Best Family Restaurants in Marietta

"Besides the fact that this quirky little café looks like a tropical rainforest, complete with parrots, on the outside, it’s its unique arrangement of vegan and vegetarian options that bring the crowds in. R.Thomas was created by chef Richard Thomas and has become an Atlanta mainstay on the veggie scene. It’s easy to see why with its delicious, giant meals including a Sausage Queen Omelette, a Thia Quinoa Bowl, and a Sloppy Veggie Joe."

"Thomas is still bringing a healthy dose of breakfast and brunch paired with strong coffee to hungry Atlantans 24-hours a day."

"You can still get peanut butter chocolate pie or a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, along with veggie dinners and juices."

"There’s not much more one can say about the classic, Atlanta-based breakfast chain. Atlantan’s know where to head for 24/7 smothered, covered, and scattered hash browns, waffles, and coffee with some serious people-watching, especially into the wee hours of the morning."

"For 58 years southerners have been able to count on Waffle House for being open 24-7, keeping the temp low, staffing some pretty fun folks, and serving up breakfast sandwiches, waffles, patty melts, and hash-browns any way you want ‘em (which is a whole lot of ways)."

"An Atlanta pancake and waffle map couldn’t exist without the inclusion of breakfast (and late night) institution Waffle house. Don’t skip the pecan waffle, though there’s really no wrong order at this Atlanta staple."

"Juicy Crab has quickly grown into a go-to restaurant for seafood in metro Atlanta. After its first location in Conyers, Juicy Crab opened its only location inside the perimeter on Camp Creek and it was over. In 2018, more Juicy Crab locations opened locally:"

"In the eastern suburb of Decatur, about 20 minutes from downtown Atlanta, the Waffle House Museum preserves the original location of the 24-hour, breakfast-all-day chain that now boasts more than 2,000 locations from coast to coast. The arrow on the bumblebee-colored signature sign points you to the restored restaurant and memorabilia-packed museum. See the chain’s original menus, place settings, uniforms, and more."

"Waffle Houses are a common sight in the United States and you can visit the original restaurant. At the small Waffle House Museum, you can step back in time and look through past uniforms, dishes from different decades, and a collection of menus. It’s a kitschy little spot, but many people have a special place for the Waffle House chain and might love stopping at this little museum that pays homage."

"Sure, there’s fancier steakhouses in Atlanta like Chop’s Lobster Bar, but this Virginia-Highland stalwart keeps its steaks and martinis low-key and reasonably priced. Highland Tap — aka “steak basement” — is located beneath the street level on North Highland Avenue. The restaurant serves up old school cuts of steak and starchy sides, along with generously poured martinis with a sidecar, while bands like Night Ranger, Fleetwood Mac, and Run DMC play over the sound system."

"In a dimly lit cellar below the bustle of Virginia-Highland, old-hat bartenders have been pouring stiff drinks since 1989. The speakeasy vibe, with red leather banquettes, stone walls, carpet, and dark wood, comes without pretense."

"I love the old school vibe and clubby atmosphere of Highland Tap and it's even better in the years since they went smoke free. Their dining room is…"

"The Antica Posta Restaurant has been serving the Atlanta community with rich Italian food since 1999. The restaurant is owned by the Betti brothers who grew up on the Tuscan Hills near Florence working in their father’s butcher shop and helping their mother in the kitchen. All of their experiences have contributed to the dedication and energy they put into Antica Posta."

"Less costly than a long flight to Italy, a trip to Antica Posta yields a trove of classic Italian fare."

"For classic French cuisine, you’ll not do much better than Bistro Nico. Simple, authentic fare competes with a cocktail list that is guaranteed to test even a nun’s sobriety. The setting is just as spectacular as the menu, with an upscale, sophisticated vibe that’s perfectly in keeping with the French chic of the menu."

"Take your sweetie to enjoy classic French fare at this Buckhead staple. You’ll love the classic red French bistro booths, the open kitchen letting you PEAK into your meal being made, and classic French fare like escargot, perfectly cooked scallops, and profiteroles."

"Parisian art, grand ceilings, and a patio that overlooks Peachtree are just part of what gives this restaurant the appearance of Paris being thrust directly into Georgia."

Adults can choose from adventurous blends like Thai fusion and KoKo coffee, with coffee jelly, caramel pudding and condensed milk."

"SunO builds its icy delights on the many-flavoured SunO ice base, which is a milky sweet frozen blend that is shaved into a fluffy concoction. On top of this, any number of Western and Asian toppings can be added ranging from fresh fruit to sweet mochi balls and red beans. Address: 2570 Pleasant Hill Rd, Ste 101, Duluth, GA."

"Even if you've never eaten at the Southern Sweets Bakery, chances are you've eaten some of their desserts as they supply many of the restaurants in the surrounding area with their delicious sweets. The small bakery is located in close proximity to the Dekalb Farmers Market. The Red Velvet Cake and Apple Pie are two of the most popular desserts."

"Focused on Southern-style goods, as the name implies, this Decatur institution offers a variety of desserts including pound cakes, tarts, full cakes, and vegan/gluten-friendly options."
