I grew up in Marietta and never knew this place existed until now, but I have to say this place needs a much bigger spot on the map! Not only is the food delicious, but the owners and staff are friendly with a family vibe. I highly recommend coming here if you like some good food and good company! My waitress, Laura, was fantastic as well!

Wonderful home town bar. Nothing fancy. Nice locals and good bar food in a friendly atmosphere. I grew up in Lowell, so maybe I am partial, but I guarantee, if you stop by, you will have a cold drink and have some friendly chatter!

They have an outside area and if you go out there you've got a beautiful look at the river and everything's calm and it's just a great atmosphere. When you walk in the door the people in the bar are the same way. The food is very good and at a reasonable price.

We were there for a private party. Staff was friendly and pizza was good. Inside is small, but clean.

One of my favorite places in town. By far the best pizza around. If you haven't been there or tried the pizza then you are missing out!
