“This was our first time back to Henry's since Covid. We didn't have the best experience then. But this time was excellent! Our server Belle was amazing. She had the best energy and was super attentive. She suggested the blue crab and corn dip as the appetizer. It was so good! We also had gator bites and my husband had a cup of gumbo. Out entrees were delicious and then we had the best dessert sampler!! Bread pudding, gotta have it chocolate cake and fruit cobbler. All three were so good. Best restaurant experience in a long time! We'll be back very soon!“

“We placed an order at work, and they left out a single portion of grape salad. We called and asked if someone could bring it to us, since we were so close. Not only did they bring it, he brought a large container for us to enjoy and personally apologized for the error. Mistakes happen. We're human. It's how you react that makes all the difference. Thank you for being so kind!“

“These are literally the best pot pies I have ever had. New to the area, I ended up in Marietta; stumbling upon Paul’s Pot Pies. I bought a few, gave one to my husband and he immediately lost his mind. It was love at first bite. I’m really not supposed to be eating them, but I do sneak one in every now and then. Shepherd’s pie is my favorite, the next is seafood chowder. If you are looking for hand held comfort food or you want share with others; this is the best way to say “hey I like you, I want your belly to feel like mine” this is the way to do it. I don’t know when I’ll sneak to Paul’s again; but I know I will at some point. Everyone doesn’t have to sneak, so for those that don’t, RUN and get yourself one!!! The staff is always kind and pleasant, I’ve been to both locations. I’ve been happy with both.“

“Please don't never change!! Ross's is a true blast from the past that has maintained its heritage. A small spot with all counter seating and old-timey feel. Surrounded by revitalized businesses, it's a cool area but hope they never get squeezed out. Lovingly run by family, it feels like you're a member too! Very reasonable prices for delicious classic foods. We had the egg sandwich, sloppy Joe's with fries. Simple but tasty all. AND there was free cake on valentines day! That was excellent too! Thanks gals! I almost went for the fried bologna sandwich -haven't had one since I was a kid. Next time. We're passing through, but definitely would return.“

“Loved this place! Just walked in one day randomly for dinner, the cellar has the best cozy rustic pub vibes. Sat at the bar and had a delicious cocktail, and were able to order food. I will say the lunch menu is so good and the dinner menu is excellent too. I always have a conflict in choosing between them because they're both so good! Our server was the manager I think and was so helpful to us even as her shift was ending, she guided us on recommendations and chatted with us. That really just made our visit even better.The food: Delicious, very fancy, but so flavorful. The Lamb Ragu was my favorite and some of the tenderest, most well seasoned dishes. The pasta was wonderful. We had a brie sort of appetizer that was delicious too but both were wine-forward. Can't wait to visit again!“

“1885 is one of those places with the perfect mix of food, price and services that you won’t forget.1885 is located off the beaten path in Acworth, literally hidden by the railroad tracks and a pedestrian bridge, just off Main Street.The atmosphere is perfect for a business lunch/dinner, or an any get together with family and friends.The oversized bar area has more than enough seating, and is surrounded by multiple TV’s to watch whatever sport you’re into.With an enormous wrap-around and climate controlled patio, you can choose inside or out, just about any time of year.I can’t recommend this one highly enough.“
