"It doesn’t get more classic comfort than the Marietta Local. This casual counter-service spot across from the courthouse is a longtime favorite for scratch-made, stick-to-your-ribs favorites like chicken biscuits and homestyle meatloaf, best enjoyed with a side of stone-ground cheese grits. Those who like a little more heat can up the ante with the Nashville Hot Chicken Breakfast or the Blue Devil Salad served with sweet ginger hot sauce. The unpretentious, wood-panelled interior is plenty cozy (and in the process of being expanded), but be sure to grab a coveted sidewalk seat if the weather is agreeable." - Sarah Bisacca
