Mary Mac's Tea Room

I've changed my diet quite a bit soooo this wasn't really my cup of tea(pun intended).lol,all in all I enjoyed spending time with my cousin and her entertaining friends!!! Hats off to Cali for being such a Gr8 and gracious host👏🏾 !!! Your service was phenomenal, again 👏🏾!!! Until next time!
P. S. I was a lil disappointed with the fried okra, which is my favorite side. 😞. Too hard and old.

Atmosphere and food was Great and Delicious 👍Kayla was our Hostess and did an Outstanding Job*****..Our First Visit from Birmingham, Alabama.. Thanks 👍

First visit was ok
Second I was seated for an hour and no one came to assist me
Everyone around me received service and I was overlooked
I even informed several employees and the place wasn’t busy
A huge disappointment and I drove many miles just to come visit

One of the best southern restaurants I’ve ever eaten at!! Our server Kam was also one of the sweetest people ever, and the service was amazing. My party ordered the southern special, and at just $28 per person, we chose our 3 entrees as the fried chicken, roast turkey, chicken and dumplings, our 3 sides as the mac and cheese, fried okra, and mashed potatoes, and our 3 desserts as the banana pudding, peach cobbler, and the blueberry cobbler. So much food for your buck and all of it was so delicious!!! Again shoutout to Kam for being so awesome- will definitely have to be back soon!!!!

Food and service was great.

Just wanted to say thank you! My 78 yr old mother-in-law recently had surgery at Piedmont. She really wanting to eat some Chicken and Dumplings and pressed me until I got them. She is from a small area outside of Atlanta, and really wanted some good food. I ordered her the dumplings, turnips, and cabbage. She wanted me to tell you that your food made her day! The young ladies at the front were awesome when I walked in to order the food. Great all around experience!

The food was great but the waitress had too many tables assigned to her that night...the manager never came to our table but she made sure she went to all the white people tables...that was a huge turn off... normally when we go there and needed a manager to come by, they come quickly...but that manager never came...she even went to the table next to us but never came to hear our concerns 💯😡💯

Great food. Best fried chicken I've ever had.

I’m writing this review after a disappointing experience on Monday, June 30th, around 8:33 PM. I’ve been a loyal customer of Mary Mac’s for a long time and live just one block away. I regularly place orders around 8:30 PM and have never had an issue picking up my food before they close at 9:00 PM.

Tonight, I called to place an order and spoke with April, who was very pleasant. However, I could hear someone in the background telling her that they don’t take orders past 8:30. I’m not sure if this is a new policy, but it was frustrating because I’ve ordered at this exact time—sometimes even a few minutes later—many times before without any issue.

I have my bank statements and credit card receipts to back this up, showing consistent order times around 8:30 PM. This is typically when I eat dinner, and Mary Mac’s has always accommodated that—until tonight.

It felt like whoever made that decision just didn’t want to take the order and may have been ready to leave early. If this is indeed a new policy, I understand—but regular customers like me should be made aware. If not, then I’m very disappointed that my order was turned away for no valid reason.

I truly love Mary Mac’s and have supported it consistently. I just hope this is addressed moving forward so that other loyal patrons don’t have a similar experience.

I’m still hungry.

My visit to Mary Mac's was a decent experience overall. The turkey and dressing stood out as the highlight well seasoned and comforting. However, the yams and macaroni and cheese lacked flavor, and the pot liquor didn't meet expectations. The cornbread was missing sweetness, and the hush puppies were fried too hard for my liking. A recipe refresh might help bring these dishes up to the level of their reputation.

The restaurant itself could also benefit from some upgrades to the surrounding area. On a positive note, the service was very welcoming, and the wait time was pleasantly short. I appreciate the hospitality and would be open to giving Mary Mac's another try the next time I’m in Atlanta.

I decided to check out Mary Mac’s Tea Room after a fellow traveler at the airport couldn’t stop raving about it. Her enthusiasm convinced me I had to see what the hype was all about—and I’m so glad I did. The smothered chicken over rice, mac and cheese, collard greens, fried green tomatoes, chicken fried chicken, and pot likker were absolutely delicious.

The Mary Mac’s Mojito was refreshing, and the desserts were out of this world. The banana pudding, in particular, was so smooth it practically disappeared in my mouth.

Our server, Rickie, made the experience even better. She shared fantastic menu suggestions and gave us a bit of history about the restaurant, which has been around for over 80 years.

Walking into the dining area felt like stepping into my grandma’s home back in North Carolina—warm, welcoming, and full of charm. If you’re ever in Atlanta and craving authentic Southern comfort food, Mary Mac’s is a must-visit.

A must stop for some good home cooking. Stop in and ask for Miss Rickie The Top Server in my book. Very professional, knows her stuff about the history of this Fantastic restaurant.

Not bad but overpriced for what we got. I’m not from the south so maybe I just don’t understand it or maybe this is just how they traditionally do it at Mary Mac’s, but the chicken fried chicken didn’t seem very seasoned or flavorful. It was decent (at best) with the black pepper gravy sauce that comes with it, but overall underwhelming in my opinion.

The service was friendly and fun, we got sweet-talked into a fried shrimp appetizer and that was the best thing we ate. Cinnamon rolls were bland; they seemed reheated and a little old.
P.s. made all of us a little bit sick

If I had the chance to rewind time, I’d go to Willie Rae’s in Marietta instead. Their southern food is flavorful and really hits the spot. Plus they have trivia on Monday nights which are a blast.

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is very Sunday Dinner at Big Ma's. I love the different themed rooms!

Hosted a private event here and everything was great. Marion was our server and she was very attentive in making sure our needs were met.
