    Had a great time at Marcus Bar & Grille. Service was excellent and food was so good. We had the cornbread to start, and for my entree I had the lamb chops with a side of broccolini. My friends enjoyed their dishes too - the seafood Piccadilly, rib eye, and macaroni all excellent. Can’t wait to try it again!

    Party of 6, ordered shareables , Cornbread was tasty, one was dryer then the other, Deviled eggs heavy mustard, Wagyu burgers dry, asked for mayo “informed they don’t have any”. The base of the garlic aioli is a mayo base. Salmon was dry and overcooked, ask for another piece. Fried chicken was moist waffle was good. Fish and grits was good. Drinks were great. The music was great, attention to detail in surroundings superb, attention to food service needs attention. Our table was directly in front of the line.

    Our group of 6 (women ages 42-78 years old) really enjoyed our first experience here. We were seated quickly, which included accommodations for a wheel chair. The food was fresh and delicious. Everything was seasoned perfectly. We were happy the music wasn’t loud… we could hear it, but could hear each other clearly with a normal speaking tone. We will return!!
    Marcus Bar & GrilleResponded 3 days ago
    Dear Shanell, We’re thrilled your group had such a wonderful time with us, from the quick and thoughtful seating accommodations to the perfectly seasoned dishes. We’re especially glad the music set the right vibe without interrupting your conversation—it’s all about creating a great balance! Thank you for your lovely feedback. We hope to see you again soon. Wishing you a happy holiday season. Best, The The Marcus Bar & Grille Restaurant Team

    I've dinned at this restaurant many times in an attempt to give it a fair chance as it changed chefs and managers over the past year. I will say first and foremost, I've always had great attentive service. I've dinned solo and with groups and the service has always been the highlight of my dining experience. That said, I've struggled with the quality of the food over the past year. It's never consistent and ALWAYS too salty. I don't understand the need to over salt food in any restaurant but particularly this restaurant given it's a Soul Food restaurant and unfortunately Soul Food already has a poor reputation for being too salty, too greasy, and too sweet. In the case of Marcus Bar & Grille, the food is consistently too salty and that's a shame. As someone who has dinned at several Marcus Samuelsson restaurants, my favourite being Red Rooster in Harlem, I'm simply disappointed with Marcus Bar and Grille. Atlanta deserves better.

    We had a party of eight we seated quickly and the service was amazing and the food was unbelievable. I would definitely return. I would love to come when it’s not a buffet, but the food was still Chef’s kiss.

    Everything was ok but our seating was TERRIBLE right in front of the buffet line and the people crowded around the table while we eat and had to keep moving the chair..
    Marcus Bar & GrilleResponded 7 days ago
    Hi Lillie, We sincerely apologize for the seating arrangement during your visit and understand how uncomfortable it must have been to have people crowding around your table. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Thank you for being our guest, and we hope you’ll give us another chance to redeem your faith in our restaurant. Sincerely, The Marcus Bar & Grille Team
