17 Best American Restaurants in Marathon

“It felt like sitting on an exclusive deck of a spectacular cruise ship. There are both comfy seating areas, very classy wood and cushioned chairs and couches, with umbrellas... as well as table and chairs for more practical dining.We went there for breakfast as part of our stay at Grassy Flats resort. The food is excellent, just like Rhum House, same cooks, same chefs. It can get very overwhelmed with people in the morning, which is why I didn't give it a 5 for service. It isn't like they didn't try, but while we were there, they got a rush for breakfast and it took a while. The days we were able to order breakfast from the Rhum House, due to higher winds the service was excellent! The pictures come from our breakfast at Rhum House, but the menu is the same.The two most spectacular dishes for breakfast were a fruit tray that was so gorgeous to behold, and the yogurt bowl that was sprinkled with chocolate and honey. Avocado toast was excellent, so I heard (I'm gluten sensitive so I didn't get to try it). Coffee was good, and endless. Mai Tais were also available that day, as our favorite bartender was on duty and it wasn't too busy. It was well worth the deviation from our normal breakfast.On the day we had breakfast on the Palm Deck, it was too busy to ask for a Mai Tai, and the bartender on duty didn't know how to make them the same way. Food was a little slow, but they were slammed with one server on. The food quality was excellent.

Vegetarian options: The fruit salad is to die for, as is the avocado toast see pictures. I believe there were also cereals (I can't eat them so I don't' know).

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten sensitive and there were many options for me. Vegan and vegetarian needs can also be met.

Kid-friendliness: We had our 2 year old nephew and he had a great time. They provided a smaller bowl of yogurt on request. We were able to walk the deck while waiting for our food. There is a lot to distract a little one with the views and the trees and birds nearby. They had high chairs easily accessible too.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access from parking lot (though gravel) to huge elevator, to front door.“

“I would 100% recommend you go and git a cold beer, a burger and the famous french-fries.“

The food is so good that it actually had my friend not talking. It was silent at all the tables. The food is oh my gosh good. And Sasha is amazing too.“

“AMAZING!!!! Had dinner as a last minute decision, and we were completely impressed with Barracuda Grill. We all had the special, lobster scallop and shrimp linguini. Salads were great, entrees were top notch, and the staff were really friendly. Highly recommended.“

“Best key lime pie by far! Smooth texture, authentic taste and very generous portion. Tuna ahi nachos are delicious and must try, it’s a meal in itself!“

“We had a wonderful meal, great service they were very busy but fit us in at an outside table. They made a special mac n cheese for my son. Really appreciated how they went out of their way and all the food was fantastic!“

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Plaza Grill, and it was nothing short of phenomenal! We stumbled upon this hidden gem while attending a show at the theater next door, and I’m so glad we did.

The baked brie was an absolute standout, and the calamari paired with their incredible red sauce immediately set the tone for a fantastic meal. Once we tasted that sauce, we knew we were in for a treat!
🍽️
The service was impeccable, making our experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was inviting, and I loved the charm of the place from the outside.
🍽️
Being Italian and from New York, I have high standards for Chicken Parmesan, and The Plaza Grill did not disappoint. The chicken was perfectly crispy, with just the right amount of sauce, and they generously served pasta on the side, which was equally amazing and enough for two to share.
🍽️
We will definitely be back! If you're looking for a delightful dining experience, I highly recommend The Plaza Grill.
The only downside is that we were so enjoying the company, ambience and food. I forgot to take pictures.📸“

“Blue Waters Grill is an amazing place to hang out. I come here once a month. Yadi, Yeni and Roberto are the best! They make you feel like family as soon as you come to the bar. They are the reason I come back once a month and stay here. Of you are coming to Marathon, you have to stop by Blue Waters Grill.“

“Hottest place in town… Literally“

“We had a table for four outside and it was amazing! Quite and perfect setting for to end our vacation on a high note! Jose was our waiter he was very attentive and friendly. Our appetizer was the artichoke and spinach dip which was great with tortilla chips and pita chips. Plenty to share for a table of four. We had the stuffed hogfish, crab cakes, pasta and shrimp Alfredo. We all loved our dinner and great portion size. We ended on a great dessert. We loved the key lime pie and it had a little twist with it but we loved it! The cocktails were also delicious and picture perfect. We ended the night with a photo op on the beach it was a perfect night to our week long vacation! Thanks Jose!!!!“

“Our server was very funny and entertaining. The food was great, especially the salsa sauce on the yellowtail special. We did have to ask several times to have our water refilled. The meal was somewhat pricey, but the ambience and overall value was good.“

“We love Driftwood Pizza! We have had it delivered a few times now. Rachele has been the person delivering she is fast and goes above and beyond to make sure the customer is happy. Also she is always earlier than estimated. She truly cares about her job and it shows in her service!“
