Make Mother’s Day Brunch, Dinner Reservations Now In East Cobb

EAST COBB, GA — Everything Mom has done over the past year of the coronavirus pandemic should add up to an extra-special 2021 Mother’s Day celebration on Sunday, May 9. To start her the day off right, how about taking Mom to her favorite East Cobb brunch spot?

Many restaurants and eateries are still limiting seating, so making a reservation early is especially important this year. And if you’re still undecided about going to a sit-down restaurant, curbside pickup or delivery is an option in many places.

Some hometown restaurants here in East Cobb that are always good bets to pamper Mom include:

• Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar, 4475 Roswell Road, Marietta, 770-635-7641
• McCray's Tavern East Cobb, 4880 Lower Roswell Road, Marietta, 404-800-3553
• Seed Kitchen & Bar, 1311 Johnson Ferry Road, Marietta, 678-214-6888
• Tin Lizzy's East Cobb, 4475 Roswell Road, Marietta, 770-609-2689

But again, call ahead for reservations; some of your local favorites may be closed on Mother’s Day so the moms who work there can have a day off with their families.
