What a wonderful experience with chef Rodney. He is a personal, kind, and genuine restaurant owner with a pleasant smile as he talks to his customers.Also check out the town of Marietta after dinner or lunch at The Taste.

Found this out of the way place on our way back north from TX - so glad we did! Got the fried catfish and okra - very good! Plus they had a unique spin on banana foster that was fantastic!If you're looking for some fancy, fine dining - this isn't the spot. But if you want some great home style cooking in a family atmosphere, definitely check this place out! Get off the highway, it's worth it!!

We stopped here as we were driving on I-35. We were trying to find something to eat that was not Fast Food. Their Brisket burger was delicious... so delicious. They were worth getting off the Interstate. The owner was also serving. She was so gracious and welcoming.

This place is amazing, from the service to the food. If you are going through Marietta, it is a must to try this wonderful restaurant. Also make sure you try any of the desserts! I would give more stars if I could.

Small town family restaurant with an experienced chef that knows his business and is helped by other family members. They take pride in quality service and just good food.

When traveling near Ardmore to visit family, I always try to make it to the "taste". I have never been disappointed. The food is great. Everyone including the chef greets you with a smile and a welcome .

Had an awesome experience and enjoyed our visit. Chef Rodney was very hospitable as well as Mrs. Chef and the rest of the staff.Excellent food and awesome dessert menu. Have some menu items that stay the same and some others that change. Open for dinner only on Fridays, closed on Saturdays, but open till 2:00 on Sundays. Lunch through the week.Highly recommended. Very upscale decor in a small town atmosphere. Thanks Chef!

Drove from Tahlequah, OK (220 miles) to meet our son & daughter-in-law from Waco, TX (182 miles) for lunch, party of four. ? The delish bean soup sample resulted in bean soup for everyone! Chicken Alfredo Lasagna, Grilled Cheese sandwiches, and Chicken Salad Croissant were all sooo very good! But, dessert... DESSERT... was the cherry on top, specifically the strawberry on top! Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cheesecake was the table favorite! Pecan Coconut Cheesecake was another favorite, Italian Cream Cake was my favorite! If we are ever this way, THIS is where we eat, period. And, meeting Chef Rodney was a bonus! He welcomed us, talked to us about the food and dessert and wished us a safe drive home. If you are not nearby, this is worth the drive!!

First time there-- everything was great, but thought the meat loaf was a bit too dry. Needed something to moisten it up a little. We use a recipe at home that adds diced zucchini to the mixture. It adds a nice, moist taste and flavor, and always gets rave reviews from our family and friends .Otherwise, we loved the experience and will definitely come back and try them again!
