50 Best American Restaurants near Marietta

1 The Railroad House Inn

4.7 Superb 284 Reviews

280 West Front Street, Marietta

• Take-Out

“Our son's wedding reception was held here, and it was our first time visiting. I was being a bit nosy about the basement when a gentleman who worked there noticed and kindly asked if we’d like to take a peek. Thank you again — that small gesture showed how much you care about your visitors’ experience. During the reception, a family with three young kids started to get a little bored. That same gentleman came out with a basket of brand-new Matchbox cars and gave each child one. Wow! What a thoughtful and above-and-beyond thing to do. You truly helped make their day — and ours — even brighter. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality!”

2 Marietta Tavern On Market

4.4 Superb 216 Reviews

324 West Market Street, Marietta

• Take-Out

“Be careful if going here. It looks like they are having real issues with trouble makers, which can happen with any tavern along the river. About 10 days ago they confronted a person outside who refused to pay. That guy pulled a gun on the employee and threatened to shoot them in the head. Look online, you'll see the news story. We went there with another couple anyway for supper aware of the situation that possibly the management wasn't able to keep the trouble out of the place. Within minutes Courtney had our drinks at the table and placed our food orders ... and then some white trash at the bar left out a super loud screech or whistle looking for attention. It was bad. Then he did it again a few minutes later and left. One more time and I'd have gotten involved. The owner needs to hire some beefy enforcement right now to keep a handle on this or the place is going to get a reputation like the Bainbridge Inn as a good place to raise hell and start a fight. NOT date night atmosphere.”

3 Shank's Tavern

• Take-Out

“Been to Shanks quite a few times. We moved about 25 min away a little over a year ago and this place doesn’t disappoint. Every time we order drinks and food it’s been solidly consistent. This past Sunday we went for drinks and food at happy hour. 6 dollar Bloodys and 4 dollar pickle shots is a steal and of course I had 2 Bloodys. My wife and I went with the special for food. Bacon egg and cheese on potato bun with a sriracha maple glaze. The star of the show though is always Andi. She’s an amazing bartender. Whenever we go there ( we have to sit at the bar ) and she’s there. We are in for a good time. Keep doing what your doing and we will keep coming back”

“We were at McCleary’s today when a storm came through and knocked out the power. The staff was great! They were friendly, flexible, helpful, and all-around great. They joked and filled water and checked on everyone. It’s easy to offer great service/food under normal circumstances, but these folks knocked it out of the park under really bad conditions. Bravo. This is why I love McCleary’s.”

• Take-Out

“We visited Bullies Saturday evening, 4/9. For starters I had the mussels. Absolutely delicious. I'd go back just for them. My wife had bacon wrapped scallops. They were really good, also. For entrees I had the Kona tenderloin steak. It was perfectly cooked and fork tender. My only issue, it came out barely luke warm. Same for my French fries. I'd call them cold. The roasted brussel sprouts, which I was really anticipating, were tasty, but all but burned and only luke warm. Though I should have said something to the server, I didn't. My bad. My wife's meal, beef tenderloin tips, were perfectly cooked, hot and fork tender, with mushroom and onion gravy. They were on a bed of rice. Dessert was creme brulee and NY cheesecake. Both were very good. I was disappointed with the cheesecake slice, being about half the size of what I consider a normal sized slice. All in all, a tasty meal. I'd return, but in the future insist on a HOT meal, not luke warm.”

• Take-Out

“About a year ago, I went to John Wright Restaurant for Sunday brunch with a group of friends. I didn’t know what to expect, but the moment I arrived, I was struck by the beautiful waterfront scenery and the stunning, rustic building. Inside, that old-world charm blends perfectly with an upscale dining vibe, giving the place a truly special and unique energy. The brunch was absolutely delicious—so many options, including my personal favorite, eggs Benedict. Fast forward to last night: I stopped in for happy hour with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar. It was surprisingly comfortable and not overcrowded at all. The two bartenders were fantastic—warm, funny, and attentive. And the cocktails… OH MY GOSH. Just try them. You’ll thank me later! We ordered the calamari and crab risotto small plates, and they were so good that we immediately ordered a second round of the exact same thing. From a relaxed Sunday brunch, to after-work apps and cocktails, to a special dinner out—John Wright Restaurant gets a solid 10/10 from me. 🍽️”

“Beanie’s delivers exactly what a local bar & grill should: bold portions and punchy flavor. The Volcano Burger was a full send. Juicy patty, onion rings stacked high, jalapeños, salsa and ranch. A punch full of flavor. The Southwest Chipotle wings had that smoky heat balance dialed in. Not just spice for shock value — actual flavor layered in. The patty melt leaned classic comfort with a side of fries. Nothing over the top. It was perfect, and seasoned beautifully. The mild wings over fries (Monday deal win) proved you can still get a solid meal for just $10. The nachos? Exactly what you want. Cheese, jalapeños, taco meat onions, salsa and sour cream. Atmosphere-wise, it feels local in the best way — relaxed on one side, bar going on the other. Perfect mix for introverts and extroverts. This is the kind of spot that builds community through food and friends. Sincerely , Full Effect Eats ❤️🍽️”

Not pushy but timed, she managed the timing for the whole meal. Was so pleasant, never missed a beat. Glasses were always full and Trista even remembered my daughter’s Birthday Treat. We had a mixture of food stuffs, like having the shrimp appetizer for my entree, Burgers, Rivs and of course, steak! There was no rush to get us out of the table ( we would not do that as a simple courtesy to others waiting) but the time there was nice, not a lot of “noise” and did I mention Trista?”

“I came with a group of 15 for high tea & we all left full & happy. Just happened to be Mardi Gras today, so it was definitely New Orleans style food. Both the service & food were wonderful especially considering it was all done by high school students. An instructor circulated around the dining room & spoke with us for awhile. He said he didn't have much to do because the students were working pretty much on their own at this point. We are planning to come back in the fall for a different type of menu. We all live 30-45 minutes away, but if I lived closer I would be a regular customer at their bakery.”

“I stop here at least once a week. Their beverages are wonderful...sandwiches aren't bad either. Their soups on the other hand leave a lot to be desired. I had the veggie last week...it was so peppery that I couldn't eat it...I had the Italian Wedding soup this week...that was just a downright disgrace! The broth was so salty and I have never had or made Italian wedding soup with sausage meatballs...there wasn't any chicken to be found and carrots, spinach and orzo were nonexistent. The broth was so dark at first I thought they made a mistake. Lesson learned...next time I want Italian Wedding soup I will make my own.”
