Why oh why did the owners ever go to full service? We’ve been regulars since Thumbs Up opened in Marietta. Rashaad and his team were awesome! Great food, arrived fast, and plenty of it! This was our go-to after church (along with another family and anybody we invited to go with us).

We ate there today and the process makes very little sense. Now we sit down, wait for a server, then order our drinks and wait (used to get them ourselves), then order and wait...

Visiting from NJ and found good reviews for this place and it did not disappoint. First our server brought such a positive energy which made the visit great before even the food came out. The grits are so good! All the food and coffee was delicious and great portion sizes and prices.

for breakfast or brunch plenty of portions are available and the food is so good I always take some home can’t finish my meals.(lol)
