14 reviews for Marquette Inn Restaurant
Marquette Inn has been around for decades and they do a decent job since they have several locations.
With that said, I came here Thursday for lunch with a group. Everyone ordered and enjoyed the split pea soup. I was pressed for time and, having not eaten pea soup voluntarily for about 20 years, decided to order fries.
I'd like to give more stars because our waitress was friendly and the food was good. However, we waited...and waited. Our order took quite a bit of time on a slow day.
I'd definitely recommend the Marquette as a comfort food option downtown, just be prepared to be there awhile once you place your order. Their pace is a bit slower than other sit-down restaurants in the area.
Oh shit! ---- That is exactly what we smelled from TWO glasses when we went here. I can't tell you what the food was like because 5 of us high tailed it out of here before we could smell/taste anything from the kitchen.
The smell lingered on our hands just from holding the glasses of water. Beware. But the waitress was very nice. And they have blue moon in the bottle.
I was there mid-afternoon, after the lunch crowd. I was treated like a criminal, though I am sure the food is far superior in prison. The high point came when my charming waitress removed her false eye for the guys at the bar..... Honestly, save your money and see if you can dig something out of the garbage can in front.
This place can be deceiving from passing by on the outside,. From the looks of it, you may just miss it if you are casually passing by. There is nothing there that calls attention to it. If you do notice it, You might be led into thinking that this is a tiny little place. Don't let the looks fool you as it is huge inside. This is a no frills kind of place, so if you are looking for flash and flair, then you will be very disappointed.
As far as the food is concerned, it is solid. I had a chopped steak special with grilled onions, mashed potato, and tomato soup. Everything was very good. Lara had a patty melt and split pea soup which I also sampled and they were also very good. It was a solid meal all around, but nothing that made me stand up and exclaim, "Holy Shit that was delicious!"
If you come here during lunch during the week, their goal is to serve you up a good meal quickly and get you the hell out of there and turn your table. They effectively do this without making you feel rushed.
Best breakfast in the Loop (Chicago central business district.)
The Marquette is an old-style diner that offers me the perfect option of being able to stay right in the Loop and start the day with a good breakfast in a relaxing atmosphere. The service is fast enough that I don't have to worry about being late, but not so fast that I can't read the morning paper. Its actually one of the things I look forward to when I travel to Chicago.
Most hotels inside the Loop do not offer a complementary breakfast. This leaves me with the following choices:
1. Room service breakfast - an over-indulgence for a business trip and I don't like being served in my room,
2. The full-price hotel buffet where I might eat 2000 calories to justify the cost (and its still self-service),
3. The protein bar in my briefcase (that I should save for later), or
4. Staying at a hotel outside the Loop where breakfast is included.
(Even though a longer walk is nice when the weather is good, it requires getting out of bed earlier. And the gratis breakfast is still going to be self-service and low-quality food.)
I found the Marquette diner on Adams St. a few years ago and its never let me down for breakfast. (As for lunch or dinner... look at other people's reviews.)
I got salmonella poisoning here, along with two other people I was traveling with. If you eat here, I hope you have health insurance and plenty of sick days. On the upside, the food tasted great.
Reasonably priced food. The ambiance is a little lack luster, but it has that kind of homely feel. I really liked the lentil soup! New chef and new recipe.
This chick loves her diner food, or as you Chicago people call it, "Greek joint food". Catherine D. and I stopped here before going to see "Jersey Boys" at the LaSalle Bank Theater. I judge a diner by how well they do BLT sandwiches. This place sure didn't disappoint and I love how in Chicago, the BLTs are served on Greek toast. The lettuce and tomato on my sandwich tasted fresh. The bacon was good and crisp, and the mayo was not overpowering--just the way I like it. The service here is pretty much the same as any other "Greek joint."
In short, the Marquette is a solid three star value.
Cheap diner with a bar. Conveniently connected to the CPS building, so you can have a meal, exit out the back way and make it to Clark street or out another way.
Breakfast items are cheaper and healthier than Mcdonald's.
Prices overall are decent, not too expensive. meal with a drink is just under $10 bucks.
If you have a lactose problems, I'd suggest not to order anything with cheese. I don't know what it is about the cheese and milk products here, this diner at this location, bothers the hell out of me. I love cheeseburgers and melts, but I can't have them here.
My boss lives for this place. I constantly crave the split pea soup, which is only served on Thursdays.
The interior used to be old, dingy & brown. Not sure if they recently renovated or if the smoking ban made it seem cleaner, but it's gotten better since last summer.
Because they do so much business at lunch, the service is very fast & efficient but not exceptionally friendly. (Although one of my friends was furious when she was informed that she only gets one refill on her soda.)
Other than the fantastic split pea soup, there are really no surprises either way on the menu. You don't walk into a place like this and expect a big, beautiful salad --- you expect (and get) iceberg lettuce that was chopped the day before.
It is what it is.
I've eaten here a couple of times, and it's pretty good. The food is cheap and tasty, plus there's the small bar. This is popular with the judges and others who work at the Dirksen courthouse.
I've eaten both breakfast and dinner here, and both were pretty good. The service is ok. I would eat here again when in the area.
The omelets are of the flat variety, as opposed to fluffy. Plenty of fillings stuffed inside. Stand-up diner. Close to Union Station, which today, was just what I needed. The coffee kept coming, and the food was served fast. The oatmeal is made with milk, so it's rich and hearty. Sliced banana. Kept me going. 3 stars.
It's great to have an inexpensive diner so close to my office. The spinach pie and onion rings are my order standbys. Service is quick, if not overly friendly.
I live on the take-out counter here, considering I'm working next door at least 3-4 days a week. The split pea soup is to die for. Really, the soup just about any day is good, though I have yet to figure out the schedule. I've only actually dined here 2-3 times, and it was your typical diner experience.
