Great Service. Stimulating ambience. Food was characteristic diner fare.

The seafood soup was good as expected, but the Greek salad was dominated by raw onion. Tthe dressing was a little different than the usual oil and vinegar. I was disappointed in my search for an authentic Napoleon (pastry). This was filled with the whipped crisco stuff I find on supermarket cakes which I usually scrape off. Although the diner was packed on Friday the service was super.
I'll continue my search for an authentic pastry shop in Atlanta.
- Pros: colorful, stimulating ambience,extensive menu,great service.
- Cons: food was mundane.
Mediocre Diner

After months of passing by this restaurant, my girlfriend and I finally decided to stop in and try it out. It was recommended to my girlfriend and me that night by a salesman at a local store. We were impressed by the lively atmosphere and the nice decor of the restaurant. The staff was very friendly. We were seated as soon as we walk in. We notice it was very busy but they seemed to have had a lot of staff. As a matter of fact, I noticed at various times some of them seemed to be just standing around socializing. At least they were a tad bit over staffed this evening. The waiter brought out some bread. The bread was good. My girlfriend ordered a grilled chicken gyro which came with fries and a side salad. The serving sizes were very impressive. I ordered stuffed pasta shells and it came with a soup, salad and bread. I ordered a cream of mushroom and a Greek salad. To our surprise, the food was very bland. Almost no flavor at all. I ate mine only because I had no breakfast and a small lunch, so I was hungry. I did not enjoy the food. The best part of my meal was the soup. My girlfriend's gyro was very bland too as she broke a piece of it and had me try it. We were very disappointed and we will not go back. We have eaten at other area diners including Buckhead, Sandy Springs and Duluth. All of those were clearly above this one. Maybe we had high expectations based on the other three, but all we know is that this one had very bland food.
- Pros: Ambience, Service
- Cons: Food
Really liked this place, alot

We would recommend this place to anyone. We were in Marietta for a baseball tournament. One morning we went to the Diner to eat breakfast. The staff was very nice and made sure they did everything they could to make our visit enjoyable. The food was tasty, good size portions and very reasonable. We left there full and happy. We liked it so much, we went back the next day for a late lunch/early dinner. Once again the food was outstanding and very reasonable. It was great that the younger ones could get breakfast food (which is what they were wanting) while the rest of us got lunch/dinner type food. I only wish we would have saved room for dessert. The desserts all looked so good, it would have been hard to choose which one to order. I wish we had a place like this where we live. If we're ever in Georgia again, we'll make sure we eat here... YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
- Pros: Good Food, Friendly Service, Reasonable Prices, Nice Decor
- Cons: We don't live in Georgia so we could eat here often

There is so much I can say about this place. Everything from the chicken entrees to the desserts are great! If you are going on Sundays or Saturdays it can get a little crowded so get there early. The best part is the Strawberry Cheesecake!!!! If you thought you had a good cheesecake somewhere else, you were highly mistaken. A must taste!!!!

This is my favorite breakfast eatery. I usually go there after church. I enjoy the Marietta Diner Special. There is usually a wait, the place is very popular and is always packed. The only thing I do not like is the temperature of the restaurant, it's always freezing in there.

This place has a very large menu, from sandwiches to pasta and seafood entrees. While nothing is exceptional, the food is good and you won't leave hungry. They also serve breakfast any time, and portions are huge. There are display cases with beautiful desserts and it is very hard to pick which one to try. I'm usually too full and end up getting dessert to go.
Best New York Style Diner

I lived in New York before moving here. I have been trying to find a dining experience to compare to what I missed. I found it here. The food portions are truly reminisent of that from NYC diners. The food was very good. I have taken friends visiting me here to share in this experience as well. Wonder place for a harty meal.
- Pros: Four Thumbs up. Smile :)
- Cons: Parking could be a little better.

ok, we saw this place on diners drive ins and dives on food network (yes i am a dork). we had no idea it was even around. but thank god we don't live closer or i wouldnt be able to fit into any of my jeans. the menu is HUGE and its open 24 hours. my bf had the veal saltimboca (good), i had the greek sampler (yummy) and our friend had a slice of chocolate mousse cake the size of her head. you've got to go just to see the dessert case. we got a slice of coconut cream pie in the fridge that i cant even think about eating right now. great place to take out of towners. plus, service was fast and friendly. you've gotta go.
- Pros: menu is pages long, serves breakfast all the time
- Cons: hard to make a choice
Great late night Dinning
by SweetGA1

Marietta diner is excellent for late night dinning. Althought I am not crazy about their desserts and regular menu items. I think it's a little bland. Now breakfest is ok I figure you can't mess breakfest up to much. If you mess up breakfest you are in the wrong profession and you can't cook. BUT... The Greek salad with london broil is the best salad I have ever had which is why I order from them in the first place. Because of this factor it's great for me to visit on lunch or late night
- Pros: Late night, wealth of choice
- Cons: Needs more seasoning
