    Ordered lamb chops, the. Was told there wasn’t anymore… got the brisket with potatoes. My potatoes weren’t cooked all the way. I informed a manager. They removed 6$, I stopped eating them once I realized they weren’t cooked all the way, how ever upon leaving I had stomach ache all night. I try to support black owned businesses but they completely missed this one.

    Food and service were great! My “Ole Unc” drink was perfection. My salmon cooked perfectly and the fried crab rice was a pleasant new experience. The ambience was great. I felt like I was at a family gathering. No complaints at all. I can’t wait to go back with friends!

    All the meats that hit the table were delicious. Brisket was stellar with au jus. Fried chicken wings were simple without sauce and reminded me of some of my own mother’s best fried foods. They were delicious cold the next morning. Skate ribs weren’t falling off the bone but were perfectly tender clinging to the bone with a zingy rub. Pretty loud. Server forgot to place or order and then came back a while later and asked about it and said he was just making sure he got it right (shoulda just said it wasn’t placed).

    Although the hostess greeted us warmly and seated us promptly, it was disappointing that our server took quite a while to acknowledge us, especially considering the restaurant was not busy, and several servers appeared unoccupied. That said, once our server arrived, she was extremely professional, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal, which we genuinely appreciated. Unfortunately, the buffet fell short of expectations. Food replenishment was slow, several dishes lacked proper handles or wouldn’t close properly, and the area was not well-maintained. The salad, fruit, and dessert were all combined into one station and were, unfortunately, quite disappointing. Overall, the quality didn’t justify the price. To her credit, our server asked for feedback, and I shared these concerns. She was very understanding and explained that the Executive Chef was not in that day, and that things typically run more smoothly when they are present. While the buffet was a letdown, the staff’s professionalism and hospitality were a bright spot. I don’t plan to return for the buffet, but I’m open to giving the regular dinner service a try in hopes of a better experience.

    Our family enjoyed Easter brunch at Marcus B&G. We were seated on time and the buffet food, although a little expensive, was very good and extensive. Some of the food items ran out quickly after being served but eventually were replaced. I thought the music was energetic but very loud. It was difficult to have a conversation at our table and we were not next to the DJ. Overall we did enjoy ourselves and will return.
    Marcus Bar & GrilleResponded 4 days ago
    Hi Kevin, Thank you for choosing Marcus Bar & Grille for your Easter brunch—we’re so glad your family joined us for the celebration! It’s great to hear you enjoyed the buffet and overall experience, though we’re sorry the music volume made it tough to chat comfortably. We appreciate the note and will take it into account for future events. We’re looking forward to welcoming you back for another round of good food and (hopefully more conversation-friendly) vibes. Warmly, The Marcus Bar & Grille Team

    Sunday brunch is definitely a must do at Marcus B&G! The DJ was excellent, a little loud, but a still vibe. I have to come back when it’s not a holiday. Too many crying babies. Food excellent, lots of choices, and always hot!
    Marcus Bar & GrilleResponded 6 days ago
    Hi Kiy! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your brunch experience with us! Thanks for highlighting the awesome DJ vibes – nothing kicks off a fun weekend like great tunes. We'd love to have you back again soon for more delicious eats and that lively ambiance. Best regards, The Marcus Bar & Grille Atlanta Restaurant Team

    The food and service were fantastic. Our server (Chanel) was excellent. The dishes she recommended were delicious and she was very attentive. Chanel made our first trip fun and memorable.
