About Johnboy's Home Cooking

Johnboy's Home Cooking has been running an all-you-can-eat country buffet on Canton Road in northeast Marietta since 2001, according to its own site. The format is straightforward Southern: fried chicken, slow-cooked meats, rotating vegetables, cornbread, and a make-your-own salad bar, with cobbler and banana pudding anchoring the dessert end of the line. The Canton Road space sits in a strip-style commercial stretch closer to Kennesaw than to historic Marietta Square, and the room is built around the buffet steam tables rather than table service — guests pay up front, grab a tray, and rotate back to the line as needed. Listings on Explore Georgia and Tripadvisor frame it as a family-style casual spot, and the operation also runs a Cartersville sister location and a catering arm aimed at church functions, reunions, weddings, and corporate events. The kitchen leans on volume and consistency rather than novelty — reviewers across Yelp and Tripadvisor note the fried chicken, cornbread, and cobbler more often than anything else on the line. The seven-day-a-week 11 AM open and the layered Restaurant.com voucher tiers ($15/$25/$50 off) are sized around the same family-of-four math the buffet pricing already targets, which makes Johnboy's a frequent Sunday-after-church or weeknight-after-practice destination on the Cobb County stretch of Canton Road.
