Let's start that the food and ambience here are simply outstanding. There's sufficient space among other tables/diners, and the ample ceiling applications effectively calms the noise and conversation levels. All the food items that others have raved about are quite simply deserving of that praise. I am a huge fan of black grouper, and my prepared dish of that was outstanding. Extremely flavorful, and nothing overwhelmed what needed to come through on the fish. The only reason they earned 4 stars from me was on wine service. While my first choice off the menu was unavailable, staff tried to bait and switch my second choice. After I brought that recognition to our waiter, he never approached our table again. Come on, guys. Be professional! read more

A solid food option anchoring Marietta Square, Mac's Chophouse was a lovely last minute discovery when my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary dinner. Location and Parking Street parking around the square is available for free, however we opted for the deck at the edge of the square for convenience. Venue and Atmosphere Featuring two levels, stately hardwood floors, and sophisticated lighting, Mac's is perfect for a date night, celebration, or whatever occasion your heart desires. Service Our server (I forgot his name!) happened to be a former chef and restaurant owner himself. As expected, he was extremely knowledgeable and gave great food and wine recommendations. Food and Beverages We split the Caesar salad, sirloin, and appetizer trio. Everything was delicious, cooked at the perfect temperature, and seasoned to perfection. The lobster mac and cheese deserves a shoutout; I just wish the appetizer portion could be larger (haha)! They gave us a lovely complimentary dessert for our anniversary, much appreciated! Verdict I'll be back! read more

Mac's is a well known local eatery, often for special occasions as it is a bit pricey. It has a very old rustic atmosphere that is quite nice with loft like open ceilings and patched exposed red brick walls. Due to the openness of the dining room, it is on the louder side making it difficult to talk with folks not sitting directly next to order across from one another. Service was very good, attentive, and frirfriendly. My wife and I both had ceasar salad, filet medium rare, and strawberry topped cheesecake. For sides we had asparagus and mashed potatoes. The sides wete quite good, the best part of our meals. The salad was okay though the dressing was on the more bland side and fresh ground pepper helped its flavor profile quite a bit. For a restaurant calling itself a "chophouse" and supposedly upscale, you would think they would know how to cook a steak or use a better quality steak. Our filets were cooked to proper temperature but lacked any taste of salt or seasoning and lacked any searing on the outside. The meat was chewy rather than tender and made us wonder "what's so special about this place" where parking availability is also a challenge!? So you would think dessert would be hard to mess up, but our cheesecake was nothing special at all. We've had better tasting Sara Lee cheesecake from the supermarket; definitely below expectation. We'll consider giving it another try, but at their prices there are so many other tried and true steakhouse we much prefer. read more

What an enjoyable restaurant with excellent food. The oysters are my son's favorite. I've always had great food and service in a delightful atmosphere. We just had the crème brule and it was delicious. I highly recommend this great restaurant on the Marietta Square. read more

There's always been something about this place that I couldn't quite put my finger on, but the recent 64 health score confirmed long-standing concerns. Mac's is wildly overrated and overpriced, and now recently noted - unsanitary. The restaurant has publicly stated that the low score was primarily due to "administrative documentation" and "knowledge-based protocols." However, the official inspection report tells a more concerning story. Their previous inspection scores -- 83 and 87 -- suggest this wasn't an isolated incident, but part of an ongoing pattern. According to the Georgia Department of Public Health inspection dated 12/30/25, violations included: * Black buildup inside two ice machines * Raw lobster thawed in stagnant water * A repeat violation - Cold food held in temperatures above 41 degrees (produce and raw meat reaching temperatures up to 56 degrees!) * Employees handling raw meat and then ready-to-eat food without washing hands * Handwashing sinks blocked or used for non-handwashing purposes * Employee food and drinks stored on prep tables * Expired food safety certification and missing inspection posting These are not minor administrative oversights, they are basic food safety failures. I can also speak from personal experience. I once ordered the tuna tacos and found several strawberries mixed directly into the tuna. They were not part of the dish. This appeared to be cross-contamination from nearby prep. When I mentioned it to my server, the response was a casual, "Do you want another?" At that point, I had no interest in eating anything else. After the inspection score was made public, comments on their social media were turned off. While they've invited guests to contact management directly, removing public dialogue does little to build transparency or trust, especially given the nature of the violations. If you're going to operate three restaurants on the Marietta Square, food safety, consistency, and accountability should be non-negotiable. This feels like a business that has leaned too heavily on its reputation for far too long. read more

I went here with my husband for my birthday and the food was to die for. One of the best steaks Ive ever had in my entire life, I absolutely love this place and for the price it's great for date nights or special occasions. The service was good and the ambiance relaxing. read more

My uncles hosted their 75th birthday party here. We had a private room that comfortably fit 14 people. We were loud. It was private. Service was attentive. There was a prix fixe menu with options to suit everyone. Started off with a Caesar salad. I had the filet (perfectly medium rare) with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Sides were served family style. Finished with a chocolate mousse cake. All food was cooked well and portions were generous. The servers kept the alcohol flowing and remembered our names. I highly recommend this restaurant for your next family party. read more

If you've ever considered trying the Afternoon Tea at Mac's, DO IT!! This was such a fun experience and would be perfect for any occasion like Mother's Day, Birthday's or simply "just because." There were so many special touches, including a reserved card at your table. A side note: you must make reservations. The Afternoon Tea dates are listed on the Mac's Chophouse website. You are first brought scones, crumpets and your choice of tea, followed by a three-tier tray of sandwiches, quiche, and desserts. Everything was incredible. You can also add a bottle of champagne to your experience for $30. It's $65 per person and well worth it for all you receive. read more

Yes we were met by the manager on entry and sat at the bar. First off, we are the Chops side not the raw bar side. Server/bartender we knew from previous visit. As always, he was attentive and had good suggestions. The issue was we ordered the happy hour raw oysters, I kid you not as he made numerous apologies as to the wait, 30 plus minutes for sure. Meanwhile, being married to a retired person in the industry I could not help but notice a single woman that seemed excluded from service. That came to light when said manager said loudly she did NOT meet job requirements. An interview should be out of sight or behind closed doors. In support of the manager she should as dressed applied at the Gold Club. read more

The service was slow. It took 30 minutes to bring bread and the entire group's drinks. I think the server could have communicated better concerning sides for the table. We ended up with 3 sides of mashed potatoes which was unnecessary. For this type of restaurant, I expect the best service. read more

The positive- The staff tried really hard to provide a professional, attentive service. The negative- They need to RE-TRAIN the kitchen staff!!! The broiled lobster tail was rubbery , dry and room temperature. the seafood charcuterie was missing several items AND they served us an empty lobster tail !!!!! this made me think that this was someone's leftovers . Overall the experience was terrible- we won't be back read more

We went out to celebrate my birthday, and Hubs selected this restaurant. It was located in the Marietta Square. It was bustling with people and parking was somewhat challenging, but we eventually found one in the parking garage. The restaurant was nicely decorated and pleasant. Our server was pleasant and very knowledgeable about the menu, and she was very accommodating about my seafood & fish allergies. The food, ehhhh, subpar at best. The "dry-aged" steak was bland, so were the mashed potatoes and asparagus. It's no place we'd revisit. It was nice walking around the square during the Christmas season, but that was the highlight, unfortunately. read more

Going to Mac's for a date night was an excellent choice and I can't wait to go back. The ambiance and the service were both great and our server Rado was excellent. We had a reservation and were seated immediately and had very quick service. For dinner we shared the Beef Wellington bites and the Mac's Chophouse signature sides trio with Spinach, Mac & Cheese, and Brussels Sprouts, all of which were delicious. For dinner we each had a steak that we both enjoyed and also loved the side of Aligot potatoes. After dinner our server brought us a complimentary dessert which was amazing. Overall I think Mac's is an excellent place for a special occasion or celebration and I look forward to coming back! read more

After arriving in Georgia and settling into our hotel room, we went into town to grab a bite to eat. Mac's Chophouse was one of the first few places we saw and decided to give it a shot! It seemed busy as we entered the restaurant but we got seated right away! It was for a party of 4 and we got the option to be seated inside or outside, as it was a beautiful day we chose outside seating! The staff were great! They were very friendly and helpful! They didn't mind answer any questions we had and even provided recommendations on their favorite items on the menu! Upon being seated we all ordered drinks. My friend and I ordered Espresso Martinis while our boyfriends ordered Smoked Old Fashions. This was single handedly the BEST Espresso Martini I have had!! Other Espresso Martinis you can taste more alcohol than espresso. This martini had the perfect balance, you could actually taste the espresso. My friend and I were pleasantly surprised! We enjoyed them so much we ordered a second round. Our boyfriends also had a second round of the old fashions! For appetizers we ordered the Crispy homemade pimiento cheese fritters and these were so yummy! We enjoyed them so much we put in a second order of it! My friend and I ordered the Macs Twin Patty Burger. I love a good cheesy burger and that exactly what I received when I ordered this burger! The patties were juicy and cooked exactly as i ordered it! I truly enjoyed this burger! My friend also really enjoyed it and she agreed when I told her this is one of the better burgers I've had in a while. The side order of French fries was DELICIOUS! It was so nice to get nice and fresh hot French fries! It's not common to get that in restaurants now! My boyfriend ordered the Extra Crispy Chicken Sandwich and he really enjoyed it! I had a bite and it was very good! I loved the crunch you get while biting into the Sandwich! The bun was nice and fresh and not over toasted. My friend's boyfriend ordered the Jumbo Lump Crab cake! He enjoyed it but was slightly expecting a bigger crab cake! Aside from not really knowing what to expect for the size of the crab cake he said it was delicious! The next time we are in Georgia we will certainly be returning to Mac's Chophouse! I'm looking forward too it! read more

Okay, not anything super crazy. not worth the price or "upscale". entree was solid, not really blowing my socks off but have had worse. Dessert was great, probably best part of the meal. shoutout to whoever made them. White chocolate bread pudding. i guess the point of this review is if you aren't swimming in money i'd spend my hard earned cash elsewhere. wasn't worth the couple hundred bucks imo. i'd be interested in trying the italian side though just bc i like italian. It seemed like people enjoyed it bc it was relatively packed for a week night, maybe i just can't order but had mixed reviews from the people i ate with as well. read more

Food was very delicious. We had a seafood charcuterie board which was very different and tasty. We also had a seafood platter that brought just about everything, Salmon, lobster, shrimp and scallops with a side of mash and broccolini. Our server Jonah was very knowledgeable about the menu he suggested just about everything and he was right! We've been here prior a couple times and this was by far our best experience. Ambiance is always nice. read more

My visit to Mac's Chophouse was pretty much a one-and-done experience. While the ambience was nice--elegant and inviting--it didn't make up for the lackluster service and food quality. It took almost 10 minutes just to be acknowledged by the hostess and seated, which set the tone for the evening. When I finally ordered, I asked for my steak to be cooked medium, but it arrived rare. At a place like this, I expected them to get the steak temperature right, but that wasn't the case. Overall, while the atmosphere was pleasant, the experience was quite disappointing. read more

Great Delmonico steak. Really good service and a quaint local place. Order the oysters you won't be disappointed

We went to Mac's for my fiancés birthday and it was the most incredible experience from the moment we walked in the door. The host was so kind, and even told him happy birthday (which just shows they notice these things on the reservations), our servers David & Brooke were absolutely incredible. We also had Max bring us our food and he was so friendly. We got the tomahawk ribeye to share, a wedge salad, pimento cheese fritters & the trio of sides. We decided to forego dessert and they brought us a special dessert on the house for his birthday. They were extremely attentive, never let our drinks go empty and everything tasted delicious. We definitely will be back very soon!!! read more

It was a good meal. The service was excellent with a very knowledgeable server that did a great job of handling a decent sized party. The table started with an appetizer medley -- shrimp, fried oysters, oysters on the half shell, fried pimento cheese and crab cakes. They were good standard appetizers. I had a spring salad, asparagus and mushrooms as sides to accompany the shrimp and grits entree. The star of the day was the spring salad. It was dressed with a tasty balsamic vinaigrette. Candied walnuts, craisins and apples mixed in. very well to give a great balance of sweet and savory. The shrimp and grits was ok. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, the grits were a little mealy, I was hoping they would be more creamy. The dish was a little on the sweet side and a dash of salt would have helped balance it. The wine choice was excellent. All in all a good meal but a little pricey for food. 5 star service for sure. read more

We enjoyed this dining experience. It's all about the aesthetics of this restaurant, just a vibe all on its own. We tried a few dishes and I'll say stick with the steak when at a chophouse. That's my bad. The extra crispy springer MTN chicken was perfectly crispy, but in my opinion and my wife's it needed more salt/seasoning salt. The steak with the gravy on it was . We also enjoyed the balsamic brussel sprouts so much we ordered twice. The Mac n cheese was perfect and the mashed potatoes are very creamy. The staff is very attentive, helpful, and generous. On Father's Day my waiter gave us a complimentary homemade cherry ice cream lava cake type of dessert. Wowser. We'll certainly be back and I'll get the steak next time. Great spot for a special evening. read more

This place is located in Marietta Square. There is ample parking, but it is always packed. Walking into the restaurant, you are immediately greeted. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I love that the lighting is cozy and makes you feel you're on a date. They do have a happy hour from Mon- Thurs. I ordered a lemon drop, the Roasted Alabama Oysters and the Lobster Bisque. My aunt ordered the French onion soup and the Beef Wellington bites. Everything was amazing! I would rate it 10 out of 10. Definitely will be back soon. read more

Another fabulous dinner at Mac's for our anniversary for party of 4. They were kind enough to provide us champagne as a celebration before our cocktails. Very nice of them . They then accommodated our request for foie gras (normally an adder topping for steak) as appetizers -phenomenal- and one of the very few places in town to offer it. We split two salads, a wedge - absolutely spot on- and a ceasar. My Delmonico ribeye entree was fantastic. One of our party had the trout, a second had the grouper and a third had the blackened snapper special. Each was terrific, and we took home three boxes. We tried sticky toffee pudding, and crème brûlée for dessert for the special occasion. As with everything else, these were delicious. I cannot recommend Mac's enough.. There is no better ambiance, service, selection or quality of the food than Mac's. Kudos to chef Mike Fuller. read more

The food was so good. We went on July 4 with 6 adults and 2 toddlers. I had salmon and pesto mashed potatoes-- wonderful. Others had burgers and I will say I'd go back just for the chicken sandwich. We all said it was awesome! I do not suggest the steak salad since it was maybe $24 with very little greens and 3 small strips of steak. Everything was great and we will go back! read more

Not a restaurant critic by any means. But here goes. Party of two at the bar during lunch Service: Good one on one but big congregation of waitstaff at restrooms discussing politics. Food: Raw oysters good but can't mess those up. Mignonette perfect. Burger over seasoned. Over cooked. Bun under toasted so disintegrated. Fried egg on top overcooked. Burger not blackened. English muffin cut in half vertically and not toasted inside and no butter. Arugula salad over dressed. Wagyu steak was good. Cleanliness: Lots of dust. Bathroom has vent next to toilet and is dust covered. Light fixture in bathroom has cobwebs. Arch of bar dusty. Overall:Meh. Particularly for the price. read more

I had to take a moment and send a quick note of thanks to the entire team at Macs. I've thrown a lot of parties. Typically, you can reflect on something and find an area that fell a bit flat or didn't quite show up the way you thought it would. Not only is that NOT the case here, but it's the complete opposite. Aside from the space being so great, the food quality, prep time and delivery being outstanding (no surprise there! It always is), the attention to detail with the special cocktail and the addition of the fillet choice on the menu which we weren't expecting, and the amazing handling of the group from arrival to departure, I don't know that I could have asked for more. However, you delivered more. Coming from a service background my entire life, I say this from the most truthful perspective from which I can approach it. I have NEVER seen service at the level Jesus and team were able to executed at yesterday. Never an empty glass, never an empty plate, never an empty SMILE from any of them. Kind, caring, considerate, and in touch with our groups needs from minute one. From Phil picking us up at the door and getting us to the room to the staff helping us out of the building when the night was over, it was impeccable from start to finish. I want to share this in hope that it gets back to the team with a most humble thank you for what you all did. My stepdaughter had a most memorable event, one I sense she'll look back on fondly for years to come, and that is because of each of you. Please extend our thanks to Phil, Jesus, the kitchen staff, the other waiters and bussers, and of course to you for all you did I did want to add one more thing here. Our guests couldn't stop talking about it either. Not only did they tell us at the party how great the service was, but many sent texts the next day. I think you gained a few more customers for Mac's, and I am sure they may have higher expectations now when they go to their "regular" restaurants. This will not be the last event we hold at your restaurant. I encourage anyone who needs a picture perfect event, to go to Macs on Marietta Square. read more

Drinks are the only reason I'm giving more than 1 star. I ordered the sea bass last night and it was disgusting! Not only was it NOT cooked it tasted rotten.

We came here for post Valentine's day Valentine's dinner because who likes a crowd? Anyway, they were still cute with Valentine's entrees (a pasta special, chateaubriand for 2, and maybe 1-2 others) My husband had the doctor is in & the Macs old fashioned (makers mark) & he really liked both. The second came in a smoked glass and had a cool presentation. He was definitely tipsy by the end of the meal so I'm pretty sure they were both strong drinks not too bad... Around $13-15 ish each I had a mint lemonade spritzer ($4) and it was great! Would def order that again but their cocktails also looked delicious. They also have mocktails (mactails) but they didn't pique my interest This trip we got the chateaubriand, lobster Mac and banana cream pie We accepted the bread and I'm not sure if it was complimentary but if was delicious with honey and butter & a super soft yeast roll each! We ordered the chateaubriand medium but its a thick cut so definitely came out more medium rare/rare and they did cook it more for us because I'm pregnant so I only ended up eating the most cooked pieces they gave and my husband ate the more med rare side. It was delicious though and the bone marrow compound butter ($9) so worth it! The sauce it came with too was also amazing. I was dipping everything in it like the fried lobster, the potatoes, parsnips, everything The lobster Mac was SO good with a great cheese pull and tons of fried & baked lobster. Would 100% order this again The complimentary aligot potatoes were ok. Nothing exciting but they're complimentary so ‍ no cheese pull lol We were torn on dessert because they all sounded good so I looked up pics on yelp & the banana cream pie sold us. First of all, It was huge. Could split between 3-4 people post meal. It's like a whole small pie and it was so creamy, so flavorful yet not too sweet. Bruleed bananas on top, a banana mousse that could've been ice cream, flaky crust, meringue... A must try. Honestly I'm excited just thinking about eating the leftovers of this one. We didn't finish any of our food because it was a ton for 2 people Whole bill came out to $230 pre tip They do have a wheelchair lift but she said you had to walk a stair or two after it so not really handicap accessible. They're attached to the raw bar portion though so might be able to sit there if handicapped because the chophouse downstairs only has booths. Parking is not a breeze in the square if you don't want to pay but there are a ton of garages/lots in the area & street parking is always full. read more

64 Health Inspection rating. Last several years rating has not been much higher. You would expect much better with the prices they charge.

Food was good and what you'd expect... if not better. But the service was some of the worst you could expect from a nicer place of its stature. My family went to celebrate another family members graduation, and our server checked on us just once... she also took forever, we sat upstairs and she worked the upstairs bar which was even more annoying because she was within close proximity the whole time. It felt like she knew she was getting that guaranteed 20% gratuity and could care less, it was disappointing. The atmosphere and everything else was great but spending $100-200 a person and not getting a refill made it not worth it. Service was the worst I'd been to out of the other restaurants I've visited in the same category and would choose most other steakhouse's considering that. read more

How in the world does a steakhouse run out of hamburger meat at 3 o'clock on a Thursday afternoon?? Poor planning, bad kitchen management, etc. Appetizers are just average, and the oysters are teeny tiny.

My wife and I decided to explore the Marietta Square for Mother's Day, and Mac's Chophouse was one of our stops. Overall, it was decent--not a bad experience by any means, but definitely left us wanting more, especially considering the number of steakhouses that raise the bar a bit higher. I started off with the Smoked Old Fashioned, which was flavorful and impressively potent--so much so that I ordered a second. The real stars of the night, though, were the appetizers. We had the crab cakes and the blackened shrimp, and both were dynamic in flavor. The crab cakes, in particular, were generously packed with crab and didn't feel filler-heavy at all. For entrées, I had the 16 oz Delmonico Ribeye, and my wife ordered the Steak Frites. Both steaks were cooked perfectly to temperature, but unfortunately, both lacked seasoning. It felt like the kitchen focused heavily on execution but left the flavor behind. The same could be said for the mashed potatoes that accompanied my steak--great texture, but underwhelming taste. I added the Mac's Side Trio, which was a smart way to sample more of the menu. I chose the mac & cheese, crispy Brussels sprouts, and blistered asparagus. The Brussels sprouts were easily the best of the three--crispy, well-prepared, and flavorful. The other sides were just okay. In the end, I'd give Mac's Chophouse a solid 3.5 stars. It's better than average, and you won't regret going, but with so many great steak spots in the area, I can't say I'm in a rush to return. read more
