Martin's Restaurant - Powder Springs Location — Restaurant in Powder Springs

This used to be one of the best restaurants for breakfast on the planet. I was a customer when there were just a few locations in Cobb County. I moved to Paulding County for about 5 years and those locations were fine in terms of food quality (could have been cleaner though). After moving back to the Powder Springs area, the local Martin's is absolutely off of the menu. I've tried a few times and EVERY time it's absolutely disgusting. If the biscuits aren't, they're very close and hard as a rock. The bacon is always burnt and black and turns to crumbles when bitten into. If you get the chicken biscuit, it's obvious the grease hasn't been changed in days, possibly weeks. The gravy is a lumpy and nauseating mess. The "steak" looks like charred roadkill from behind the location's dumpster. The eggs are served in a slightly too high portion to cover the barf factor of the other ingredients. The indoor dining area is straight out of the 1970's (50+ years ago). This location needs to be shut down, rebuilt, and FULLY restaffed. Nobody seems to care in any way about...

Not as good as it used to be. Biscuits are a bit dry. Food seems rushed. -3 stars ——————————— update since 9 months ago: Breakfast has gotten better. Biscuits used to be dry and flaky and food just kind of had a "rushed" placement on each sandwich. Now more buttery and soft. They are still busy which is a good thing meaning people are still coming. The lines still move fast. Only negative for me are the grits. I have yet to get grits that have thickness and consistency they are always runny and watery..literally water each time, at this location. I have attempted at least 4 times with the grits but someone is not cooking them long enough ‍. Different days, different cooks. Ya know how that goes. They should also consider blocking parking. On the side of the drive thru...very inconvenient for people who park there and can't back out because the line is to the street and the lines do extend that far very very often; they still will have to wait in line to exit because it's only one way out parking there. Outside of that, no other opinions, suggestions,...

Im not sure what exactly is going on. It used to be great and i love the guy manager here, i know hes trying. But one morning i was givin the wrong order and then its a guess as to when they are open as the last give times ive been there in the morning, about 5:45am, they wont answer the intercom and then so i pull around thinking maybe theyd see me but no so i called this morning and was given the excuse they just had a big order but they did in fact open at 5:30. So i guess after a big order they wont take anyone elses? Then the quality of chicken they get has went down hill and stayed there. Used to be about 80% good enough to eat the whole chicken biscuit but now, now its 10% that you get a good enough piece to eat the whole biscuit so i guess i will try Kennesaw more when ever i do go because the one in marietta is just as bad about service. I used to love this restaurant and went every morning but now...
