Marietta eats better than a suburb has any right to. Around the Square and along the roads that feed it, the city ranges from biscuits, barbecue, meat-and-three plates, and soul food to tacos, Thai curries, sushi, Korean comfort food, Italian kitchens, burger counters, bakeries, and special-occasion dining.
The city also has serious culinary range. Spring, a MICHELIN-starred restaurant on Marietta Square, gives the local dining scene a white-tablecloth credential, but good meals here do not all arrive with tweezers and tasting menus. Some come smoky from the pit, some arrive with rice, noodles, spice, gravy, or a proper crust, and some are handed over in a paper bag, which is often the correct packaging for happiness.
Use this guide to find the next table, counter seat, patio, or takeout order worth chasing. Start with the craving. Bring an appetite. Maybe loosen the belt.

Tasty China
Tasty China is still linked to the Peter Chang legend, and the food shows why people kept chasing his cooking around the Southeast. The Szechuan cooking at Tasty China comes in hot, fragrant, and a little dangerous, in the best possible way. Expect chile heat, numbing peppercorns, garlic, vinegar, and sauces that refuse to sit politely in the background. Tasty China is not the place to order orange chicken or the Chinese takeout standards. The best dishes are layered with flavor that hits hard, then keep going. Bring appetite, curiosity, and be sure to order a cold drink before the food arrives.
