"Beware of booby traps! Marietta’s accessible, family-friendly favorite pays homage to both Home Alone and Home Alone 2 this year, with the return of the doorknob heater and new features like Marv the burglar’s famous electrocution, tributes to New York City’s Plaza Hotel, and plenty of pigeons (and birdseed, too). And of course, the pinball machine gallery is a year-round opportunity to show off some retro gaming tricks." - Su-Jit Lin, Eater Staff

"The movie “Chef” is the inspiration behind the Hollywood grilled cheese sandwich at Marietta Melt Yard. A duo of melty yellow and white cheddar cheeses mingle with sharp parmesan and gruyere sandwiched between toasted sourdough bread." - Eater Staff

"When you want a classic state fair treat without the state fair experience, Marietta Melt Yard has got your back. The lively restaurant serves burgers and tacos, but the fried Oreos, served crispy and golden brown with a side of vanilla ice cream, end the meal on a (very) sweet high note. The burgers here are also over-the-top and bring a bit of drama on their own, and there are plenty of other totally extra desserts to try at Marietta Melt Yard, beyond the fried Oreos." - Lia Picard

The appetizers are always served fast, fresh and hot. I've never tried the same meal twice (because there is such a good variety) but the fish tacos, burgers, chicken sandwich, tots and sweet potato fries with marshmallow dip have all been delicious! I highly recommend the chicken dip and fried pickle appetizers! We have also tried their featured drinks and they've all been yummy. The drink photo is a Shot Through The Heart!

Well first let me say the place was very busy and we went on a Sunday about late afternoon and we had a hour and a half wait which we waited because the family wanted to try it due to the home alone themed atmosphere. We got to hang around in there and play pinball while we waited, so that was cool. I'm guessing the place changes their themes due to pictures I've seen, so if you're expecting home alone, I'd definitely go during the Christmas set-up. Overall, the place was alright, I did think the food was a bit overpriced and not a whole lot of options, but I do know if you like fries, they were definitely really good.

I've been wanting to go and happened to be in the area so I stopped in to check it out. I didn't eat there, just had a quick walk around so I can't speak to the food or service quality. The decor was great and the place is large. While the staff was friendly and there was a cool bar and arcade, the place was FULL of kids, like, children under 10 kids. Makes sense to me why they close early now, they're more of a family friendly place than a nostalgia bar for millennial+. I thought it would be more catered to adults due to the pop up themes (as home alone and Ghostbusters are more Gen-X era than Gen alpha). I might swing by again for the food late night on a weekday in the off season to avoid the kids to try the food, but even a weekday during the holidays was so crowded there was a wait to be seated.

A great bar and burger place with really fun themes! Started going here when they first did the home alone theme. It's a great place with great atmosphere. Also has a good arcade and pinball games selection!

The "Truck Burger" and sweet potato fries with marshmallow sauce are awesome! Also got a side of the "Elote street corn" and it was great with the burger. The "Epic Shake" was a Christmas theme with gingerbread flavoring in the vanilla shake. It was a favorite amongst my wife and two kids. I will definitely get it again next time.

Hidden gem! We went a few times during the Home Alone pop-up during the holiday season. We really loved all the food, all interactions with any worker, & the atmosphere/vibes. We also hab an enjoyable time in the pin ball arcade room. Our 2 negatives would be: 1. Never take tots off the menu, especially not for tomato soup (lol) 2. The fried oreos could be better

Great atmosphere and great variety of pinball new and vintage. Great for bros night, family, company events and more. They had a Halloween theme with Ghost Busters stuff everywhere, but not the famous Ghost Busters pinball machine lol. Good times!

Recommend coming here as a family or a date night. We came during Christmas time and it was a bit crowded, but we were able to grab two seats behind the bar. I had a salad and my boyfriend had a burger - both were delicious. The drinks were also great! Thanks to Makayla and Ellie for taking great care of us!
