Pats Kitchen - Marietta

I ordered the turkey wing with dressing, mac and cheese, and cabbage. Honestly, the mac and cheese was quite bland and not seasoned at all, and the noodles were overcooked. The cabbage was unremarkable, leaving an odd aftertaste of something like pork, but again, it wasn't seasoned. The turkey wings were seasoned just okay, but they were a bit dry and not the best I've had. The dressing and the gravy, which included giblets alongside the turkey meat, were strange. The dressing was fine but had a strong aftertaste of sage or some other seasoning, while the gravy was bland and contained some unidentifiable white chunks, which I think might have been turkey meat, but it tasted off.

I ordered the smothered beef tips while my husband had the baked chicken. First, I want to emphasize how welcoming and friendly the staff were! However, we did wait around 15 minutes for our meals. I chose mac and cheese and yams as my sides, but unfortunately, the mac and cheese was quite disappointing—it was watery and lacked any real cheese flavor, almost as if it were made from a soup base. The beef tips were well-seasoned, but the rice was severely undercooked and crunchy, making it difficult to eat since the beef tips were served on top. My husband also didn’t enjoy his chicken. Perhaps we just visited on an off day.

Ms. Pat is incredibly nice. The food is excellent, just like what you'd find at Grandma's house.

Some of the best food we've had in Marietta. We'll be back soon!

This was our first time eating at Pat's Kitchen. The food and service was great! The atmosphere is very home-like. We'll definitely be back!
