Service was fine Ambience was fine Food was uninspired and bland. I had a simple Caesar with salmon. The salmon was ok- not great. Cooked to the temp that I asked for, but really didn't taste great- ok quality but no flavoring. The Romaine was less leaf than stem and was underwhelming. Even the Parmesan could not make up for the watery sauce without enough peppercorn. Maybe my expectations were too high, but even at a paper napkin place, I expect more for a $20+ salad.

THE SERVERS WILL FILL IN THEIR OWN UNAUTHORIZED CREDIT CARD TIP AMOUNTS!!!! I was a guest at the establishment on April 6, 2024 at the Spruce street location and had Laura as our server. Overall Laura did a good job as our waitress. She answered our questions regarding the menu, took our orders and the food came out fast. The food was great and me and my guests thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. No problems there. The issue that I have is that Laura added in her own tip amount!!! Let me explain. I paid my portion of the total bill by credit card which came to be $52.36. I signed the paper that was left for me to fill in the tip amount and I left her $12. I placed it on the table. I had an elderly guest with me so I left to go get my car so I could come back to pick her up. When my guests came to my car they handed me my receipt thinking that I had left it behind. The receipt was folded so I never opened it to see which one it was, and then we left. Two days later I went into my purse and saw the receipt and decided to open it and noticed that the my guests gave me the receipt that should've been left for Laura. I felt bad and I wanted to make sure she would still get her tip that I had every intention of given her (I was once a server and I know what it feels like to receive tips and not to receive them) so I wanted to make it right. I was going to call the establishment to see how I could give her the tip. Before I would call, I checked my credit card transactions to see if your establishment had already charged my card and I'd noticed, to my surprise, that I've been charged $62.36 which means she automatically added $10 for her tip! I reach out to Marathon Grill and spoke to the manager on duty Dan at 11:00 am on 4/8/24 and he stated that this happens quite often. He also stated that if there was an imprint of what someone left on the other receipts then they will write in what they think they see. I counter that and said, no matter what you think a guest wrote, the guest never authorized it if it's not written. I take full responsibility for my guests taking the wrong receipt off from the table, but that doesn't give Laura any rights to freely write in her own tip. I am pissed, I feel violated and taken advantage of!

Great atmosphere! Best Cobb salad! The service is great! My favorite lunch spot in the city!

Soups and tacos were fabulous! Fries are worth every penny, and the servers are enthusiastic! 10/10 would reccomend.

Wondered in after getting my nails done and sat at the bar. First great service like 5+ stars. Ordered the mahi tacos which were on special... as a native Texan pleasantly surprised. Even the salsa was good. It definitely gives neighborhood spot vibes much more than the location on Chestnut. Highly recommend .

Giving someone a crab sloppily placed in a container with cold fries is disrespectful for the price and basic customer service. I ordered a crab cake sandwich and there wasn’t any bread or any of the toppings that was supposed to be on it. Also, I ordered your expensive Caesar salad and you didn’t give me any dressing. Crap place and wouldn’t recommend at all!

Their crispy chicken & sesame salad is so amazing and so filling! Their blackberry margaritas are good but could be stronger! Their sweet potato fries were good but I prefer them to be more crispy! Overall, great restaurant and great service!

There is only one vegetarian entree option and it's generic pasta. Was like angel hair pasta with some roasted veggies. Definitely a let-down because I liked the place otherwise! Great vibe, relaxed atmosphere but still upscale, great drinks, service etc. There were vegetarian appetizer options though, so if I go back it'll be for drinks and apps.
Went for Sunday brunch. My husband had the breakfast burrito which was good but his potatoes were cold. I ordered pancakes and specifically asked if they had " real" maple syrup. Waiter said yes, so I ordered them. Well, it was not real maple syrup so I said I didn't want them. Any reputable restaurant at least gives you the option ( with an up charge which is ok) for the real stuff. So while my husband ate, I watched him because by the time I ordered something else, he would have been finished or his food would have been colder. Won't be going back there.

I love trying new experiences with my wife in Philadelphia when we have the extra money. Anniversaries, birthdays, or just because. It's always great to find a place that balances excellent food with reasonable prices. My Rainbow Trout was fantastic as was her Salmon. The server did a great job, even though it looked like he was covering all tables in the restaurant. This will definitely be on the revisit list. Thanks to the Marathon team for making my evening memorable.

Lively and always packed, this classic American dinner fare levels up a notch with fresh and plentiful dishes, if not necessarily the most healthy. Solid and reliably satisfying, though wish there were more healthier and vegan options available.

A wonderful neighborhood spot. Always dependable and delicious. Thy have specials that are super, but also are wise enough to know that they should keep the favorites, like matz ball soup!!
