Rooted in Family, Smoked With Passion
Meet Chef Jeff
For Chef Jeff, cooking isn't just a career-it's a family legacy. Crooked Tree Cafe was born from the belief that high-quality, chef-driven food should be accessible, comforting, and authentic. We wanted to create a space where the Marietta community could slow down, pull up a chair, and enjoy Southern staples made entirely from scratch. From tending the smoker in the early hours of the morning to hand-crafting our fresh sausage daily, Jeff ensures every plate served is a testament to his dedication to flavor.
Grandpa's Secret Recipe
The heart of our kitchen lives in a mason jar. Our famous jellies and jams aren't sourced from a distributor-they are
small-batch preserves inspired by the very recipes Chef Jeff made with his grandfather. It's a nostalgic taste of home that serves as the perfect companion to our smoked meats and buttery biscuits.
Got Pancakes?
We take our food seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. Our whimsical cafe culture—typified by our iconic "Got Pancakes?" staff tees—is all about providing a friendly, high-energy environment. We're proud to be Marietta's go-to spot for good vibes and the fluffiest specialty pancakes in town.
