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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

With all the traffic in the parking lot, you'd think tiis place had the best food in the state! Unfortunately, they do not. The menu is huge so the bast way to describe Marietta Diner is that they are the jack of all trades but the master of none. The food is OK, it's edible, but disappoint. 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. Everything is made fresh so bring patience or enjoy the complimentary fresh spanakopita. My favorite is the Beef Stroganoff and matzo ball soup. Was a little sad that my wife got more noodles than I did but hey when it's fresh made pasta you can't really complain. Save room for dessert cakes, cookies and my favorite cannolis. Thank you Uncle Gus and staff for always making it pleasant. read more

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

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

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

Omg I'm so stuffed! ‍ What an amazing meal at Marietta Diner. This is such a gem! I feel like I stepped back in time -- the vibe is awesome. Outside it looks like a traditional flashy diner, then you step inside and the decor is even better. The tunes are on point. The menu is massive; pages and pages packed full of options. I decided on the steak tips Papa George. Tender beef loaded with onions and mushrooms in a flavorful sauce, mashed potatoes, veggies topped with feta and pita. So delicious!! It came with soup or salad-- I went with the matzah ball soup. Very yummy. It was so much food for one person! But everything was homemade and fresh. Which is insane with a menu that size. I couldn't leave without ordering dessert for the road... or 3. Napoleon cake, a cannoli and baklava. They have over 30 desserts to choose from, I truly felt like I narrowed it down the best that I could. Ha! To top it all off, the staff was phenomenal. So friendly and attentive. Thank you Dimitrio for being exceptional. read more

On Saturday afternoon, the place was extremely busy, and we had to wait about an hour for a table. It seems they need to improve their seating arrangements to accommodate customers more efficiently. I noticed a few groups leaving due to this issue. They tell you that two more tables are available and that you will be next, but then four or five families pass by, and you're still waiting for a table to be ready. However, once we were seated, everything changed. The waiter was incredibly attentive, prompt, and quick with our food. The dishes were delicious; I was pleasantly surprised by the quality, and the flavors were spot on. Everyone in our group was very satisfied with their meals. I plan to return, but I just hope we won't have to experience a long wait again. read more

This place is a glorious whirlwind of controlled chaos--the finest kind of culinary poetry, where global flavors collide in the most delightful, unpretentious way. You're greeted warmly by the hostess, and your eyes are immediately drawn to the right: a stunning glass display case overflowing with towering pies and cakes that look almost too beautiful to eat. We opted to sit at the bar for a more casual vibe, and the menus hit us like a delightful shock--page after page of eclectic offerings spanning Italian, French bistro, classic American, Chinese, and beyond. It's food from every corner of the globe, ambitious and inviting all at once. The sweet tea struck the perfect balance of sweetness without veering into cloying territory, while the unsweetened version was crisp and refreshing, an ideal palate cleanser. We started with the Saturday flaming cheese special. The presentation was pure theater--they brought it out tableside and set it ablaze right before our eyes, a dramatic flourish that was genuinely cool and memorable. Unfortunately, the flavor itself was a bit of a dud; the cheese didn't quite deliver the rich, melty satisfaction we'd hoped for, and the menu description left us guessing about the exact variety. The seafood-stuffed mushrooms, however, were no joke. They were generously packed with a bounty of seafood, a subtle hint of Alfredo sauce tying everything together beautifully. Great size, excellent balance--solid starter. Then came the fried calamari, and it was outstanding. A generous portion arrived perfectly golden, with a batter that clung beautifully and stayed crisp. A squeeze of fresh lemon elevated it further. This was hands-down the most tender calamari I've ever had--flawlessly fried, properly seasoned, and so good I'd happily make a special trip just for it if the place were closer. Moving to entrées, the lobster ravioli featured real, generous chunks of actual lobster (no imitation here) in a sauce that complemented it perfectly. It arrived in an elegant, robust bowl that elevated the presentation. The portion was impressively large for the price. My only real disappointment was that the pasta itself was slightly undercooked that day--noticeable enough to take the edge off an otherwise strong dish. It came with a solid Caesar salad (nothing revolutionary, but fresh and well-executed) and a very good seafood bisque loaded with seafood in a creamy, balanced broth. My husband's Chicken Picasso with gnocchi in a rich, creamy "Opa" sauce was a standout--fried chicken with a perfect crust, topped with cheese, and paired with pillowy-tender gnocchi that held its form beautifully against the sauce. The dish is hearty and generous (bring an extra appetite). He chose a massive sweet potato as his side--football-sized, perfectly tender, and finished with a caramel glaze that made it sing. He also loved the seafood bisque, which matched mine in quality. For dessert, we took home a cheesecake layered with chocolate cake and other elements, finished with a chocolate coating and nuts around the edge. The brownie bottom and nut crust were well-made, but the menu didn't mention the nuts--a detail we'd have preferred to know in advance. Minor stumbles aside (under-done ravioli and the underwhelming flaming cheese), this is the kind of ambitious, fun, flavor-packed spot I'd happily return to again and again. The generous portions, global menu variety, and overall energy make it a winner. If you're in the mood for a culinary adventure without pretense, this establishment delivers. read more
