30 Best American Restaurants in Smyrna

“I found Zeke's while in town on business. Amazing food and staff! Highly recommend!“

“I took my mom out to Muss & Turner's for brunch today as an early Mother's Day celebration to avoid the fuss tomorrow, and WOW! While I've stopped by for drinks before (iykyk), I had never actually explored the food menu. Talk about a knockout!!

The restaurant sits in a bustling shopping plaza alongside a few other spots, but parking was surprisingly easy considering peak brunch time. Inside, the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming with both indoor and outdoor seating, and it has a very family-friendly vibe without feeling chaotic. Our waitress, Carly, was an absolute delight. She was attentive, warm, and kept everything moving smoothly despite how busy brunch service was.

Now on to the food, because this meal absolutely delivered.

We ordered the S.E.C., the French toast, and the shrimp and grits.

The S.E.C. was an open-faced everything bagel layered with perfectly cooked shaved beef, tender caramelized onions, cheese, a garlic spread, and topped with a fried over easy egg. When I tell you I wrapped that sandwich up QUICKLY!!! The combination of flavors was literally joy in a bite. The jammy yolk coated everything perfectly and brought the whole dish together. Easy 10/10.

The shrimp and grits were also some of the best I've ever had. The flavor they developed with the andouille sausage, peppers, and seasonings paired perfectly with the creamy grits, which helped balance some of the heat. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and that gravy on top... y'all already know I love a good sauce. It coated every topping so each bite felt balanced and packed with flavor. Another easy 10/10.

The French toast was a hit too. It leaned more bread pudding style, which honestly made me nervous because I'm typically not a bread pudding fan, but this completely worked for me. You could really taste the depth from the caramelized sugar on the cook, and honestly, it could've stood on its own. The whipped cream helped cut some of the sweetness and balanced things out nicely. My one note was that a few of the smaller pieces had slightly bitter notes, probably from a longer caramelization, but clearly it didn't bother me too much because I still finished the plate. Solid 8/10.

Muss & Turner's has officially made its mark as a place I'd gladly come back to, especially for brunch. Definitely one of the better brunch experiences I've had in a while.“

“McCray's is our local go to favorite! We're go not only for the food, but for the friendly family atmosphere. Many in our West Village neighborhood hang here multiple times a week. Our favorite menu items are all the salads, the smoked wings, nachos, and burgers. Cheers is an overused example, but with old friends and new friends, consistently good food and personalized service, it really fits. Thanks to the team, from the managers Kelly and Peavey, to our favorite staff Ashley, Tony, Cammi, DeMun, Maria, and the whole crew who makes us feel at home each visit!“

“Got to do something about the chairs. Every time someone moves a chair it's like running nails on a chalkboard. Tonight was our 3rd visit, can't fault anything but the chairs screeching.“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere. Had the fried green tomatoes and the pork tenderloin. Everything was great. Monique was our server, and she was really delightful and attentive!“

“Man I just had the 2 catfish plate with the fries...hitting! At least 20- 30 mins after, it was still hot and good. That real Asian hood fish flavor with the flick of the wrist. Awwready!“

“That new breakfast burger was on point! New menu is great.“

“Great place during the week mornings - minimal people and quick service.
Less one star on food because it came out cold even though there were maybe three tables sat.
Less one star for service because I went alone with my two kids (both under 2yo) and the food was dropped on the table in a very quick, unhelpful manner. (I come from the industry and would have helped the solo mother more.)“

“Some of the best food and absolute sweetest humans you will ever come in contact with! Their attention to detail in the food they prepare and the needs of their customers is amazing! Delicious quesadillas, plantains and oh so scrumptious cakes. Run to this like someone is chasing you!! I’m a fan!“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“This place does NOT miss! I must've eaten here like 100 times now, and EVERY TIME is like the first time all over again. I've ordered bone-in and boneless wings, dope. The cheesesteaks, dope. The burgers, dope. The tenders? DOPE. All the sauces they have are great too. Literally anything they make hits so hard.

Service, oh my god. They are super kind and professional, they show you your food to make sure it all looks good. Sometimes when you get it delivered, they put your sauces and condiments in a special little bag, with a side of season salt.

The atmosphere is exactly what it is. It's not fancy romantic cafe, it's clean and peaceful area. Lovely to have a warm meal when it's cold or rainy outside.

I don't know what else to say. I'd give you some cons, but I'd be lying to you.“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“Great food, the sauce is delicious and I wish it could be sold in the store.“

“Everything was very good. The sweet Thai chili sauce with the deviled eggs worked more than you think it would. And the salad mixture cut through the fried flavor nicely. The pre made topping burgers seemed like a safe bet. And both my husband and I were impressed that even with all the unique things that built the burgers, you never got the “too much gene” issue that other restaurants can struggle with. Which was nice! What we ordered: The Fried Devilled Eggs The Bistro Burger The Heat-something burger (basically the spice heads one) Amber BD beer. Everything was great and our waitress was super nice and social without being invasive.“

“Thank You Sooooo Very Much, J.R. Crickets South Cobb for making my Dear Parents Birthday Celebration Very Special!.!.! The Lemon Pepper & Sanchez Flavored Wings were a Hit with The Bozemans!!! Dr. T L“

“My server Mary was terrific, she made sure everything was to our satisfaction 100% as well as Restaurant Manager Vincent made our dining experience better with his outstanding customer service and kindness. Thank you“

“The service was top notch and the food was good. I love the healthy, low carb options on the sides menu. Also love that healthy options are available on the kids menu. We will be back.“

“Amaazing food! The whole experience from start to finish is great waitress is always so friendly and kind her name EB . The food can’t get better and the prices are fair for the portion size. Always a great spot to get great food.“

“Katie is the best Server you will ever meet. She always has a smile on her face. We are normals. (She takes care of my Grandparents Sid and Debi and I when we come to IHOP.)

Happy Birthday Katie! Hope you have a wonderful a wonderful birthday. With Love Elijah Thompson“

“Love the late night hours, and no one is a more friendly, kind, thoughtful, fun bartender than Joe. He is like your best friend, always glad to see you, knows exactly what you normally order, and crafts a phenomenal drink. I'd follow him anywhere. Pizza is delicious, Jody is excellent as well. Small spot, not a ton n of seating, but worth waiting for a chair.“

“I like it it was very much a fun rtime“

“My favorite place especially this one. Always a pleasant experience when I'm here.“

“Great service, really fun people. We mainly go for the karaoke and atmosphere. Unfortunately tho, the DJ either moves songs down or lets other people do it so you will probably end up leaving before getting to sing your song. Not really fair“

“I Enjoy Coming Here Always Good Food. pleasant Atmosphere.“

“waitress was amazing and friendly. fast service. clean very good food“

“Me encanta 😊 por que amis hijo les gusta y eyos son felices ay comiendo“

“A friend gurl and I went there after noonday prayer to chat about our past Church services. How the presence of GOD moved. We ordered breakfast. The waiter was awesome, patient and professional as was the cook. We enjoyed our time spent there. Oh yes, it was clean with a great atmosphere. 👍“

“I told the staff I didn't want any of the sugary drink items or water on my combo order. All other places adjust the price accordingly. I was told it is included in the price even if you refuse it. I didn't agree,but accepted their terms. This minor issue may be a hassle to the employee to adjust the price. But today people are looking for what's best for them. And saving money is a priority. Even if it's 1-2bucks. Not sure if I'll be back due to this small but important inconvenience.“

“I have been amazed at the quality of the experience and the food the last several times I’ve gone to this restaurant. The food was perfectly prepared and expected proportions along with friendly staff with quick service. Store was clean and freshly refinished. I love seafood for a change from the burger-thing every once in a while. These folks are on top of it!!“

“Hard to contact customer service to gain points for visit. Drive thru said i was already cashed out & could no longer add points to my app. Tried to locate barcode on the bottom of receipt to upload points manually, but receipt does not have a barcode at the bottom & the top one does not work🤷‍♀️. Can anyone help?“
