It tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp or some kind of warmer but definitely didn't taste like it was recently fried, just warm and not very crunchy. My wife's catfish was mediocre, and also luke warm. The baked potato was good as served. My granddaughter had the kids fettuccine alfredo with shrimp. She said it was very good. The service was just barely average. The waitress only made the bare minimum number of trips to our table and seemed to be in a hurry during each visit. This is the first time I had been there in quite awhile. It is not what it used to be.

Why have I never dropped a review for one of Marietta's finest places for seafood, pasta, steak and…read moredessert? Service is always top tier. The manager comes to check on every guest. The location has been updated (in 2023) so it's a Love Boat kind of theme. Blue walls, gold fixtures, there's an aquarium, a generous sized bar, booths and tables throughout. It's like an "under the sea" type of decor. A place you feel like you've gone somewhere but you never left Cobb County. I returned today after being away for some years. Why? Just cooking at home, eating at new neighborhood spots and the occasional food hall. But nothing beats the good ole MFM plates. Still get bread and salads with your meal. Hearty portions. Great taste. Today we kept it light - grilled filet of flounder, sweet potato and hush puppies. I had the Shrimp Savannah - Sautéed jumbo shrimp in a white wine lemon beurre blanc sauce with chopped scallions, diced tomatoes and bacon served with garlic mashed potatoes. The presentation, portion and flavor were amazing. I'm a big fan and will order this again. For dessert, the SF cheesecake was a great finale to our meal. We couldn't finish it so boxed it up for later. MFM is a local staple, it's where families celebrate and couples go after church. Go and try their other locations in the family of restaurants.

If you're in downtown Marietta and looking for great seafood, I highly recommend Mac's Raw Bar &…read moreMarket. It had been over a year since my last visit, and it was just as good as I remembered. The interior has a warm brick-and-loft atmosphere that's inviting and comfortable. This time I ordered the two crab cakes served over creamy mashed potatoes with sautéed spinach. I had never had crab cakes over mashed potatoes before, but the combination was outstanding. The margarita was excellent as well. One thing that really stands out is that they offer a military discount, which is always appreciated. If you're spending time in the beautiful downtown Marietta area, stop by Mac's Raw Bar & Market and treat yourself to some outstanding seafood. You won't be disappointed!

The Swamp Thing is my drink of choice, and I always start with the gator bites appetizer. My go-to entrée is the red snapper with extra lemon butter absolutely delicious every time. The service is always top-tier, and the staff does a great job of making sure you have an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend making reservations if you want a smooth dining experience, especially during busy times. The atmosphere is relaxing, with soft music playing in the background, but honestly, the food and good conversation make time fly by. Pappadeaux never disappoints, and I'll keep coming back for more.

Pappadeaux on Windy Hill is one of those places I've been to enough times to know exactly what I…read morelike. I love stopping in for Happy Hour when I can. It's a great way to grab a drink and a few bites without committing to a full dinner, and the bar area usually has a good after-work energy. As far as the food, I have several favorites. The Seafood Gumbo is always a good start, and the Seafood Fondeaux is rich, cheesy, and perfect for sharing. For entrées, the Redfish Pontchartrain and Fried Catfish are both solid choices. The Cobb Salad is another good option when I want something a little lighter. And I almost always get the Strawberry Lemonade. One important note if you don't eat pork: stay away from the Chicken & Sausage Gumbo and the Dirty Rice because both contain pork. I always appreciate knowing things like that ahead of time. The food is consistently flavorful and portions are generous, which is probably why this location stays so busy. Parking is technically ample because the lot is large, but don't let that fool you. After work and on weekends, this place can be packed. Give yourself extra time to circle the lot and find a space, and if you're coming during peak hours, be prepared for a wait. The atmosphere is lively and casual with that familiar Pappadeaux New Orleans-inspired feel. It's definitely not the place I'd choose if I wanted a quiet dinner, but for seafood, drinks, and a fun crowd, it works. I keep coming back because I know what I like, the food is dependable, and Happy Hour is always a good idea here.

The bulgogi was flavorful with the spicy sauce I was advised to dump on the dish. Full of veggies, squash, green onions, radish (?), and rice. Delicious! Omg the chicken wings were a favorite as the meat was tender and moist. The outside was crisp and perfectly seasoned. Could have made a meal of just the wings!!! My partner had the spicy pork which was amazing. I could have eaten that dish over and over. The sound and vibrations of the train were amazing. The only negative was the loudness of the other patrons. Birthday party. Will be back to try other dishes. Have been to Korea before on vacation. Food was great.

The grilling was immaculate- the meat held together but was perfectly tender to be separated with chopsticks. a slightly spicy, vinegary green onion salad was the perfect compliment to the rich, fatty mackerel. i will be getting this next time we come in. finally, we ordered the bingsu, a airy, fluffy pile of melt-in-your-mouth sesame snow covering a slightly deeper flavored sesame ice cream, covered with a milky sesame cream. that may all sound like a lot, but it was well balanced with sweetness, savoriness, nuttiness, and a bit of bitterness. everything came out at the perfect timing, and service was excellent. in all of our interactions with staff, service was at the level of a place with a much higher price tag. from the menu explanations to the presentation of dishes, the bar is evidently high for training. For all our food, the price was a little more than $100 , which feels like a bargain for a 3 course meal + alcohol.

It's a little off of the beaten path, but that's one of the best things about it. The staff is on point. The service is quick. The drinks are great. And the food will have you coming back.

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!

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!

We were a group of 5 and that was pushing it so I'd definitely say no more than 5-6 people. We sat outside and the weather was beautiful. Just a heads up--this restaurant seems to be dog friendly. As a dog owner myself that is something I'd like to know but I understand the hesitation when you're sitting and eating next to a dog. However, doesn't take away from the cleanliness or the service of the restaurant. We ordered the Mezze trio as an appetizer. Everyone loved the hummus however my favorite was the red beet root. I also loved that they can refill the pita bread which went by quickly. Most of the table ordered the lamb skewers which I thought was a good. I'd give it an 8/10. I thought the flavors paired nicely and it was a different taste than the skewers I've ordered before. My brother ordered the salmon and he really enjoyed that. The service was nice however it did take at least 45 minutes for us to get our food which was a bummer. Definitely could see this being a nice, chill lunch or dinner spot.

Over the bar was a large screen TV showing beautiful scenes of Italy, with contemporary Italian pop playing in the background. I started with the soup of the day, which was lobster bisque that was so full of lobster that I would call it a stew versus a soup. The complimentary bread was slightly toasted and topped with aromatic herbs that paired perfectly with the olive oil with which it was served. My entree was a special, and was the short rib. There was nothing "short" about it as the huge beef rib had a bone that overhung the plate that a caveman would be proud to own. The beef was fork tender and the steak knife provided with it wasn't necessary. It was paired with a delicious and sweet wine sauce. And the side was tender gnocchi (al tartufo) in a rich and creamy sauce flavored with truffle. Since they also have Risotto al Tartufo on the menu, that will definitely be on my list for my next visit. And I definitely want to bring my wife to that next visit because the flavor and food were so wonderful, it's a great place for a date night.
