Let me start by saying all the good things you heard about Mary Mac's Tea Room are true. This place is incredible. We were greeted right away and had the best server ever. Tried the chicken livers which weren't my favorite but that's not their fault. I'm sure if you like liver, it would be great. The collards and corn bread were delicious. My shrimp and grits were fresh and tasted perfect. So many good things to try here and the location just drips with history. Highly recommend!

We came with a large group from church right when they opened and they got us seated quickly. The server was nice and knowledgeable. The food came out quickly and hot and tasted oh so good. Their desserts are non shareable because they are that good and the atmosphere was great. I will definitely be back again!!

When you step through their doors you’re stepping back in time. So much history comes across in every room. We were immediately greeted by our waitress who explained their unique way of ordering. I couldn’t begin to explain but pay attention, we were gazing at all the historic pictures and really didn’t get it at first. There was a large party having a birthday that kept us entertained with their fancy hats and singing waiter. We had to have the chicken and fried green tomatoes. If I’m being honest the chicken was okay but the sides were amazing. It’s a total must stop when you’re in Atlanta and I’m definitely going back next time we’re in town.

Saw this restaurant while watching an episode of Atlanta Eats. I really liked the atmosphere of this establishment. First let me say there's plenty of parking behind the restaurant. When you arrive it doesn't look big from the outside but it bigger than you think inside. There's plenty of rooms for seating and each room has its own individual name. The food was delicious and the service was great. When you get seated you'll notice pencils in the middle of the table alone with paper with different sections. You fill out each section per course to avoid errors. I like that concept, the food came out fast, hot and delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, good vibes also a place to bring family and friends.

This was an awesome dining experience! First you have to appreciate the deep historic legacy this place has. The food was delicious, a blend of southern soul and high dining in terms of service and presentation. The place wasn't too crowded, but as we were leaving, there were crowds flowing in. Just mentioning this to be prepared if you decide to come during a busy time.

Great food and atmosphere. We had the fried porkchops and chicken fried chicken with macaroni and cheese and fried green tomatoes! Cornbread dressing with gravy was very good as well! Being from the south, I have to say they nailed it! Great restaurant for southern cuisine.

An absolute must go. This location is a well-preserved piece of history that feels like a warm hug. The food epitomizes southern comfort and the selection is vast. Each room has a unique feel to it and each time you visit, you will learn something new. My party and I went all in and ordered appetizers, mains, and dessert. The peach cobbler was to die for! The servings are bountiful and each time I go, there are plenty leftovers to bring home. Despite being an historical southern food location, there are a number of vegetarian options on the menu. Don’t leave without trying the mac n’ cheese!

Mary Mac's is an absolute MUST visit if you are in Atlanta. This is the epitome of Southern comfort foods with a history lesson included.
I have never had such a difficult time choosing what to eat from a menu. There are so many delicious things to choose from. I ended up choosing the fried snapper with Mac n cheese and sweet potato souffle...and it was seriously amazing. My friends also enjoyed their food as well, which included the salmon, and the roasted turkey.
The service here was fantastic as well, and our waitress provided us with a cliffnotes version of the history on tea rooms. Not only that, but the entire restaurant is filled with photos, news clippings, etc that recount the rich history. The atmosphere here almost takes you back into time because the building itself has been so well preserved.
I wish I could give a ten out of five stars. Thank you Mary Macs for a fantastic dining experience.

Very nice restaurant. Came here on a Friday around 6 pm and very few people where here so we got seated right away. The server was very friendly. I liked the complimentary pot likker and history lesson! The peach cobbler was the best part.

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.

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.
The parking lot was full but there is a lot of street parking.

I have been dying to try this place for the longest time and I am glad I did. The food was fantastic and the ambience amazing. You need to go here if you ever are in Atlanta.

I had been wanting to try this place and finally had the chance. There was a short wait to be seated. We were given menus and paper to fill out what we would like. I love this idea because it makes it very clear so if something is wrong, it is your own fault! The portions were large and the food was very flavorful. The waitress was very friendly. I would definitely come back and try some of the other things on the menu.

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.

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.
P.S. Although reservations are not allowed and people were nearly out the door waiting, the wait was not long at all, and we were seated quickly. The only minor negative takeaway was although we literally wrote out our orders (which apparently is customary) we didn't get everything we asked for and there seemed to be some confusion as to who ordered what. That didn't stop us from enjoying our meals though.

I had the opportunity to come eat here last week while on vacation and I am super happy that I did. This was one of the best recommendations I received while being in Atlanta. My server "BowTie" was great and was always one step ahead. I can't wait to come back next time in Atlanta.
