Delicious food, well prepared. Especially the beef brisket. We sat outside and the noise was quite moderate. Excellent service. Great place

Food was solid, but not fantastic. Hostess was so welcoming and nice but once we sat down, the service did not match her enthusiasm. Waiter seemed like he did not want to be there. I could have been ordering from a Mc Donald's employee—nice, courteous, but zero interest in making it a nice meal. Didn't offer dessert menu. Just asked if we were done. I still had 1/2 my drink left, could have stayed for dessert as we told them we were celebrating a birthday. (Hostess wished a happy birthday. ). Hard pass, when we go out again.

This is a neighborhood gem. My mother lives around the corner and it is one of her favorites. A nice variety of menu items and specials, but not overwhelming. The staff is always kind and attentive.

We had a sophisticated and delicious evening out at Marathon 19 & Spruce. The Somalia helped us pick a beautiful bottle French wine and the service could not have been better. I will definitely eat here again and I have recommended it to other friends and colleagues.

Something should be done about the noise level. When the restaurant is half-full, it is deafening.

This place was a random find. Waiter was great, food was great and mimosa was one of the best I’ve had.

I had the blackened chicken press sandwich with broccoli instead of fries, which was great. My wife had the Greek salad and matzoh ball soup, both of which she greatly enjoyed. The service was excellent.

Marathon Grill is my go-to spot when I have guests with unknown culinary tastes because Marathon has a diverse menu of delicious choices. No matter what people order, everyone comments on how they love the fries! The servers are attentive, but also understanding if the table gets to gabbing and takes time to order. The prices are reasonable for this area. We have eaten both inside and outside and gotten great service in both areas.

I came to Marathon for lunch on a Saturday. It was not too crowded, and we did not have to wait to be seated. Their food menu has plenty of great options, I ordered the Blackened Chicken Press sandwich, which was wonderful. I also for the Crown Royal Peach Tea off of their summer drink menu, which was great. It was not too sweet and you could taste the flavors of the tea and peach blending well, the alcohol taste was not overwhelming but I could definitely tell it was there as I drank it. Our server was friendly and attentive, overall this was a great experience!
