    My daughter and I went here today and it was absolutely delicious. Not only was the food phenomenal, the fella at the counter was absolutely the sweetest. He was all smiles and so helpful. We can't wait to try more dishes!

    I love me some Mama J‼ She introduced me to Naija food when she was cooking out of her home. I am so proud she is in a brick and mortar now. This lady is hard working and her food is good. She cooks with love and makes you feel like family while feeding you. Please go support if you want to try Nigerian food. I've had okra soup, jollof rice, a shrimp dish and my sons love love love her rice and fufu. Thank you Mama J

    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!
