MARIETTA, GA — "Since 1995, the Marietta Diner has offered 24-hour-a-day deliciousness," the restaurant's website boasts. A national food website argues that it provides the best food in Georgia.

LoveFood.Com has named the Marietta Diner outside Atlanta as the best diner in the state.

"Marietta Diner, just northwest of Atlanta, is the type of place people tend to return to time and again (or, if they live out of state, wish they could visit every weekend)," a recent review said. "The huge menu runs the gluttonous gamut from breakfast classics like eggs Benedict to sandwiches, burgers, and Greek dishes (reflecting the owner’s heritage). The desserts, particularly the baklava cheesecake, are irresistible."
