If you've ever driven past the Marietta Diner at night, you know it looks like a neon spaceship landed 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. read more

Hey there! You are not 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!

5 out 5. There's is a wait, but we did not have to wait more than 10 mins, which is understandable on how busy this Diner is! Food was delicious! I got the Western Skillet, got the wife Western Omelet & my boy some bacon & eggs! The vibe was great! Has an 80-90's Diner vibe, music isn't too loud which is amazing. You can hear people enjoying conversations at the tables & booths! Highly Recommend! read more

Once again this family of restaurants does not disappoint!!! The food is always as described and plentiful. The service never fails and it seems that each time we come we have a new Greek or Italian waiter/waitress, who is attentive and helpful. The menu is huge so make sure you have some idea of what you want to eat. The exterior is diner on . Great ambiance and desserts galore. Come and enjoy. read more

Who doesn't love a shiny diner! Great vibe, large space, and look at those desserts! I had the standard eggs, bacon, home fries breakfast. It was very good. Bottomless coffee is a plus! The music added to the ambience with 50s music playing. Service was good but a tad slow. It wasn't very busy when we got there. Seated immediately in a nice booth. I sure wish we had one of these where I live. Great place for brunch and open 24/7! read more

I ate French toast. The toast had a rubbery texture. It was quite tough. With the strawberry preserve, it was fine. The scrambled eggs were okay. The hash brown was nice. I ate the Turtle Cheesecake. It was quite sweet but it was wonderful. The desserts at Marietta Diner are great. The waiter gave us the Chocolate Suicide Cake as a gift. It was delicious. I love their Strawberry Cheesecake the most. read more

The place is nice and definitely something to stop and see, the staff is friendly and the ambiance is really Diner perfect. The menu is huge but really overwhelming. After finally settling on a chicken sandwich only because it said it was a "chicken cutlet" sandwich I was disappointed it was just a normal fat piece of chicken breast. A chicken cutlet should have been pounded out flat then hand breaded properly. Our fries were under cooked and cold. My husband ordered a French dip and was disappointed they put cheese on it, due to allergies he doesn't eat cheese. Traditional French Dips don't have cheese. Very cool place but for us the food we ordered was not very good, but the place was packed, so they must be doing something right. I would say go try this one for yourself, it just might have been us having a bad night. I can't say there was anything wrong with the chicken it just wasn't what I expected or wanted so for that I'm gonna rate them a 3. read more

Everything you could ever want. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert - 24/7! I love the Greek lemon chicken soup. The chicken and waffles are great, and the chopped steak dinner is yummy! Our server, Rengel, was so sweet and attentive. He asked us if we wanted a dessert after eating, our huge meals and we said no, but he was so sweet and brought our granddaughter a sundae. The place is always hopping, so if you don't want a crowd or to wait, you might want to consider going a little earlier for your meal. However, the service is so good and quick that you really never wait too long. It's always worth it. The restaurant is warm on the inside with sort of a dark interior and lots of mirrors. OK, so let's talk about dessert. Highly recommend the French silk pie, the apple pie, the tiramisu cake, the red velvet cake, the white chocolate raspberry cake, and the Boston cream pie. Go here! read more

You can find plenty of full scale reviews of the Marietta Diner on YouTube and across the Internet. It has been featured in television multiple times and is open 24/7. It even has a drive thru. My personal favorites are the gyro, the party melt, and perogies romano, but everything I've had here is consistently good. The servers are always top notch and it's constantly busy, even at midnight in a weekday. Truly a must visit if ever in the neighborhood for an authentic diner experience. read more

These people know how to move people in an out of a restaurant... we came in at lunch time and it was very busy but our wait was minimal for a table and then for our food. I ordered the Philly cheese steak and the server asked me if I wanted it with gyro chicken or beef. It took me a minute to process the question. I thought by definition a Philly cheese steak was beef. Anyway, we were in a hurry and passed on the desserts... we did pass by the case, though! read more

Went there for the first time as we are in Marietta & my wife had seen it on Guy Fieri's TV show. It's open 24/7 which is just crazy. The food is average but they give big portions and I think that's why the place is packed. The service was decent and quite busy so you need patience both to get in and to be served at your table. We also took 3 slices of cake home which I read are from Alpine bakery and pretty decent but close to $13/slice read more

Hers and mine had enough for 2-3 take home meals Finally, son had his usual here: chicken parm sub with fries. We couldn't leave without "death by chocolate" cake to-go read more

Marietta Diner went above and beyond again today. We encountered a very busy restaurant at lunch with standing room only in the hallways, yet the hostess estimated our wait time as 15 minutes. And sure enough, the staff delivered and had us seated within 15 minutes. My sausage and cheese omelette was delicious, as were the home fries,, although I did add salt, pepper, and hot sauce. My family enjoyed gyro platter with Greek potatoes and Greek salad., corned beef hash, and eggs. Our server was friendly, personable, and very quick. If you e never been to the Diner, you must see the display of stars on the wall with owner Gus, and Maria, owner Mom who is always watching and making sure everything is perfect. The display of cakes in the glass case is amazing in volume, size and color. The front hallway includes a Guy Fieri and Food Network video. This is a casual restaurant with diner flair. read more

Wife and I stopped here after not being at this location for years. Decor hasn't changed at all old style diner feel. Our server was friendly and fast, but the food is definitely changed over the years. Flavor has gone down and price has definitely gone up. Would be willing to pay the higher price if the quality was the same. I don't recommend the eggs Benedict because the hollandaise is flavorless. read more

The desserts are 10/10! I tried the cookies and cream cake and the cheesecake. The diner is super cute with photos of celebrities and other famous folks who have visited the dinner. It's very classic and friendly. The servers were patient with our large group and explained all of the various desserts they offered. Worth a stop for sure, and they stay open 24 hours! read more

I stopped in here on a work trip based on a recommendation from a coworker. It's a cool little joint that's got the old school diner feel yet a much larger footprint. It was full for a Wednesday night which told me right off the bat that it was good. The menu is very large almost like a book so there is something for everyone at this restaurant. I ended up ordering one of the Wednesday specials, because yes, they had a whole separate page just for the specials that day. Seafood amore... and man it did not disappoint. It's a large portion, just like everything else there, that had shrimp, scallops, and lobster ravioli in a bisque sauce. It really was a great dash. Ample amounts of all the seafood with a wonderful tasting bisque sauce- I would definitely order this dish again. Server was nice and attentive and food was served quickly. Good spot to eat! read more

We lived in the Marietta area between 1993 and 2000 so we had been to Marietta Diner many times before and since we were back in town for a Braves game, we hit it on a Thursday night and then again for breakfast on a Friday. Some things never change, the portions are massive and the service is quick, friendly, and efficient. I ordered a club sandwich, my wife ordered a tomato with chicken salad, and our son ordered an egg sandwich. We ordered an appetizer of onion rings, which of course was a mistake due to the amount of food in our order. The onion rings came out first. Large order with ranch dressing. Crispy and hot. They were very good. Again, I understand that is really doesn't take much to prepare a club sandwich but it was very good and the bacon was crisp and smoky. My wife and son really enjoyed their meals and spoke of how delicious they were. Again, massive portions. Friday morning our son chose the Marietta Diner again and we had breakfast. I ordered the deluxe pancake breakfast with home fries. My wife ordered Eggs Benedict, and our son ordered pancakes and bacon. Unlike many places, these pancakes don't rely upon syrup or toppings for their only taste. they are simply good. Bacon was cooked perfectly for my taste. The home fries were delicious and a massive portion. Again, I could not finish everything. Our son agreed with me on the taste of the pancakes. My wife loved the Eggs Benedict with the only complaint, one egg was cooked perfectly runny and the other overcooked. Service was fast and efficient again. If you are in the area and looking for quality food, good service, and a huge variety to satisfy anyone in your group, this is the place to go. read more

Love this diner! I love that they have a drive thru which moves pretty fast. 24hr diner with good food. No matter what time you go the food is consistently good. Free parking on site. Service is always good. I've tried the burger, wings, fries, milkshake and patty melt. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommend read more

I've loved the Marietta Diner for over 20 years. It's one of those reliable, family-friendly places with hundreds of options, and it truly never disappoints. One of our favorite traditions there is ordering multiple slices of cake for birthdays so everyone at the table can have a bite of several different (and very delicious) choices. The cake alone are worth the trip. read more

Seems like one of the many Atlanta staples that survived the Rona nonsense to stay 24 hours! I can appreciate that they stayed true this game... Now when it comes to diner style eats, this place does pass the bar when it comes to embracing the diner category. BUT... there is a glaring issue with this place... and it makes it difficult for customers to know what they are. Their menu is ginormous! Breakfast, griddle options, Greek options, Americana options, Italian options. It gets overwhelming and their website menu isn't helpful as it's literally just... a lot to take in! So I met up with a friend who recommended this place and I couldn't say no to a place that serves diner food so I obliged and it was rather cool to see a place that held true to the 50s style diner aesthetic and I totally appreciate that! The outside looks literally like one of those 50s style diners and the inside isn't that much different. The decor is definitely dated to preserve that classic diner vibe that looks to seat well over 100+ people. The service is professional, courteous, and prompt. I will say that the servers tend to hover a lot but overall, good service. Now for the food. It is literally a pricier Denny's or IHOP... I opted for the chicken fried steak and eggs since they serve breakfast all day. That's my staple litmus for an all day breakfast serving joint. Your chicken fried steak must be on point and to be honest, it was okay. The breading was seasoned nicely and it wasn't caked on like other places. The meat was tender and flavorful. The gravy was pretty disappointing as it was more of a sauce than a gravy. The grits were bland and needed help. The scrambled eggs didn't know what they were as they weren't diner style cooked because they literally also held a creamy texture in the middle of it, plus they were unseasoned and also needed help. For $18 with a $4 drink and tip, it was a $24 dollar breakfast for dinner for a relatively mediocre, halfway decent, not as hyped as Guy Fieri made it out to be... maybe I needed to have gotten what he got but for the record... they're a pricey 50s diner that could potentially beat Denny's or IHOP... read more

*Delayed post from April '25 I've eaten at Marietta Diner my whole life and it's still going strong. I ordered the spinach pie, which was flaky, buttery, cheesy, with just the right amount of spinach. The greek side salad didn't have the ripest vegetables, but the feta cheese and dressing pair deliciously with the entire plate. I also tried the Pastrami Smash Burger, which was really well prepared. The portions are huge, so don't expect to finish your plate. If you're willing to stop eating before your full, I recommend getting a slice of cake to share. The old school 50s environment is what really sells this place though, from the exterior neon and chrome design, to the interior wallpaper and booths. You can tell there's a lot of history despite only being around for 30 years. A great time to visit is 3pm in the afternoon, because your food will arrive sooner and service will probably be better due to the lesser number of patrons. read more

This place was in the top most reviewed places, so we definitely had to go. For ambiance I'd give this place a 5/5. The outside reminded me of my favorite Diners (they may have actually just taken the exact design, depending on which one is older). When you walk in there was a long line, but, the seats were comfy and the maitrede was very friendly. When you walk past this you get to see all the great desserts (and they do have quite a few) paraded by you. Dancing in a nice light, inviting you before you even have them. For service, beyond the maitrede, the first waitress seemed to get busy, and before it had been two minutes the owner said something to another server, and she apologized and immediately took over. You get that warm comfortable feeling as if you're at home (but can eat whatever you want when you want as it's open 24/7). They also have balloon animals for kids. Service I'd give it a 5/5. The server (I forgot her name but she was very sweet) noticed that I took one sip out of my wife's soda (just one!) and got us another one. She also got us the biggest slice ever of cheesecake mousse (thank you!). The food was definitely incredible. I got the Pierogi Remano with chicken and it was a one of a kind item that I'm going to ask my wife to make ( I kept asking her when we were there for this) when we head back home. It came with a soup and salad, and they even seem to make their croutons in house (so good!). My wife got the chicken gyro meal, which was healthy (not my type of Diner food) and she was unable to finish it as it was that big (my type of Diner item). I'd take off half a point for pricing, but, when you go 4.5/5 might as well... call it a 5/5 overall! I'm going to be back in a week for take out (Pierogi Romano and chocolate mousse). read more

Had a thoroughly enjoyable time, while meeting up with friends. As this was my 1st visit, I had no notion of expectations. Upon entering the full parking lot, under the colorfully lit sign, it was apparent that this place is quite busy. The drive-thru shares the same parking lot as indoor patrons. We added our name to the wait list and seated ourselves in the lobby area. Ourwait (11:30 pm-ish on a Thursday) not being very long at all, gave my friends plenty of time to give me the rundown of the fare. Nevertheless, I was floored by the huge menus with something to satisfy everyone, kids included. The dining area, bustling with courteous staff and patrons alike, opens to ample table and both seating. We were properly greeted by our server who took our drink orders & gave us time to make our choices. Dinner started it with bread and Spanakopita, quickly followed up by our matzo ball soup, salad and HUGE entrees. The servings are not for the weak, but you'll feel like you've been fed enough for one, so bring empty tummies! And forget calorie or carb counting; this is a full-on cheat meal. All the dishes were well prepared, nothing being overly-salted :) Then, of course, we cannot forget the dessert displays - one side, having pies and cheesecake and the other having just about any cake you could think of wanting to have, as a special treat. I took a Grand Marnier chocolate slice to go, but it was very little if any substantive Grand Marnier flavor...still a great chocolate cake overall. Definitely planning another visit to try some of their other fare... Bon Appétit read more

Always great food, Amazing service and just a great place to enjoy family. Reminds me of my Nonnie when we would have family gatherings.

We had such a fun time here--rolled into a completely lit up restaurant late night and cars were lined up at the drive-thru, people were still walking in, parking lot was full-but not too full that you couldn't find parking. We were seated immediately, but not before I ran over to the dessert counter to look at all the pastries. The waiters joked with us, were professional, and friendly. They started us off with spanakopita (spinach pie) and a giant, warm fresh loaf of bread (tastes like hawaiian bread). Super yummy, especially as it was complimentary, though the spanakopita was a bit greasy. All foods are in GIANT portions and I mean GIGANTICA. The Greek platters are amazing and the meats were all incredibly tender (you could literally chomp the lamb chops with your teeth; no knife required!) The pierogi is super creamy and decadent...we were very impressed. Dessert-wise, we got the key lime pie and key lime pie cheesecake--we prefer a tangier key lime pie and I couldn't taste the key lime in the cheesecake. We also got a baklava cheesecake, which was way too sweet for my liking, and some snowballs/wedding cookies, which were light and very nice. The desserts were a bit of a flop for me (minus the cookies), but might just be personal preference. I definitely want to try the carrot cake and other sweets next time. I'm giving this a 5 star for the entire experience. This is an awesome place to take out of towners and the fact that this is a 24/7 location makes it so convenient. We will definitely be back! read more

Food is hit and miss not much flavor-- really only go there because it's not Waffle House and some of the waitresses are cute

We were looking for a casual diner. This is it. Large portions at good prices. Service better and faster than expected. Odd location. Just an overall pleasant place. We were there on a busy 4th of July night. Excellent soups (I had 2). Everything is high calories, which we expected from a diner. Dessert cakes looked amazing, but we ate so much that we did not try the cakes. We pass Marietta every time during our long unpredictable road trips several times every year, so the diner being open 24x7x365 has a serious appeal to us. Overall, loved it. read more

Honestly the food wasn't amazing, but it's definitely an institution to visit if you're in the area. I find it endearing how proud they are that Guy Fieri visited this diner over a decade ago lol. The NEON and CHROME diner from the outside is insanely eye-catching and honestly, I love the retro maximalist look. It even has a drive thru! The interior, too, is like stepping into a time machine to the past. The menu, which is like a novel, also made me feel like I was in a fever dream. There were some truly shocking dishes that I'd never even envisioned before, like a tomato stuffed with tuna, egg, or chicken salad. Seriously, peruse the whole menu, because it's worth seeing all the crazy offerings. I decided to go the dessert route for dinner. I thought the cakes in the display case looked pretty enticing, and is a cake really that much different than getting French toast with all the fixin's? So I ordered the black & white cake and it was a ginormous slice of cake. I ate all the cake portions and left behind a lot of the frosting. It was a pretty good, but not incredible, piece of cake. I still rate the diner highly because I think I will remember this dining experience for a long, long time. read more

We stopped by Marietta Diner for lunch and it completely exceeded expectations. I ordered the Sunday special prime rib, and the portion was absolutely massive. It came with mashed potatoes, soup, a fresh salad, and bread. Everything was on point. The prime rib was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful. The bread alone deserves a mention, especially the baked spinach bread/pie, which was a great touch and something a little different. Service was just as impressive as the food. The staff was attentive, quick with drink refills, and handled everything smoothly. It was so good that I ended up bringing my entire team back while we were in town for a conference. We had a group of 12, and they accommodated all of us incredibly fast without any issues. On a return visit, I ordered the whole fried chicken dinner, and it was just as satisfying. Huge portions, well-prepared, and very filling. Honestly, I can't say anything negative about this place. The food is excellent, portions are generous, and the service is efficient. If you're hungry and want quality comfort food, this place delivers. read more
