Service was great and Drew was spot on with his recommendations. Also, the flounder sandwich was fantastic with the collards.

This is my go to place for friendly service and delicious food. I always can count on bringing home half the meal for dinner that night. My personal favorite is Reuben sandwich, and the chicken cheesesteak along with The jalapeño coleslaw a big shout out to one of the friendly servers Devin. she's fast, accurate and friendly with her service. A pleasure to work with. read more

Me, My wife and son come here on occasion. It's a very convenient location for us. Huge portions. Enough for leftovers! Friendly staff. Very tasty dishes. The food came out fast. read more

I want to preface that the food is good, y'all. But when it comes to dining in, you can't hang on the laurels of the menu alone. 1) The floors are disgustingly gummy and sticky. Not a great, sanitary first impression. We're talking WORSE than movie theatre floors. My beige suede booties were covered in black..ick by the end of the experience. A daily, hell, weekly moping job wouldn't harm the appeal of this restaurant. Furthermore, when we got home, our hair and clothes smelled like old fryer oil. Something about this place just feels icky and poorly maintained. 2) Service was abysmal. No charisma, despite it being my 60-something year old mother's birthday. Never pre-bussed a thing. Rarely came by to refill beverages. Toward the end of dinner, I tried to pull her aside near the bathrooms to say I wanted to grab the bill as a treat to my parents. In a fluster, she barked at me and said, "I haven't printed the check yet!". I assured her I wasn't looking for the check yet, I was just asking her to give it to me or my husband instead of my parents when we were ready. 3) Very little "healthy" options. Most veggies are fried or tossed in cheese or simmered in animal lard (broccoli casserole, fried okra, green beans with pork, etc). Again, in our server's inability to display any personality, I asked, "can I upgrade to a side salad for my side?" She sighed and said, "No. that's not on the side menu. A side salad would be $2.49." (That's literally what I asked) 4) In no way am I implying a restaurant is obligated to sing, comp a dessert or meal for someone's birthday. But our server's complete lack of warmth put a damper on my mom's day. She apathetically asked if we wanted dessert, but didn't bother bringing a dessert menu. It was clear she was more interested in turning the table. Not in any hurry to return. There's plenty of other southern food favorites around Marietta/Cobb with far better service and cleaner practices. read more

Great southern diner food. Their sides of fried okra, stewed tomatoes & okra, Lima beans, black eyed peas, Mac & cheese, and many more are extremely popular. Their fried grouper is the best in Atlanta. read more

Reliable Southern fare for the most part - variety of entrees come with 2 sides as well as sandwiches. Pro tip: wife & I get the pecan pork chop ($15 for 2 tender chops/2 sides & blueberry chutney) & split it. It's plenty & they're glad to bring an extra plate & throw on an extra corn muffin. Other solid choices: Turkey/dressing, country-fried steak, Shrimp Po-boy. Meatloaf & either of several good burgers. read more

A friend recommended and we were so surprise. The food was great, service was great and I would definitely visit again. Great spot.

We had a large party and were seated quickly - even though they were pretty busy. The server was so friendly and helpful. All the food was fantastic. Can't wait to come back and try something else from their menu! read more

Popped in after Kennesaw Mtn hike on New Year's Eve. The place was packed and we waited a bit but that's to be expected. Our server was quick and got us drinks and our order very fast upon being seated. We got the burger which was huge and pretty good! We also got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with a salad. The Hot chicken was ok - could have been spicier and it was fried. I liked the fried coating - they definitely used buttermilk which I like. I got the spicy ranch dressing which had jalapeños in the dressing - it was just the right spicy and the salad had a ton of toppings. My one ding on the salad was about 1/3 of the lettuce was slightly frozen but that probably came from being prepped early...not a Huge deal but thought I would call that out. We had no room for dessert but they looked good! The space is one big open room So it's a little loud but definitely on par for a diner. We will definitely go back when we hike over there on a Sunday! read more

Food is great. I get the mesquite grilled pork chops most of the time. staff is very friendly. The patio in the summer is always nice.

We came to West Cobb Diner last night to have dinner with friends. It was crowded. We were seated at a high top table rather than having a long wait for a table. The server was a few minutes in coming, but we were ready, when he came, to order. The friends with us ordered the same things as we did. Then began a 50 minute wait. During that time two other couples were seated beside us that received their food. One couple actually finished eating and we still had not received our food...or a visit from our server to explain the wait. We finally called another server over and was told "parties of two will receive their food before a party of four because it is faster!" Our server f I n a l l y showed up and we were told there was a problem with the order tickets. Our food, just ours, finally showed up. Our friend's order did not. When it finally came, it was incomplete, so we had to wait a few more minutes for the arrival of their order. By this time my vegetables were barely warm, and were, thankfully, replaced. We finally, almost an hour after arriving, enjoyed our dinner. Two things, other than the very obvious, really surprised and bothered me. 1. During all this debacle we did not see, much less receive a visit from a manager... or our server, for that matter, with out having to inquire from another server. 2. Our bill showed no compensation for the terrible experience. Surely a reduction in price, or the offer of a free desert, or SOMETHING would reflect their acknowledgment of such poor service. The food was good once we got it. read more

Service was 5 star. Amazing variety of choices. We got salads and split the shrimp dinner, plus I added the Red Beans & Rice uplifted side. It was perfect, with a kick. Shrimp were lightly beaded, some spice. Hot. Way more than two of us could finish. Fries dead on. read more

Food is always good and so is the service! We frequent this diner quite often! So should you!!

Home made happiness! You my what to share a plate. Large servings. The almond crusted trout is very good! I've also had the Ruben and their fried chicken. Service is good too, get there early or you might have to wait. The wait is worth it! read more

Dylan was horrible. Had an attitude from the get go. Service was slow. Dirty dishes left on the bar next to where we were sitting. Will not go back which is a shame. We've been going for years. read more

Prior to Covid, I would say they were a four. Good quality food and great service. After about five or so pickup orders that are consistently late, I think I am done for a while. I regret pretipping because the place is not what it used to be. I really would Like to understand this after seeing so many people walk out with to go orders while my order is 19 minutes late. The medium well burger was cooked well done. The medium burger was medium rare! read more

These folks get it! Really good food. At reasonable prices these days. Best servers I've been around in a while. If there's an issue they fix it. Currently I'm on the keto diet so I'm having blackened fish and nothing fried but when I'm off that diet it's going to be back to chicken fried chicken, fried asparagus and the roast beef sandwich with tomato jam again! read more

I've been coming here for years, and I look forward to the specials and / or the standard menu (meatloaf is the best around. This time, 12/18, it wasn't so good . Apparently, I had a new waiter who needs a little more training. Had to get up and go to the bar to get a refill. When he dropped the food, we didn't see him for a while. Food, ok; chicken waffle OK, Nathan Hot Dog OK, but bun was burnt and hard. The French fries just weren't good, tasteless, and just barley warm. Would have said something, but the server wasn't around. I hope this is just an anomaly, because I really love this place. read more

My bicycling group have lunch at the West Cobb Diner every Thursday . They serve the best meals in the area with generous portions, great friendly servers and a visit at your table from the manager. read more

We have ordered take out several times and have never been disappointed. Excellent food and staff. We will continue to order here when we are visiting Marietta read more

So the atmosphere is not as ritzy as some dinners: it's just an open space with tables and booths, so if you are looking for an upscale diner date night, this is not your place. However, it has live music on the patio outside when it's warm and the food tastes home cooked. The place is delicious and menu items are prepared with care. Have you ever heard of tomato pie? It exists and it is made fresh at West Cobb Diner. Have you ever had Vidalia Onion gravy? Try it here too. This is the Best of Southern diner food with a gourmet twist. read more

Everything is so good. Awesome portion size and yummy. I highly recommend this place. They have a lil something for every food-mood imaginable. read more

Great menu selection of staple southern food. Our party of 4 ordered various hamburgers, and I ventured out and ordered the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and fried okra. The steak was very thin, with heavy breading, but had a good taste. Very crispy batter (think extra crispy KFC style). All food came out hot and fresh and staff was very friendly. I would like to go back and try other menu items as well. Large selection of desserts (cakes and pies) but we were pushed for time and could not stay. read more

Sorry to have to downgrade from my previous 4 and 5 star reviews. Also - not sure why I typed 'turkey' instead of chicken breast in my last review, but Yelp won't let me edit it. Lol. Background I've been on the search for a good old fashioned southern fried pork chop. I had the pecan crusted pork chop previously and it did not go well, but the person doing the recommendation swore that they had 'regular, fried' pork chops, so I gave them a call. So glad I did. Interior / Exterior The inside of the restaurant was sorta dark, so I can't speak to the cleanliness - but the mat / rug that I was standing on was sticking to my shoes. Weird. I've never had that happen with a mat before. The exterior / parking lot is okay. I parked at curbside, but went inside. I always get a little anxious backing out from their curbside spaces because if someone's parked next to you, you're backing out blind. The other spots are extremely narrow. I'm okay in the Camry, but this car feels like a boat compared to the Camry. But I digress ... Customer Service Brittney answered the phone without identifying the restaurant name and seemed a bit taken aback when I asked if it was West Cobb Diner. I voice dialed her via Google and I've been getting some misdials with that service lately. I asked about the pork chops and she confirmed that they could fry them up in the traditional southern way. I think they were pretty slammed, because she put me on hold for a bit, so I hung up the phone and planned to just place the order in person. She was nice enough to call me back. She was hustling when I arrived, working in store and curbside, but still managed to be friendly. 5 stars for this employee. Food I still don't particularly like the waxy french fries they use here, so I opted for one of today's special sides - the spicy, fried cauliflower. They also had pinto beans as a special and the rest of their traditional sides. I crossed my fingers and went with a double order of the cauliflower. My pork chops looked glorious. Lol. I should point out, these weren't actually pork chops. They were pork cutlets. One of them was dark, it was more of loin cut, HEAVILY marbled and edged with fat. The other one was also a cutlet, but it was white meat. Both were delicious. I only took 2 bites of the second one before I got too full, so I'll finish it for my lunch break tonight. The cauliflower bites looked beautiful. They were fairly spicy, nothing insane and I think most people will enjoy these. I asked for a dipping sauce and I was given a tiny cup of Ranch dressing. I wound up not using any of the dressing, but if I had been using it there was no way this would have been enough for all of those bites. Which segue ways nicely to my next heading - Price / Affordability My food came up to a little over $20 and I tipped $5. I was a bit taken aback by the price (this doggone pandemic) but the bites were plentiful and the two cutlets were fairly large. IDK ... The pandemic HAS caused prices to soar but I thought this meal was around $15. I forgot to mention that it also came with a corn muffin, but I didn't try it. COVID practices Most of the staff appeared to be wearing masks, but the server and two staff members behind the counter were not wearing gloves. Other / Overall So - if the food was excellent and Brittney was awesome and price was fairly good, why only 2 stars? It's because while I was standing there waiting on my food, there was an employee standing over the one of the food preparation station eating from a tupperware container. I didn't get his name (AA male, wearing a wool skull cap - also yikes - slender build, short, with not inconsiderable facial hair), but the other employee (AA female) must have said something to him. He looked up at me, shot me a look, then turned his back. Wow. I couldn't believe it, so I snapped a photo of his back. After a few moments, he moved his food (and himself) out of my line of vision. But here's where it gets weirder. After this, he starts loudly talking to someone. His voice was heavily accented and there were a few French words peppered here and there - but he kept telling the person, "She's too big for me." He said it 4 - 5 times. Unsure if he was referring to me - I don't think he was ... unless he was talking to AA female employee from before. She'd disappeared. What I will say, is that I think I can safely say on behalf of all the big women in America - no tears will be shed because this dude has a personal 'no fat chicks' rule. Lmbo. Later, I was sitting in the car, figuring out my next move and getting my food set up for driving, he came out of the restaurant - then went to the car to get cigarettes. He was lighting his cigarette and walking into my path while I was backing from my space. All I can say is I hope he wasn't the person that prepared my food. He looks like the personification of food poisoning. Lmbo. read more

This is where I go for my "comfort food". I recently had a stomach virus issue and couldn't eat and could hardly drink for 4 days. The first thing I wanted to do was to visit Loren (the owner/operator) and get me some collards, beans and Key Lime pie. I love their coffee and tea as well. The only problem I see with this place is that you'll need to plan for a doggy-bag. The portions are huge. My gf and I usually split whatever we agree on eating. I have so many favorites on this menu that I can't pick just one, but just know that you'll have more sides than you'll see anywhere. If you're vegetarian (and I'm not) you'll have MUCH to choose from. This place, for good reason, has a high volume every day, but the staff makes it look easy and Loren is a regular James T Kirk at the helm. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. read more

This food is good. Really good, and it appears to be popular with the locals. I learned about it is on Trip Advisor and happened to be in the area doing some shopping and exploring and all of sudden noticed that it was in the area. I decided to order takeout, and they offer takeout and delivery via Grub-Hub as you can order on-line. I got the smoked gouda burger, which it took two hands to hold and eat. The bun was toasted. There were two hearty pieces of bacon it, and it was huge, hot, and delicious. The black-eyed peas were perfectly cooked, hot, and had pieces of smoked turkey, I believe, in them. That recipe was right out of somebody's Southern Grandma's kitchen. The cooked them until they made their own gravy. Whoever made those really knows good cooking and good eating. The mac and cheese was amazing--delicious, cheesy, rich, and baked, just like real mac and cheese is supposed to be--none of that stove-top stuff. Finally, I finished with their Red Velvet Cake, which was moist, delicious, and full of flavor with real cream cheese icing with pits of pecan therein. You gotta love this spot. The hostess and waitress/waiter staff were very nice, even to those who are not dining in. I will definitely return to dine in with fam and/or friends. Amazing food and in a nice, hometown, and local spot. They also have ample parking and outdoor seating. They do the diner thing right. read more

West Cobb Diner - DINER DIP - Diners Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

So went here for Mother's Day was told the Mac and cheese was good. Y'all it was good. The shrimp on grits were not so good. They were too runny and white not grainy at all and they didn't taste like anything. So I do not recommend the grits. The shrimp however were fried and had good seasoning on them. My hubby had salmon and he enjoyed that and his sides. The children had burgers and Mac and cheese they enjoyed that. Overall experience is was cool not your typical diner setting. The waitress was very attentive and sorry that I didn't like the grits that she gave me a slice of cake and the Mac and cheese on the house and I was grateful and thankful for that. I will return to try some of the other menu items they looked good and it was right in my community not far at all. read more

This is my go to when I'm in town. Everything here is delicious. My fave is the turkey dinner. It takes me back to holidays every time I have it. You'll need a to go box because they don't play around. Bring your stretchy pants and get your taste buds ready. read more

Food was good... server was very nice. Giving it a 3-star rating for that. We had the meatloaf, the salmon and a club sandwich for our party of three. All very good. Only problem: Floor is in need of a good cleaning. My shoes stuck to the floor & there was a fair amount of mulch from outside that needed to be swept. I saw a vacuum by the front door (not in a closet or in the back). Not sure if it was broken? I realize there is a shortage on staff for many restaurants, so I will try it again to see if the dining room is in better shape. Hope they can take care of that. read more

Yummy Sunday lunch with the family. Waited maybe 10 minutes for a table around 1:30pm. They have great service and our food was excellent. We were glad to find a place with "home cooked" vegetables. They have so many options that everyone in the family will find something to enjoy. This one is on the come back list if we are in the area again. read more

This is a great place if you want benefits portions of good American food. The sides are excellent! I also recommend the pork chops and meatloaf. It's like visiting home and sampling mom's cooking! Honestly, I've never had a bad meal. I will say that it can get crowded and noisy at peak times, though they do have a decent-sized patio. read more

I had a quick lunch with my husband at the diner!Our server was quick and attentive! My husband had ordered the Gouda burgers which he described it as "meat, cheese and bacon goodness" diner style burger! I ordered the meatloaf which was fantastic! As sides I had sweet potatoes fries and mashed potatoes which were super tasty! The sauce the sweet potato fries were served with was the perfect accompaniment! The sauce was like ranch and blue cheese has a baby! Loved it! Definitely will be visiting again! read more

My my my!!!!! This hidden gem is behind the Walgreens and can't be seen as much off the road but is in the shopping center right behind. Luckily I found them by yelp!! Service 5 stars greeted when i can in server Dillon friendly with suggestions and even brought a sample for me to try during the middle of lunch hour. Checked on me multiple times. Cleanliness and ambiance 5 stars... front tables bar kitchen and bathroom. I could see the kitchen from the bar. Could almost eat off the floor! Food 5 stars!!!! Took a yeppers suggestion and for side salad as a side and they were right it is a meal in itself but also ordered black pepper thyme fried chicken with Dillons suggestion of Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese creamy white cheeses not sure what but tastes very good but the chicken.. oh my it was a Breast lightly breaded no grease cooked perfectly and not dry! So hard to do....oh and the plate came with cranberry and a yummy corn muffin. Honestly this was the best food and service I have had in a loooonnnnng time.

My husband stopped to get me a piece of cheesecake, for my birthday. When he got home I asked him if he ate half of it in the car. This place is terrible anymore. The desserts used to be nice proportions. Now the prices are much higher and the slices much smaller. Also. The coconut cake was the worst I have ever had. I could not eat it. read more

The only real plus I can give is for the service; our server was excellent. The food, however, left a lot to be desired. I'm much too "Southern" to like blue cheese in my Cole slaw, or jalapeños in my hush puppies (gag). The fried okra was good; other than that I cannot recommend this place. Too expensive to throw away most of the meal. read more
