Marathon is a full-service restaurant in the Center City/Rittenhouse Square area. Sort of an American bistro. Pretty packed during lunch. Still got my food quickly. Got the scallop Caesar salad--a lunch special. At least 6 large scallops, not bad for $21.

The ratings make sense. I will preface my review by saying this was an online order as opposed to sitting down at marathon. The online options could stand to use some variety in terms of flexibility with add-ons/replacement. The breakfast menu as well as a few other areas are also weird. Omelette and salad or pancake and bacon specifically is wild to either not opt out of salad with replacement or atleast add an egg or two to the pancake and bacon option.The breakfast menu gives off, we don't like doing breakfast so we'll make it an inconvenient breakfast option.Onto the actual food now lol. The omelette is an omelette but kind of bland without being able to mix some things in, generous bacon portions throughout the omelette but lacks flavor. I see the vision with the mozzarella cheese but it gives off a weird taste as opposed to American or cheddar for an omelette, the cheese pull isn't fitting.I don't think I'd personally go out of my way to eat here again but I guess I'd try the pancake and bacon or a brunch/lunch item instead.

Came here for lunch. Service was good. I ordered the vegetable egg wrap which was good and came with a side salad. My husband ordered the salmon burger which he said was good but fishy. The original Bloody Mary was a little spicy, horseradish forward.... very very good!!

Delicious food, extremely efficient, friendly wait staff and kitchen service all rolled in a casual downtown atmosphere within walking distance of all major hotels. We started with calamari and pierogis for the group, both were phenomenal! Of course I couldn't go without a cheesesteak and Marathon slayed it. It's heavily debated on who has "the best" in the city but I guarantee Marathon is one of the best. Thank you all for a spectacular experience!

I've never actually dined in here so this review is based solely on their takeout and delivery game, which is top notch! They have a great crowd pleasing menu that ranges from soups and smoothies to chicken parm and all day breakfast options. One of those great spots when you're not totally sure what you're in the mood for...you can basically let their menu kind of decide for you. I've tried their tuna / chicken salad wraps and also their Moroccan salmon salad, all of which have been excellent. Wraps come with a tasty caesar salad and are an absolute go-to. The team members I've encountered here have always been incredibly friendly. If I lived a bit closer to either location I would be here all the time, but for now I really enjoy grabbing lunch or dinner while in the neighborhood, and would absolutely recommend a stop in to anyone.

Not our first time here but our first time for brunch. I was disappointed in my skillet it just didn't seem like the flavors matched very well. It was brisket and had a ton of bell peppers. The pierogi app is always good and was this day as well. The omelet was good as was the pancakes. Personally I didn't like my apple cider Bellini but did like the mimosas

The restaurant was really large and spacious and the staff was kind as we figured out what to order. I really wanted a turkey burger so I was happy to see it on the menu. The burger had flavor but I wished the bun was toasted. It was definitely fulling and held me over for awhile. The chicken fingers needed some flavor. The BBQ sauce definitely helped.

Solid neighborhood restaurant. What kind of food, you ask? Well a little bit of everything. Pasta, sandwiches, jambalaya, salmon. You want it, they probably have it. Being that they're a "jack of all trades", everything is average. Not great, not bad. Good and consistent. For starters, the pierogies were quite delicious and over perfectly sautéed onions. The chicken fingers were light, crispy, and flavorful. For entrees, the salads are massive so beware of that. The grilled soy ginger salmon was over couscous and veggies..a well rounded dish. The shrimp risotto was massive with tons of shrimp- solid dish. Good meal, kind waitress. You may not be impressed, but you'll be satisfied here.

I think this place is called Marathon because you can place your order, go run a marathon, come back and your food may or may not be ready. Ok, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration however it took almost an hour to get our food from arrival to table. As far as the food goes, we both made the mistake of ordering the salmon. Mine was on a salad and his was on a plate with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The salmon was overcooked and dry. I couldn't even eat mine. I didn't want to even hassle with sending either or both back because I didn't want to wait another hour. I was so over it. $70 with tip down the drain. The hubs had a glass of wine which the best thing on the table.

For a chill Sunday breakfast, look no further. This is a solid spot to take others with amazing service. You will not be forgotten -- our waitress was excellent, refilling coffee and water as needed and checking on the table regularly without overkill. The space is relaxed, and the seating and comfortable with plenty of room between tables. Turkey Sandwich with Tomato Soup (Specials): This dish was pretty good, but could use a little work. While the sandwich was good, it was a bit dry; it didn't have nearly as much cranberry sauce as I expected. However, the bacon was a great addition and packed a lot of additional flavor into each bite. To get around the dryness, it's great to dunk the sandwich into the soup, but obviously, more cranberry sauce is the solution. Value: 4/5Quality: 4/5Quantity: 5/5Service: 5/5Atmosphere: 5/5
