UPDATED REVIEW: Make sure this is in your list of places to fine!! I know, I know we were here a few short months ago. We were delighted to come back.
We loved the “pan seared potato cheese pirogies” last time and naturally ordered them again. Just as excellent, highly recommend them.
We ordered off the “Dinner Special” menu this time. My husband had the “Roasted Chicken Pot Pie”.
The puff pastry on top was light and flakey. The chicken, veg, and sauce were just like homemade!
Me, I went with the “Ricotta Cheese Ravioli with Colossal Crabmeat”. Make sure you indulge in this. Sauce perfect, ravioli perfect, and yes so much crab!! Heading to a show I didn’t get a chance to update photos. Next time 🙂

PREVIOUS REVIEW : Pirogies were excellent! It’s always a gamble to get, trust me, these were perfect.
My husband had the blackened chicken quesadilla. They were a little heavy on the green peppers, but really good. I had the turkey club on sourdough bread. It was massive and delicious. In addition treated myself to the root beer float. I like a little more ice cream with my floats. Just a personal preference.
We are planning to return there are many other things on the menu we would like to try we did give into the desert craving and got the lemon pound cake with vanilla ice cream. Scrumptious

Clean family owned restaurant. I cheated on my diet and had the hamburger including the bun. It was one of the best meals that I ever had. The meat was not greasy. The burger was tender and prepared as requested. It was fabulous. Wade was our server. He was attentive and polite. They offer sweet potato fries and have Malt Vinegar! Try the Mountain Leaf Green Tea with the tropical flavor. Our server suggested this to me. I ordered a box from Amazon. Great meal from start to finish. Very clean. A definite place to eat. Pricing is very reasonable.

Just walking by, you wouldn’t know it, but this is a really great place to eat! Excellent, cheerful and helpful service from our server, Niah. One of the best burgers we’re ever had. And a very good Philly Cheesesteak. Yum!

Fantastic Meal with Thoughtful Service at Marathon Grill

Our recent visit to Marathon Grill was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, everything about the experience was seamless and enjoyable. We had a reservation but arrived a bit early, and the staff kindly seated us right away, a nice start to what turned out to be a standout meal.

Our server, Greg, was exceptional, attentive, courteous, and well-informed. With my gluten sensitivity, dining out can be tricky, but Greg navigated it gracefully. He was knowledgeable about the menu and, when unsure, double-checked with the kitchen to ensure everything was safe for me. His care and professionalism were deeply appreciated.

The food? Excellent across the board. I opted for the special of the day, an ahi tuna salad, and it was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I was impressed by how many gluten-free options were available, which made ordering feel relaxed rather than limiting.

Everyone at the table found something to love. My boys were thrilled with their choices, the Marathon Burger and the cheesesteak, both hearty portions served with crispy fries. My husband also selected a daily special, broiled mahi mahi tacos, and raved about the flavor and texture.

The entire meal was served quickly and arrived at just the right temperature, a testament to the kitchen’s timing and quality. Beyond just being a great restaurant for those with dietary needs, Marathon Grill proved to be a versatile spot for the whole family.

Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a delicious, welcoming, and well-run dining experience. We’ll definitely be returning!

The food was good—I had the chicken Marsala, and it was delicious. We arrived during a busy period and quickly realized the restaurant can get quite crowded. So not ideal for an intimate dinner. Despite this, service was efficient; our waiter was friendly and personable, and the food arrived promptly. There was a disruptive drunk patron, but the staff handled the situation professionally.

We had a really great experience at Marathon! They were accommodating of a large party and the service was excellent. Drinks were great- we loved the blackberry margaritas. For food, would recommend the shrimp risotto and jambalaya.

I got a Marathon Burger cooked medium, and it was perfectly cooked. Juicy and still pink in the middle, and the bacon was crispy in all the right ways.
I got a Cesar salad as my side, which was tasty too.
For a drink I had the latte, which was good.
The booth was comfortable, and being there for an early dinner meant it was quiet and easy to talk until the normal dinner rush started coming in.
I got two meals out of my order, so I was extra happy about that 🙂

Our waiter was taking orders for 12 people without writing anything down… As you can imagine this didn’t go well lol The food was fantastic though!

Perogies were some of the best I’ve had

Steak was on point and cooked properly

Mac and cheese was awesome!

Will definitely return when in the area!

Cool little spot

Everyone was very friendly and made you feel comfortable. Manager made sure we were happy and enjoyed our meal. Very nice guy.

Food was very good. I liked that they gave you a little jelly for the toast and ketchup on the side for potatoes so that you don’t have to ask the server. Pancake was soft but also a little crispy on the edges which I liked a lot.

Would definitely come back.
