4 reviews for Marathon Grill
I had one of the best sandwhiches here the other day...
Roasted chicken salad on ciabatta with fresh mozzarella and tomato. AMAZING. It was perfectly seasoned and not overly slopped with mayo.
The chocolate chip pancakes alone are what merit the four stars.
We went here for our brunch club meetup. The food was good - not out of this world or anything, but good. The service was average. They did refill my coffee cup plenty of times which is enough for me.
But what capped this off and made it great was when our serbian friend demanded that we all share in his dessert/2nd breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes - that had cookie dough baked into them. Delicious.
All in all, average to good. Chainy. But we didn't wait more than 5 minutes on a Sunday, which was a plus.
I had to place a very last minute catering order (for tomorrow) for an event my office is having. I called up catering, and spoke to the most helpful woman (Kristin) who not only handled my catering needs, but was able to make adjustments when the broker "organizing" the event made some changes. She instantly emailed me a revised invoice and was quite pleasant to deal with!
I've also eaten here for lunch several different times, and even though they tend to be on the busy side, they serve fresh, delicious food with a good attitude!
Update: Today, there were some VERY last minute changes to the ordering, including lunchtime rush additions and such, and this time, everything was handled by Julie in catering, who was just as handy as Kristin had been the day before!! Kudos to both of these ladies for a job well done! And to the delivery guy, who was running back and forth all afternoon taking care of everything!
I... just don't like any of the marathon grills. The food is average sitdown food, but the tables are SO CLOSE together you feel like you're breathing on the other diners and (maybe it's my paranoia... but) everyone can hear your conversation so don't take a date here or talk about anything personal/serious/private.
I called in for take out once (on a Wednesday night- so it couldn't have been that busy), and a really unprofessional waitress answered the phone and kept placing me on hold, then taking part of my order, then placing me on hold again... so I eventually hung up and ordered from somewhere else. I was very skeptical that she would even get my order right.
