I have eaten here since I was a kid. Amazing food, service, and cakes! If you can't decide what you want to eat, simply go here!

• Pros: They have everything!!
• Cons: Having everything seems weird, but trust me--it's great!

This is a great Diner and has been all over the Food Netweork. This place has everything under the sun and everything is decent-good. Great late night spot. Check it out!

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

by cyclequeen at Citysearch

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

by ATLAlphaMan at Citysearch

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

by boysmommy at Citysearch

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

Best New York Style Diner

by itsmyne at Citysearch

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.

gigantic menu!

by lilpeahead at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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

24 Hours a day.... The Best Late Night North of the Perimeter

by davidhgay at Citysearch

We have been in here all hours of the day and night and always enjoy the food. What a varied menu! From Eggs Benedict, Corned Beef Hash and Chocolate Chip Pancakes to Baked Salmon and T-Bone Steaks with Greek Specialties thrown in for "excitement"..... There is just one problem! It is very hard to decide what to have, when. Breakfast or Dinner anytime BUT who of us can make it past the dessert counter.... Cakes, Pies , Cookies, Eclairs, Canolis and every type of baked good that you can imagine! VERY GOOD .... ALL THE TIME!

• Pros: Average quality but PLENTIFUL
• Cons: A little rushed and crowded!

Breakfast around the clock, freshly made desserts, and Greek dishes sprinkled throughout the all-American menu come with good service and good prices at this classic retro diner.
