, fast service!!! This is definitely my new favorite place!!!“

“Had a really enjoyable experience. The food was flavorful and came out quickly. My server Tykeem was friendly, attentive, and made sure I had everything I needed without being overbearing. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a meal and get some work done. I’ll be back for the quick and easy meals and pleasant staff’s hospitality.“

“We ate breakfast here on the way to drop our daughter off at college, and Julian was our server. He is such an excellent person with the best energy and positive personality. He absolutely made our day! Thank you, Julian!“

“I'll be honest I have not tried the food yet, but the service that vibe in this place was very welcoming. My name is Arturo. I am from Arizona. I just moved out here to Georgia and Kelly treated me like a regular. I will definitely be back!“

“Great breakfast. Good service and caring wait staff. Never disappointed at JC.“

“We eat at Marlow's a couple of times a month and it is always great. Our server Keeley this evening was awesome and whomever the bartender was mixed me the best gin martini of my life.😁“

“Loved the fondue dip and it was my Birthday surprise🎂🎂🎂“

“Had an awesome meal at Walk-On’s in Marietta, and Lysa was the highlight of our visit! She was super attentive, made sure our drinks were always full, and had a great personality that made us feel welcome. The food was fantastic, but the service made it even better. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Highly recommend! The staff was great & the food was delish!“

“Coaches Corner is the new spot in the Marietta, Kennesaw, Woodstock area! Food is elite, vibes are unmatched, and the music is always on point. The sound system and MULTIPLE tv's make for the perfect environment for any occasion!!!

I consider myself a regular at this point!! Keep it going Brandon!“

“Go there regularly. Food is always fresh and so tasty! The buffet has lots of options, especially on the salad bar. The staff if friendly and keeps your tea glass full, the tables cleaned, and takes care of any special needs.“

“This is the best little sandwich shop around. The salads are always fresh and over flowing. The sandwiches are also fresh as can be and a challenge for one person to finish. The folks there are always smiling and great to deal with.“

“Love that the restaurant helps with team fundraisers. We went there to support the OP 10U Piranhas and realized their food is amazing! The wings are some of the best I had. Loved the buffalo sauce. My son loved the chicken tenders. And my wife loved the chicken salad wrap! Will definitely come back! @otterschicken #10UPiranhasLoveOtters“

“Had the Easter brunch with complimentary mimosa. $75.00 per person drinks extra. The three of us enjoyed our time. I made reservations nine days prior with asking for outdoor seating. When we arrived weather was good but they were not seating outside. Disappointed not to have outside seating. Nice buffet but the cake was previously frozen and apple pie not homemade. The lemon petite tart was not made with fresh lemon. Probably frozen previously too. The ice cream bar had only vanilla and cool whip topping. The strawberry and chocolate syrups were flavored. For the price charged a couple of real signature desserts would have been great. The macaroni was great. The salmon, chicken and beef were good. The ham was not a a good choice and was not at a carving station as described when I asked about the buffet. Fruit was good. Since this is the first since Covid 19 I’ll give for credit for a nice presentation.

Parking: Easy to park“

“Excellent service. Will recommend.“

“I visited McCray’s Tavern twice recently to watch FIFA matches, and both experiences were great. It was my first time coming here, and the food and service were consistently good. Our server, KC, took care of us both visits and was excellent—friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the games.“

“Delicious burgers, meatballs, yucca fries! My party of 4 enjoyed every bite. We’ll be back!“

“Many delicious choices! something for everyone..“

“Fast Hot Meal. Coffee is great 👍“

“Great place for a date night. Sit at the bar on the weekend and Luke will take great care of you. Lots of places to go but we keep going back to see Luke, the best bartender in Marietta.“

“The environment is very nice, the food tastes very good, and the service is also very good!“

“Scott is the best! We sat at the bar for the Harry Potter pop-up and had the BEST time! Thanks for the magic, Scott! ✨“

“My wife and I go to a wine tasting couple times a year here. It is a little pricey but it is a fun thing to do and the wine is good and the food is excellent. They serve appetizers with each two pores of wine. Recommend getting a full glass of wine and a separate appetizer when you get there.

Vegetarian options: They can accommodate some vegetarian options. But many of their appetizers do have meat.

Parking: Parking is in a large shared strip mall parking area.

Kid-friendliness: This event is not for kids. Many couples are there spending an evening away from their kids!

Wheelchair accessibility: The space is on the ground floor. The door is a single door, but I don't know if there's any wheelchair accessible seating. Most of this is at a bar height.“

“came here on wednesday with some friends to celebrate a couple of birthdays and we had a great time! our bartender, lisa, provided great service all around, was personable, and made good drinks. this location is a bit far from where i live, but it was worth the drive.“

“Gabriel’s is the best!!! My husband and I hired them for our wedding and everyone loved our cake. They are also such professionals, especially Megan. She guided us through each decision and helped us narrow down which flavors we should serve. I highly recommend using them for your special day!“

“I have ordered cakes for my son’s birthday from here several times. It’s always delicious! My son doesn’t like traditional cake so they make a delicious brownie cake with buttercream icing. So yummy!!❤“

“We had the best time this morning at this Waffle House. Jessie and Charlotte were so sweet and attentive. It felt like everyone in here enjoyed their job. Felt like I was in a mom and pops shop! I tried the new cinnamon crunch waffle and it was GOOD!! Tasted like a cinnamon bun.“

“Food was delicious. I got the boom boom shrimp and the grouper tacos with Brussels sprouts. Very tasty. Our service was great. Jake was prompt, efficient and nice. Always enjoy our meal, no matter what we have ordered over the years.“

“I love the different options of food But when it gets to Mexican fruit they have to learn to know and handle them properly I was there yesterday and I love tunas but in this case the way they cut them it could be dangerous eating invisible tiny thorns that might stick on your tongue or throat and end up in a lawsuit It was a shame not eating some yesterday Other than that I love the food there“

“Kim was fantastic! She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. She had great conversation, helped us navigate the menu with excellent recommendations, and did an amazing job training a new team member while still providing outstanding service. You could tell she genuinely cared about both her guests and her coworker. Thank you, Kim, for making our visit such a great experience!“

“Kimberly was completely awesome. Not only did she give outstanding service but was a complete gem to have for a server. Friendly, courtesy and to make it even better the cook was so sweet he made my niece, a Mickey mouse pancake. we will be back. thank you for your awesome attitude and taking such awesome service. we will be definitely asking for Kimberly on our next visit.“

“I love my weekly trip to pickup our dinners which are always excellent. The friendly, prompt and professional service makes me feel special and welcome. Truly outstanding!“
