We are very happy we gave it a shot. The fried chicken biscuit was phenomenal. We got the Hot Honey Garlic Sauce on the side so I could dip the sandwich. The sauce was hot (spicy flavor) so I was glad I could control the portion & alternate the savory fried chicken and biscuit taste without the added heat from the sauce. The wait on a rainy Saturday morning was reasonable considering there were quite a few other first timers in attendance. We could overhear other couples/families telling waitresses & hosts about the video. We also had the Smokey Scramble (with chicken) and a single buttermilk pancake - all of it delicious. Our waitress apologized for the wait & let us know the kitchen was busy but when the food came it would be worth it - and it absolutely was. We look forward to visiting the Crooked Tree Cafe again

The menu is small enough to feel intentional but packed with options that make it hard to choose because everything sounds so good. My breakfast was fantastic. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the bacon was crisp, the potatoes were seasoned just right, and the fresh bread with jam and butter was such a simple but memorable touch. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the food and the overall experience. One of the most exciting surprises for me was finding authentic Parisian butter available for purchase. As someone who loves discovering quality ingredients, that was such a fun and unexpected detail that made the visit feel even more special. Cute atmosphere, delicious food, quality ingredients, and thoughtful touches throughout. I left impressed and already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

If you've ever driven past the Marietta Diner at night, you know it looks like a neon spaceship…read morelanded right off Cobb Parkway. I finally pulled up on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch, and honestly, the sheer scale of this place is hilarious. The parking lot alone is a whole ecosystem, and the inside looks like it can comfortably seat half of Metro Atlanta with room to spare. I came with a serious appetite, so I went straight for the classic heavyweight: the Roast Turkey Entrée (all white meat). Now, when the server started listing out everything that came with it, I thought there was a glitch in the simulation. For starters, you get a soup and a salad. I went with the chicken noodle and a Caesar salad. The chicken noodle hit the spot--properly seasoned, warm, and comforting. The Caesar was solid too, crisp and fresh. But then the main plate arrived, and I'm pretty sure they harvested an entire farm for this one meal. Generous portion of white meat turkey, a mountain of mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce and a side of broccoli (gotta respect the greens). Every single item on that main plate was absolute perfection. Tender, savory, and cooked with actual respect for flavor profiles. My only real critique? The bread basket. Look, I don't know what happened there, but that roll was completely devoid of personality. Tasted like straight oxygen and flour. Unseasoned bread in 2026 is an absolute tragedy, but thankfully, the whipped butter spread saved the day and gave it a purpose in life. Between the massive portions and the endless menu options, this place is an absolute unit. You're definitely leaving with a take-home box the size of a carry-on suitcase and a strong urge to take a three-hour nap. Great energy, fast service, and legendary portions. Just bypass the plain bread and dive straight into the turkey.

Hey there! You are…read morenot going to believe what a blast from the past I had last night! I ended up having dinner at the Marietta Diner. Can you believe it's been *ages* since I've set foot in that place? The last time I was there was with my wife years and years ago, so it brought back a ton of super fond memories. And wow, what an experience it still is! Seriously, the service was absolutely top-tier - everyone was so welcoming and incredibly attentive. And the food? Oh my goodness, it was just as incredibly delicious and outstanding as I remember it being, if not even better! Every single bite was a pure delight. But here's the really cool part that genuinely made my night: the same wonderful gentleman who used to greet everyone at the door, probably six or seven years back, is *still* there! How amazing is that for consistency and dedication? It just goes to show what an absolutely incredible and timeless place that restaurant is. A true gem that really holds up over time!

The setup is casual--you order inside and they bring the food out to your table--and the service was friendly and efficient. The smoked salmon toast was definitely a highlight--fresh, flavorful, and well put together. The pancakes were also delicious and cooked perfectly. The veggie scramble, however, fell a bit flat and could really benefit from more seasoning and overall flavor. One downside was the lack of paper towels, both in the restroom and in the dining area, which was a bit inconvenient. Overall, I would definitely go back. It's a solid brunch spot with great potential--I just wish they offered mimosas to round out the experience

I sat outside on the patio and they put a fan on me since it was warm. Lovely seats on the lawn shaded by a large tree as well as some deck seating. They have a large menu loaded with goodies. I found about 5-6 things I actually wanted at once but settled not he Veggie bowl and added chicken sausage. My bowl had sweet potato hash, cheese, kale, red peppers, red onion and mushrooms sautéed, topped with two eggs and my added chicken. It was a huge portion and it was really delicious. Perfectly cooked and healthy and loaded - the hash was phenomenal. My waitress was the sweetest and I really just enjoyed a lovely quiet lunch with the patio entirely to myself on a lovely summer afternoon. Couldn't have been better.

The owner had everyone in mind when it came to the food. There's a drink menu for kids and even something for the dogs . I ordered the coconut curry salmon . It was good . It lacked flavor, but I appreciated it for not being overly salty. My favorite meal was the avocado nachos. I have thought of them since my first time eating them. It is one of the most popular dishes on the menu. Ask long as it's offered I will always order it . The parking was a bit tight behind the house . When I arrived , I was very lucky to get the last spot . However , I noticed other patrons were parking next to the Root Canal office . It was an open area that appeared to be a makeshift parking area. There was outdoor seating, by which I saw quite a few people seating there . It looked cozy and no one seemed uncomfortable. As it was my first time there. I elected to eat inside. It wasn't a bad experience, but the home is very small . I can imagine it being congested . But I was there early on a Sunday . Will I eat here again ? Yes !

The Highs: The sweet potato pancakes were the reason we came here based on an IG review. They were…read moreactually really good. The grits were flavored nicely. The chicken sausage was pretty good as well. The Lows: I ordered on their website at 11:25 and requested the order for 12 pm. It wasn't ready until about 12:15. The Mac and Cheese wasn't very good. I expected more from a place that is supposed to have that southern comfort food vibe. If you like creamy Mac and cheese with the cheese pull... This ain't it. The In-between: we ordered food to go. The place is located in a shopping center next to the tropical smoothie place. Parking wasn't hard at all. It wasn't that busy when we went on Sunday morning. As noted, I had to wait about 15 minutes passed the original pick up time. They invited me to sit at the bar but no one offered me a water or anything while I waited. When I did finally receive the food, there was no apology for the delay either. Little service recovery attempts like that can go a long way.

We waited only a few minutes and was able to navigate the small lot to get a spot. There is a designated window for pre-orders and walk-ups have a separate line. It wasn't that long when we were there, but was out the door when we left. Ordering was easy as we got a chance to preview the paper menu, and we were given a card to place on our table once we found it. There was plenty of seating options despite the full lot, but it was nice out so a lot of people were out on the patio with views of the busy intersection. The decor was modern and airy. We checked out the salsa bar while we waited for our appetizer and I found the jalapeno roasted garlic, which was spicy and amazing!! Our appetizer was the con queso and I added chorizo, which I highly recommend. It was plenty for our party of 4 and they'll give you more chips if you need them for the amount of dip you get, just ask. I got one each of the steak, chicken, and carnitas tacos on corn tortillas. The steak was my favorite and I loved that you could taste the smoke in each of the meats with each bite. The grapefruit marg was strong! We were in and out in well under an hour.
