Incredible!
Marietta Local was like eating at grandma’s kitchen. From perfect scrambled eggs to creamy, hearty cheese grits, to their signature fried chicken breast and crispy, fluffy, and gigantic biscuits, my entire meal was delicious. Oh, and they even have warmed Vermont maple syrup!
Pictured is the North Georgia apple salad that I took for lunch. So good!

First time here. Awesome chef created breakfast. I got the eggs Benedict. Biscuit was good southern homemade. Fried chicken was so juicy and Hollandaise sauce was so good and creamy. Very good creamy Looking forward to coming back and trying more. Great service and nice view of the Marietta square center.

We really enjoyed the entire time spent here along with the food and service. Only thing I could even say that needs improvement is the small space . People were clamouring to find a seat and sit down.
The food is DELICIOUS and the best french toast I ever did eat!

I can’t say enough good things about this establishment. The atmosphere is awesome. The patio seating is fantastic during the seasonal weather. The staff is accommodating and kind and gives you plenty of background on who they are and who they have become and why. I had a hard time making a choice on what to eat on the menu. I decided on the Nashville hot! Amazing! Whatever your choice you can’t go wrong.

this place is absolutely the cutest! the food is SO good. i had the nashville hot chicken wrap and it’s more on the spicier side which i loved. my FAVORITE item though was the cinnamon roll it was perfection and i wanted to buy so many more!! staff is super kind and sweet. another fav is the french toast!

Service was very fast. The ladies are very nice: there’s a reason they have been in business for 13 years! Wonderful environment! Family is everything!

This will be one of my top three breakfast places to go. My first time here, excellent customer service, nice homely atmosphere, and the food was awesome! I had the potato skillet with chicken sausage, French toast and real hot chocolate (the cream on the hot chocolate was so thick the chocolate won’t even come through the whipped cream until it melted some) This would be one of the best places you can visit. Reasonably priced and I will gladly drive from Decatur to Marietta for The Marietta Local.

Best Southern fried chicken on the planet!!!!
Nashville chicken wrap was a diversion from my favorite Blue Devil Salad which is also amazing!

UPDATE (20250828):
Having returned to The Marietta Local after a couple of months, it was pleasure to have mended fences, so to speak, and ironically over a new and different matter.
I took the blame for not being clear with placing my order this day. I had received a delicious fried chicken cutlet with specifying just “chicken” as an option with the Sunrise on the Square plate; I thought I would receive chicken sausages.
Graciously, the owner (and her granddaughter) received my apology and even though I accepted the cutlet, they gave me the chicken sausages out of courteousness. I valued both their grace and patience. However, the chicken wasn’t the focus. It was the biscuit and coffee. Each had returned to what they should be this morning, and saving the biscuit for last, it was delectable over preparing some writing. Definitely worth the extra bucks fifty.
Thank you Marietta Local for the amazing breakfast. (I know you’re good people. )
UPDATE (20250624):
I stopped by The Local this morning with time to catch it opening, continue reading Saturn’s Children, and write a letter.
Ordering my usual, I found an improvement or a shift back towards normalcy with their coffee and biscuit. The coffee had more of a Whole Foods quality and I gave benefit of doubt and appreciated the “homemade” touch to the biscuit—even though it is still not the “southern” biscuit usually served.
I am refraining from describing their actual biscuit, because I know within the Experience, part of it is to mess with one’s reality or perception. Instead, I have provided a picture of the “homemade” biscuit for comparison to the biscuit served me three days ago. It’ll show an inconsistency between the two, and I may continue to do so until The Marietta Local serves up their true “southern” biscuits. I mean, as the business is no doubt rooted in the Christian faith, it’ll have to decide to either be true or false with its values and its customers.
On the upside, it was nice to discover that The Local serves frozen push popsicles. A nice treat for hot days.

One might wonder about the overall three rating when the food, service, and atmosphere are rated with fours.
Well, I like the Marietta Local. I really do. It is a small business that is successful, has good patronage, and while a bit pricey, the food is fresh, home cooked, and on point. Save the Coke products in its vending machine; but alternatively, they offer fresh brewed coffee and organic teas.
So, why the three rating?
It represents a good thing, and in light of the community behavior observed and experienced for the last thirteen years, in which I have seen good people and things corrupted and ruined.
Of my five, six visits to The Marietta Local, four or five have been good experiences with it. In fact, once I sensed a setup and avoided going there out of respect for myself and the establishment.
Moreover, having taken pictures that day—of just the restaurant—in hopes of doing a more positive review, those pictures disappeared on me.
In visiting there today, I took more pictures amid a busy and relative noisy atmosphere. Even when every table is occupied, patrons are typically calm in their conversations.
Suffice it to say, having taken my usual to go this time, I find myself not drinking coffee or eating a biscuit made by the Marietta Local, but rather coffee possibly from McDonald’s (or Racetrack or QT), and a biscuit from Hardee’s or Arby’s or some fastfood restaurant. Hardly worth the eight dollars plus tip, like usual.
I shall hope on my next visit, the coffee and biscuit are as they should be. I have provided pictures of what their biscuits should not be.

Delicious fried chicken. Hubby had Nashville hot and I had it with my apples/pecan/goat cheese salad with delicious homemade salad dressing. Staff was so so nice. Easy going place to grab a delicious lunch with a lovely outdoor and indoor seating cafe style.
