Best Authentic Restaurants in Kennesaw

We went to Henry's for Valentine's dinner with another couple. We got the boudin balls as an appetizer, I was pleasantly surprised! Very tasty, little spicy with sausage and kind of like a hush puppy outside batter. Really liked it dipped in the remoulade sauce. My husband had the Liam's chicken he said it was Fantastic! Really juicy and flavorful. I got the blackened catfish over spicy cheese grits and it's was so delicious! It was an enjoyable dining experience.

Mason was our server and he was amazing!! Everything was delicious and the wine list is excellent!!

We visited Gianni & Mac’s for dinner for the first time recently and had a top-notch experience. The restaurant is right on the Marietta Square, and the venue is very well appointed with exposed brick, wood rafters, and lots of historic charm. My wife had the Taglierini Casio E Pepe which was served fresh tableside in a cheese wheel which was both super entertaining to watch and incredibly tasty! I had the Oven-Roasted Tuscan Chicken with herbs and potatoes and was pleasantly surprised at how tender, juicy, and flavorful it was. Our server was amazing, going out of her way to orient us to the new restaurant and to their menu. She was also very attentive to our needs during dinner. As we finished our meal, we watched as a table near us was served fresh gelato from a tableside cart and it looked delicious. We had a great experience and will certainly be visiting again soon. Highly recommend.

First time experience. I have to say it was enjoyable. We had a reservation and although they were slammed they still honored that and made efforts to have us seated fairly quick. We were able to order in a timely fashion, no real delays. One thing that truly stuck out was when we received our pitcher of margarita, there was some particles floating inside. Our waitress, Emma, immediately replaced it with a sense of urgency. No attitude or anything. Shoutout to her. Have to say overall we truly enjoyed it. The food was delicious and very fresh! The fish taco was my favorite. The crisp and freshness with the added spice from the pickled jalapeños. *chefs kiss* If you haven't yet, you have to check them out.

We love Mexico Lindo. There is an authenticity with the food, place, staff, music, and overall vibe. The food is excellent and the portions are large. The alcoholic beverages are strong and well made. In a time when most establishments are understaffed, Mexico Lindo typically has a large staff, and even the worse among them works hard. The hosts, bartenders, barbacks, servers, food runners, and those in the kitchen each provide an authentic piece to an overall masterpiece. If you want a more authentic and cultural experience, and enjoy quality food, strong drinks, excellent music, try Mexico Lindo on South Cobb. You'll find working managers in this place, as everybody has a role in the overall success. While each employee brings a distinct personality, each adds to the authenticity of the place. Part of me wants to beat the drum and summon everybody in the Atlanta area to try this establishment, while another part wants to keep it a secret and see nobody I know when visiting this wonderful establishment. The inside is well air-conditioned, and the patios, downstairs and upstairs offer excellent seating options, as do the bars downstairs and upstairs. This is a good place to come on a date, go alone, or a group. Nothing is for everybody, but if you do not love Mexico Lindo, the problem might be you. We love the place!
