   This is a great go-to in Philly. Large menu to choose from and the food is always prepared to a high quality. Large portions and friendly staff.

   I had the jambalaya and my wife had the arugula salad. Both were delicious. I was disappointed that they don't serve any rolls or bread with the entree. And the waitress brought me a beer but never provided a glass. I would go there again.

   As usual, we had a very nice time at Marathon, entertaining some out-of-town visitors. The great variety of the menu and the excellent value make Marathon a favorite of ours. Friendly, helpful servers are also a great plus.

   We had an early dinner at Marathon with another couple before a show. It was the first time at this restaurant for all of us. The restaurant started out pretty empty because it was early and we were seated right away. We all shared an appetizer, had one drink and each had an entree. We all enjoyed the food and drinks very much. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I would recommend the restaurant to others and I know our friends would also.

   I had a very nice lunch - grilled cheese, turkey, cranberry sauce and tomato basil soup and my friend had the chicken pot pie, each of us with some red wine. Service was friendly and attentive. Only complaint was the heating system could not keep up with the cold (24F) outside. Would definitely come back but maybe on a warmer day ;~)

    I enjoy dining at Marathon Grill. Unfortunately my credit cards were stolen from my handbag while dining. The manager,Debbie Alexander,handled the situation with calm and consideration as I navigated notifying the various card companies.

    Everything was good except for the screaming toddler sitting near us. Parents didn’t seem to care about the disruptive child. We ate and left and enjoyed more wine at another establishment. What a shame

    Eating at Marathon on 18 was the perfect night before Thanksgiving meet up place! We were seated in a half boot table at the back and had the area to ourselves. It was easy to converse and had good views. We ordered calamari was excellent, light and tasty! The shrimp tacos had giant shrimp and a delicious flavor. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Will go back!

    The food is good, but the service is always, as my friend put it “special”. Half her order was missing and we didn’t get a refill on water and had to go inside to ask for the check.

    The food was very good. The service was lacking. We sat inside. Our server also had tables outside and we were all but forgotten. Never came to check if we needed more drinks. By the time they came to see if we wanted dessert it was time for us to leave to get to the next stop on our schedule for the evening.

    Lunch under the tent was very pleasant. Food was delicious. I usually have a salad which I always enjoy. This time I tried the scrambled egg and veg wrap ~ it was delicious! Our server was very quick, prompt, and helpful. She remembered to bring the extra ice cubes we requested. At so many other places, they forget that ice melts in this heat and they don't bring enough ice.

    Food and service were excellent. Servers were very quick, nice, and helpful. Tent was breezy and comfortable. Traffic noise is the only flaw ~ not the fault of the restaurant of course. A very good place for lunch.
