Marietta Restaurant Guide

Lemon Butter Seafood opened in 2020 on Terrell Mill Road in East Cobb, billing itself as Marietta's home for grilled oysters and Southern-style seafood. The kitchen leans hard into Cajun cooking — the owners cite travels through Louisiana, Belize, and central Mexico as inspiration, with New Orleans setting the dominant tone. Their namesake lemon butter sauces, built on garlic, citrus, and Cajun seasoning, anchor most of the menu. The shop-front sits in a Terrell Mill strip near the I-75 / Powers Ferry corridor. Inside it functions as both a seafood restaurant and a late-night lounge: there's a full bar with bottle service, hookah, two patios, and live entertainment, with the kitchen running until 2am most nights and 3am on weekends. Weekend brunch on Saturday and Sunday is part of the regular rhythm. The menu spans grilled oysters, crab legs, Cajun pasta, stuffed shrimp, whole fried red snapper, salmon, and crispy chicken wings. The weekday late hours and lounge format mean it pulls a mixed crowd — a seafood dinner spot earlier, a hookah-and-bottle-service venue later. The price tier is mid-to-upper for the area, and the deal stack ($15 off $30+, $25 off $50+, $50 off $100+) scales cleanly across solo plates, couples, and group bottle-service tabs.
