A friend of mine suggested this place and it did not disappoint. Everything about the place was cool. It’s history the building, the food and the service. We all were hungry and the portions were a good size. I definitely over ordered but we wanted to try lots of food. The bread basket had corn bread, yeast rolls, that were good, but the star was the cinnamon rolls. Not like cinnabon, gooey mess, but like a delicious cinnamon toast not too sweet but delicious especially with butter. I ordered the pot roast which was good but I think next time I will get the chicken fried chicken. The cobbler was tasty but I was pretty full by then. But one of the best parts of the meal was our server. Unfortunately I forgot her name. But her southern hospitality was amazing and she helped navigate the menu.

Cute place. We ordered fried green tomatoes, Mac n cheese, collard greens, meatloaf, chicken and dumplings, chicken fried chicken, peach cobbler, bread pudding and key lime pie. The sides were all good, our main dishes were excellent but the dessert…not so much. The peach cobbler a la mode wasn’t bad but the key lime pie and bread pudding were horrible! We all 3 took one bite of the key lime pie and bread pudding and threw the rest away. The bread pudding had an overpowering clove taste and the key lime pie was overwhelmingly sweet with just the tiniest hint of tart in the aftertaste. Not only were the desserts a disappointment but the corn bread was also the worst I’ve ever had. If you go to Mary Macs I would stick with the yeast rolls (which were great) and avoid the desserts. We throughly enjoyed our main dishes, they were so very good; it’s a shame the dessert quality did not even come close to matching.

We had a great time at Mary Mac’s! I got the fried pork chop and it reminded me so much of the ones my grandmother made growing up. It was a touch cold but we had a bunch of different dishes and the AC was blowing so I totally understand. The collards were a bit bland for me but I know not everyone likes them super vinegary. The sweet potato soufflé was very tasty and had a lot of cinnamon. Loved the cornbread too! We came on Saturday at noon and only had to wait a few minutes.

First time at Mary mac’s and first time eating southern food. We enjoyed the experience, the fried chicken was crunchy and tasty, we could tell the difference between traditional fried chicken restaurants. The sides were also very good, and the complimentary bread they gave us for being first timers was warm and delicious. I’m glad I tasted the southern food in Mary Mac’s. Prices were just right; unfortunately, we ordered one San pellegrino sparkling water that literally took them 30min to arrive to our table, we asked many times and they told us it was on the bar and it had to arrive soon, but it didn’t! It arrived many time after the plates arrived. My friend had to drink from her water bottle that she had before (which is not allowed based on the many signs stating that all over the restaurant) because it’s really heavy food you cannot eat without something to drink.

AKil fm MIA to ATL
My sister and I dined here about a week ago and was so impressed with the food, service and warm ambiance that we returned just three days later. I’ve been in Atlanta for five years and this is the best place for soul food that I’ve come across so far. The shrimp and grits are my favorite (for now). We’ll be back.

Love the food there, especially cinnamon rolls and tomato pie. Also sweet potato soufflé, broccoli soufflé, pulled pork were fantastic.

One of the best southern restaurants I’ve ever been to. Good food, friendly staff, and simple menu. Our server, Winta, was so accommodating and explained the menu well. Definitely recommend coming here!

The place was delicious. They were very good at catering to dietaries and I was so hungry and the food was so yummy. I like the paper menus where you write out your food and then the caterer comes around and confirms it all. She was so good. Great for a larger group too (12 of us).

The restaurant was pretty good. The food could definitely use more seasoning, but I liked the chicken and dumplings. The okra was good, and I liked the cornbread and rolls. The fried green tomatoes weren’t very good and neither were the green beans. The bartender was really nice.

The Tea Room is rather historic to Atlanta. I’m not a big fan of traditional Southern food, but if that’s your thing this is your place. The fried pickles and fried okra were great! I also got a basic side salad which was fairly large. Our server was wonderful. The building is quite large and can accommodate large groups.
