The food is delicious however, there might be a wait. They have an excellent pot roast and fried chicken to die for!

Let's start with the positive...the customer service is great...no issue there. I ordered the fried chicken...another positive: the chicken was fresh, cooked to order. Now, about the food...the macaroni & cheese was gross - I literally had to just throw it away. The collard greens were flavorless and undercooked. The fried chicken was not seasoned well - tasted like the oil it was cooked in. read more

Surprising little place. We have tried different little southern cooking places in the area, but, in my humble opinion, I think this one is the best. It is a little place with tables that aren't level abd chairs different types of chairs, just what you would expect in a little country eating place. This did not effect the taste of the food though. It was very good. We had lunch yesterday and plan to go back for breakfast soon. Our waitress was nice and courteous. She was there to serve and all of our needs were met promptly. I would definitely recommend this place. Try it out for yourself. Unfortunately, no military discount though, but that will not stop me from going back. read more

Stopped in Saturday afternoon, service was fast and friendly, food was good. The mac'n cheese was a little short on the cheese but was still tasty. I had the roast chicken, she had the chop steak and we split an order of Fried green tomatoes that was off the chain. Been a fan of the restaurant since they were in Hapeville. read more

We got there and we were told to sit anywhere, which I thought was odd because they should be attempting to social distance. We chose a booth in an empty corner and asked if it could be cleaned because there were crumbs all over. We were told to sit somewhere else and the hostess kept pointing to tables right next to occupied tables. We cleaned the table ourselves. People were walking around freely without masks and NOT ONE person in the kitchen had a mask on. And other staff had their masks under their noses and chins. Then, a family of 4 came in... not one of them with a mask... and where did they choose to sit? Right next to us even though there was a 3rd empty booth right next to it that would have left space between us. We asked for our food to go... and I had to come back because they had forgotten items. I would have given them a 2, but the food was just meh. Our waitress was very nice. read more

Not one of my favorite experiences... I ordered salmon with eggs that came with cheese grits, biscuit, water, side of tomatoes and orange juice. He ordered western omelet with home fries, biscuit, water, and coffee. Well let's begin....the waitress was not pleasant, it took 10 minutes to get food -it was fresh and hot on the bright side. My salmon was more flour than any salmon and it was fried with corn meal. I asked for my eggs to be cooked light and they were hard. We only received one glass of water and the coffee was weak. Customer service was blah but maybe you have to be a regular-regulars received terrific service. The options for veggies was grande, which is a vegetarians dream. Unsure if cooked with/without meat. I should've gave them 2 stars for the tude and horrible service but like I said the food was cooked hot and fresh. read more

You know, there is something to be said for finding excellence in simplicity. I first visited M&F's when they were in Hapeville. I recently got a chance to have breakfast at the McDonough location and found the place is as good as it ever was. Staff was very friendly and attentive, but they know when to leave me (doing a breakfast meeting) alone, and when to check in. And the food is a simple exercise in doing good, old-fashioned, Southern-comfort-food with excellence. I mean, on the one hand, this is no-frills dining. The environs are simple. There are no linens. But on the other hand, the food is fantastic. Breakfast (for me) usually means eggs and a biscuit. The eggs were not overdone, and the biscuit was a good size--not to big and not too small. It crumbles a little, but that's because it's likely handmade, just like everything else that comes out of the kitchen. But the pancakes are huge. Portions on other things like the omelettes and the meat & three lunch things they do are going to make sure you go home happy and full. Folks in the kitchen clearly know what they're doing. I'll be looking forward to my next visit. Holler if you're coming with. read more

Quite an experience in extremes. Starting with the best, service was friendly, facility is a little stark but clean and in good repair. The western omelet and grits were tasty and plentiful. The homemade sausage was flavorful and huge portion. Things started to go downhill from there. The biscuits were too moist, almost gooey, not flaky at all, doughy. The home fries looked deep fried but not crispy at all and unseasoned. The deal breaker and bad enough to scar the whole meal was the "gravy". No seasoning, library paste. Inedible. read more

Just an FYI. Maritza and Frank have moved just a few miles up the road to College Park and have closed this location.

Good breakfast with large proportions. This was ham and two hot cakes. Also entree with two eggs, grits and toast. The coffee is very nice too. Definite come back here for another breakfast delight. read more

I've never at lunch or dinner here, but the breakfast is really good and for the price you can't beat it. The homemade sausage reminds me of the fresh sausage we had as kids on the farm. read more

I have been to this place a couple of times. After first time, thought if this many people come here, it has to be pretty good. Update - it is not. Have not tried breakfast, only dinner and both times it was sorely lacking. Leaving this place off my "go to" list going forward. read more

So, I tried this place because I drove by it several times. Well, I should have kept going. My initial thought was this was a nice spacious restaurant. There wasn't many people in there. Our waitress, Ms. Rose was great. There was only two waitresses and they appeared to be busy. In passing while seated at the table I asked the other waitress about the Wi-Fi code she said she didn't know it and never broke stride. She kept walking towards the back of the restaurant. Rude. I came here for breakfast. I had the salmon biscuit, which was a salmon coquette with a biscuit. The croquette was filled with bread and it wasn't good at all. The home fries as fresh potatoes cut up and fried like french fries. They were decent. The prices are reasonable and I'm sure someone will enjoy the food and the service. As I said, Ms. Rose was great. read more

Food was amazing best omelet and ham steak I have ever had .. was so good we went back for dinner I ordered the Mac and cheese green beans and the sirloin steak was cooked perfectly and well seasoned the staff there was so friendly and great we will definitely be back and recommend anyone looking for a great breakfast lunch or dinner to go here read more

My first visit here...Kinda disappointed , Menu doesn't reflect everything they offer. You'd think with the size of the building and the initial presentation there'd at least be a salad bar, especially with the prices. Atmosphere is very positive. Service is pleasant. Will let you know how the food turns out.. ***UPDATE*** The food was absolutely AMAZING! It makes up for my initial disappointment upon seating. read more

It's filthy! Customer service was horrible and flies were flying everywhere. This was back in July. Last time I rode by it looked like Hattie Marie's BBQ was opening. I'm excited to see if it opens read more

We were pleasantly surprised at this cute place. We had breakfast and it was very good. Greeted with smiles and locals wishing us a good morning and Maritza was a bright spot in our morning read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants for an old time, down home breakfast. Had breakfast there Mother's Day. Been there several times and food and service was always great. But Sunday's service was a little shoddy. The waitress just did not have it together. Waited too long for my order to be taken... too long for silverware (after food was served) and too long for coffee refills. And she seemed to be irritated when I'd remind her.... And I drive 25 miles one way to get there!! read more

Nice large dining room; large clean bathrooms; very good service. As for the food, it was alright. Nothing to write home about. I had the fried chicken & my husband had the chopped sirloin. It was good, but a little tough & veggies were good. read more

Really good food and good prices. Breakfast was so good. Corned beef hash was delicious and biscuits were sooooo good! We will be back

I did not have a good experience at this restaurant. I arrived at the restaurant before others people arrived. They were immediately served and I was at the dinner table waiting for a waiter to express a little hospitality. After waiting for so long, I left. I had no desire to eat or pay for the food. Ladies and Gentlemen. I suggest taking your family to a more friendlier place. Don't hand your money or tips to this restaurant until it improves in the area of customers service. read more

I eat here regular awesome food breakfast is great. Staff is even better Tina, Nancy, Lindale always get my order correct.

First time here. Will not ever return. Most unfriendly, and unprofessional restaurant I have ever been to. No one to greet you, it was only two of us but none of the servers seemed to happy to want to serve us. We sat for 10 minutes then finally grabbed a server no idea if she was supposed to be ours or not but we just wanted to eat!! Never received our food after 30 minutes or more!!! How in the world anyone continues to go there is baffling!! Waitresses seemed miserable which tells us management is probably not any happier. read more

My husband and I ate there on Sunday and enjoyed everything about your restaurant. The food was totally amazing, hot and fresh. The service was outstanding and uncomparable. Our waitress was definitely a keeper. The fact that everyone wore masks and there was social distancing between tables was remarkable. I felt safe. Thank you so much for a wonderful dining experience. read more

I don't normally do this about a place but we had the worst food and service today at a local restaurant. Husband and I went to Southern Cooking Restaurant on Industrial Blvd in McDonough after church about 12;35. We knew it would be busy but I like the vegetables. We were behind a family of 15 and was told to go ahead and seat ourself. Waitress took order for drinks and I ordered fried tomatoes. Waitress brought drinks and tomatoes and took our order for lunch. Other families came in, ate and left, including our preacher. We asked another waitress if she could check on our food. She never came back. Party of 15 ate and left. I asked a different waitress for the manager and was told they didn't have one. I said that explains the chaos. Waitress agreed. About 1:50 we got our food and it was wrong. Waitress said it took a while because the back lost our order. She also said that she didn't know why it got lost because it was placed when tomatoes were. We told her to just take the food back and give us the bill for tomatoes. She brought the bill and we went to pay. By now it is 2 and we still had to wait for someone to ring us up. A young man asked if we like our food and my husband said don't know, didn't eat, service was bad. Young man said "if you don't like it, don't come back". I said ok and i know how to use Facebook. He said "ok use Google too". I asked for his name, he said John. We will not go back! read more

I will not be returning to this restaurant. I was having lunch there with a friend and was given very bad service. It took forever to get our drinks and then we had to wave her down to come and take our order. I don't think she ever came back to refill any of our drinks during our lunch. I ordered the fried chicken and when it came out the chicken was bad. When I bit into the leg it was dark brown and had a terrible taste. I couldn't even pierce the thigh with my fork it was so over cooked. I pointed this out to our server and she informed me that there was nothing she could do about it. I asked for it to be removed from my bill. She told me to talk to the cashier and see what she could do. The cashier told me the owners would not allow her to make the discount. I told her I refused to pay for bad food. She finally called over a teenage girl, who I was told was the owners daughter and she authorized the cashier to take $2 off my bill. I was outraged! I paid my bill, but it will be the last time I step foot in there. I will also be telling others not to eat there as well. On top of that they charge you if you ask for a to-go box! Who does that? read more

Should have listened to the waiter when he said barbeque sandwich was not a "traditional" BBQ. It was a piece of grilled pork tenderloin chopped in half inch pieces and sauce poured over it. Meat was dry and the sauce was the only thing BBQ about it. read more

It was my first time at Maritza and Frank's Southern Cooking. Let me just start off with the customer service was great, the atmosphere nice and calm. I ordered a vegetable plate and it was great. It's not a lot of restaurants that can cook turnips and baby Lima beans but Southern cooking paid attention when mom was teaching them out to cook. Thank you. I will see you again soon. read more

Very good. Close to home cooking. So.e tho s are spot on. Others are close. We make it a point when traveling to be in the area at lunch time. Served pretty quickly so no worries there either. Enjoy! read more

Went in the other day with my daughter to eat breakfast, I've been here about 10 times total. Was about to leave and asked for a to go box. Waitress took ticket off table and returned with check and to go box with a charge if 25 cent for box. I will never go back. read more

Best lunch, breakfast and Fried Shrimp in the US. Amazing Staff is great We love it. Everyone that we invite to eat with us there loves it. read more

Was very disappointed in this restaurant. The waitress was very rude. The food I ordered from the menu was not even prep or prepared. She took my husband's plate before he was even finished. She did not asked if we want dessert. Did not ask if we want refills on our tea. The food tasted like it came out of cans and boxes instead of southern cooking. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

We stopped for breakfast on our way to Florida. We were a little concerned at first because we were the only people in the restaurant at 7am on a Monday. The breakfast was delicious, however. Be sure to get the homemade sausage patties. I got an extra biscuit to go and took the second sausage patty with me as well - sausage biscuit for breakfast tomorrow! The home fries were also especially good - big and crispy. read more

Thought I'd stop and try this place since it was new. To be honest, the restaurant is nice and clean as you'd expect of a place that hasn't been open long. The seating seemed really odd to me. Another reviewer said it made him for uncomfortable and I totally agree. As far as the food goes, it couldn't be any more bland. I heard several folks in my vicinity complaining to their waitress about the rock hard corn bread, and mine was the same. I got the fried chicken, which was decent but not great. The pieces were small and lacking flavor. The staff was ok. I've been once and don't plan on returning. read more

Great food great service I love the breakfast. It's some good old country cooking ..reminds me of home cooked meals.. the tea is so good

Service is very very slow. And the food was ok. Wont be back that is for sure. Have sections, seat people that way the customers dont get ingored. And the servers know who is waiting on who. Dont serve gravy that looks like it has been sitting all day. read more

The food is usually very good, but the service is not. Was there today and our server did not even crack a smile. She was curt and rushed. The place was not full of people, but our food took much to long to arrive. Some members of our party did not get what they ordered because they were out. It seemed obvious that they were understaffed. read more

Been coming here since it opened. The people are very nice and the food is really good. The decor is more like a cafeteria, but if your traveling through the area along Interstate 75 this a really good stop for food. I especially like the breakfast and the homemade sausage. Really good prices to. read more

Won't come here again. Brought our food out individually, one at a time. By the time we got our food half the food was cold. I got the "pulled pork" and it looked like sliced up pork smothered in Ketchup. Disgusting. The Mac and cheese and rolls were the only good thing. The server was awful as well, it would take her ten minutes to get us anything. Highly recommend not eating here. read more

Will never eat here again. I ordered the Beef Bbq, and what I got was sliced up Roast with a crappy store bought BBQ sauce all over it. The Garden salad was iceberg lettuce and shredded cheese with minimal dressing. The waitress asked me about the food and I complained about the roast and sauce. She told the owner Frank and he said it was a roast with sauce and if I wanted Bbq then I should go next door to O.B.s BBQ. But clearly on the menu it says Bbq plate beef or pork. I was going to have my wedding rehearsal dinner here but that to Frank's attitude he will lose out on that business too. read more
