Host and waiter were extremely accommodating and friendly as we were 15 minutes early for our reservation for lunch. Food was excellent and not terribly expensive. Never felt rushed. Will definitely be back.

I love marathon for its stable and predictably good food. It is a great place to meet a friend for lunch. It is a bit noisy at times and can be hard to hear a conversation. I would also recommend making a reservation at anytime as walk ins have to wait.

We were seated outside but got cold after placing our order. Even though it was a busy dinner hour they accommodated us and moved us inside. The manager at this location is really awesome. So accommodating every time we are there. Are the salad s and other dishes are delicious too. Marathon at 19th and Spruce is the perfect neighborhood spot.

There is only one vegetarian entree option and it's generic pasta. Was like angel hair pasta with some roasted veggies. Definitely a let-down because I liked the place otherwise! Great vibe, relaxed atmosphere but still upscale, great drinks, service etc. There were vegetarian appetizer options though, so if I go back it'll be for drinks and apps.

Went for Sunday brunch. My husband had the breakfast burrito which was good but his potatoes were cold. I ordered pancakes and specifically asked if they had " real" maple syrup. Waiter said yes, so I ordered them. Well, it was not real maple syrup so I said I didn't want them. Any reputable restaurant at least gives you the option ( with an up charge which is ok) for the real stuff. So while my husband ate, I watched him because by the time I ordered something else, he would have been finished or his food would have been colder. Won't be going back there.

I love trying new experiences with my wife in Philadelphia when we have the extra money. Anniversaries, birthdays, or just because. It's always great to find a place that balances excellent food with reasonable prices. My Rainbow Trout was fantastic as was her Salmon. The server did a great job, even though it looked like he was covering all tables in the restaurant. This will definitely be on the revisit list. Thanks to the Marathon team for making my evening memorable.

A wonderful neighborhood spot. Always dependable and delicious. Thy have specials that are super, but also are wise enough to know that they should keep the favorites, like matz ball soup!!

I really love Marathon. Delicious wraps & sandwiches, there's always a table open for dine in, the staff here is SO kind/helpful/fun, and it's just a great catchall for the "I don't know...what do you want? Maybe we just get Marathon takeout?" moments where you need the most obvious, delicious, consistently excellent choice. Good go-tos include: + Both the chicken and tuna salad wraps with caesar salad. Large, filling wraps and the caesar salad on the side is super basic but memorable for whatever reason. At $15 or less this won't break the bank either. + Salmon burger is great for a twist on a classic. Comes with tomato, an remoulade I like a lot, and swiss cheese. They package this great for takeout (Actually, all of their takeout is packaged to perfection, a small detail but important). + Moroccan salmon salad with couscous and a great lemon dressing. + Comforting, tasty chicken noodle soup These are what I've tried and enjoyed the most but the whole menu is crowd pleasing. Online ordering couldn't be easier, but sometimes (like when I was ordering a larger lunch order for the folks who helped us move this past weekend) I like to call in as well. Order takeout or go enjoy lunch after time in Rittenhouse! A win and a classic and I am so grateful to have them in my neighborhood.

In came here on a recent rainy evening for dinner and my first impression was that it reminded me of an upscale diner, plenty of seating, a relaxed atmosphere and a wide variety of tempting dishes to choose from. The menu items were inexpensive, as well. Food 5/5 I decided to go with a Mexican theme, ordering up a blackberry margarita and the blackened chicken quesadilla. The quesadilla was prepared perfectly and very filling. Both were amazingly delicious! Atmosphere 5/5 As I said earlier, the restaurant is roomy and comfortable, with stylish decor. Service 5/5 Though my server wasn't the most attentive, the service was quick, friendly and ample. Overall, Marathon is a quality restaurant with plenty of variety of dishes to choose from, and judging from this experience, I will definitely be back.

Yummmy and very cozy! Came for dinner with the ladies the other week and loved it!! Atmosphere is nice inside I really like it! We all got the chicken parm and 3 milkshakes just to shake things up! Good meal overall. It wasn't the best I've ever had but it was really good! Decent price for the location and just in general type of restaurant. We had a waitress even take out picture and wasn't weird about it so great service! Everything was fast and I will definitely go again!

Always fast and consistent food. Never really a wait to sit down and eat. Their cheesesteak and buffalo chicken sandwich are great.

I was staying at the Hampton Inn near the Convention center and was looking for something on DoorDash. This place came up and looked delicious and it did not disappoint. The food was made very quickly and it was so good! They do not skimp on the hummus. It was piled on. I'll definitely try more from here since I'll be here for a few days!
