Restaurants in Marion

“Absolutely recommend Pirate Pete's for birthday parties! We celebrated my son's birthday here and had so much fun. It was our first time visiting Pirate Pete's, and we were very impressed. The big kids and the adults had just as much fun as the little kids did. Thanks for giving the kids a safe place to gather and play!”

“Very nice dinner with family. Service was excellent and everyone was very pleased with their meal. If you are looking for that special night out in Marion, go the Hideout.”

“What an incredible facility! The Pro Shop is top-notch, and the white sand bunkers are so pristine, you'll want to avoid them altogether. With a learning center, great staff, and an indoor simulator, anyone can improve their game. The greens were stunning and running just over 11 after an am rolling. It's truly an amazing course! Additionally, the restaurant and bar are equally incredible, with wonderful food.”

“We haven't eaten here in awhile and today's meal was wonderful. I had grilled shrimp and coconut shrimp with a baked potato and iced tea. It has been a long time since I enjoyed lunch with my sister. I love you Carla!?Parking: Plenty of close parking. We had a shady spot close to the doors.Kid-friendliness: Kids were there and were treated very well and they had lots of fun.Wheelchair accessibility: Double entry doors make it easy for a wheelchair and aisle wide enough for a wheelchair to get to a table with no problem.”

“We are not a café, friendly staff, clean establishment, we have drinks that are free to the players and beers that range from $2 - $1. We have snacks, chips, crackers, cookies, come in and have some fun.”

“This charming little place was tucked away in the downtown square, and was so much fun. The food was delicious, and the staff was super friendly. We had a 30 minute wait, which was not bad at all for a Sunday at 11. Plus there's plenty to keep you busy by walking around down there. 10 out of 10, would recommend”

“Interesting hipster spot in marion. They have some interesting beverages. Plenty of focus on gluten free/vegan/paleo etc. The chocolate chip cookies were good. I enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere, which is really nice and inviting. They were busy, and it took a good 20 minutes to get three drinks. The Chai was ok. Our group enjoyed the coffee and the olipop. Parking across the street. The staff was good and the facility was clean.Dietary restrictions: GF options”

“I had the very best Italian sausage sandwich I believe I've ever had today. My wife had the Chicago dog and was also very happy, that coming from her since she grew up just north of Chicago is saying something. We go there almost everytime we go to Marion and want fast good food. So in our opinion the only place to get authentic Chicago style sandwiches of all different types. Please go give it a try you will not be disappointed.”

“There’s no going wrong, here!! Every salsa, every protein, every topping and side is just bursting with fresh flavor. Their chicken is so tender, so it’s my personal go-to. The folks who work there are very kind, the portions are extremely generous and I only wish I’d known about them sooner! They’re a staple for us, now.Vegetarian options: Tofu, fajita veggies, fresh veggie and fruit salsas etc.”

“Perfect location, friendly staff, and AMAZING food!! The cupcakes are always beyond beautifully decorated, and every single one that we have eaten thus far has been absolutely delicious.This establishment offers a lunch menu, and their potato soup is one of the best soups that I have ever tasted!”

“MUST GO! I always get a coconut donut and ask them to fill it with buttercream. There donuts and cake (especially Carrot cake) are out of this world delicious!! I highly recommend getting there early as they sell out of donuts fast. The staff is always super nice and the locations are open late (6pm and 7pm) seriously a must go if you want delicious desserts.”

The lamb saag, dal makhani, and mattar paneer were excellent.Vegetarian options: Large selection of vegetarian options with a dedicated section on the menu.Parking: Parking is around back.”

“Great little bar. I didn't have food so I can't rate it. When we walked in someone was giving us the rundown on the place which was kind of cool. They had an amazing selection of liquor. Their beer selection was pretty expensive too. I would recommend it to anyone on the square in Marion.”

“Great find! We were looking for a local place for lunch & boy did we find it!The greatest surprise is their bourbon selection. If your are looking to try some high quality bourbon, you should definitely come here!The beer on tap is cold and the lines are very clean!Oh & the food…The burger was very good. The fries we also quite good (they’re crinkle cut fries lightly salted for my French fry aficionados). The Italian beef was of decent quality beef, but the au jus was not great. Doesn’t matter though, come for the bourbon and the beer!”

“I love this place and I have for 30 years loved fazoli's.,Learn to love him in Las Vegas when I live there and just couldn't believe my luck.When I moved southern illinois that we had one here.Such a much better option than Olive Garden.The bread sticks are endless and hot.The foods delicious and inexpensive compared to Olive Garden”

“This restaurant will always hold a special place in my heart, as it was the restaurant that my mother and I visited every single Sunday after church when I was growing up. I don't know why, but now that she's gone, and has been for years now, it feels nice knowing that the waiter remembers her. If I had to choose one restaurant, and one restaurant only, it will forever be La Fiesta.”

Very courteous, thoughtful and accommodating staff! On a scale of 1-10 I give them a 15! Will define back!”

“Phenomenal wings and overall atmosphere. They have 50 cent wings on Wednesday and honestly blows any major chain wing place out of the water. Great place for a guys night to meet up or even to have a date when they have live music. My new go to spot in the area for wings”

“The food is surpassingly good. I had the pad Thai. It was flavorful with interesting flavor even a little sweet. The appraiser soup was much better than three miso other Thai places serve with well cooked but crunchy vegetables. Clearly not sitting all day on the stove.The place has an industrial feel and a bit noisy. The shopping center is busy so parking may not be best.”

I like mine well done so when I call and order it they always fix it like I like it and they are very kind . They give me water for my spoiled dog if we get there too early. They are angels that cook awesome. And you can get one piece or 100. All will be done and yummy.”

“Absolutely recommend Simply David's. They made me a cake for a large graduation party and it was so gorgeous! David made the whole process so simple and stress-free. We talked about the cake on Facebook and he was so accommodating when I kept changing my mind on the style. They even delivered the cake to the venue so I didn't even have to worry about running out to get it. On top of all that, it was DELICIOUS. My guests and I were fighting for the last few bites. Thanks, David and crew!”

I eat here multiple times a week and nothing but perfection is served to me everytime and with a smile!! Highly recommend!!!!”

“Went with my family for supper tonight, was seated right away food was great. The reason for the 4 star review was the service. I ordered the country fried steak, it came with eggs hash browns and my choice of bread. I told my waitress I wanted biscuits and ask for butter. Then I added a order of biscuits and gravy also. when our food arrived I noticed the waitress had forgotten my biscuits that came with my country fried steak dinner. I was told they gave me biscuits with my gravy, when I asked about my biscuits n butter that came with my meal, I was told they put the biscuits with my gravy and only charged me for a bowl of gravy. When I ask why when I ask for biscuits and butter because it came with my meal (I wanted it for my eggs) I was told again She had giving me 2 biscuits. the waitress then held up 4 fingers and said you want 4 biscuits?? I said I want what came with my meal. Then again she held up 4 fingers and said if you want 4 biscuits I can bring you 4 biscuits at that point I was just fed up with the conversation and asked if I could please get some butter. The butter was cold and was not spreadable lol The entire time we were there we were not offered a refill on our drinks, two of our party of 4 finished half of there meal with no drinks. The food was really good just was really disappointed in the service.”
