   Many people warned me about the service before I came but I was not prepared for the detestable experience my party and I experienced. It took 20 minutes to get a glass of water and almost 45 minutes to receive a cocktail. Upon our waitress taking our orders we were immediately notified that they were out of many food options; so our choice were slightly limited. I hoped that the food would make up for the horrendous service; it did not! The hot honey salmon was flavorless, the brown sugar wings were terrible and had no flavor whatsoever. Our drinka also tasted watered down. I will give an honorable mention for the cornbread which was great and although the brisket tasted more like pot roast is was tasty nonetheless. The tab at the end of the night was what you would expect for a typical dinner in Atlanta so I have no complaints there. The ambience was nice but I can’t eat vibes and ultimately left unsatisfied and disappointed. Overall, this place needs to REALLY work on its service and seasoning their dishes better

   I was disappointed with the service and food this time. Seemed like the kitchen was off and our server was not attentive. Gratuity is automatic and it’s unfortunate that still have to pay someone for not bad service. We had to ask other servers for things because our server was hard to find. Definitely going to cancel my Thanksgiving plans here.

   Dear JaVania, We sincerely apologize for your recent experience. We understand your frustration with both the service and food quality, and we regret not meeting your expectations. On Sundays, we operate as a pooled house so that multiple servers may attend to the same table for more efficient service. However, this should not have led to you feeling abandoned, and we truly understand how disappointing that can be. While gratuity is automatic during our weekend buffet services, we believe all our guests should expect and receive great service. Your feedback is vital as we work to improve. We hope you'll reconsider your Thanksgiving plans with us and would love the chance to make it right. Warmly, The Marcus Bar & Grille Team

   Great environment. Vibes were on point for a birthday celebration. The ambiance was perfect, and the music wasn't so loud that it triggered me. I was able to enjoy every dish 10/10. The waiter was very kind, energetic, and knowledgeable of the establishment, and the drinks were pretty good. The location wasn't hard to locate. I liked that MBG offered outdoor seating as well. My only recommendation is to keep the serving dishes full at all times. I wasn't able to enjoy what I truly wanted the first go-round because 4-5 serving dishes were empty. I had to wait and come back. I'd also recommend signs that state whether the foods include pork or what's a vegetarian dish. I would have enjoyed having a waiter explain the order of dishes (example: breakfast items are mostly at the beginning of the line and dinner is at the end. That way, I could have planned what I'd eat). I will most definitely be back with friends and family! Thank you for the hospitality. - Kita

   We enjoyed our visit. Sunday brunch with our kids. The food and atmosphere was great. It was lively which we did not mind. Pricey IMO for a buffet but an overall great experience.

   The brunch buffet was well worth it. So many classic brunch and southern options. The ambiance was even better. I'll definitely return back for dinner soon.

    This was our second time at Marcus B G but the first dinner experience. From the beginning it took more than 15 minutes to receive 2 non alcoholic beverages. After another extended 30 + minute wait our entrees arrived. The collard greens were cold, my wife’s lamb chops were rare instead of the requested medium well temperature. My Mac n cheese came out roughly 10 minutes after the entrees arrived due to “it still being in the oven” but the Mac was cold and had unmelted shredded cheese at the top of the dish. I requested for the dish to be put back in the oven and they responded gracefully by bringing a fresh side of Mac to which I discovered also was not heated/cooked all the way through. Overall a poor dinner experience that was very surprising considering how great their brunch is.
