Patios and outdoor dining in East Cobb: Avenue and Johnson Ferry

Last checked Oct. 6, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Outdoor dining in East Cobb centers on two shopping centers on Johnson Ferry Road and Roswell Road: Merchants Walk, home to Seed Kitchen & Bar and Marlow’s Tavern, and Avenue East Cobb, with Peach State Pizza and Round Trip Brewing around its plaza. More patios are on Sandy Plains and Shallowford roads and near Powers Ferry Road.

How we made this list. East Cobb is not a city, so it has no city limits. We used OpenStreetMap records in the four ZIP codes this site covers (30062, 30066, 30067 and 30068), the same data behind our local directory, and left out addresses inside the Marietta, Roswell and Sandy Springs city limits and the Canton Road and Town Center areas on the west side of 30066. A place is on this list only if its own website, as we read it on Oct. 6, 2026, says it has a patio or outdoor seating; a review or a photo on a listing site does not count. Round Trip Brewing came from Avenue East Cobb’s directory. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Have a patio we missed? Write to us with a link to your own page that says so.
