From the wine list to the food offerings, I have no notes for this place. The idea of ordering a cruet from a wine tap instead of a bottle of wine is still very interesting to me but each pour tasted like it was fresh from a bottle. To eat, we ordered the chicken biscuit, brussels sprouts, and the daily pasta special. All food came out fairly quickly, and each item was absolutely delicious. 10/10 recommend.

The most recent visit last night might've been a 3 for one bit of bait & switch though the food was good & service adequate (our guy was pretty unfamiliar with the menu but was a bit charming/funny about it). The problem - one of their specials was advertised as a French bone-in ribeye in their weekly email. The waiter read it from his cheat sheet as same. Brother-in-law & I both ordered it. When it came, we cut in, only to find that they were giant pork chops instead. It was good but we asked about it. Befuddled, the server went & confirmed that it had been changed & said it would be discounted, which he did, so all's well that ends well.

Let's start that the food and ambience here are simply outstanding.

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!

A solid food option anchoring Marietta Square, Mac's Chophouse was a lovely last minute discovery…read morewhen 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!

I've been a Smyrna resident since 2017, and it's been great watching the city grow over the years…read more When I heard a brewery was coming to the area, I was excited. It took a while, but it finally opened--and it's even within walking distance of my house. I wanted to share a few thoughts, both positive and constructive, that I hope ownership and management will consider. Pros: 1. Friendly and welcoming staff. 2. Great location. 3. Solid beer selection. 4. A good variety of specials, events, and activities so far. Cons: 1. Noise level - On several visits, the music has been so loud that it's difficult to have a conversation without yelling across the table. One of the things I enjoy most about breweries is being able to relax and catch up with friends. If live music is part of the experience, consider hosting bands outdoors so guests can choose between a lively atmosphere and a quieter indoor space. Part of what makes places like Monday Night Brewing so popular is that they offer a comfortable environment where people can unwind after work and actually talk with one another. 2. Too many kids - I understand this is intended to be a neighborhood gathering spot, but at the end of the day, it's still a brewery. There are often a lot of children running around, and the playground nearby only adds to that dynamic. Comparing it to successful breweries like Monday Night Brewing and SweetWater, those places have traditionally catered more toward adults looking for an adult social atmosphere. Perhaps consider kid-free hours after a certain time or designate the upstairs area as 21+ only. The new two-story Grindhouse uses a similar approach, with all ages downstairs and adults-only upstairs. 3. Limited food options - The tacos are good, but tacos aren't always what people are in the mood for. Offering a few additional food choices could encourage customers to stay longer and visit more often. That said, having food service available is definitely a plus. I realize the "cons" section is longer than the "pros," but these are simply observations from someone who wants to see the brewery succeed and become a destination for regulars, not just occasional visitors. Thanks for taking the time to consider the feedback. Cheers, George

They're transitioning their entire menu to a small-plate concept, which is perfect for sampling several dishes. The salad was incredibly fresh, and the meatballs were chef's kiss!

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Marietta Proper in Marietta…read more We arrived around 5:00 PM on a Saturday without a reservation. The restaurant was not even half full, yet we were told that the indoor tables were "reserved" and that our only option was to sit at the bar. After going back and forth with the host, Jess, we were eventually offered outdoor seating, which we accepted. We ended up sitting outside for approximately two hours. However, when we were leaving, we noticed that the indoor tables we had been told were reserved were still empty. In fact, they appeared to have never been reserved at all. That was extremely frustrating because we would have gladly sat inside if we had simply been told the truth from the beginning. Jess was pleasant enough when we first arrived, but toward the end of our meal, the service became noticeably inconsiderate. Our dishes were left piled on the table while we were given the check, rather than having the table cleared and maintained appropriately. It made the end of the dining experience feel rushed and neglected. After finishing our meal, we asked to speak with a manager to express our concerns. Unfortunately, the only resolution we received was an apology. An apology is appreciated, but in this situation, it did not address the larger issue. The experience left me feeling that we were treated differently for not having a reservation, despite the restaurant having plenty of available seating. Based on this experience, I will not be returning to Marietta Proper. There are far too many restaurants in the Atlanta/Marietta area where customers can expect to be treated with honesty, consideration, and basic hospitality.

So good! We came on…read morea non-game day because this was close to our hotel. It wasn't very busy at 7:30pm on a Monday. Service was quick and friendly, and we were seated at an outdoor table that had a great view of the area. But the food! I got the brisket "burger", which is actually a chopped brisket sandwich, and it was really, really good. The fried brussels sprouts are amazing, with an Asian chili kind of sauce. BF ordered the smoked chicken plate and I was like, yeah that sounds kinda boring but what came to the table was actually so good I wished I'd ordered that too. He liked his Brunswick stew but would skip the jalapeno cornbread next time because it was just ok. We didn't have the kids with us, so I had a spicy marg that had big slices of jalapenos in it, and it was pretty good for the price. I'd definitely come back here if in the area.

You get it. $7 for a tiny cup of coleslaw is outrageous, except at a ballpark. The food was fine. Nothing we had really stood out, although the brisket on my Texas sandwich was pulled-apart tender. It comes with onion, pickles, and yellow mustard. Some BBQ sauce would have been better, but the brisket was good. The best thing we had were the fried pickles. The ranch they come with is really good. They have a very nice selection of craft beer and your standard beer, and T's cocktail with grilled pineapple was really good. Our server was very good and attentive. There are lots of places to eat at in the Battery before and after games. This spot is worth trying, especially for the beer selection.

Everyone we interacted with was kind, attentive, and welcoming, and the location right in Marietta Square is wonderful. We ordered quite a few dishes, including: * Manchego Stuffed Dates Wrapped with Bacon * Spanish Style Mac + Cheese * Gambas al Ajillo * Pinchos * Spanish Olives and Marcona Almonds * Pan Con Tomate Everything was beautifully presented, but unfortunately most of the food was underseasoned and a bit underwhelming. The desserts, though, were the stars of the meal. The churros, crème brûlée cheesecake, and especially the toffee cake with ice cream were all fantastic. The toffee cake was absolutely mind-blowing.

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.
