This was place was great! We were treated to their house made kettle chips appetizer just for it being our first time there! I ordered the grilled chicken panini and it did not disappoint! I opted for the jalapeÃ±o corn grits as my side and they were creamy with just enough punch of jalapeÃ±o. My friend ordered a tavern burger with tomato bacon jam, you read that right, TOMATO BACON JAM!! She chose fried whole okra as her side & they were delish! Put Marlow's on your list when in midtown!!

This was my first time at a Marlows tavern and I must say it was a great experience. I will definitely return. I ordered the turkey burger and a red wine sangria. The service was prompt and the staff was very friendly. The burger was very tender and great flavor. The only tip i have is concerning the sangria. I love sangria and have had it at many many places. The taste here was good but the way they cut up the fruit makes it difficult to sip as it would get stuck in the straw. It might just be my small idiosyncrasies but its what kept me from giving this a 5 star experience.

This is one of the first places we went to when we moved here 4 years ago and we keep coming back. It's a "chain", but it's also a great neighborhood restaurant. We often sit at the bar and the service is always excellent. We went for the "Giving Kitchen" event sponsored by Sweetwater last week and had a great time. They had 4 different kinds of wings and the smoked wings and sweet chili wings were amazing. It may be the best wings we've had in ATL to date. Anyway, you can't go wrong by coming here - the Parmesan Fries is one of our favs and we usually get the special of the evening or the burgers. Just a great place overall and we'd definitely recommend it if you are in the mood for very good American/upscale "pubish" type food.

My initial impression of Marlow's was great- I was actually in a car wreck directly in front of the restaurant (someone t-boned me), in the middle of prime dinner time, and the manager saw the whole thing happen. He brought me bottles of water and offered to call the police for me since I was shaken up. I subconsciously associated his kindness with the restaurant, and figured it must be a great place. I was wrong. My close friend decided to have his birthday dinner here yesterday evening. He called earlier in the day to make a reservation for the 12 of us, since the seating is fairly limited, and there are only 1 or 2 options for seating large parties. They said that was totally fine, they would see us at 7:30. We showed up at 7:00 (always better to be early than late!) and apparently the reservation wasn't made, or was lost somehow. The general manager gave us extreme attitude and didn't believe we'd called at all. We did have a confirmation email for the reservation, but at that point it didn't matter. After an hour and a half wait (during which the bar staff was rude when I went to get my partner and I drinks while we waited), we were seated. My partner ordered the burger, and I got the grilled chicken sandwich. We both agreed that our meals were "meh", not bad but not particularly good. My piece of chicken was about 3/4 of the bun size, so lots of extra bread, and not worth $13. A vegan friend had the black bean burger, which was mushy (as black bean burgers tend to be), and the avocado she ordered for an extra charge was 1/4 of one thin slice of avocado. However, a few other people at the table got the Grilled Chicken Stack and were raving about it. The kettle chips appetizer (with gorgonzola cheese and bacon) was very good too. Our server wasn't terribly friendly, which would've been okay except that when it came time to pay, I extended my check toward him and started to ask, "Do you take Discover?" when he cut me off and sneered, "Oh we don't take Discover" (I wish I could better relay his tone!) and he immediately turned his back and walked away before I could ask anything else or hand him a different card. Overall, a bad experience with mediocre food and poor service from all levels of employees. I would give one star, but since a few people at my table enjoyed their food, and one of the managers was above-and-beyond kind to me, two it is.

You could say I frequent this place...as I'm writing this from the bar while I grab lunch. This place is a solid lunch spot, with some great burgers. They are always made fresh to order, with some great toppings, and are just as great getting one to go. Marlow's to-go service is speedy too. I call in to place an order, 15 minutes later when I show up my food is just coming out of the kitchen. Perfect! I'm here at least once a week to grab a burger. Service is always great, and the bartenders are always friendly and strike up good conversation when they aren't slammed. One of my favorite things, other than the burgers is the rotating special menu they have. This time it has a South African flair that I'm excited to try. Overall, hard to beat solid spot in midtown with good prices, service, and food.

The food and serve was amazing. I had the BBQ rib special of the night with cornbread and Mac and Cheese sides. We also had the Ahi Tuna Poke with avocado.

Really great! They asked if it was our first time there and surprised us with a free appetizer. I don't remember what it was called it it was basically baked kettle chips topped with blue cheese, bacon, and green onion. They have a nice menu of original cocktails and a few unusual sides like asparagus fries and chickpea fries. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and my only complaint is that grilling the tortilla made it a little tough otherwise they would have gotten a 5.

Had 2 free entree vouchers so deciding to dine here was a no-brainer and we were very pleased. Shrimp and crab nachos were excellent - only complaint was that the jalapeÃ±os were super hot. Crispy short rib - Intriguing dish. It really was crispy on the outside. Unlike most short ribs I've had, this one had a good deal of bite to it. Definitely not tender and "fork cuttable" but I like a firmer cut of meat anyway. The grits, kale and demi were excellent though. Tavern salad - pretty good. My veg wife enjoyed it. Service - top notch. Atmosphere - definitely was loud but fine.

Terrific dining option, with a combination of good service, a quality menu, and a nice setting. Was staying at the nearby Renaissance Midtown, and the hotel staff highly recommended Marlow's as a solid option within walking distance. I was immediately greeted upon arriving, and after being seated after a short wait on a busy night, I had a superb dining experience. My server, Rachel, recommended something off the dinner specials, and I selected it - a grilled chicken dish with risotto, spinach, and squash. Enjoyed a tasty appetizer also, a hummus plate that was really good. Solid dining option in the Midtown area!

Food = 3.5 Fish tacos were excellent but the crab cake was so weird. First time ever seeing crabcake with a crust. The waitress was kind to take it back and off the bill Service = 5 Loved it. Just right. Even the chef/manager came from the back to apologize Ambience = 4 Regular pub/restaurant setting. Nothing to blow me out of the water.

Ok I LOVE this place. I've been to this location with family, friends, as well as for a business meeting and the service, food & drinks are spot on EVERY TIME. If you like or are on the fence about calamari, try it here - it's amazing!!!!! Also, the baby kale caesar, the burgers, and the fish tacos are all good as well. If you get the shrimp and grits, be mindful that the "grits" are grit cakes and not the traditional southern style. Also, I've been to the Northlake location several times as well and had good experiences. The staff there is not quite up to par as this location's staff, but the food is still great.

Just get the burger. One of the best I ever had. Friendly service and other food is good if your friends don't do burgers.

I like the space. It's an airy, upscale bar, but with midscale prices. Sadly, that was the only thing I really liked about this place. Sure, their service was decent, even though the waiter talked way too fast for my ears. And their fries were fine, even though I don't understand why so many restaurants emphasize "hand-cut" as if this somehow makes the fry taste better. But my real issue comes with the wagyu burger, which tasted nowhere near as soft as wagyu is supposed to be. Honestly, it tasted like any other burger. I've had wagyu at other places where you bite into the meat and it melts in your mouth. Not so, here. This might be a fine place if you're looking for a bar in midtown, but it will be disappointing to any foodie.

Marlow's Midtown has become my go to place. Whether I have company or I want a night to myself. I can go to Marlow's and have a great time. The servers are great! The food is always tasty. Well except the spear pickles... They're a bit weird. Anyways, if you get a chance to meet Corey or Ashely it'll be a pleasure! Some of the best bartenders I've had in my life in the over 10 countries I've been too!!! A great place with a even better atmosphere!

Great atmosphere, downstairs from my boyfriends condo, easy to order "to go food"and quickly pick it up. Solid bar selection with a seasonal menu and a great atmosphere. We are always greeted by the same managers and barely ever have a wait. The food has always been great, definitely a good spot for a "higher class" bar fare.

Wesley R.

I can't say enough good things! The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I was especially pleased with how inexpensive the meal was. We had the asparagus fries, a black and bleu burger, a Caesar salad with blackened salmon, and the chocolate cake (which was to DIE for). I recommend all of the above. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

Stephanie P.

Fantastic food and service. Gluten free menu available. Loved my shrimp and grits, couldn't believe the generous amount of shrimp in my meal. My party was all first time diners at Marlow's. The manager brought us a complimentary appetizer that looked delicious. Sadly it wasn't GF, but my dining companions devoured it!

This place is really closer to a three-star establishment, but I'm rounding up for the sheer fact that the employees have a tolerance threshold that would rival the likes of Mother Teresa. During my recent visit, they graciously accommodated a tribe of eight foreigners, who proceeded to occupy a large table, order waters, request their food to go with separate checks, and then book promptly thereafter. After running the waiter to filth, they proceeded to leave no tip. It is for this reason that I would never last an hour - let alone a day - in the hospitality industry. No folks, the customer is not always right - in fact, in many cases they are indeed delusional ignoramuses. Food: Marlow's is a regional chain restaurant with casual American food offerings. The menu isn't exactly a cathartic culinary experience, but there's something to please any person with taste buds and reasonable expectations. Our group started with the kettle chips, which were topped with gorgonzola cheese, bacon, tomato, and scallions - the chips themselves were nicely prepared and served piping hot, but the toppings were a bit sparse for the price point. For an entree, I opted for the grilled chicken BLT sandwich, which was comprised of apple-wood smoked bacon, arugula, and fried green tomatoes on ciabatta. The sandwich was sizably portioned and flavorful. Most entrees come with your choice of side from a fairly diverse and impressive list - I opted for the white cheddar grit cakes, which were excellent. Service: The staff during my visit were all pleasant, efficient, and knowledgable about the menu. Our waitress was quick to refill drinks and handled our party of six with relative ease. We also told her that we had a show to catch and she made every effort to ensure that our orders were taken and the check was delivered promptly. Atmosphere: The interior of this place is rather stark, but they do have a decent outdoor patio, which overlooks West Peachtree Street - unfortunately, it's not fully covered though, which limited its allure during our rainy day visit. The dining room includes a diverse array of seating options, including booths, standard tables, and high-tops. The restaurant also has a large bar area that spans the entire length of the restaurant and has several televisions. Cost: Moderately priced. Appetizers are generally $5-$10, sandwiches are $10, salads are $5-$10, and larger entrees are around $15-$20. Sides are $3 and desserts are $6. Other: Marlow's is located in Midtown at the intersection of West Peachtree and 8th Streets. Free parking for customers is available in the Plaza Midtown lot, which can be accessed off Peachtree Place (9th St) The restaurant is also just down the street from the Midtown MARTA station. Hours of operation are Sunday, 10:30AM-11PM, Monday-Thursday, 11:30AM-12AM, and Friday-Saturday, 11:30AM-1AM. Online ordering and takeout are available.

I know this is a chain but I think there is something special about this place. I love their wine menu, different things you don't see around the Atl wine bunch and they have tons of variety. The FRIES are great! Love an order of the truffle fries. I had the Sizzin Feta and if you like feta that is a MUST!! I also love their calamari it is spicy it has this killer sauce like a plum sauce of some kind but it is spicy and delicious! I got the Chinese Chicken salad and split the grilled buffalo wrap and I enjoyed them both very much! Great area, great lunch/dinner place!!

Gave our food to another table. Then offered to "rush" our chicken dish. Not a good ring to that. Still charged us for the appetizer and we left. Avoid this place.

I'm just catching up on reviews, so this is not a recent one in spite of the date. BUT that said, I go there as often as I can. It's a really great place to have a business conversation because it's just noisy enough that others can't here you but not so noisy that you can't hear yourself. Great wine by the glass variety, I'm still working my way through the list. I could make a dinner of nothing but appetizers, which is again a great option for a business dinner. They change the menu occasionally, so except for the kettle chips, I can't say anything is a standard for me. BUT I always look forward to what's new and I haven't been disappointed yet. Great wait staff too.

Really great place. There is one closer to where I live but ended up down town for a day at the High and decided to have lunch here. Great service and atmosphere and the food was very yummy. My dining partner got the best chickpea fries! I had a black and bleu burger that was perfection. Can't wait to try my location 5 minutes from home!

I won a gift card to Marlow's Tavern, and I must say, I was grateful for it. This place is the bomb! We got the kettle chips and wings for an appetizer and they were amazing! The chips were so crispy and the toppings were perfect! As foot our entrees, I got the filet mignon with a Caesar salad and OH MY GOSH! The filet cut like butter. My husband got a simple burger and fries and he was not disappointed. To finish it off, we shared a Creme Brule, which was sinful. Everything we ate was so delicious. The atmosphere is great as well, it was great to be able to watch a game but also have it not be the main focus. And the service was just phenomenal! We had an amazing time at Marlow's Tavern (the midtown location), and we will definitely be back!!

I used to love their Sunday brunch, until they took off the crab cakes benedict, which cost them a star in my rating (you take off a food item I love, I take off a star: fair enough). Still like the food here very much. Love their chicken queso soup and fish tacos! My favorite side is the fried okra. I know it's hard to go wrong with a buffalo chicken wrap and it's a pretty mundane thing that you can find anywhere, but trust me: I don't know what Marlow's does to make their buffalo chicken wrap this good, but it's really, really good!

That double cheeseburger has twice the cheese--not meat :( Noise level is HORRIBLE!!! At least 60 decibels. Other than that, truffle Parmesan fries were tasty. Good was fresh. $14 each for burger and one draught beer each. Pretty good. Diverse crowd.

This was the best visit ever to Marlow's Tavern. It was my colleagues first time there and she received a free order of the loaded kettle chips. That was only the beginning of a great experience. As always the blueberry lemonade was GREAT! The patty melt was superb also.

1. Wasted 2 hours. Everything was super slow. 2. Being ignored. Bad attitude 3. Staff were not organized. Service was in a mess with low efficiency. 4. The dessert, warm chocolate cake thing, was terrible. 5. The waiter left out one thing we ordered. 6. Recommend that you spend same amount of money nearby at Steel.

Bread pudding. Only sold here twice a year. It's made with honey. It's not just a dessert, it's a bucket list dish.

I would definitely recommend We came here on the recommendation from the hotel and it was a very good decision. Service was very good all the way through and when the manager found out it was the first time there he brought out for us these potato chips with cheese and garlic etc. very delicious. I ordered a black bean burger, which was very good with a grit cake that was heavenly after a beets salad that had goat cheese and quinoa, very yummy. My husband had a grilled chicken sandwich with one of the best French fries we've had in a long time. On the way back from the bathroom I fell (my fault) and two waitresses asked how they could help me and brought ice cubes in a bag right away. I had asked the waitress that was really nice what was the secret for the grit cakes and the manager came out and told me the complete recipe. All in all they managed to make a sandwich place into a great experience, thank you!

I came here a few nights ago since it was right next to the hotel we were staying at. Upon walking in, I noticed that it was pretty busy and had a gastropub-y feel which I love. The server was very friendly and happy to hear that it was our first time in ATL. She gave us a few recommendations and I ended up ordering the truffle fries and the steak salad - they were both delicious! Overall, this was the best dining experience we had during our stay in ATL, and will definitely be back the next time we visit.

This Marlow's location is hopping! The bar is always a hot spot on the weekends, and the Sunday brunch is really popular (and delicious). During game days the place has all TVs turned to sports coverage, and they often close the street outside for tailgates and block parties. Overall, a great neighborhood hangout and a good place to grab a casual bite.

What an incredible place! I had a wonderful dining experience here. Their fried green tomatoes come with an excellent sauce, their burgers are excellent, and their shrimp and grits is out of this world! The service was excellent. Would absolutely return.

This review is solely about the Brunch Buffet and they I am not a fan of buffets, I am a fan of Marlow's brunch. The buffet is affordably priced for everything you get on it ; however, be prepared to stand in line or have wait for a table available. They have an action Omelette station, french toast, pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, several types of sausages, pastas, salad, muffins etc. all for $15.99 The bottomless mimosas are $15.00 and with the wait, you will definitely get your $$ worth. Also, remember street parking is free on Sundays :)

I've been to the Marlow's Tavern located in Vinings. Marlow's is blowing up though! It most recently opened up a joint in Dunwoody, and I saw another Marlow's off Sugarloaf Pkwy. Initially, I had this impression of Marlow's tavern (based on the Vinings location) that it was this cool tavern/pub with some character and a good place to chill. When I saw the Marlow's off Sugarloaf, it became an upscale (okay, not upscale contemporary or modern style but upscale suburb style!) tavern/pub -- really, more of a restaurant. Well, the Marlow's off Peachtree St. was definitely nicer than the Vinings but not quite like the Sugarloaf location. Definitely nice with decor and all, but the vibe I got from this Marlow's is a mix between sit down restaurant and pub. PARKING: As Daniel B. noted in his quick and very useful tip, there is free parking in the Publix Parking Garage (located off Peachtree Pl.). CHICKEN PANINI --- $11 The grilled chicken panini came with grilled chicken arugula, buffalo mozzarella cheese, and tomato. This dish also comes with fries. I asked that they exclude the arugula (I just cannot love this no matter how many times I've tried!). When I received my chicken panini, they cut it in half and then stacked them on one another so it looked like I only had two halves (in actuality, it was cut into quarters). Like a fool, I tried to stuff the two quarters of the sandwich (which were stacked together) in my mouth and eat it. I couldn't quite talk since my mouth was stuffed. After looking at this more carefully (before my next bite), I realized that it was double stacked. =) [Please take a note of this for yourself so you are not stuffing your face like I was!!!] The chicken was very, very thin. I wish it could have had some more meat on it, especially for $11. Granted, it's a panini, but still... =) The fresh mozzarella though was perfectly melted and very delicious... the cheese was fresh! After reading so many reviews about the parmesan truffle fries, I thought I should order these in place of the regular fries. However, I wasn't aware that I'd be charged $1.25 (I put $1.15 on my pic on accident) for substituting. I'm feeling a little jipped (sp?). I paid $11 for a very thin piece of chicken? mozzarella? and a couple slices of tomato? Anyway, I'll stop griping about it, but I was surprised to see this on my check. The parmesan fries were pretty good... and I would order them again (as long as I'm aware I'll be charged extra!). As for the service, our server was efficient. We arrived at 1 pm for lunch and needed to leave by 1:30 on a Monday afternoon. We didn't wait more than 3 minutes for a seat and we actually left by 1:30. I was really surprised that it was possible, but once we told our server, she said we would have plenty of time. She was right. She was on top of our drinks, service, and condiments we needed. She was pleasant, so no complaints there! I will be back, but I'm gonna make sure I ask if I'll be charged extra for anything I order... =)

Solid! A buddy suggested we check this place out for dinner one night in town. It didn't disappoint. Our server was great and drinks were well made. Had three appetizers... The chips with bacon, chives, and cheese were on the house. We also got some sort of tempura-like shrimp with a couple dipping sauces which were very good. And then the best thing was the crab and shrimp nachos. They were the F'n TRUTH! I should have gotten two more orders. I had the French dip with parm fries and my girlfriend had the panini. Her cousin I think had one of the burgers. Everything was very good and well priced for the portions. We'll definitely be back when in town again.

SPOILER ALERT: NO LONGER OFFER BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS!!!!! -May 2015 Having moved back to Atlanta, brunch was one of the things I was looking forward to. Brunch at Marlow's was something on my mind and the bf knew to make it happen or else!! This USED to be a GREAT spot for brunch...as a matter of fact this was my favorite place for Bottomless brunch. Parking deck in the back, patio seating, unpretentious atmosphere and all for a reasonable price of around $30 per person...but my how things have changed: *Bottomless mimosas are no longer available (apparently this changed a year and half ago according to the waitress). They are now $4 each or $18 for a carafe. I mean I get it...ppl took advantage and got DRUNK- I'm guilty....but wasn't that the point?? Come eat, drink, and be merry all for one low price?? I'm sure the bottomless option was cutting into their bottom line but when we walked in today the place was EMPTY!! I even said to my BF "what's going on here....it's empty?" He thought we were just early but it was about prime brunch time- 12:30. *The Buffett....or maybe more appropriately the Brunch Pickings-these had been picked over and over and over. Obviously presentation is not important here. This was just sad....a few banquet style hot dishes that were picked and prodded over. I was excited to see eggs benedict on the offerings table, but appalled to find the poached eggs laying haphazardly on a corner of a grilled to death English muffin. Several benedicts missing the egg, or the Canadian bacon, or the hollandaise (actually I don't recall seeing any hollandaise). It was like a child came in and took all the edible muffins (you needed a steak knife for this one) from the bottom leaving the remaining ingredients in its path. It was just sad all around. Even the person cooking made to order omelets and waffles was sitting down half the time probably thinking of better times at Marlow's. For the lunch lovers of brunch they offered "Salmon" Pasta which seemed like a good idea, but they left out the salmon....perhaps it should have been called "Pasta with an essence of Salmon"?? They also had a sundried chicken dish which looked as appetizing as everything else up there....blah The corn and jack cheese grits were still the winner albeit room temperature, and how good can room temperature grits scrapped out the back corner of the hot dish be (since apparently refilling the food was not a priority)? Overall I give Marlow's 2 stars because I believe in their lunch/dinner menu, but not this BS brunch thing they are now offering. We literally yelped other brunch places while pushing the food around our plates. This really saddened my Sunday. If I were Marlow, I'd scrap brunch or go back to the old ways....no wonder it was so empty and easy to get a table (inside, outside, at the bar...NO WAIT, no wonder).

I've been here a couple of times, mainly for lunch and happy hours since the location is only a block from my office. Overall, I have always had a pleasant experience. The servers are very attentive, the food is satisfying and consistent, and the atmosphere is comfortable! The management constantly walks around to check on guests and their waitstaff, and one can easily tell this is a restaurant whose staff genuinely cares about good business and a creating positive dining experience for their patrons. Try their Black and Blue Salad (a very delicious steak salad) and their Calamari!

Larry G.

We were in Atlanta on business and had a free dinner voucher from the nearby Regency Suites, so we figured we'd try it out. Dinner was very good, service was attentive and very friendly. Even if we didn't have the vouchers, the prices wouldn't have been bad. In fact we liked it so much we went back for lunch the next day.
(5)
Bridget K.

Food is just ok. Burger is decent, kale salad is good, calamari is terrible. Service is always fantastic and keeps you coming back. Large bar, great for solo dinners after work. Vibe is relaxed and informal, definitely a slightly more upscale neighborhood bar/ restaurant.

Mansi R.

Marlow's is our go-to restaurant on a chill weekend day or late night. Their food always satisfies the late night craving. I love their firecracker shrimp, fish tacos, grits, and chicken sandwich. The boyfriend is obsessed with their chickpea fries and chicken panini. He wakes up craving those on certain days. Their cocktail and beer selection is great too. They even tried making a lemony michelada with they had Pacifico on tap. It's awesome being able to catch a football game with their doors/windows open facing West Peachtree on a sunny day.

Whitney H.

Ummm. FANTASTIC !!! I was meeting a friend there for dinner after work. Amazing atmosphere and our waiter was very friendly. Its nice after a long day of work to have dinner where they play Radiohead's "IN RAINBOWS" cover to cover. (WOOHOO) The manager even brought us a free appetizer for being new visitors....score! Definitely going back.... hopefully on a Monday when they play full albums. I am hoping for KID A or THE BENDS

Raven T.

Some of the best service you'll get in Midtown. I love Marlow's! I always make friends and have great conversations with the staff. They're so sweet and friendly, but also attentive and will go above and beyond without question. I've been coming here for years. Brunch is my favorite. The buffet is worth every penny the $15.99 (I think thats how much it was the last time I went) it costs. Fresh omelettes, salads, fruit, crepes or waffles, along with all the breakfast favorites including biscuits and gravy. If you order from the regular menu you won't be disappointed either. You can indulge in bottomless mimosas (after 12:30pm) for $14.99 as well. Run, don't walk to Marlow's and tell Matt and/or Katie I said hi!

What's not to love about this place? I love it. Free, covered parking and THE very best shrimp and grits in Atlanta. Hands down!! The waitstaff is always prompt, attentive, & nice. I've also tried the honey mustard wings and a side of fries. YES & YES!! The fish tacos were ok but as I mentioned earlier the shrimp & grits reign supreme!!

Everything was delicious! Our waiter and his boss were so freaking sweet! Everyone working there seemed really happy. Their customer service is STELLAR and the food is fantastic! Marlow's will definitely be on the list when ever I am in Atlanta!

I thought this would be "bar food". I was expecting it to be good based on the menu, but I was not expecting what I got! I ended up having the best fish tacos I have ever had in my entire life here! The fish was grilled and seasoned perfectly and they were presented beautifully. I went with the fresh fruit as my side. The price was beyond reasonable given the quality. I think it was around $10-$11 if I remember correctly. I also tried a small bite of the prime rib dip and was in love with that as well. The bread was amazing! We ordered it without the mayo and you couldn't tell. It wasn't dry at all. It was great. I love that they offer various sides. Several people in our party were watching calories and went with salads, fruit and veggies instead of fries or chips. There wasn't even an upcharge. The real thing that kept me stopping by here for a drink any chance I had though was the grapefruit ricky. I have no idea what was in that thing, but it was heaven! If you're a grapefruit fan order it! The service was above and beyond great each time we were here! They really did bend over backwards for us. It seemed to really fill up around dinner time, but they were hustling to get people in quickly.

I had supper with my family here on Friday night. I think that the food was pretty good, but the service that we received was absolutely awful... My party arrived at about 8:15. The restaurant was not packed. For a Friday night in a Midtown restaurant, one could almost classify it as empty. My father and I both ordered the Royale with Cheese, which is a burger made with Wagyu beef. We both wanted the burger cooked medium rare; 15 minutes after we placed the orderthe waitress came back and told us that we could not have our burgers cooked that way with no rhyme or reason. We then changed our order to a regular cheeseburger ADD BACON. It was specifically reiterated ADD BACON. I also switched my cheese. When the food came out, there were various complaints. The bacon cheeseburgers LOW AND BEHOLD had NO BACON!!! The cheese that I selected was also not on my burger. The burger was actually cooked pretty well (shocking)! My brother ordered the buffalo chicken wrap which he said was not very good and lacked buffalo sauce. The fries and appetizers were all pretty decent. To continue on about the service... our drinks were hardly replenished. Always had to wait an extended period for refills or new beers. My dad really politely hinted at the fact that we needed better service multiple times. It got so bad that a few times he had to tell another server to go and find ours. She also seemed to have kind of a bad attitude. Overall, I'm not impressed with this place. Bar food is bar food and I am not a fan of their yuppie interpretation of it. The food was pretty good but not good enough to substantiate me or my family coming back after this terrible experience. Next time, I'll just stay in Sandy Springs and eat at one of the local joints because I know I will receive better service and better food at a cheaper price.

I decided to spend the 4th of July with David K. I am not sure if it was the fireworks or if it was the rain, but everything finally fell into place. We both realize that 1.) We are super compatible and 2.) We are incredibly lazy on holidays. That being said, not a single one of us wanted to make an effort to prepare a meal. Sure, let's go out to eat -that is if you can find a place open on the 4th. David K. actually found out that Marlow's was open and it saved us because we were both starving, yet too stubborn to make something. We went out to Marlow's to find that they were actually pretty busy. Not slammed, but steady even on a Holiday. The service was great. I did not feel neglected once by our server. The food was delicious and Marlow always has really good Pinot Noir (BONUS!). So to end my short Yelp review (because what more can you really say about a chain restaurant?). Thanks Marlow for being open on the 4th of July and Thank You David K. for being my knight and shinning armor and taking me out to dinner.

Just wow. The staff is absurdly friendly. I've never seen a bartender shake every guest's hand and ask for their name either. I ordered the tavern burger and it was great. Great atmosphere, a little on the small size, but definitely a must try.

Sunday night after a Falcons game. Falcons lost.... place was not crowded. Quick service and good food. Had the Bacon Blue Cheese burger. It is a little fancy to be called a tavern and has better food than a REAL Tavern might. Both are positives. Worth a try.

Just had the best experience at Marlow's. Came in by myself, ordered a wine and the fish tacos with the fried asparagus appetizer as my side. The waitress then immediately came back with a complimentary free appetizer (loaded kettle chips) because it was my first time dining here. The food was amazing, the service was very attentive and nice. My waitress, Chelsea, was absolutely lovely. The atmosphere inside was very nice as well. Plenty of TVs and really awesome music. I was really happy with my experience. For $20 I got an appetizer, meal with a side, and a glass of wine. Can't beat that anywhere.

Kenny G.

For what it's worth I was pleased with everything. The Tavern has a very nice layout. The staff was very friendly and welcomed me to make myself at home. It's the little things. The shrimp nachos were absolutely amazing. I had to force myself not to eat all of them. Delicious food and Generous portions coupled with reasonable prices is a recipe for success. And 5 stars in my book. Convenient located to the Renaissance.

Fatima A.

This place is great. We came for the Sunday brunch, which was the standard fare so we ended up ordering off the menu. My friends ordered the black and blue burger and I ordered the shrimp and grits. The burgers were good but my dish was AWESOME - hands down better than the burgers. I highly recommend it if you come here. There's a parking lot so don't let the location deter you.

S J.

I love this place! Consistently great menu items. It changes seasonally so there is often something new to try. Creative, delicious (and strong) cocktails. And in my opinion, the sangria in town. The service is phenomenal. Whenever I come, I feel like a special guest. One of the most memorable items from my recent visit - the Warm Chocolate Cake. But the name is misleading. Yes, it's warm and chocolatey...but cake? It's more like a brownie. And it's huge! It's chewy, and crunchy (from all wonderful pecans) and just plain tasty. I couldn't figure out what made the flavor so unique. Then, I realized it's covered in some kind of honey syrup. All topped off with vanilla ice cream...DELISH!!

Rick D.

Marlow's. Where to begin. Lets start with the raw burger. Ordered a burger there last week, Medium. Came out cool and bloody. Am on interferon so raw meat can kill me in days. They were nice and brought me another burger to take home, but charged me for the burger since I took a bite. No excuse for a patty cooked that short a time. Then this week, while out searching for someplace to eat during the snows of 2014, we see they are open. Full staff from what I can see. Only..they "Don't have anyone on staff that can cook." But that damn bar was open. Everyone made it in to work except kitchen staff. That is not being a good neighbor. put a sign on your door.

Carter P.

I like to think of Marlow's as an upscale 2000's version of TGI Friday's. The menu offers their twist on many traditional bar favorites - like truffled parmesan fries or, their other fries, asparagus fries - be assured though they taste more "frie" than "asparagus." For Mardi Gras, they had a fairly authentic Creole New Orleans menu and I remember ordering E'toufee one year when we stopped in. Service is top notch and the beer selection met our needs. We would usually have this be our starting point and then trek elsewhere in the Midtown 'hood. Enjoy.

I have been here with my dad a handful of times for lunch. It is always enjoyable but I never felt the need to write a review until now. We sat at the bar and the bartender Matt was so friendly and upbeat that it made for a really pleasant lunch. We both got salads which were also delicious, but the service really made the meal! Thanks!

I love this spot! I live in the condos above and frequent this spot a good bit. They always have a great seasonal menu, awesome menu staples, and a plethora of drinks with rotating taps. The food always tastes fresh and well made just for you. The Sunday brunch is nice, although I wish they had more offerings or rotated a few. They also shut down part of 8th street and have outside events for big games, which is a cool and nice change. It is great for a date night or just grabbing a bite to eat with the crew. I take my vegetarian gf there and she loves it as well with a good number of selections of vegetarian items and the ability to special order off the menu for her dietary needs. Kudos to the staff and cooks for that.

Marlowes tavern is one of my favorites. I first learned about this place through my parents who live up in Cumming, GA- they go to the one at the avenues Forsyth. However, my boyfriend and I live in sandy springs so we normally go downtown (great atmosphere), or if we want to stay close to home we go to the one In downtown dunwoody. I chose to do the review on the one downtown because it's really my favorite. Partly because this is just about the only place you can get a quality meal with such a great atmosphere for under $30, and partly because I love how you can sit outside on a nice summer night and enjoy your meal looking down Peachtree at the Atlanta skyline. To drink: I normally get sweet tea or water. The sweet tea is sweet, but not overly done. The waiters and waitresses are almost always coming by, refilling drinks, and checking on you. We have had a few iffy experiences with waiters forgetting about us at the location in dunwoody, but never at the location downtown! For appetizer: We always get asparagus fries. They are only $5. They are crunchy and a little breaded on the outside and come with a thick creamy white sauce. The sauce has flavors of garlic, and is mayo based. I have had both the kettle chips and wings with my parents before and all have vibrant flavors with various toppings you can choose from. To eat: I always get the black and bleu burger. I know, I should probably switch is up and get something different but I like this item choice because it's ALWAYS on the menu. Many items come and go because the menu here is seasonal. However, this burger choice is here to stay. Recently, they raised the price of the burger $1 so it is now $11 (still worth it). The burger is HUGE, is topped with smoked bacon and the Gorgonzola sauce (Which I always order extra of). My side item is the Cesar salad. The salad is topped with roasted tomato and homemade crouton. The Cesar dressing is certainly homemade and it is a great combination with the burger! Each and every time the food we get here is quality. I am fairly picky and have never had to send anything back at marlowes. There was only two times (At the Dunwoody location) that we had questionable service. I love this place and will probably continue to go to marlowes tavern twice a month, unless they raise prices once more.

If you looooooooove brunch buffet's as much as I do YOU MUST try Marlow's Tavern. The buffet options are plentiful and delicious. You can not go wrong here. It is a bit pricey (approximately $16per person), but still worth it. Go with an empty stomach and you will be in waffle/bacon/jalapeno grit heaven! LOL

This is my mom and I's lunch spot! She gets her fish tacos with the amazing cheesy grits and I either order the mouth watering cheese burger or the succulent French dip sandwich.

I was introduced to Marlow's Tavern a few years ago and have since been to the Alpharetta location once, the Duluth location MANY times and now the Midtown location. If there is one thing, I can say that the food seems pretty consistent throughout the different locations. My friend had her rehearsal dinner here last weekend, based on my recommendation. The nice thing about this location is that there is free parking in the deck next door. That's rare in the city. We had a group of about 12 and took up two large high-tops. Despite our large group, and our weird ordering (the girls' table ordered apps and entrees like normal people while the guys' table ordered two rounds of apps and entrees much, much later) I think they handled us very well. We got: Ahi Tuna Poke - DELICIOUS. Went well with the fried wonton chips. Fried Green Tomatoes - Good, but not the best FGT I have had. We only got two slices and they were on the small side. I enjoyed the burrata mozzarella on the ciabatta bread though. Also based on my recommendation, most of my table got the Shrimp & Grits. Even though I haven't had this dish in a while, something about it looked different. I feel like they skimped on it or something. Have they always used frozen shrimp in the dish? I can't remember. The sauce was an unappealing shade of bright pastel orange. I don't know, it just wasn't the same anymore. I ate about half before I decided I was done. They don't make great leftovers since the grit cake loses its crispiness and gets very soggy in the sauce. I think this is a solid, OK place to meet up with your friends, have some drinks and more "upscale" bar food and catch the game.

Jessie K.

The ginger skinny margarita was too sweet for me, but when I told the server, she willingly took it away to have it re-made. Tasted better, but meh... not my fav. I ordered the wings. And because I'm a spice whore, I asked if the buffalo style could be made spicier. I emphasized that if "extra spicy" only means "extra sauce" then I'll pass. The server assured me that they'd find a way to make it spicy. I was very impressed. It was spicy, nice and crispy (without the need to order it extra crispy) with just the right amount of vinegar. Mm.... finger-lickin' gooooood. The garlic truffle oil fries are to die for. Really, they're that good. This place serves bar food that's so much more flavorful and delicious. It's as if Marlow had an epiphany one day and said, "Just 'cause it's bar food, doesn't mean it has to be shitty." Thanks, Marlow, I agree completely. Excellent service, tasty treats, and good locations.

Reed D.

This spot is in my building. From the management to the waiters, everyone is damn nice and really inviting. Food is always spot on and while I wish they had more beers on tap they have just about everything I could want in a bottle. Sunday brunch is legit, food and bottomless mimosas always do the trick.
(5)
David K.

I'm really surprised I haven't already written a review because I've been coming here sporadically since they opened a few years ago (including an awesome Yelp event toward the beginning of 2008). The food is consistently great and I have to concur with everyone about the great fish tacos. I'm not really a fan of fish... or tacos for that matter, so it says a lot that I sometimes come here just for a plate of these things. Today I discovered (possibly re-discovered) the chicken queso soup and I practically licked the bowl. I might have been embarrassed, but it's really that good.

Free parking and quick service. Our bartender was awesome (we sat at the bar) and beers are moderately priced. Sweetwater 420 for $4.75 doesn't seem too horrible when you're in Atlanta at a fine establishment. Work on the servers being a tad bit nicer and you've got yourself a regular. Cheers!

I like it. It's in a nice location in Midtown near Georgia Tech Square. They got a nice outdoor seating area and you can watch good looking and pretty Atlantans running/walking by. I had a black and blue steak salad. It was a quality steak salad, with crisp greens and tomatoes with a light dressing. I was kind of surprised by how good it was. Service was decent. Not a bad job Marlow!

Jennie K.

Game effing over. The summertime only menu included a watermelon margarita, but since tequila and I don't mix, the wonderful bartender concocted something rum and watermelon-y that was delicious. And then some. I gulped that awesomeness down. And just to be more picky, I had their "black and blue" salad without the "blue" (the bleu cheese dressing). I substituted caesar's dressing and had a wonderfully medium tenderloin with it. YUM. I think they're a bit pricy for bar food, but I'd rather pay a few bucks more 1337'ness than 1/2 the price for inedible appetizers.

Need to update their hours of operation because it states they close at 12am on Sunday but when I called at 11pm to place an order, they said they were closed. Not a happy camper

Pretend it's the foodie SAT's and complete the following: Kim B :: Marlow's Tavern Midtown as CN :: ____ If you said Pub 71, you get a gold star! Her local fave place for bar food and drinks (kiddies even allowed, because the food suits all palates) was introduced to me today and I'm a fan. [Yes, I can still write about she-of-the-recent departure, and will do so with pleasure and honor] This is my favorite Marlow's by far! Kennesaw's pretty cool but way too far off my usual beaten path, and Cumberland's just ok. But W. Peachtree's very cool. Reasons: 1 Free parking in a busy part of town. 2 Cool and friendly bartenders. 3 Ahh-mazing "Toasted Cheese" - really, one of the best grilled cheeses I've had and y'all KNOW how I feel about my grilled cheese sammies. Grilled focaccia (a light version that I adored) with fontina, provolone and marscapone and a bowl of marinara for dipping. Cut into the cutest, tastiest triangles. GET THIS!!! 4 Really yummy fried okra app. Very lightly battered. Delicious. 5 Very cool and inviting space. 6 Bakon vodka for great bloody mary's and a delicious twist on a drink I've only had at Dantanna's, the Dark & Stormy - Marlow's Spring Drink Menu includes a "Mango Dark & Stormy." Tasty and juuuust strong enough. A-OK! 7 Fun and cute local businessmen also out for drinks on a pretty afternoon. Not bad when you have a determined friend playing matchmaker. Sold. I shall return, whenever asked. Or whenever I can talk the Missus K. B. into an afternoon of hooky.

Do not visit this establishment if you are parking. I live above so it's convenient. I have had two seperate friends eat and drink there and get their car booted when walking out. Marlows is completely unhelpful despite happily taking our cash earlier in the night. Pure extortion save yourself some trouble go somewhere else.

I come here fairly often since I live close by. I don't really like sports bars but I do like this place. Food is good. I think they have really great appetizers though. Most notably, their shrimp and crab nachos are delicious and the kettle chips with blue cheese are also very good. These two apps alone are worth going for. Black and blue steak salad is good although steak is a bit too dry, the salad dressing is very yummy. The black and blue burger is really good too. The only drawback is the service. It has been consistently bad for a long time now. Servers are verrrry sloooooow and are gone for long periods of time. They slack on refills and are just not around if you need something. The host is nice though. He has noticed the bad/absent service before and corrected the situation. Consequently, I would not recommend this place if you are tight on time, especially around lunch time.

Fun, classy atmosphere and surprisingly good food. Wait staff is very friendly and helpful. Excellent beer selection, focusing on local and regional gems. Try the bacon/blue cheese burger or the fish tacos.

Marlow's has one great advantage to its location in Midtown, the free parking. I find it has been a great meeting place that is convenient for many different parties. The Midtown Marta transit station is nearly across the street and being between Spring and W. Peachtree makes it easy to find. While something remains to be desired with some of the food, it is on par with many similar restaurants and on my most recent visit found what I can call my "favorite." While I have never seen it to be crowded it is certainly never devoid of patrons. The space is comfortable and servers are friendly. The menu is standard fare with salads, burgers, sandwiches, and a few entrees. It's difficult for me to decide sometimes when nothing jumps off the page with creativity. In the past I have had several dishes. The Buffalo Chicken Wrap speaks for itself and the Fish Tacos left me saying "eh." Today I had the Southwestern "Fired Up" Burger, which was very good. While it wasn't exactly as "fired up" as the menu boasts I found a couple jalapenos in there...somewhere.

Decent Neighborhood Restaurant - Clueless on their TV's I have been to this establishment several times and it never fails to disappoint me. The food quality and presentation has always been consistent. The interior is rustic and has a nice tavern feel to it, plus the bar area is comfortable and pleasing. They have a nice array of flat-screens throughout the restaurant. The only thing which is lacking is their clueless ability to broadcast football games on Sunday. Even with a home-game on, they insist on flooding the restaurant with piped on music. I have had to ask their management several time if we could hear the audio for the game. They reluctantly did so after I complained. If your a restaurant with many TV's and NFL Sunday ticket, why would you have music piping? We came their for the purpose of enjoying a Sunday afternoon ball game. Hopefully their management won't be as clueless next season. The hot and sweet wings were chosen as the 1st course appetizer. They were very well cooked, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and flavor was very good. The home-made Gorgonzola dressing was a nice shift from the usual bottled blue cheese dressings you usually receive with wings. My favorite dishes are the Tavern Burgers. I have previously had the Black and Blue Burger with their fresh cut fries. I was surprised how fresh and well put together the burger was. The bread was of he right size and it wasn't overwhelming on the burger. The patty was grilled and is more flavorful than other spots. It must either be the quality of the beef or the way they grill it or both. The Gorgonzola cheese was of a higher quality and of course the fries were not frozen. Another time I had the burger with a side of fresh fried okra, it was definitely fresh. I really enjoyed those as a side dish also. They also have a Sunday Brunch which I look forward to trying someday. The pricing is very competitive for the quality you are receiving and the service was adequate. Hopefully they have improved on their service and the management have gotten a grip on what the TV's are there for.

Decided to give this place another chance after a not-so-good experience several months ago with my partner's business colleagues in from out of town. This place is right at our back door, so convenient, and I like the decor and feeling they are trying to pull off. But I was even more disappointed this time than the first. My partner and I invited a friend we had not seen in a while out to dinner early on a Saturday evening (probably around 6:00) and I suggested we try Marlow's because it is within walking distance. I knew we were in trouble when we entered and had to stand at the host stand for 5 minutes without anyone addressing us, yet there were plenty of empty tables and no one else waiting. Finally a waiter, not a host person, showed up and asked "has anyone greeted you?". I said no and the person seemed agitated, not at me but presumably at the host person who was incognito. We were led to a booth that was near the bar. I asked if she could, instead, seat us away from the bar as we were looking to talk over dinner and catch-up while at the same time still try to take everything in. The response: here are your menus just seat yourselves wherever you like. Huh??? I should have walked out right then and there. Oh why did I stay? I got the feeling that us 'seating ourselves' in his area irritated the waiter. He seemed aloof, as if he would have preferred to not wait on us. And it only got worse when yet again we had a repeat of our last visit in that our appetizer was completely forgotten. In fact, my partner asked the waiter if they really served appetizers and explained our last incident when we ate there. The food was not that great, it seemed rushed and undercooked, although it took forever to get it. The waiter offered to take mine back but I had already waited a terribly long time. And the appetizer coming at the end of the meal was useless and should never have been brought out...as we explained to the waiter. We had a discussion with the manager who offered his apologies. I was comp'd for my entree but nothing else. But there was no saving our business. As much and try to support the businesses in our Midtown neighborhood, we will not be back to Marlow's.

This review is regarding Sunday brunch (for my last visit). This is a great addition to the brunch scene in Midtown. A nicely priced (14.99) all-you-can-eat brunch which included an omlette station. Some of the standards includes Eggs Benedict. After 12:30, you can also get a Bottomless Mimosa. The choices on the buffet included meats, gravy, fruit, salad, and french toast. One concern is the wait staff. I have been in this place on three different occasions in the last month. I had three different servers, and most of my experience has been mediocre. Servers tend to leave and not return for 10-15 minutes at a time. I understand AYCE brunch can be difficult to make money, but you won't make money if you just show up at the table one or twice.

For starters I must say that a Marlow's Tavern is being built around the corner from work and after my Midtown visit, I can't wait for the Tucker location. I loved the layout of this place. Very Chic but not in a pretentious sort of way. The waitress was attentive. At times she seemed a little into her own conversation and visitor. But for the most part she was right on. I especially appreciate her splitting the check. Awesome Amy (or so I named her)! I had a Corona and the Shrimp Tempura. You can never go wrong with a Corona and my favorite 'Shrimp Tempura' has yet to let me down. Thanks Rob for the shot, very tasty and great eye appeal. This place would've received 5 stars but I was a little turned off by the music (as for the rest of the party). The music seemed as though it was more fit for a romantic setting and I really didn't get that vibe here. The music literally ran away the crowd of 6 guys that were there when we arrived, and once the lead singer hit his Mariah Carey high note we all ran away, fingers in ears =) Marlow's Stick to what we know/assume you to be...the neighborhood bar, with good food, good beers, decent service, and a good game on the flat.

Great place, not too expensive. I work up the street, so Marlow's is one of the go-to places for lunch. An easy pick is the fish tacos with jalapeno corn grits. Definitely worth checking out.

I went here with some people from work. The service was SLOOOOOOWWWWWWW. Painfully slow. This was around 4pm so they were not busy. It took more than 15 minutes for someone to come and get our order and then another 10- 15 minutes for our drinks to come. The drinks were not good. I had a pomegranate martini that was so awful, I gave up and got a beer instead. A friend got a dirty martini and she said it sucked too. Two people in our group were charged over $100 on tabs that were about $20. The only good thing about this place was the shrimp and crab nachos, but even they can not help me give this place more than 1 star.

What a pleasant surprise, when I think of a tavern, rustic comes to mind, heavy bland food, not at Marlowe's. Marlowe's food is quality gourmet and there's a long list of specialty drinks. You must try the flatbread appetizer layered with arugula, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, drizzled with just the right salad dressing. I've had the black bean burger and lamb burger, they were excellent! Can't you tell I've been there several times(smile). Gotta have dessert, try the warm apple crisp topped with vanilla ice cream, scrumptious! The service is fast, courteous, always a pleasurable experience. So if you are on a budget and looking for a fast, reasonable, good place to eat, you've found it. I'll be sitting at the bar sipping on my virgin pina colada(LOL). (Did I mention there's free parking in the garage attached to the restaurant and outdoor seating)

Pretty nice new place on West Peachtree. Bar service was impossible - you could have stood there for 20 minutes and not gotten their attention. However, our table service was excellent! Our server was always there refilling our drinks and checking on us. The appetizers we had were also delish, and I'm looking forward to checking it out again. And a word of caution, be careful walking down the aisle to the restrooms/ parking deck - the doors open outward and you may get one in the face!

Went for lunch today with Tiffany H. Greeted by very friendly waitstaff, everyone smiled and said hello, even on my trip to the bathroom. I was very tempted to try the Shrimp & Crab Nachos, but the stomach sometimes fails me, and I had to return to work, so I ordered the Caesar and the Parmesan Truffle Fries. Tiff had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. I liked that our orders came at the same time. I'm generally displeased when I order a salad and an appetizer as my meal and the salad comes out first. The salad was fine. Lettuce wasn't soggy, croutons crisp, couldn't say as much about the fries. Maybe it was the truffle oil, but they were very limp. They needed some spice, too. It was too much grease to be so bland. Tiff really enjoyed her wrap, so I'll go again and try other items. We ordered two of their three dessert flights. Carrot cake and the Brownie. Both came out covered in a caramel sauce. I'm not really big on caramel and I've never heard of it on carrot cake. It seemed unnecessary to me. Our waitress assured me you could order it without for next time. I'll definitely have to try the Key Lime Pie. I would really give this 3.5 stars. I liked the atmosphere, it's close to my job, and free parking deck. Waitress was very nice.

First time at Marlow Tavern today. I ordered the Firecracker Shrimp and Truffled Parmesan Fries. smack...smack...smack (licking fingers)!!!! Oh, so sorry for the noise but this is delicious food!!!! Boy this was some good lunch!!! Will return soon so I can try their other appetizers!!! Oh, I love the spoon door handles as you walk in...nice touch!!!

Atmosphere was great. Excellent service, good beers, but really just satisfactory bar food. The beers on draft were fresh and very unique. I had the steak salad, which was made with fresh ingredients, but not much love. Wifey had the home-made black bean burger, which was really delicious, but the toppings and sides were mediocre. Overall, a good place to meet afterwork for a beer and app. Not a place for a full sit-down dinner.

Michael S.

Marlow's is a great spot for just about any occasion. It is casual enough to be your favorite watering hole as well as elegant enough to take a first date. Actually i would recommend it as a great first date place. Few places can offer this flexibility. I had the lamb wrap which had all kinds of mediterranean goodness in a pita. The atmosphere is great. Although this flexibilty does have its tradeoffs, as towards the later hours, the place will transition more into bar mode. But that's a beautiful thing as far as i am concerned.

Lydell W.

Met some friends there for lunch. it was 8 of us. Don't go with more than 6 people or it's gonna be TIGHT. Service lefta little to be desired. The table was too long for the waiter to reach people. We went there for brunch buffet. Terrible. I think they tried to cook the meat in the buffett warmers. pancakes were nasty. Omelets made fresh of course but thats about all that was good there. And all for $15. i say hell naw, not ever again. Stick to beers/fries. Let your people have Sunday morning off till 11am.

I have been here hundreds of times, it is literally across the street from my office and over the past 3 years I have dined here more than I count, most often for lunch. Now, being an ex-bartender, I know that lunch is the time to hustle and it seems that the bartender at Marlow's doesn't get that notion. I guess my complaints are mostly about service. The food is good for the price (and the guy who said he would pay the same at Steel next door is DREAMING!). But since Lauren the bartender left, it has been awful at the bar. Last week my salad sat in the expo window for 30 minutes, it had a medium steak on it that is supposed to be served warm, but it was ice cold. I sent it back and thankfully the female manager remedied it quickly. This week, I came in and was the first/only bar guest. I ask to change one of the channels from golf (since both were on golf, and I was the only one sitting there) yet the manager essentially told me no "Guys will be coming in to watch golf". I could not believe he would say NO to a) a customer, and b) considering I was the only person at the bar and 6 other TV's in the rest. had golf on. Either way, when I paid the bill, the bartender spilled my water all over me. Thankfully he did apologize. The younger male manager came over with a towel, handed it to me and walked away, while the bartender cleaned the bar and went about his business. Meanwhile I stand there soaked and with a puddle of water below the bar stools. I WAS THE ONE who put the towels on the floor in hopes that the next customer wouldn't bust their ass. I adore Antoine as my bartender, and from now on will only sit at the bar if he is there... otherise I will probably go somewhere else..... Being an ex-bartender, I am very understanding, but certainly expect better service....

What a nice place. I went here for a Barack Obama fundraiser. The waiter who was assigned to us probably had a LOT of people to tend to, but was prompt, courteous and split the checks without asking, and got everything correct! I was impressed! I just had a couple beers and shared a couple appetizers but what I did have, the calamari and the hummus were both tasty. The menu was not terribly extensive but the entrees sounded good and were reasonably priced. Oh! And parking is free.... a huge plus in midtown!

Finally took a trip down the block to check out Marlow's. I've been a bit hesitant to check it out. The sandwich I had -- their frisco club -- chicken breast sandwich w/ bacon,c heese, and shaved apple w/ horseradish aioli -- delicious. They had some cool photographs of ATL on the walls. The atmosphere? It just seemed a bit suburban to me. Like a slice of Alpharetta slapped down in Midtown. The server wasn't the best either, although the manager was eager to please. There are a ton of great restaurants/bars in the area so Marlow's wouldn't be my place for a night on the town, but I might get takeout from the place in the future since it's in the neighborhood

Deanna J.

Four people, one Honda Accord, aimlessly driving around in a slightly starved, post-theater need for food. We almost resorted to late night Chinese food - and then - (drumroll) we happened to pass by Marlow's! Serving real food until 2 a.m.? Seriously? You mean we don't have to eat chicken with broccoli? This was my first time here, and I'd already heard a lot about it from my fellow yelpers - so I had some pretty high expectations. My friends got the firecracker shrimp, and I honestly had to fight the urge to steal the entire plate from them. . . the tempura batter and sauce . . . gooood. Price-wise, it was reasonable - the grilled salmon I had was $13.95, and sandwiches were around $9.95. Options include a good mix of starters, salads, sandwiches and classic entrees. They do some special 'theme drinks' (which I'm a huge sucker for themed things), so I tried the winter spice martini - kinda like an iced chai but with a kick. They also have something I've noticed as a big restaurant trend - mini desserts. We got a mini brownie and key lime pie, which are served in tiny martini glasses. The right amount to satisfy a dessert craving! They really are supermini-sized, just a couple bites - but at two bucks, they're the right thing to satisfy a sweet craving. Though they did get a part of our order mixed up, the waiter was apologetic and handled it well. I even got a high five from my boyfriend for finishing everything (and I do mean everything) on my plate - and finally joining the elusive 'Clean Plate Club.' There was also a cover band playing some pretty classic songs that made me have flashbacks to senior prom or sophomore year spring break. I mean, really. How can hearing 'Brown Eyed Girl' not put you in a good mood? The decor was classic contemporary - think black and white photos and classic lines. What really struck me about Marlow's was the versatility - there was a great mix of people. I can also see this being a good place for lunch, just for a drink or for dinner. Somewhere I'd go out with friends, but somewhere I would also feel comfortable taking my parents. In summary, a couple of shout outs: - Yay, for the kitchen being open until 2 a.m. (Wed. - Sat. only & until 12 a.m. Tues. - Sun.)! You are my new late night default spot, Marlow. - Double Yay for free parking in Midtown!

Cool spot, nice ambience, food is definitely good to go for a late night dinner. I was impressed, the appetizers were mouth watering and eye appealing. However, it was hotter than a witch's twat in there! What was up with that? Can a brother get some AC up in there!? I'll go back to check it out on another day.

Marlow's is a good spot for a quick inexpensive meal and if there is a game on- they have plenty of tvs to watch. i love the chicken panini and their salads. My bf enjoys the burgers and we recently tried the lamb burger- not bad. The staff is friendly- especially the manager (cant remember the name...tall guy with a beard)! If there is a problem, he is quick to fix it. He is also very good at remembering people and will stop and chat.

Marlow's is becoming a common lunch spot for my colleagues down at Tech Square. It has a great atmosphere, the friendliest young staff in the area and a nice diverse menu. I have had two good but not great meals there - one was the burger, I think it was fried not grilled and it was a bit over-hyped by the server. If you are going to claim the best burger in Atlanta, it needs to rock my world and Marlow's burger did not Second meal I had was the steak salad, highly recommended by the server. I thought it was a little light on the Gorgonzola, but the problem was the menu has it listed as a sliced flatiron steak, but it was actually a sliced filet. A cold sliced filet, is just meat to me, with no flavor. A flatiron steak will actually have some marbling and fat to give the meat some flavor; would not have ordered it if I knew it was going to me an alternate cut of meat. Will certainly keep going to Marlow's and will upgrade them with the food is commiserate with a fourth star.

I've been to Marlow's a few times for lunch. The last time I was there, I ordered the Chicken (or maybe it was Salmon) Caesar Salad. It was delish! Also, I appreciate the covered parking and the back door entrance. Prefect for accommodating my parallel parking disability.

Brian C.

I freakin love Marlow's. The atmosphere is sophisticated yet casual-classy and laid back. The interior is really well decorated and has lots of energy. The patio is a great addition to the midtown scene as well, especially when they open up the entire bank of front windows and let the ambiance of the restaurant spill out onto the sidewalk. The menu is full of favorites and some surprises as well. My favorite to date is the prime rib sandwich au jus, its so delicious I can't believe it. They also have a good selection of beers and drinks. All in all its a great place to meet up with friends considering the ample parking in the deck and proximity to the Midtown marta station.

This is a good place to go out on a weekday night to socialize/watch sports. Everything in the restaurant is newish so thats a plus. Their TV's are great and all over the place. I went there for the packers game on the NFL network and it was pretty packed with people watching. Another time I went they had a guy playing acoustic guitar and it was a pretty different atmosphere, but still very good. I wish I knew the guys name. ...oh yeah the food was pretty good and not that expensive. Same thing with the beer.

mike p.

Totally fine place, if unexceptional. Very limited number of beers on tap, unfortunately, but decent can/bottle selection if you're into that (I'm not - hate to get anything not on tap when I go out and have a beer). Corn Jalapeno grits were pretty good. Turkey burger was fine, not a lot of meat, but goat cheese in it was pretty good. Service was good and attentive.

I am going to start off by saying, usually I am not much of Bar food person. You tell me to dine at a bar and I usally run the other way. It was late and couldn't figure out where to go, so we ended up ar Marlows. I was pretty impressed with the decor. It was not a typical bar but a lil more upscale but def had the loudness and feel of a bar. We started off wtih calmari and wings. The calmari was good, not over fried which actually pretty awesome and the wings had just the right amount of sauce that didnt leave your hands sticky but left you craving for some more. I ended up getting the lamb burger - well done. Perfection. It was soo good and the fries were perfect. I sure could not finish the whole tihng..make sure you are pretty much starving when you order this. I topped it off with some white sangaria and the mangos in the sangria was the best part of the whole drink!!!! I was really impressed and would definately go back and dine there :)

Shawn M.

I'm writing this review seperate of my "Party Like It's Monday" review, because I also ordered dinner. The apps that they had for the party were great, but I was famished. I ordered the hummus, which knocked my socks off. It was a little spicy, which I like, though I wish I'd have had a lemon to squeeze over it. It was still phenomenal hummus. Plenty of pita and veggies to complement it. Our server (Darrin) was incredible. Funny, Charismatic, and quick witted. The prices were very reasonable, and the quality of service was what makes me give Marlows a 5 star. Though I'd like to add a + behind it, because they deserve it!

This is a great neighborhood place! With the recent move towards a more pedestrian friendly Atlanta; Marlow's is in walking distance of most any residence in Midtown. Food is unique, tasty and consistent. I especially enjoy the shrimp and crab nachos. Perfect remedy for a nacho craving without all the messiness! Oh, and they are pet friendly! A water bowl and doggie treats sit right outside the front door. Try it out sometime!

I arrived to Atlanta today for my 1st of 2 trips here in 2010. Marlow's Tavern was suggested to me by the front desk staff. I am partial to the name due the fact my grandfather's name is Marlowe. I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Nice decor, attentive staff, reasonably priced meals, extensive menu and a number of unique options. I went with the "soup of the day", a beef and barley paired with the BLT Chicken Salad. Both were delicious! I am in town for 1 week and I can bet you that I will be enjoying at least 1 if not more dinners at this place this week. Worth trying!

There are many things to like about Marlow's. It's in a good location with free parking. It has an interesting menu and nice ambience with seating that is conducive to going there for any combination of appetizers, dinner, dessert, and drinking. The waiters are consistently friendly and helpful, adding to the overall good vibe. I'll start with the food. The menu sports a pretty wide price range, from $8-9 basic burgers to $13 meal-sized salmon salads to $25 steak and rib platters, but if you're not looking to spend much, you don't have to. Usually at places with some expensive entrees, the cheaper ones leave you not quite satisfied, but my proportions have always been generous. Heads-up for vegetarians: the menu is pescatarian-friendly but strict vegetarians will be significantly limited. Here are the specific items I've tried: -- Jambalaya. This is what I got the first time I came here, and it was perfectly good but not stand-out. -- Discrete nachos. They have some strange fancy nacho concept that involves a creamy crab mixture heaped on 6 (or maybe 8) chips arranged ceremoniously on a long rectangular platter. It looks underwhelming, then tastes good, gets boring, and shockingly fills you before you are done. Tasty, but good for sharing and not for using as a substitute for a meal the way your standard nachos might be. -- Salmon BLT salad. I think they removed this from their menu, which is tragic because it is fantastic, but I bet they'd still make it if I asked again, which I will. It's a basic salad with several generous strips of perfectly seared and seasoned salmon. It hits the sweet spot of feeling healthy, filling, and delicious. -- Veggie burger. Their black bean-based house-made veggie burger is good enough that I've gone with non-vegetarians who've ordered and had great things to say about it. -- Bread pudding. I think this was tragically removed from the menu also, but in case it gets reinstated, it is phenomenal. It's not cooked like a standard bread pudding; it's more like slices of baguette soaked in delicious butterscotch-cream sauce. It's easily enough for 2 people and can be shared with more. -- Apple crisp. Also good. Service is also very good. I came one Friday around 9pm with a group of 8 for dessert and drinks, and the place was packed so we ended up sitting around their small waiting area for quite a while. At some point the maitre d' came by with shots on the house for all of us because of the wait. Our server that night was always there when we needed him with drink recommendations. They have plenty of standardly pricey cocktails, but our tab of shots and beers somehow ended up totally reasonable. I'll definitely be back (and will probably petition to get the salmon salad and bread pudding back on the menu).

the food menu is a little short and the entrees are slightly overpriced, but the quality is above average. The best thing about Marlows is the brunch buffet on sunday for 14.99. check it out.

I would have liked to give Marlows a higher rating. I use to enjoy the Sunday $15 all you can eat brunch buffet with made to order omelets and bottomless Mimosas but recently a particular clientele has discovered they can sit and graze over mounds of food for hours on end eating far more then $15 worth of food and causing the kitchen to not be able to keep up with the glutenous demand. Sad, I won't be back.

Sadly, I'll never taste half the bits on their menu. Not for lack of want, rather for too much love of items I've already enjoyed...and being a disgusting creature of habit. The Sizzlin Feta almost made me cry - everything I love and nothing I don't. EVOO. Butter. Thin sliced, crispy bread. Warm feta drizzled with EVOO, spices (basil, is that you?) and a topped with some schmancy tomato compote. My second love: the Frisco Club. Thinly sliced apple. Bacon. Delicious real turkey breasts (none of that deli ca-ca here). Service is always professional, friendly and able to banter, we've never had to wait to sit and it's always just the right amount of busy. The decor is great - lots of windows make the space bright and dark woods and dark paint make it feel upscale. Bonus points for B&W framed images all over the place with macro shots of (mostly) foodie items. I really enjoy Marlow's and I really enjoy that their food is repeatable. I've had the same sanny there at least half a dozen times and it's always perfect.

Marcus R.

my first experiece at Marlow's was really great. Being that i'm used to big cities with plenty of great bars & awesome restaurants. So just like a few of my yelp bretheren I to can say "I Love Marlow's!" Atlanta is quickly becoming more and more like LA. So I went here with some coworkers from the agency. We had a pretty decent sized party & all every could say was wow we've got a great waitress. The food was great (everyone's so that means everything on the menu is good) including the appeitizers. The bar is a good size, the seating is very comfortable plus this place seems to always havesomething going on holidays, special events or otherwise. Get your people together watch a game, get some tasty food, chill relax or go late night. Since there's free parking in the parking garage no worries other than a full stomache of food & drink!

Carol K.

I went to Marlow's for dinner once when it first opened, and it was actually quite nice. It had good lighting, there was an acoustic guitarist and we happened to be in the mood for souped up bar type food. The only thing that I remember about the food though is the gorgonzola dressing that was oh so good. It's more of a place to meet after work if you are in the area for drinks and perhaps some appetizers, but the last time I did that, I got calamari that was a bit funky and made me feel gross soon after. I recently heard someone else complain about some shrimp they ate there, so maybe steer clear of the seafood. A few patrons want to see and be seen there, which is kinda weird, but I still think it's an ok spot to meet for drinks if you like a casual setting that still feels kinda nice.

a cool spot with great patio seating - 420 on tap and a warm feel inside. but it almost is a little too neat and proper to exude its character or soul. maybe I just need to come again and see if it just eluded me

Someone else described this place as a neighborhood bar, and that's a pretty good description. The decor is inviting, not intimidating. The music selection is an mix of the 90s that fits right at home with the 25-40 crowd I've seen here the times I've come by. The food is better than the average pub fare, though I did run into some "engineering" issues with the buffalo chicken wrap. The first half fell apart on me before I could even take a bite. However, a skillful deployment of the knife and fork solved that problem. The buffalo chicken was flavorful, and not geared to nuke your taste buds like some other I've had. The other thing I had was the shrimp tempura. That was served with two sauces, a normal cocktail sauce and an Asian "sweet chili" sauce. The sweet chili sauce was a disappointment, there was hardly any flavor. For the shrimp itself, I found sprinkling a lemon over them helped add flavor. The beer selection is adequate, with a small collection of British based beers on tap (Guinness, Bass etc). The rest are in bottles. I have a concern about the crowd when it comes to school starting up. Its ambiance and atmosphere lends itself to a proto-typical college hangout. The 2 times I checked this place out, was during the winter vacation. I'll be interested to see how different it is when Ga Tech comes back in January. Overall it's a good hangout spot close to midtown residences. It's got more than just Bud, or Coors for a beer selection, and more than just burger/fries for the food selection. Could it be better? yes Does it fulfill a niche? definitely.

I've been here a couple times for lunch. The food is good but the service can be a little uneven. The grilled tilapia tacos are delicious.

I loved Marlow's! The waiter was fantastic, the food was great-- I had the salmon.. They have live music, good live music. It's a super short walk for me, so thats another plus. I'll definitely be back.

I've been to several Marlow's locations in Atlanta, but the Midtown one is probably my favorite by far. Once you enter, you're hit with a dark ambiance, but don't let the dark mahogany and dim lighting scare you into thinking this is a glorified Taco Mac. Sure, it's a little more glitzy, but it's no STATS (thank God). Marlow's has TVs along the upper walls, but the place isn't plastered with them like your usual sports bar. This might be a pro or con to people, depending on your preference. Some people hate not having a clear view of the TVs, but other people hate too many TVs in a restaurant. Just FYI. I love coming here on weeknights for their daily drink specials, like Wednesdays, for their Ladies Night special -- helllllooo wine flights. Yum. Different locations may have different specials though. Food-wise, your safe bets lie mostly with the standard bar fare. Burgers and sandwiches are tasty, and those prices could give T'Mac a run for their money. Prices get a little steep when you venture into the entrees, but at least they give you good non-bar food choices. Share-able foods, like the kettle chips, are fat-tastic as well. If you're not around Midtown, check out the various other locations. Love the Northlake/Tucker, Duluth/Sugarloaf, and Alpharetta locations too!

i used to come here quite often since i work right across the street - the first few times i came here.. the buffalo chicken wrap and the hummus were MONEY... then i started coming here all the time and to my dismay, the buffalo chicken wrap (which is a favorite and beloved by so many of my co-workers) started getting worse and worse!!!!! so after a year or so hiatus, my manager decides to do a to go order from marlow's.. i go pick it up and they give me only half of my food - i have to go back to get the other half.. grrrr and i got the fish tacos with blackened tilapia this time and it was AWFUL.. my coworker got the same thing and all we could do was pick at the fish b/c the rest of the taco was just a big soggy mess that in no shape or form could be picked up with your hands.. so so underwhelmed by them which makes me sad b/c there are so few good to go restaurants around 10th st.

While a bit too pruppie for some tastes, Marlow's delivers in the areas of food, atmosphere, and alcohol. Yet another product of the restaurant dynasty Metz & Associates, Marlow's knows how to please a broad (& big-spending) audience. The live music is mainstream but pleasant, the food is unadventurous but yummy, and the staff is...well...definitely nice to look at. You don't HAVE to pull a huge paycheck to have a good time here, but it helps, especially if your primary interest is attracting the hottie across the bar. The brunch is especially tasty, the late nights can be quite entertaining, and all 3 locations can be counted on for a fun time. If you're in the market for an unchallenging, aesthetically-pleasing evening, Marlow's is your place.

Marlow's is one of my go-to places if I'm in the mood for a really nice mixed drink. The martini list is nothing short of amazing. Not only are there tons of choices to begin with, but they have seasonal specials as well. My all time favorite is definitely the White Chocolate Martini, which is to die for!! The drinks are on the expensive side (8 or 9 bucks), but delicious and strong enough to justify it. I vaguely remember the beer list being pretty limited, but I've never really gone to Marlow's for the beer anyway. I had also never really gone to Marlow's for the food... until this past weekend. Kyle and I split a bowl of the chicken queso soup and the open faced turkey sandwich with a side salad. Southwestern-ish soups are usually pretty hit or miss with me... and I was definitely not in the mood for one, but I gave it a try anyway for the hell of it. I seriously fell in love and had a hard time not eating all of it! Appropriately creamy and cheesy, a little spicy, and full of yummy, tender chicken. I think this soup has actually made me develop a taste for all Southwestern type soups. The turkey sandwich was covered in this fantastic cheddar sauce... Perfect comfort food. The dressing on the salad was really nice too. It's usually pretty empty on the weekdays, but much livelier on the weekends. There's also been live music every time I've gone on a weekend, though the music's not really my style... Yeah, acoustic mid '90s pop rock... But, hell, I'll put up with acoustic Sublime for dinner and a white chocolate martini at midnight!

I will definitely be going back to Marlow's Tavern. We only intended to drop in for dinner, but didn't end up leaving until 12:30. It is exactly the kind of neighborhood joint where you can get a good meal and then camp out and kick back for a few more hours. That's exactly what a "tavern" should be. If there is one word to describe Marlow's, it is "balanced." As with the baby bear, there are a lot of things that are just right: - It was dark enough that it feels like a bar, but still light enough to see both your food and your friends. - The live music is loud enough to be enveloping but not so loud that you can't hold a conversation across a table. - The menu isn't huge, but it has a good variety that goes far past the "fried pub grub" standards and provides real meals at reasonable prices. Our food was really good. While there is a good selection of pub favorites such as cheese fries, hot wings and kettle chips, we came for dinner and weren't disappointed by choosing grilled salmon and grilled chicken ponzu. The salmon was well done and the chicken ponzu was interesting and good. The best part of the meal was the shitake mushroom pot stickers that came with the ponzu. They were a very good variation on the meat pot stickers that are standard fare at Asian restaurants. Yum. Most of the entrees are between $10 and $20, and there is a broad selection of burgers, melts and wraps for under $10. The decor is dark and contemporary. The use of dark stained woods and seating sets a relaxing tone. While there were the typical Midtown collection of flat paneled TVs, they were placed in a way that is much less annoying than in most other restaurants and bars. The ceiling is high enough, and the TVs are placed far enough up the walls, that they don't draw your attention if you're not actively watching them. They just fade into the background. At the same time, though, you won't have to crane your neck if you are watching. There was live music, but the point of the music didn't seem to be that people come for the band -- just that it provide atmosphere. The band was good enough that you'd occasionally pay attention to a song, but the less interesting songs didn't annoy. They also had the sweet spot on volume. It was definitely loud enough that you could enjoy being wrapped in the music, but could still carry on a conversation without straining. Marlow's Tavern is a good addition to Midtown. There is a good enough selection of food, beer (40), wine and liquor to keep most people happy. The atmosphere is inviting and the staff is fun. That makes for a good neighborhood bar.

Gumbo was great. Service is a bit slow, an for some reason the AC was not on so it felt a little too much like being in New Orleans!!!

Talib K.

Sweetwater IPA on tap. That really is the beginning and the end for me. Service is okay, the menu is about what you would expect, the decor is typical mid-town pub, and there is the usual bevy of plasma TVs streaming sports in Hi-Def. The crowd tends to be mid-town yuppy with a few trans-atlanta urbanites sprinkled across the bar and patio. Not much to write home about; but did I mention that they have Sweetwater IPA on tap?

This is my 'home away from home.' Living in Plaza Midtown, we are just an elevator ride away from this welcome addition to our community! Try the Black and Blue Steak Salad and the awesome fries! Always friendly bartenders that remember your name! Tell Jeff, the manager I sent you!

ok so marlow tavern. only been there once and it was quite a bit ago. went in for brunch. so bacially bruch is set up in sort of a buffet style deal. everything are in chaffing dishes with some sternos under to keep it warm. they change it out as it gets low or starts to get old. so that in itself was ok and good to see. also they keep an eye on it and stir or shuffle around the food that should be so that it doesnt get over cooked. Now onto the place itself... marlows is an ok looking place. honestly i find it a little strange at first look.. its kind of like old tavern meets modern bar. they have some old tavern style wooden booths as well as some upscale more sophisticated bar area. so the mix is a bit strange to me... Service as far as i can remember was ok. of course we didnt need to much of it since we stopped in for bruch and pretty much everything except for the drinks were self serve... OH but i do recall having to wait for a water refill... NOT KOOL. The food.. so the food at marlows was decent to say the least. they have quite a decent selection for a brunch menu with a lot of the staples you would be expecting like eggs pancakes bacon sausage etc.. then some that u dont.. such as crab cake benedict. Yes the crab cake benedict seems like it would be amazing.. and i have to say they go pretty quick... they are visually appealing and its a great concept. however my personal opinion of them was EPIC FAIL. wow it was horrible.. i have to say i took one bite and was like NO THANKS..... other than that most of the other food seemed to be ok. they had some decent chicken wings if i remember correctly. So over all i would say its an ok place. was a bit pricy for the semi lack luster bruch of which i attended. however i normally dont do brunch so i dont know how prices in atlanta range. (is was around 15) this place was ok i was there with friends so might have overlooked a lot of things i normally would have been more particular on. personally i dont know if i will go back. but i might give it another shot. probably not for brunch again though.

i love love love Marlow's Tavern. i've never had a bad experience. i typically stay pretty safe with my choices from the menu. The chicken panini is really good and the buffalo chicken wrap! lastnight i decided to get the the chicken queso tortilla soup (something like that). it was really good!!! and their kitchen is open until 2am!! la la la.

Got here late night with a party of around ten. I usually don't order anything too complicated late at night. Lots of potential complications, chefs / cooks are tired, wait staff is ready to leave etc. I ordered a chicken wrap and some of my friends raved about the fish tacos. I passed on that and when our orders came around their fish tacos were too salty, burnt etc. We let the waiter know and he went back to the kitchen to try to get the fish tacos right. The manager came out with dishes of fish tacos, a sincere apology and stated that this round of fish tacos were going to be great. My friends dug in and as promised, the fish tacos were delicious. I tasted one and agreed with them. I will go back there soon and will order the fish tacos on the first go around.

The brunch buffet was pretty darn good... surprise by their crab-cakes..(the egg could be slightly poached rather then hard boiled..) I like breaking the eggs and let it ooze on the English muffin..sadly these eggs were overcooked..but for a 15.99 buffet.. I can't complain about their spread. I was very much satisfied especially having my poor friend and Yelper Leslie E. drive us from Parish (terrible waiting service..read my review..) to Marlow's.. we were starving and the staff was quick to seat and serve us.. if you ever eaten buffet you know how it works, just get seated and go on your way to fill up your plate. The buffet is offered until 3pm, and they have a guy making omelets.. he was very generous with the butter... alittle too generous..it was so rich but I can't complain. The salad bar was a little pathetic no cherry tomatoes.. I was disappointed.. but overall the food was descent for the price. All you can eat?? with a large group of friends, this can be an awesome place to meet up for brunch. Just don't do it every Sunday Brunch.. too much of a good thing will kill you!

Was meeting a buddy across the street Sunday night for drinks and Marlow's seemed like a good place to hang for a few drinks. More upscale than a tavern in the traditional sense but not quite a lounge. Not a big menu to choose from but the stuff they had was good and moderately priced. My buddy and I split some nachos, calamari and firecracker shrimp. Nachos and squid were ok, and the shrimp was better than average. Would've just given three stars but our service was excellent.

Deanna C.

Props to Marlow's for having Strongbow beer!-my 2nd favorite. But the Tavern in the name is misleading, I think. It's a notch above what you would think a Tavern is. I also wouldn't call it a pub. Their menu is a little more sophisticated. No chips and salsa or queso. Instead they have queso soup and other soups of the day. Instead of nachos, you have shrimp and crab "nachos." Instead of dip, you have hummus...not your ordinary tavern menu..but all pretty tasty. The only thing I wouldn't order is the salad. I've had better in Midtown. There is a parking garage, but it's hidden around the corner. Also, try to sit in Darrin's wait area. He's the est!

I have been for drinks and appetizers after work and thought the food and service pretty good. Went for lunch today, and was utterly unimpressed. We were told that that the lunch menu is new- it is nothing special. I got a chicken wrap- the tortilla had ridges on it to look like it had been pressed in a panini machine- but I am 99% sure that they were fake lines- made in a factory. My friends "panin" likewise had ridges on the bread but sure did not look like it had been toasted in a panini maker. What will Sysco think of next? Our food took a long time to come, and then our server started taking plates away while several of us had just gotten started. My plate was actually taken while I had my fork in my mouth! So, with so many other places in the neighborhood for lunch, probably not again.

I have been here a few times now - once for a weekday lunch and then again for lunch on New Year's Day and finally once for brunch ( I have yet to go there in the evening). Each time, the food was very good and the menu was pretty diverse. I tried the fish tacos, which were nice enough, and the New England clam chowder on my first visit. The clam chowder was the soup du jour ("it's the soup of the day") and it was really good. I don't know if they always have it on Fridays but I want to go back when they have it again. On my New Year's Day visit, I have to admit Marlow's was a second choice to a more crowded brunch spot (I wanted comfort food but I really needed just any food so we went where we could get in right away). I ordered the Shrimp & Crab "Nacho" Plate and the jalapeno corn grits. It was definitely comfort food with a nice spicy kick. The "Nacho" Plate is not really a plate of nachos (as was explained to me) but flat breads arranged nicely on a plate an covered with cheese, seafood and jalapenos - very good. The jalapeno cheese grits were heavenly. I could definitely make a meal out of clam chowder and grits at Marlow's! I also had a really good Bloody Mary on that visit and my friend had a big cup of coffee with cream, which was readily refilled and which he really enjoyed. He ordered the special of the day on New Year's Day which was a spot-on plate of honey-baked ham, greens, black-eyed peas and cornbread which I am sure will bring him much luck in the New Year! For Sunday brunch, I had a very good breakfast burrito in which they happily omitted the chorizo sausage for me. It comes with a sweet and spicy jalapeno sauce and had lots of goat cheese, asparagus, eggs and other veggies. Without the chorizo, it lost some of its spiciness but it was still very good. I tried my friend's French toast, which was huge, and it was good, too. When we could finally get our Bloody Marys at exactly 12:30 PM on Sunday, they were excellent again, as well (we pre-ordered and got them as soon as was legally possible). I live near enough to Marlow's to walk but, even so, I can greatly appreciate the plentiful free parking they have. It makes it such an easy place for meeting people who cannot walk there. I am glad Marlow's is in my neighborhood : ) UPDATE: Recently tried the buffalo chicken wrap (grilled) and it was really good. I devoured it - clean plate club!

Good food, friendly staff, good music, lots of TVs...due to Comcast's continued incompetence, I had to find a place with free wi-fi and TVs to watch Duke basketball. Staff was happy to sit us near an outlet so I could use my laptop, and they put the Duke game on for us. Not the healthiest menu I've ever seen, but the Fish Tacos were delicious as was the fried okra. Apple Crisp was good as well.

Third trip to Marlow's for lunch yesterday. It was pretty packed and service was kind slow. We were in a group of six. We had their hummus and warmed pita bread appetizer. I really liked their hummus. One of my colleagues had to ask twice for mustard for his bison burger. I had a Monterrey Jack Chicken Salad. Unfortunately, they gave my order to someone else so I had to wait a while after everyone else was served. I was somewhat disappointed because the salad I was served did not look anything like the one I saw on their website. "Grilled chicken, crisp romaine, tomato, red onion, cucumber, in a warm tortilla bowl with pepper jack cheese, toasted cashews and chipotle vinaigrette." They served me the salad without the tortilla bowl. Instead, the tortilla flakes on top of the salad. The chipotle vinaigrette was light and tangy. The food was still OK. The salad was good but nothing spectacular. --------------------------------------------------Â--------------------------------------------- At this point, I don't see Marlow's rating moving much. My fourth trip back and I had a buffalo chicken wrap. Not bad but nothing spectacular. The only reason I come back now is because it is close to work, but I might cut back on Marlow's because its busy during lunch which makes the service is a little slow.

I hosted a birthday here for a group of 12 last Saturday and they did a SUPERB job! Ian and Jeff were the managers on duty and our server (forgot her name but she has a look alike working there as well!). All orders were taken timely, food came out hot, the food was yummmy and the drinks were flowing (could have been just a bit stronger though). The chicken meal was great and the salmon was the group's most popular dish. Definitely try the shrimp appetizer. We didn't have dessert as we had brought an awesome cake in but I am sure they have great stuff. I would recommend sitting at the table right where the patio starts. It was perfect weather. They were even good with separate checks and made sure the couples ended up on the same one and the others got their individual checks. I have zero complaints and 100 praises for this new spot I have discovered and look forward to returning soon. Thanks guys for making it perfect!

Went for a drink late night. I liked the overall atmosphere, but there was a strange phenomenon going on where the restaurant really wasn't crowded at all, but everyone in there was standing right by the bar, so it was very difficult to get up there to get a drink or to move around generally. Also, I think like 3 glasses were dropped while I was there-- come on people, learn to hold your liquor! I'll try it again. I wonder if they have TVs for college football???

Mark W.

Stopped by Marlow's with some friends from Macon and their SIX kids after attending an event at GA Tech. With that said, wanted someplace easy to park since we were in three different cars and they had a kids menu. The server was great while waiting on us at one table an the kids at another table. Everyone enjoyed their meals without any fuss since there were so many of us.

One thing I really liked about this place as soon as I walked in was the warm interior. And it wasn't just the decor. There was a very positive, gregarious, "Cheers" kinda vibe to the place on this sunday night when I visited. maybe it had to do w/ the Olympics closing ceremonies goin on?? the Canadians are rubbing off on us!:) nah, I think this place just knows what it's doing. We sat ourselves (now I will say we were confused about how to get seated b/c noone was at the entry) at one of the tall tables near the bar and was energetically greeted by the waiter taking our drink orders right away and gave us menus. Liked that. It made me forget the awkwardness of seating ourselves. Since it was my first time here, I ordered their tavern burger. Quite thick and tasty. it was so filling I could only eat a half tho. the fries could be better. I'd love to see them change to shoe-string fries--love skinny fries! or better yet, sweet potatoe fries! and would love to see them filter their water too. I think I binged on coke b/c my water tasted "tappy". (I need all the help I can get to make me drink more H20!) oh, and their flatbread was pretty delish. Overall, I think i was most impressed w/ the atmosphere and the service that night. at one point, when the food runner brought us our food, his sleeve touched the straw in my coke (which I didn't even notice b/c I was staring at my burger, nor would I be that petty to care) and he immediately brought me another straw wrapped in a napkin. that's what I call 5-star service!! I'll be back to this place to try their other yummy dishes!

A staple for a socialite in Midtown. I dont care who you are, its a reliable dinner and brunch option. Its hard to find both in the same place. I love the dinners at all Marlow's locations (been to 3) but love this one now ever since I moved ITP. They have a solid menu and strong drinks if you know how to ask. The atmosphere is homely and comfortable but not so much you feel like your having a regular joe night out. Its as unpretentious as homely can get I guess is the best way to put it. The nights are solid and great but the brunch is not one to miss. My friends and I were loyal every sunday for many months. The buffet is top notch. A great mix of breakfast and lunch that can be so hard for some "claimed" brunch establishments but here it all flowed with little effort it would seem. over all the food is great if not superb. The scene is hot and the people are too. Its a great way to start the evening or cure a hangover sunday morning. Check it out and get the brunch, if it peaks your interest come back for dinner. Im sure it will please

Checked out Marlows' $14.99 Brunch Buffett this past Sunday and it's pretty good. The selection included Eggs Benedict on Crabcakes, Blueberry Sausages, Jalepeno Cheese Grits, an omlette station and a couple of wierd items like Vegetable Stir-Fry and Chicken Penne pasta. I guess the last couple of dishes were for the lunch crowd. They also open pretty early (around 10am) which is handy too.

Joanne B.

Regularly coming here for years..great place to hang out and the food was pretty good. Last three times I came the bar staff was just not the same. Usually friendly they ignore you a bit. Takes a long time for service. Also, my soup was awful they also got rid of my chopped salad which was superior to the other salad options. The place I loved is still in there just needs to get everyone back on same page.

Charice W.

I went here today with 2 friends for Sunday brunch...after a long week I decided bottomless mimosas were in order. This was my first time ever at Marlow's and ultimately I was impressed. We got there a little before 12 and only had to wait about 20 minutes but it was already starting to get packed. The only reason why I knocked a couple of stars off is because the buffet was constantly out of food! They were super slow replenishing it and that irked my very hungry nerves. Once I did get the food though it was delish. I tried just about everything eventually and it was all good. Our waiter (Mike) was great and kept the mimosas flowing buuut they were just ok. All in all I would definitely return but not after trying out some other brunch spots around the city.

The kid's mac n' cheese is some of the best in all of midtown. And NO they won't look at you funny when you order it because so many do! The brother of the manager always orders a double batch, hammered. Great people watching. Seasonal menu is always better than the regular menu. I want the giant bottle of Silver Oak up on the window sill but its a bit pricey...

Kristin K.

Got seated pretty quickly in the lunchtime rush. Decent sized space with a generous bar area. They also have outdoor seating. Menu is pretty much what you'd expect for a tavern. I was eying the pecan encrusted chicken salad but decided to be naughty and went for the burger. I mean, it is a tavern after all; I need to judge this burger/fry combo. Ordered the burger medium well but it definitely came well done and was a little on the dry side. My bf ordered his medium and with pepper jack cheese, and neither materialized on his plate. Overall, not a bad burger though. The fries were excellent. What bumped up this review to an extra star was the fact that the waitress was super friendly and both she and the hostess checked on us right away to ask how everything was, and they actually appeared to care. I intend to go back and check out that tempting salad and a drink or two.

Went here to simply watch the Ohio state game. Did not think about eating but then got there and ordered the shrimp and crab nachos which were amazing! Also ordered the famous hummus w/ veggies and no bread and it was great too, we were given so much veggies that we ordered more hummus for only 3 bucks! I had the ahi tuna salad for main entree and they split it for two since me and my boyfriend were sharing which was also GREAT. All around great and awesome service.

Michelle B.

Went here tonight specifically for the Mardi Gras menu and wasn't disappointed. Our bartender Matt was helpful and enthusiastic (he shares my love of Carnivale and all things NOLA) so he led us in the right direction. They've got standards (gumbo, jambalaya) but the crawfish fondue hit the right spot. So did the special burger, topped with andouille and crawfish, please the palate. Put me in the right spot to celebrate the day. Ok, the Hurricane helped too.

I've been to this Marlow's Tavern a handful of times, usually before or after going across the bridge to Alexander Memorial Coliseum for a Georgia Tech men's basketball game. I've been to this location for both lunch and dinner and each time, whether it's the weekend or a weekday, the restaurant is slammed. This is a popular hangout. There are six other Marlow's Tavern locations in metro Atlanta. The interior of Marlow's is a bit more upscale and modern than a traditional tavern or pub. The kitchen is open and there is a variety of seating, ranging from high top communal tables near the bar to large booths on the opposite side of the restaurant. The decor is nice and overall, there's a laid back vibe. There are plenty of flat panel TV displays mounted near the ceilings around you, which is a great thing for sports fans. You can definitely come here to catch a game. On nice days, the wall of windows facing the patio on West Peachtree are folded upwards like an accordion, opening the restaurant up to the beautiful weather. The menu offers typical bar and tavern food: appetizers (such as fries, chips and dip, wings, and hummus), salads, sandwiches and wraps, and burgers. They also offer entrees such as meatloaf, trout, and short ribs, although there isn't anything too unique or special. Prices are fairly reasonable. The presentation of the food is nicer and more creative than a typical bar. I've always enjoyed the burgers here, which are cooked and customized to order. My only gripe is I've had pretty soggy buns come out on the burgers here. Burger plates usually come with a side of fries, but you can substitute any number of sides if you don't want fries. You can swap in healthier options such as salads and fruit, which is what I've done in the past. A good one to try, though not necessarily healthy, is the fried okra. They batter and fry their okra whole. The pieces come out big, fluffy, and crispy. Yum. The service has always been very good and I've never had any issues. You can park for free in the building's parking deck. That's always a plus in this area of town.

This place is great. The seafood nachos are delicious, but greasy. I had a steak and also the fish tacos. The S'mores dessert was amazing. After the first visit, my friend and I returned for a second time within a week. :) Service was also great! We will be going back even though we try to visit different restaurants. Free parking in midtown is also a major plus.

I visited the bar once, but I usually go for the sunday brunch buffet. That sunday brunch buffet, it will surprise you . It's not like an all inclusive brunch buffet (like a cruise) but the options are pretty good. I usually just hit up the biscuits and gravy, omelette station, the stuffed french toast. There are plenty of other options from grits to a salmon pasta dish. Usually service is pretty good once you can get a table and the servers are kind. A big plus is the garage attached to the building which offers free parking.

I've been here a couple of times for happy hour because it's close to the office & one of our group's hotels. It gets really busy at happy hour times. Really busy. We've ended up eating most of the appetizers menu, but I haven't eaten dinner there so I can't comment on that. I did try the Marlow's "BLT" Bloody Mary and I wasn't impressed. It didn't taste all that bacon-y to me. As for food, the truffle fries are small to an order but very good. The Kettle chips are OMG good, but I do love the blue cheese and if you don't, well, you won't like them much. They can get messy, but I'll sacrifice neatness for the deliciousness of the cheese. Calamari is good but not the best I've had. The hummus is good and I love that it comes with a stack of veggies with it. Asparagus Fries are a bit on the greasy side, but that could be because we let them sit too long. Goat Cheese "French Toast" was OMG good too - we liked them so much we ordered a second round. It's only 4 pieces so it's hard to split with a large group. We'll come back, some for the convenience and some for the Goat Cheese French toast, because holy cow, that goat cheese-y french toasty delight is the stuff dreams are made of.

I think I ate a bomb sandwich a few minutes ago? I want to say it was a...? Prime rib French dip! Well, I've been drinking so let's be honest, you shouldn't base your opinion of this place based on this review. The drinks are shit. Pretty sure I just drank a cup of ice that was supposed to be a Moscow mule. The beer is good but isn't it everywhere? The waitress was cool. So let's recap: Prime rib Sandwich is good. Drinks are shit. Beer is good. Waitress it good. Atmosphere is...a lot of old people. Overall...5 stars!!! Yelp!

I'm giving this place 2 stars because our waitress was a sweetie. I ordered a Double Cheeseburger and it wasn't good at all. I told the waitress I wanted it done, but not charred and sure enough it was charred. I ate the parts I didn't pick off and it lacked flavor. The tea I had was very weak as well. I didn't know what to expect from this place. I was in the neighborhood and decided to stop by since I had not ate all day. The restaurant itself is nice, as well as the patio. The only thing I liked were the fries.

Well, if I got a waitor or waitress, that'd be a good start. I know the food is decent enough, but to find good service is a gem that always doesn't happen here. I've been here many times to know the service is very so-so. If you have time to spare, enjoy. If you want to be served in a reasonable timeframe, skip this place because the food is not so signature that it's a must go to.

Absolutely wonderful. Clean, professional, we'll set up tavern. The cocktails are made just right with lots of options. The food is made to your preference. This place is highly recommended for a good time and great food.

Looking for a spot to grab a bite, fire up my laptop and catch a few games before heading out of town, I stumbled upon Marlow's Tavern shortly after checking out of my hotel, The setup worked for me; spacious and clean yet still a bit cozy. I was quickly greeted and escorted to a booth where I was promptly approached by Corey, my awesome server. He was attentive, pleasant and friendly without being overbearing or disruptive. I swear, I must have drank an entire liter of Diet Coke thanks to Corey, Whenever my Diet Coke was even running relatively low, I would turn around and Corey had already replaced it with a fresh one. I ordered the two mini sliders from the Kid's Menu and a side of parmesan truffle fries and within 15 minutes or so, these bad boys were placed directly in front of me. The fries were so insanely delicious that I felt my eyes cross after tasting the first one. I know that may not sound very sexy, but think of it as a very mild food orgasm. Just, with crossed eyes, instead of curled toes. I was also really pleased to find that the mini burgers were small, but still hefty enough to completely fill me up. I guess everything *is* bigger in the south!

Fabulous starters and excellent fish tacos. Service was friendly and prompt. Waitress was very knowledgable about the menu and made some genuine recommendations. I highly recommend this place. I am just visiting Atlanta and am glad to have stopped by here.

I am a recent convert to Marlow's. This is my go-to spot for late night dining in the city. The burgers here are the best I've had in Atlanta (and I've had plenty!). Why? -When you say medium rare, it arrives medium rare. [other reviewers here report ordering medium results in well done, but we haven't experienced that in our 3 visits here] -Big meaty portion -Fresh vine-ripened tomato, none of that grainy orange stuff you get everywhere else -Good variety of delicious cheese options -Rotating side dishes that surprise me. In addition to their salty-sweet fries, their batter-fried whole okra and deep fried mac n' cheese balls were delicious and crispy. -Great value The service has always been good, and there's never trouble getting a table later in the evening.

We were there on a Friday during prime dinner time. The restaurant was hopping! We ordered the calamari and bourbon cocktails to start. My husband got the rib special and I got one of the burgers. We were not disappointed. Our server was perfect, even gave us a few recommendations for places to have after dinner drinks. I'll definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone!

Mark P.

Went here for an evening meal as reviews were generally good. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. Whilst the service was good the food wasn't. Steak was dry and chips tasted like they had been cooked, cooled, cooked again and left on the side for a while. I would not eat here again.

What a horrendous experience. First off, it's gonna take me a while to type this up, cause I have to keep running to the bathroom every two minutes. I feel like John Hurt in Alien except it isn't ripping out of my chest cavity. At this moment, I almost wish it was. The good - free parking in lot behind the restaurant. Decor is fine for a dark dive college bar. The drinks were okay in taste. The servers are friendly and courteous and try their best. But unfortunately for them, you can't polish a turd. The bad - Notice how short the good list was? Let's start with the bartenders. They were at best half full on a weekday night when I went, which of course means HALF EMPTY. There were 2 or 3 bartenders and the bar was not slammed. If that is what they would say, they don't know what slammed is. I ordered a gin job. I started playing on my iPhone, as I was alone, and suddenly as my battery was dying, realized I had not gotten my drink. Guys who ordered drinks next to me and behind me both got served. I asked about it, and a busboy told me that the bar was slammed. When I pointed out the other tables had gotten their drinks ahead of me, he simply said if he could go behind the bar and make the drink he would. The only drink I got quickly all night was the draught beer. The house sangria and a vodka martini took long, as well. Here's a side story that doesn't involve me before I get back to me. The menu literally has a tongue in cheek list on the back called HOUSE RULES, and number two says "the customer is almost always right... okay, ALWAYS". Yet, I heard a waitress bring three credit cards for a group's table and heard the manager (sporting a George Michael's trim beard) tell her, "ONE CARD PER TABLE!" Guess the customer has very little chance of being right ALWAYS. Back to moi. I started with an appetizer, and I really think this was the stomach murdering Alien culprit. The shrimp and lobster drip with toasted pita bread. Just typing it made my head swoon sickly. It tasted okay, but not amazing. I would say mediocre and something I wouldn't order again if I had ever gone back. I then ordered the Rustic Grilled Cheese with bacon with fries. Fries were just fine. The sandwich, not so much. The bread is heavily coated in a chili flake powder before cooking. It says this, and while it sounded good, it was way too over powering. Then there is the fact that there was only one piece of limp bacon going through the middle of each side of the sandwich. The other 2/3's had NO BACON on either side of either side of the sandwich. LAME! But worst of all was the cheese combination. I bit into the first bite and was completely confused by the flavor combination. It did not work at all. And the cheese dripping out was already congealed fully on the plate, which means the sandwich was dying in the window for some reason (waiting on fries or an overly busy waitress; I can't tell you. All I know is the cheese was congealed to the plate and the fries near it. When it was put down on my table.) I was going to simply label the place mediocre, but the immense rectal pain I have experienced since I got home has to bring it down as far as it can go. Something was rotten in the State of Denmark and now something is rotten in the state of my colon.

I have always had a pleasant experience at Marlow's and I've been a regular visitor at this location for a couple years now. The waitstaff is well-trained. Every server I've had is always prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. I've never had to wait too long for anything and the food has always tasted great. (I haven't had a single complaint about any of my food at Marlow's.) Secret tip: If it says "Shocktop" on the beer list, it's actually Blue Moon that you will get. They may have changed the menu since, but just a head's up. Sunday Brunch: Their brunch buffet and bottomless mimosas are great, but if you don't want to wait an hour to be seated, get there early. It's always packed at brunch time! Try the shrimp and crab nachos--they're a winner. Super friendly, super fast, super delicious. They always take good care of you at Marlow's.

Get the garlic fries. You will not regret it. The place is basically an upscale version of Manual's Tavern, within walking distance of Tech campus. The service is above average and the staff seems to care about the experience.

The wife and I had a great experience here. Our server was Ricky. A real nice, welcoming and friendly guy who is also very knowledgeable on the menu. The wife and I shared a plate of Buffalo wings for a starter. Now, we always eat wings, we have eaten wings all over Atlanta, these wings were definitely the best Buffalo wings we've had in the city. The blue cheese dip you get with them was their home made recipe and it was also really good. Our main courses were really good too, I had the Steak Frites, medium well (see picture) and my wife had had the Blackened fish Tacos. They looked awesome and my wife thoroughly enjoyed them. Ricky was very good in making sure we were OK and our food was good, he helped me decide what to get as I'd never tried Bison before, and they apparently do an awesome Bison Burger, I will be trying that the next time I go.

I loved this place, even though my bf was not impressed. We sat at the bar, but their seating areas are really nice too. There are plenty of tv's around to watch whatever sporting event tickles your fancy. The bartender was great! She was super helpful in helping us decide on drinks and an entree. We even got a chance to sample the gumbo before committing to it. It was decent. I don't believe in eating cajun food when not in Louisiana. It's just not the same. I ordered the fish tacos with a side of grit cakes. The tacos were very light and refreshing. Different from any fish tacos I've ever tasted before. The grit cake was too heavy to be paired with the tacos, so I didn't like them. My cocktail was a blueberry something, and it was amazing!!! I would have had 3 or 4 if I had more time to relax. Overall seems like a cool place. It was slow when we went. I will definitely be back soon.

Wow! I'm actually really impressed by Marlow's. I'm surprised at myself that I'm giving a standard tavern a 5-star review, but the experience and food really was incredible. Our waiter was amazing, so attentive and on-top-of-it. I ordered the grilled chicken panini, which was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I know, you're thinking, "Seriously, give me a break." But this went above and beyond the standard chicken panini - fresh tomatoes, perfect balance of mozzarella, deliciously-seasoned chicken, spinach, and a melty mayo to top it off. The bread itself was crispy and chewy in all the right places. The fries that came with it were incredible. I almost feel like I've smoked something I shouldn't while writing this review, because I'm craving that panini again right now, as though it's four inches away from my face. It's that good. Oh, right, back to the restaurant. The parking situation isn't great, so come prepared for that. But the atmosphere is a casual tavern environment (love) and the noise level is about what you'd expect. The tipping point here is really the food. You. Must. Try. It.

It was a very very cold Saturday evening in Atlanta. The temperature was 32 degrees with wispy winds lifting the tails of our coats. The Atlanta parking meter machines were working at a level to be expected. It took multiple attempts to navigate through the meter machines while freezing outside of Marlows. However once we were finally inside, the mood took an upswing. We started off with an appetizer. Now, I have been to Marlows before and have enjoyed their food but noticed something new on the menu. "Goat Cheese French Toast" Interesting! I'm all about new things so we tried it. The goat cheese French toast is to die for! It literally melts in your mouth on contact. It was arranged on a long plate with six wedge pieces filled with goat cheese, tomato bacon jam, and syrup. This made the night and you have to try it. For my main course I ordered the lettuce wrap burger. It is a good choice for you out there who prefer low carb diets. I tried it because I was skeptical that it could hold itself together wrapped around a burger and toppings. It did the trick and it also did not leave a heavy feeling in my stomach typical of a traditional burger. The only downside to the experience was that their espresso machine was not functioning. That would have been the ideal drink before braving the cold temperatures lingering outside of the door. Our bartender "Megan" did an excellent job serving us as we'll as accurately describing the menu and food we ordered. Kudos to her.

Had a late dinner here after poker at the Vortex. Glad that they serve food late. I had always wanted to try this place out and was so happy to get the chance. I ordered a Tavern burger. It was just the right size and VERY tasty. One of my happier burger experiences. The people next to us were commenting on how good they thought our burgers looked. Thankfully they tasted as good as they looked. I got a salad instead of fries cause I was trying to be healthy. The salad was good. But I do want to try out their fries sometime. I ordered a vodka cranberry which was large and made very well. I was very happy about that, as well. Nice service staff. I can't wait to try it out again.

No question I'd be ordering a burger based on the reviews - plus it'd been a while since I had a burger, I was craving fries, and my friend said the burgers were the best thing on the menu. I'd been to the Marlow's in Vinings and gotten a salad (poorly executed & disappointing "Black & Blue Steak Salad") so I knew better this time. I got the "Black & Blue Burger" which had Gorgonzola & Applewood smoked bacon on a toasted sesame kaiser roll ($10). Comes with fries. I ordered it "medium well" and my burger was pretty charred. After picking off the charred parts, the burger tasted pretty good. Would've made a note to self to order "medium" next time except my friend with the "medium" burger said his was more rare than he expected. Guess that means I'll have to ask for something between "medium" & "medium-well" next time. Fries were a little disappointing - they looked like they might have stayed in the fryer too long :( Otherwise service was friendly. Great atmosphere. FREE parking garage. I'd still recommend getting the burgers - but maybe use descriptive words about how you want your burger done :)

Monika D.

I have very many fond memories of Marlow's, the food was decent, noise level bearable, and the bar was pretty well stocked of craft beers, palatable wines, and okay mixed drinks. My only reason as to why I will not be dining here is they took the Sage Turkey Truffle Meatloaf off the menu!!! By far the best dish they served. Sure the rest of the menu is good, but nothing really sings out with originality. In case I was starving and on deaths door from thirst I would go, but I would not go out of my y to eat here when there are so many diverse and creative eateries in the Midtown area.

Sheri C.

Had my first Marlow's experience last night for a football game. Food was great; atmosphere was great. Good times. Didn't know about the free parking, but there was ample street parking ($2/hr, max 4 hours). Service was great, but one of the group members also frequents there almost daily (I think!)... The reason for missing a star is because I had problems with the drinks; I don't like to taste the liquor in drinks, and when I ordered the "mixed" drinks they were pretty clear (i.e. STRONG). Sent them back, and finally ordered off the menu with Patrick (BTW, Patrick is AWESOME!). Got my drink concoctions fixed, and all was right in my world! :) At any rate, their apple crisp is delish, and the staff are great. Check it out!

A new staple in Midtown Dining. Located on the street level of Plaza Midtown Residential Condo Building, you always feel welcome and walk in knowing that your favorite sports team will be on at least one of the many flat screen TVs around the restaurant. I never get tired of the variety of fare here even though I come here once a week and live directly above. Weekend Brunch is a favorite here with a hot and cold buffet and bottomless mimosas. Enjoy your first of many trips here.

I went here for a quick bite before the Elite event and I wasn't disappointed. I parked myself at the bar and was quickly served by the barkeep. I opted for the sampler platter which was hummus, firecracker shrimp, and nachos. It came out fairly quickly, which was nice. The bartender also called me "sweetie" which made the Southern girl with a penchant for using pet names with complete strangers in me very happy. The hummus was some of the best I've had and I'm super picky with hummus. I knew it was real because I bit into a piece of chickpea. Good times. The shrimp was equally good with a nice kick to it. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the nachos. Of course, two out of three isn't bad at all. The hummus and shrimp were definitely enough to keep me happy. It also wasn't a bad price for the area. I doubt you could get out of most places for $17 with tip for dinner. I'd definitely go back.

We stayed in Atlanta for 10 days and wanted to try a bunch of new places to eat, but ended up going to Marlow's 5 times. Food and service were both great all the times we went. Highly recommend the asparagus fries appetizer, my cousin ate the buffalo chicken wrap multiple times. Can't wait to go back to Marlow's next year.

I have gone here regularly since this location opened (I started my Marlow's obsession with their first location in Alpharetta when IT opened) and love it. The people are wonderful. The folks who have worked there for years know me, and know I almost always order the steak salad...in fact "Steak Salad" is my nickname. :) I have converted many of my friends and my boyfriend to steak salad addicts as well. I've tried many other items over the years and they're all wonderful. The fries are fabulous, and the creme brulee is to die for. The bartenders are fabulous (Larry and Ashley have been around forever and are like old friends!). When I'm alone or eating with my boyfriend, I always eat at the bar because they're so friendly and fun. This place is my home away from home.

Sarah O.

The best thing about this Marlow's location is the scene - very attractive people. I went for Sunday brunch showed up around 12 and was very lucky to get seated (I saw some people waiting for what seemed to be an hour). The brunch had slim pickings - no frills- and they ran out of desserts. They had sausage, bacon, pancakes, waffles, an omelette station, a few random salad ingredients, biscuits and gravy. The best dish by far was the salmon pasta salad. Bottomless mimosas came regularly in carafes which was nice but went quickly at a table of 6. Staff was very friendly.

Geoff G.

Went here on a business lunch with some colleagues on a suggestion. The place has a very nice atmosphere, lots of young professional types, active bar, dark wood, B&W photos on the wall...nice style. Parmesan truffle fries for an app. Lots of sliced parmesan and truffle oil on freshly prepared, rough-cut fries. Steak salad w shaved onion and mixed greens for the entree. This was bigger than it looked, and had a decent amount of properly cooked (medium) very tender steak. Fish tacos looked to be Tilapia with a kind of Cajun blackening and a black bean and corn relish. Two served on the entree...Not as good as my salad. I would eat here again.

Veronica D.

Great prime rib sandwich. My son did not like the pizza and he loves pizza but he did eat half my sandwich. Poor service. I have a hungry toddler I asked for crackers anything to get him happy so others could enjoy their dinners but no went to the bar and got bar fruit to hold him till he got food. Plus just cause I'm not drinking and it's me and a baby the waiter could of come over a couple times to check on us.

Stephen R.

Good restaurant & bar with reasonable prices and a typical menu: burgers, sandwiches, salads, and a few more interesting items. Big plus for this Midtown restaurant is free garage parking, is shared with Publix and other businesses, accessible from 8th St. You can park right near the back door of Marlow's.

Marlow's is the definition of A-OK: I really don't have any complaints, but there's nothing about the spot that really urges me to come back. The beer list is solid, the food is better than your average bar fare, and the service is super friendly. On my most recent visit, I had a grilled chicken sandwich that wasn't exemplary but totally fit the bill. I asked for a side of asparagus and received about 7 measly little spears, they looked pretty pathetic on my plate. The truffle fries were certainly tastier, but not so good for my waistline. The service, however, is where I feel that Marlow's really shines. A manager came by to check on us, everyone made sure to say goodbye when we left, and our server was on the ball and polite enough to let us catch up and provided refills for a much longer period than there was food on the table.

I have been here a few times and like the atmosphere. It's in a convenient location and there is plenty of free covered parking available, which is a rarity in the city. On my last visit I had the California Steak Wrap. The steak pieces were medium rare, just the way I like although there was gristle on a couple of pieces which I tossed aside. The fresh avocado and chipotle vinaigrette were a nice blend with the steak, tomato, onion and lettuce. I ordered handcut fries as my side and received a generous portion. They were served hot, as they should be. The service was excellent, and the food was good but nothing to rave about. The location, atmosphere and service of this location earns Marlows four stars, but the food, in my opinion, brings it down to three.

Alison B.

Enjoyed a few cocktails here with a few other yelpers (Gretchen O., Adam R. and Angela Y.) before heading out to the Twisted Taco Halloween party and had a great time! Cat the bartender was very friendly and mixed a well crafted drink. Her timing was spot on and we never waited more than a moment or two for a drink. Sampled the truffle fries - quite hot, crispy and appropriately salty with an essence of truffle that was happily not overpowering as I am very sensitive to the scent (but not taste) of truffles. The hummus platter was excellent- garlicky and smooth hummus, plenty of grilled pita points which were chewy and delicious as well as some vegetables as a nod to a healthier bar snack option!

Christine Y.

Nicer inside than the typical bar/restaurant. Delicious chicken Caprese salad and buffalo chicken wrap. My side salad had rather huge chunks of lettuce - had to cut them up with my knife to eat it, which is unusual. Ideal and popular work lunch spot, with an ideal location.

Henrik C.

This is entirely a review of their Sunday Brunch. The place is neat and centrally located with parking in the enclosing structure. So all good news. We went there for Sunday brunch to try something new. It is not widely advertised and as such it was no surprise that only one other party was there, so a not exactly a busy restaurant. In reality the Brunch is a buffet with a good rich selection. You can also have eggs prepared to order. The food is good, so above average quality and there is quite a variety of fruit, scrambled eggs, pancakes, ... Not bad. The service was SLOW and I mean SLOW. It took 3-5 minutes to get any service and our coffee arrived 15 minutes later. One would expect that coffee for brunch is not a surprise. Here it was. The brunch is ~$20 / person which is quite expensive. In comparison to the J. Christopher 1/2 block away it is much more expensive. The food is of similar quality but the services and prices are much worse here. Next time proceed a little further down the road and get richer variety in food at a lower price and with better service.

I love this place. Everything on their menu is delicious. Service for the most part is great, decent prices. I think it's upscale "bar food", it really surpasses that label though. Love the tavern salad, fries, honey jack salmon, shrimp, calamari- literally everything I've had is fantastic. A little dark inside but lighting isn't really a deal breaker or much of a distraction for me. Some locations have happy hour, some don't- they all should I'm my opinion. But that aside, it's great!

Visited Marlow's earlier this year before attending a play at the Fabulous Fox. I wish my Marlow's experience had been fabulous, but alas, it wasn't. We had gone for the brunch buffet, but after walking through and seeing all of the depleted warming dishes and the lukewarm-looking remnants, I quickly changed my mind, opting for the "Everything and the Kitchen Sink Burger" minus tomato. I specifically asked the waiter to have the chef make mine medium well. The spouse ordered the same, but well-done. 20+ minutes later, after watching our friends rue their decision to forage the buffet, our server returns with our burgers. I quickly removed the bun to inspect the meat, which to my consternation, was charred black. Giving the chef the benefit of the doubt, I bit into it, and all I could taste was charcoal. Quickly summoning the waiter, I had him return this inedible monstrosity to the kitchen. An additional 20 minutes later, he returned with another burger, less burnt on the outside, but with that same overcooked taste on the inside. Having been in the place for an hour and ten minutes already, I charged it to the game, choked down the horrid sandwich. By the way, another reviewer described the bun as soggy...Absolutely right! It was a chore keeping it together to hold the meat. The fries were the saving grace- not as tasty as Gordon Biersch and definitely in a meager portion, but still passable. I doubt I'll go to this place again, and I sure won't recommend it to anyone else. If, on the off chance, I experience a lapse of amnesia and find myself there, I'll skip the burgers and brunch, and go for the French Dip.

Dayna F.

This place is darn good. The Kettle chips with bacon and Gorganzola was fan-freaking-tastic. We could have eaten a second portion. I really liked my Burger, the Black and blue, my companions was a little underdone. I subbed the fries for the grilled asparagus, and didn't regret it at all. Plus it's a 2 minute walk from the Marriott and all the employees recommended it.

our hotel two blocks away provided a $20 voucher to dine at marlow's so we decided to give it a try. the atmosphere was nice and we were seated quickly. we ordered burgers which were so-so. the best part of the meal was the grit cake as a side. it was so creamy, crispy, and delicious! i would order a couple of orders as a meal if i ever returned. seriously the best grits ever prepared in an unconventional way. side note: i never like grits.

When I feel like hiding out, keeping it low key Marlow's Tavern is my go to place. It's casual but classy. The food is great and sometimes they'll have bands performing out on the patio. A really good "chill" place to be.

Skrimps & Grits was amazing as expected. My buddy I went with had a burger and said it was one of the best he's had--a good sign from a seasoned burger eater. Our waitress was prompt, witty, and very cheerful. She kept our drinks full and smiles glued on our faces. Wonderful. See you again soon, Marlow's.

Cara B.

I feel like I have friends that will hate me for this review, but I just don't seem to get it. The food is really hit and miss here. I've had really good experiences followed up by really bad ones. I have a friend who swears by their fish tacos. My guy ordered them when we went here on a date. He almost had trouble finishing them. The cheapo tacos at taqueria del sol are better (and a 1/3rd of the price). I have a bit of a crazy food diet at the moment, so I had a very limited set of options and decided to try their caesar salad and throw some salmon on top. Now I know that the chefs of the world would tell me that my first mistake was ordering a salad with salmon randomly thrown on top, but I was hungry and knew a salad alone wouldn't be enough. The salad itself was decent. The salmon was inedible. The rub used on the salmon tasted like pure salt and was very overwhelming. It took a lot for me to eat it. Did I mention that my biggest problem with Marlows is the price? Yes the food is probably reasonably described as upscale bar food, but it's not good enough to warrant the price. I am giving them 3 stars because of past experiences. Stick to the burger menu, and you'll be fine. For some reason, maybe it's the odd flavor reminiscent of goldfish (I'm not kidding), I love their fries. They are light, airy, and delicious! Oh and don't forget their cocktails. The bartenders really know their stuff!

This place is average. It is in a great spot and has a very big menu. It gets PACKED at lunch and then service goes downhill and you may wait a while for food. Food is average, prices are average. Popular spot in the area. I would go earlier or later....its standard.

Marlow's is a nice place - a good local hang out. The atmosphere is very inviting, with nice big comfortable booths and stools. The service is friendly and attentive. I've mostly just had beer, but what little food I've had has been good, just not that memorable. Also, the Marlow's Nip (coffee with chocolate liqueur and Kahlua) was a great way to warm up on a cold, wet, winter's night. Also, bonus - free parking in the lot under the building. UPDATE: 4/11/08. We went here to eat the other night before the baseball game, and I must say I did not like the appetizers that my dining companions chose. The hummus was delicious, but the shrimp and crab nachos and buffalo wings just didn't do it for me. One thing I love about nachos is the crispy chip, and the chips were soggy from all the oil of the cheese. The cheese did not balance well with the shrimp and crab. The wing sauce was ok, but the wings were dry. Also, the homemade blue cheese dressing tasted more like ranch to me. The atmosphere was great with the windows open, so that made up for our poor choices. Also, it was ladies' night (Wednesdays after 5) and there were drink and appetizer specials that seemed like good deals to me.

As my friend who lives in the Plaza condos above this place, this is like the resident's "Cheers". And I don't live there.. but it is a pretty cool. I love the decor in here, especially when they decorate for different holidays, there are plenty of TV's without feeling like a trashy sports bar. The bartenders and waiters are personable and attentive, and the food is REALLY good! Especially their black bean burger, and their fries. But pretty much everything I've ever gotten here has been super tasty. They have a long bar and plenty of high tops and booths, but it can get pretty packed when there are events nearby in the city. But that's a good thing, right? I have always met new, nice people when I go here. I hear they have a kick-ass brunch too, but I've only been there for mimosas O.o

Just had a really good lunch here. 1st time in. Had the special of the day: tempura fried shrimp tacos. Very tasty. Best part to me was the fries. Sooooo yummy! I couldn't stop until I'd had all of them but a couple scraps. Not sure what was on them, but they alone will make me go back. Other dishes at my table (all were enjoyed) were the fish tacos, the salmon, & the chicken panini. Can't speak to apps or desserts b/c we didn't try any. Service was good; drinks kept filled & she checked back on us a couple times. Will return!

Sunday Brunch. Don't waste your time unless you have a lot of it. Food was good. Particularly the grits. But they make one batch at a time with a serving for 4. The wife and I went on Sunday and we sat at the bar. It took a few minutes for the bartender to acknowledge us. Once she did, we ordered our drinks and said we were going to do the buffet. I had the bottomless mimosa, the wife had a bloody mary. The mimosa are puored into a plastic kool aid pitcher with a brand of champange that I've never seen or heard of. By the time we came back we had no silverware and had to ask the other bartender for some. Don't recall the name of our bartender. After we were midway through our first serving, she introduced herself as our bartender. A little late for that! Back to the buffet. We went to the buffet and of the 8 or 9 trays of buffet food, only 3 actually had food in them. Expecting that more was quickly on the way, we waited on eggs, bacon, pancakes, grits, salmon pasta and chicken sausage for about 5 minutes. When the single runner came out, he only had a small pan of grits (garnished and all) but a serving size that was quickly gone with the first 5 people waiting in line. I managed to get a little out of the corner of the pan. Each time we went up, over half the items would be empty. We spent over an hour before we could actually get a sample of all the items. It took at least 6 trips to be able to get through all the items. After 3 trips with no salmon pasta, I asked the "single" runner if there was going to be anymore pasta coming out. His standard answer as with every other item that they ran out of was "5 minutes". However, he did stop by the bar to let me know he was taking a small pan pasta out and I followed him just to get a bit before it ran out again. I've never seen a buffet stay so depleted. Until I read a review where that problem is fixed, we won't be returning.

Probably one of the best vegetarian burgers I've had in Atlanta. Not only do they make it themselves (so it is fresh), they cook it separately from the meat products; you know, like everyone should for a vegetarian burger. I can't tell you how many places do not do this, and I find it frustrating as a vegetarian, that it seems like an inconvenience that I would want my vegetarian burger cooked separately from the meat. This place takes it serious, because the first time I went and asked, the manager came over after the server left our table to personally assure me that they made sure to cook it separately. I thought that was an awesome touch. I have eaten there a couple of times now, and the food has been consistently good. I only have two minor complaints, one, is that the kitchen is open, so if something starts to burn or get a little over done, the whole restaurant can get a little smelly. The second is that the wait for your food can be a bit longer than most places; but since it all comes out fresh and delicious, I am sure that one could (and should) be overlooked.

Ok, not exactly a fan. I think I am better described as between 3 and 4 stars. Situated on the Midtown Plaza near Georgia Tech, this is a very convenient place - with free parking and everything. I used to think this place is a place in wall but it is actually very spacious inside. We came in here as a spur of the moment thing, and we weren't really disappointed, although we didn't have our mind blown either. I ordered a Fiery Crawfish Cheese Dip and Pecan Crusted Trout, and my girlfriend ordered the Turkey Meatloaf. The cheese dip was good, it got some real flavor to it have some real crawfish, just a tinge of spiciness like the waitress explained. As for the entrees, the Pecan Crusted Trout is a bit of false advertising, as I did not taste any pecan, just a piece of fried fish. At $12, I was ok with the taste though, as the dirty rich and crawfish sauce made up for it. My girlfriend had the turkey meatloaf, again, not a big fan of it either but it tastes good. However, i really like the atmosphere. We went in thinking it would be a smoky bar. We were seated in the booths away from the bar and it was nice, albeit a bit loud, but nice nevertheless. All in all, this place will pass for the occasional spur of moment dinner thing and it is a nice place in the wall.

This place was awesome!! Went in for dinner while on business in Atlanta. The place was packed. The music was good and the drinks were flowing!! I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and it was great! It had the perfect ratio of buffalo to ranch. Our server was attentative and the manager came by to check and make sure everything was kosher! I will definitely be back when I am back in Atlanta.

I ordered the shrimp and grits. I was so hungry and the service was so quick! AMAZING!! The shrimp was fresh and the grits and sauce were amazing and creamy! Great company and apparently lots of regulars. Amazing menu. As a visitor to Atlanta I recommend stopping in for an incredible southern meal!

I ate at Marlow's with a friend of mine today. While the food was pretty good, I think I may have been a victim of too-high expectations brought on by reading the reviews here on Yelp. If I'd gone in expecting "pretty good food for a bar," I would have been pretty impressed. But I was expecting a little more than that. We ordered the Firecracker Shrimp as an appetizer because my friend loves it (and because it got good reviews here). The dipping sauces were bland and uninspiring. The shrimp itself was good, but I think I was expecting something a little more spicy from something with "firecracker" in the name. I ordered the Black-and-Blue Burger and substituted the truffle-parmesan fries (which you can do for only $1 extra). The burger was good, though not one of the best I've had. It was cooked correctly and came out very fresh, which is a plus. The truffle-parm fries were fresh, but based on other Yelpers' comments I kind of expected them to be more interesting than they were. Although others here have complained about service, our service was excellent. Granted, it was 11:30 am on Christmas Eve Eve, so the office lunch crowd was noticeably absent. We were the only patrons in the place. But our server was really nice and extremely attentive (without being annoying). We also had someone else, who I assume was the manager, come out and ask us if all our food was good and cooked correctly. Overall, I give Marlow's props for friendly service and better-than-average bar food. Nothing wowed me enough to give it that fourth star, but I might change my mind if I have the opportunity to go back sometime and sample their drinks or more of their menu items. Oh, and yes I do know that I just gave Sonic 4 stars and then gave Marlow's only 3. It's because within its category (fast food), Sonic excels. If you compare Marlow's with other pubs, it really doesn't equal places like 5 Seasons or any of the others that are known for good bar food. It's good, but I've had better.

Food: ok. Service: high compulsory tip for bad service. Nearly 20% service charge was added automatically; waitress did not return all of my changes; I couldn't reduce the tip even though she forgot my request.

A meeting ended at GA Tech and this place was close enough to grab a bite. While the many reviews said it would be really good, I was not quite impressed with the overall food. The only reason I gave it 3 stars was because of really good, friendly, humorous server. Also, the coupon for the free truffle fries next time. The food was average in taste overall, the truffle fries sounded amazing on the menu, delivered, tasted old, unflavorful, with Parmesan pieces on it. Based on the waiter and description, I was hoping for much better. The food was hot, but again, not very flavorful. They recognized the food was poor and gave a coupon to come back, so kudos for trying.

I honestly cannot belive that I haven't reviewed Marlow's Tavern before now. I love this place. Every time I am trying to think of a quick, tasty and reasonably priced meal, Marlow's is always my first choice. Oh and did I mention that they have a FREE parking deck? Yes, free parking right in the heart of Midtown. Shocking, I know. The food is always good, the atmosphere is great and it really is the ideal place to go watch a game or catch up with friends. I would say all in all a pretty solid place.

****************************3.5 stars************************************** So on Cinco de mayo me and some buddies decided to celebrate this mexican holiday (and my bday) by going out and getting some food and drinks (hopefully on the cheap). So we were set up to go to no mas cantina at 7:30 (not a good idea). when we drove by it was packed to the brim everyone was waiting outside and it was a 2 hour wait for food and that was just an estimate (which is ridiculous). seeing our options dwindle we decided to head to mid-town and check out the prickly pear. 20 min later when we got there it was a cluster-f*ck. It was an apparent Cinco de Mayo 'block party' being thrown by two restaurants. Forget trying to put ure name a list of any sort it was complete mayhem and drunk guys to boot. Usually its not an issue but since the lady was in town this didn't bode over well with me. seeing an open table we sat down thinking it was part of the 'block party' but apparently Marlow's Tavern wasn't part of it. But seeing as we didn't want any part of any cluster-f*ck we decided to stay. menus were delivered promptly and the waiter came out to get our drink orders. Looking at the prices on the menu it didn't really jump out as expensive or pricey, pretty much on par with say 6 feet under or any other atl establishment. So off we went to order. Since i was hungry and wanted to drink i didn't wanna get anything too filling so the lady and i decided to just do appetizers. We ordered firecracker shrimp ($10), marlow's tavern sampler ($12) and some fried calamari ($11). And keeping with the theme we also got a margarita ($8) and a blueberry mojito ($8). So as we waited we just enjoyed the festivities and chatted up with some buddies. 15 min later as conversation was running dry and my buzz slowly slipping away i could wait no longer and jumped over next door to prickly pear to grab a drink. when i got back there were our drinks, oh well more for me. There was also an apparent mistake and two margaritas were delivered. So making quick work of the one in my hand, we continued to talk. Soon after, the food arrived and not a moment too soon. The food was nothing too special but well executed nonetheless. The sampler, which included shrimp and crab nachos, firecracker shrimp, and hummus was pretty good. Nachos were nice and cheesy and the filling was sufficient. Fire cracker shrimp were crisp and tender not over fried but seemed like it was just fancy Long John Silver's. the hummus tasted home made and earthy but had a layer of oil on the top so i didn't really know what to make out of it, but it was still good. The bigger order of firecracker shrimp was also well fried. The calamari was a little disappointing. Pieces stuck together and some of the tentacle pieces were a bit over cooked and dry. At least the cocktails were good. The lady really enjoyed her blueberry mojito (too bad she could order only 1 since they ran out of blueberry liquor). and the margarita i had could've been a bit stronger but its a cocktail so i wasn't expecting much liquor in it anyways. Overall Marlow's tavern was accommodating for a busy night. Their appetizers are good but nothing special. Their cocktails are better than their food but could be a bit stronger. and their prices are right on par with a restaurant of their caliber. I'd come back if i was in the area... dunno if i'd make the trek out here solely for the food since parking can be hectic... Decent food, Good drinks, good atmosphere, decent service.... Happy eating...

So I went to Marlow's Tavern with a few friends at their suggestion and I think we all really enjoyed it. It's not really what I would call a tavern, but then again it's Midtown, so, whatever. We shared a few appetizers all of which were great. The calamari was crispy and not too heavily fried. The "toasted cheese" was adorable -- little grilled cheese sandwiches served with tomato sauce. It reminded me of having grilled cheese and tomato soup as a kid. We also had a bruchetta with shrimp and basil and tomato which was very tasty. For the meal I had the "black and blue" salad which was excellent -- very flavorful and I loved the steak medium-rare. The reason for the lost star is two-fold. A friend's meal was totally absurd. He ordered something called a "chicken stack" expecting a sort of Napoleon, but when it came out it was an enormous mass of cheese and vegetables sandwiched between two whole chicken breasts. This was served up with a Mediterranean salad consisting mostly of feta cheese. We were headed out after dinner, so he couldn't take the leftovers with him and it seemed a shame to waste so much food. I guess one should exercise a little discretion before ordering. Also, it sort of looks like a Starbucks on the inside. There's a massive amount of hipster-fail black-and-white photography on the walls. It reminded me of a Hampton Inn. Not really important, but I thought I'd throw that out there. Anywho, you should definitely check it out -- there was a great selection, definitely something for every taste!

The first time I went here there were a lot of people but not too crowded. It was a good atmosphere, friendly service, and good seating choices. They have bar seats, booths, and tables with stools. I always enjoy a bar with no smoking as well. The second time I came was for the Yelp party. It was even more fun then. Even though it got pretty crowded and hot, it was not something taking off my jacket could not fix. The bartenders were friendly and pretty speedy even while mixing so many of the special Yelp drinks. They even have a good amount of bathrooms. They offer a decent selection of food too, with some good snacking foods. Overall it was a great experience and a great location on West Peachtree right near Mac's in case you want to continue the party at home.

The food at Marlow's is really good. Fried macaroni and cheese? Are you kidding me?? Spectacular. I've really never had anything I didn't like. I always get good service, too. Marlow's is a great spot to eat or just have drinks if you're in Midtown. I highly recommend.

Randomly stopped in here on a Saturday night. I was surprised that we were able to get a table fairly quickly despite the crowd at the bar and near the front. The waiter was friendly but it took 15 minutes to get our drink orders. When they arrived, they were kinda watered down for $8 a piece. While it took a little while for the drinks, it only took 10 minutes for our burgers to arrive. They were very fresh and I appreciated that the rolls were grilled in a bit of butter to add more flavor and prevent the juices from making the bun soggy. I loathe soggy bread! The fries were OK, they kind of looked like leftovers that had been cooked earlier. Overall, not a bad spot to eat on a date night or to hang out with friends. The bar was very lively and there was a diverse crowd. I wouldn't break my neck to come here again, but if it was an option, I'd definitely consider.

I was in Atlanta for a wedding and our Hotel (the Palomar) was right next door, so we of course stopped in for a bite. I got the asparagus fries. I guess I should have realized fries means deep-fried asparagus. The first few were good, but after that I had to peel off the breading because it was just not a good combo. My friend's appetizers were pretty good - we were impressed by the hummus and crab and lobster nachos. But again, we expected less fried (the crab and lobster were deep-fried) and more class for the price. Drinks were OK - a little on the weak side.

(Visited June 2011) It was a humid warm rainy evening, dusk to be exact. The overcast weather reminding me of my hometown San Francisco in some familiar ways. Streets filled with citizens in the mood for shopping, dining, exploring and partying. However, slowly becoming frustrated with the parking, we soon found relief. Covered parking in garage at a low rate. Convenience met us (again) at the door, which turned out to be only 20 steps from our vehicle. Walking in through the back door (from the parking garage)made me feel as if I were a international celebrity seeking privacy from the general public.LOL I loved the many restrooms provided and the AMBIANCE immediately screamed ROOMMAANNCCEE. Freezing cold, I remembered I hadn't packed a jacket. Gee, in the back of my mind I am thinking "What in the hell is the thermostat on? 20 degrees?!?!?!?" It was Brrrrr Colllllddddd in Marlow's. The thought of a nice stift drink hit me in the head like the rain (outside) beating the windows. We ordered the Pomegranate Martini and the Watermelon Margarita. The Pomegranate Martini was very potent... Definitely delivered sweet tastes of pomegranate flavors. However, the after taste greets you (as if to say) "Hello, I am pomegranate flavored grenadine syrup!". I was immediately over it! The Watermelon Margarita was packed with a PUNCH (liquor). I immediately thought "Man, I should have told them NO ice!" The glass is so narrow, you find yourself done with the drink before it arrives. Nothing spectacular as far as the watermelon flavor. Definitely was better than the traditional lime margarita flavor we are all use to. Thank god for ice water.... Water always helps me transition into my next drink or platter. Water refreshes and renews for a clean slate! Luckily, Malow's water was fresh and scored a 10! Next up??? Fried Calamari. I felt like I was chewing on a rubber boot. I could not appreciate the texture of the calamari. I always blame it on "SF,CA"; Land of the greatest seafood selection ever. When you know seafood it is hard to settle for anything less. Marlow's delivered "LESS". When the batter pulls from the calamari I have a problem with that... The taste becomes unorganized and I cannot get enthused w/ the taste of the calamari. It's almost like you have to marinate and marry everything in your mouth (yourself) in order to get it right. NO!!!!!!!! When I eat something I want to be able to close my eyes, moan in disbelief, hold my head back and have the highest food orgasm of my life. The Marinara keeps you fulfilled throughout the appetizer THANK GOD. Definitely must zest your calamari up with lemon if you want some added flavor. Again, that batter did NOT have that PUNCH I was looking for. I see my waitor "ANDREW" (who by the way is a hottie). Andrew definitely has our main entrees. The plates came around the corner in slow motion (my vision with food is lustful...sorry lol). My mouth was watering with every inch of the plate coming closer! Main entree presentation: AWESOME! I ordered a delicious cheeseburger and fries. Felt like being an all-american girl on this evening. Indulging my tastes into the first bite was like heaven. "MMmmmmmmmm" there was that moannnn I always give. Delicious, NO BETTER YET... IMPECCABLE!!! Marlow's ground beef is definitely ANGUS. Marinades were a 10! I was very pleased! The fries were an 8. Why?Served hott and extra crunchy (taste good)... However, for any reason if they cooled I had a feeling I would be in for another calamari disaster (CHEWY FRIES). The fries gave off this frozen foods taste in the back of my mind. I would have preferred fresh chopped red potatos fried with a hint of garlic and basil. Red potato fried totally would have complimented this delicious cheeseburger. In the end I was bloated and stuffed like a huge hungry hippo. Dessert was definitely a NO-GO! LOL You definitely get your monies worth at this place. The vibe is fun, laid back, and real chill. Diversity was a plus. Sometime you have to go downtown to get a cultural experience. I appreciated peeking my head over at the 5 different televisions (hanging over the bar) to catch a glimpse of the 5 minutes of news I take in weekly. CNN was Marlow's sidekick! All in All I have to give this place a thumb's up! Definitely a repeat patron. I like the fact that NO matter which side of town you are on you can find a Marlow's Tavern! Thank you Marlow's for a casually enchanted evening... I look forward to our next food affair. Sincerely, Ms. Food Orgasm

Food - Solid. The queso chicken soup was fantastic and on par with many of the best I've had. I also had the black and blue flatiron steak salad. The presentation was interesting, with a correctly prepared med-rare-seared-on-outside-red-in-middle steak and a whole, large, tomato, sliced into 4 large chunks, flanking the well tossed salad. The salad was very good, if a bit heavy on the dressing. The tomato chunks kinda weirded me out but I ingested it all regardless. Like many people mentioned, the menu is uninspired and it took me a LONG time to figure out what I wanted (uncharacteristic for me). I saw that other said the same thing, so be prepared to be uninspired by the menu. Service - I sat at the bar so I was helped by Lou and Lauren. As soon as I sat down Lou came over, introduced himself and Lauren, and were both very attentive and friendly. They both asked my name and shook my hand. Lauren kept calling me "honey," "baby," and "sweetheart," which made me a little uncomfortable, but that's how southern girls roll. I guess I'll never get used to it. Lauren was always on the spot with the beer and even kept refilling my water. A+ on the service. Environment - Agree with other Yelpers: Nice, modern chic interior. Warm and friendly, not industrial and foreboding. I really enjoyed the decor. Price - I pad $25 for the salad, soup, and 2 beers. It's on the expensive end of bar food. I had 2 Yuenlings ($4.25 per), soup was around $4, and the salad around $14. Def. a bit pricey and wish they had happy hour specials. I would def. go back if they offered HH specials. Would I recommend it? Yes, but probably not often. It's not a bad place to meet and do HH with a larger group, but they don't offer any specials... Not a bad bar to roll in solo though and throw back a couple of beers, eat some food, and watch a game or two.

Met a buddy here for a bite on Wednesday. We were trying to think of some place that was affordable, with easy parking for me as I was driving in. The obvious choices were all places we'd been before and were getting tired of. So when my friend suggested Marlow's, I figured what the hell. I hadn't been before and I heard the place was pretty good. I came in from the parking deck entrance and it reminded me of the beginning of Get Smart. There was a long hallway with all these doors. It was a little weird actually. But once I made it down the long hallway and into the dining room, I liked the vibe of the place. It had a somewhat clubby, neighborhood bar kind of feel. Cozy isn't the right word and unassuming is a bit of an insult. It just felt like a come-as-you-are place. After my friend and I caught up, I spent some time with the menu, which was a nice mix of salads, sandwiches and entrees. Tempted by the burgers--which my buddy recommended--I decided to go for something a little spicier, a buffalo chicken wrap. When the food came, it was a surprisingly large lunch portion, as the wrap was packed with chicken, lettuce, etc. And the mound of fries was so large, I barely made a dent in them. The final damage wasn't that bad either. The wrap and a Coke, plus tax and tip, only came out to $12. The service was a little slow of the beverage refills, but was otherwise fine. And right before we left, our waiter left a form to enter a free raffle and get on their e-mail list. This is something you should do, as the following day I received an e-coupon for $10 off. With money being tight these days, it's something my wife and I will definitely use. All in all, Marlow's turned out to be a great lunch spot. As we left, I was really kicking myself for not going here more when I worked nearby.

Definitely a solid spot. Great beer selection and impressive drink menu. The food I ordered was good, not spectacular, but hey, it was a salad so what do you expect. The menu does have a good variety of options though so that's a huge plus. I really like the layout/atmosphere of this location too. Nice long bar, plenty of TVs in view and free parking in the attached garage is incredibly convenient. You don't even have to walk outside...and of course it was raining when I went so my hair thanks you Marlow's Tavern :) Another win for midtown.

There's nothing more I love then going to fun unpretentious bar and grills like Marlows. I come here every afternoon for my shot of Jack and side of Coke when I'm in town and they never fail to deliver before my rear end hits that bar stool. I come to Marlows as a social medium with coworkers during and after work. The food is great as well especially after a couple of drinks. I don't think I've met a single lame person that works on their service staff and that is great because it just feels like home when you're in there. With Marlows, I have to rant more about service then their food just because that is what wins it all for me. However, if you are a first timer at Marlows, try the shrimp and crab nacho appetizer. These things are really good and if you're not that hungry, it alone will fill your belly. Add a shot of whatever and there's a party in your tummy! So yummy! So yummy! Their burgers are great as well. They're huge. Believe it or not, I am one to complain about getting too much food. I hate being overstuffed and having to bring stuff with me. But despite its giant size, it's a great tasting burger. The prices here are reasonable for midtown Atlanta and it's always a great place to meet people. It's always busy. Love it love it love it. twitter.com/10_k

Every year, my friends and I search for a place to handle a good-sized group of people for dinner and drinks for my birthday, and it is never an easy task. This year (thanks to Yelpers), we decided to try Marlow's. I called a week beforehand to make sure they could handle 16 people on a Saturday night - the manager (Chris) was quite willing to take a reservation on a busy night (Oysterfest night) for 16 people eating dinner. On my way to dinner, I started receiving text messages and phone calls from my friends/guests stating that they had forgotten about the reservation and the place was packed. By the time I arrived, the manager had promised to rectify the situation. 12 of us stood by the front and waited for an area to clear. Chris brought me a free drink to diffuse the situation and promised free appetizers for everyone. After 20 minutes, they had cleared out the entire front area for us and had pushed 4 tables together and offered not to sit anyone else in our section. The waiter came and took our order for drinks and appetizers and before we knew it, we had a table full of apps on the house while we reviewed our dining options. Kettle Chips loaded with blue cheese sauce, bacon, tomatoes and green onions - excellent choice and I could have eaten the whole plate on my own. Killer Calamari with Spicy and Sweet sauces, and my friends seemed to enjoy it. Marlow's Famous Hummus Plate with pita bread, carrots and celery - this had a nice flavor and was a hit. Fresh Picked Spinach & Artichoke Dip a version that in addition to the traditional dip, also has mushrooms and tomatoes served with large pieces of garlic bread - this was my favorite app on the table. Again, I could have kept the whole thing to myself. As for dinner, the table ordered a large array of choices and everyone was complimentary of their dinner. For me, I went with the Grilled Chicken Pappardelle. The pasta was delicious with its creamy tomato (pomodoro) sauce with "a hint of Vodka" and fresh basil. My only complaint was the chicken breast was whole and placed on top of the pasta and sauce. I prefer in this type of dish that either the whole chicken breast be placed to the side, or sliced up if placed on top. Despite my irritation over the presentation, the dish was nicely prepared and was quite tasty. The waiter handled the large party quite well, including the musical chairs and late additions to the festivities. He was also nice enough to cash out a few folks early without complaint. Another bonus - free parking under the building makes for an easy evening in Midtown. So as long as you call ahead, this place can certainly handle a crowd. And if they do make a mistake, they are quick to admit their mistake and offer ways to resolve the situation. Hey - I never paid for a drink!

I'm really kinda shocked that I've taken so well to Marlow's; by all means I'd normally think a place like this would strike me as eh-I-kinda-dig-it-but-not-*my*-kinda-spot-exactly. But sure enough I've been back time and time again, generally having a considerably above average time. Notables: -cheddar soup. delicious. -turkey sandwich. DELICIOUS. Perhaps more nostalgia than anything though, the sauce tastes exactly like what we used to make Easter morning to pour over our eggs and toast. Anyway. -for any number of reasons, there always seems to be the same guy covering what I can only call Doucherock (think: Nickelback) anytime we're there on weekend. Eh, whatev. -an OK selection of beer; they rotate a couple taps frequently but usually if I have to default to Sam Adams that means you're probably only scoring like 4 points out of 10.

This was place was great! We were treated to their house made kettle chips appetizer just for it being our first time there! I ordered the grilled chicken panini and it did not disappoint! I opted for the jalapeÃ±o corn grits as my side and they were creamy with just enough punch of jalapeÃ±o. My friend ordered a tavern burger with tomato bacon jam, you read that right, TOMATO BACON JAM!! She chose fried whole okra as her side & they were delish! Put Marlow's on your list when in midtown!!

This was my first time at a Marlows tavern and I must say it was a great experience. I will definitely return. I ordered the turkey burger and a red wine sangria. The service was prompt and the staff was very friendly. The burger was very tender and great flavor. The only tip i have is concerning the sangria. I love sangria and have had it at many many places. The taste here was good but the way they cut up the fruit makes it difficult to sip as it would get stuck in the straw. It might just be my small idiosyncrasies but its what kept me from giving this a 5 star experience.

This is one of the first places we went to when we moved here 4 years ago and we keep coming back. It's a "chain", but it's also a great neighborhood restaurant. We often sit at the bar and the service is always excellent. We went for the "Giving Kitchen" event sponsored by Sweetwater last week and had a great time. They had 4 different kinds of wings and the smoked wings and sweet chili wings were amazing. It may be the best wings we've had in ATL to date. Anyway, you can't go wrong by coming here - the Parmesan Fries is one of our favs and we usually get the special of the evening or the burgers. Just a great place overall and we'd definitely recommend it if you are in the mood for very good American/upscale "pubish" type food.

My initial impression of Marlow's was great- I was actually in a car wreck directly in front of the restaurant (someone t-boned me), in the middle of prime dinner time, and the manager saw the whole thing happen. He brought me bottles of water and offered to call the police for me since I was shaken up. I subconsciously associated his kindness with the restaurant, and figured it must be a great place. I was wrong. My close friend decided to have his birthday dinner here yesterday evening. He called earlier in the day to make a reservation for the 12 of us, since the seating is fairly limited, and there are only 1 or 2 options for seating large parties. They said that was totally fine, they would see us at 7:30. We showed up at 7:00 (always better to be early than late!) and apparently the reservation wasn't made, or was lost somehow. The general manager gave us extreme attitude and didn't believe we'd called at all. We did have a confirmation email for the reservation, but at that point it didn't matter. After an hour and a half wait (during which the bar staff was rude when I went to get my partner and I drinks while we waited), we were seated. My partner ordered the burger, and I got the grilled chicken sandwich. We both agreed that our meals were "meh", not bad but not particularly good. My piece of chicken was about 3/4 of the bun size, so lots of extra bread, and not worth $13. A vegan friend had the black bean burger, which was mushy (as black bean burgers tend to be), and the avocado she ordered for an extra charge was 1/4 of one thin slice of avocado. However, a few other people at the table got the Grilled Chicken Stack and were raving about it. The kettle chips appetizer (with gorgonzola cheese and bacon) was very good too. Our server wasn't terribly friendly, which would've been okay except that when it came time to pay, I extended my check toward him and started to ask, "Do you take Discover?" when he cut me off and sneered, "Oh we don't take Discover" (I wish I could better relay his tone!) and he immediately turned his back and walked away before I could ask anything else or hand him a different card. Overall, a bad experience with mediocre food and poor service from all levels of employees. I would give one star, but since a few people at my table enjoyed their food, and one of the managers was above-and-beyond kind to me, two it is.

You could say I frequent this place...as I'm writing this from the bar while I grab lunch. This place is a solid lunch spot, with some great burgers. They are always made fresh to order, with some great toppings, and are just as great getting one to go. Marlow's to-go service is speedy too. I call in to place an order, 15 minutes later when I show up my food is just coming out of the kitchen. Perfect! I'm here at least once a week to grab a burger. Service is always great, and the bartenders are always friendly and strike up good conversation when they aren't slammed. One of my favorite things, other than the burgers is the rotating special menu they have. This time it has a South African flair that I'm excited to try. Overall, hard to beat solid spot in midtown with good prices, service, and food.

The food and serve was amazing. I had the BBQ rib special of the night with cornbread and Mac and Cheese sides. We also had the Ahi Tuna Poke with avocado.

Jessie D.

Really great! They asked if it was our first time there and surprised us with a free appetizer. I don't remember what it was called it it was basically baked kettle chips topped with blue cheese, bacon, and green onion. They have a nice menu of original cocktails and a few unusual sides like asparagus fries and chickpea fries. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and my only complaint is that grilling the tortilla made it a little tough otherwise they would have gotten a 5.

Chuck W.

Had 2 free entree vouchers so deciding to dine here was a no-brainer and we were very pleased. Shrimp and crab nachos were excellent - only complaint was that the jalapeÃ±os were super hot. Crispy short rib - Intriguing dish. It really was crispy on the outside. Unlike most short ribs I've had, this one had a good deal of bite to it. Definitely not tender and "fork cuttable" but I like a firmer cut of meat anyway. The grits, kale and demi were excellent though. Tavern salad - pretty good. My veg wife enjoyed it. Service - top notch. Atmosphere - definitely was loud but fine.

Daniel E.

Terrific dining option, with a combination of good service, a quality menu, and a nice setting. Was staying at the nearby Renaissance Midtown, and the hotel staff highly recommended Marlow's as a solid option within walking distance. I was immediately greeted upon arriving, and after being seated after a short wait on a busy night, I had a superb dining experience. My server, Rachel, recommended something off the dinner specials, and I selected it - a grilled chicken dish with risotto, spinach, and squash. Enjoyed a tasty appetizer also, a hummus plate that was really good. Solid dining option in the Midtown area!

Food = 3.5 Fish tacos were excellent but the crab cake was so weird. First time ever seeing crabcake with a crust. The waitress was kind to take it back and off the bill Service = 5 Loved it. Just right. Even the chef/manager came from the back to apologize Ambience = 4 Regular pub/restaurant setting. Nothing to blow me out of the water.

Ok I LOVE this place. I've been to this location with family, friends, as well as for a business meeting and the service, food & drinks are spot on EVERY TIME. If you like or are on the fence about calamari, try it here - it's amazing!!!!! Also, the baby kale caesar, the burgers, and the fish tacos are all good as well. If you get the shrimp and grits, be mindful that the "grits" are grit cakes and not the traditional southern style. Also, I've been to the Northlake location several times as well and had good experiences. The staff there is not quite up to par as this location's staff, but the food is still great.

Just get the burger. One of the best I ever had. Friendly service and other food is good if your friends don't do burgers.

Abhi K.

I like the space. It's an airy, upscale bar, but with midscale prices. Sadly, that was the only thing I really liked about this place. Sure, their service was decent, even though the waiter talked way too fast for my ears. And their fries were fine, even though I don't understand why so many restaurants emphasize "hand-cut" as if this somehow makes the fry taste better. But my real issue comes with the wagyu burger, which tasted nowhere near as soft as wagyu is supposed to be. Honestly, it tasted like any other burger. I've had wagyu at other places where you bite into the meat and it melts in your mouth. Not so, here. This might be a fine place if you're looking for a bar in midtown, but it will be disappointing to any foodie.

Marlow's Midtown has become my go to place. Whether I have company or I want a night to myself. I can go to Marlow's and have a great time. The servers are great! The food is always tasty. Well except the spear pickles... They're a bit weird. Anyways, if you get a chance to meet Corey or Ashely it'll be a pleasure! Some of the best bartenders I've had in my life in the over 10 countries I've been too!!! A great place with a even better atmosphere!

Great atmosphere, downstairs from my boyfriends condo, easy to order "to go food"and quickly pick it up. Solid bar selection with a seasonal menu and a great atmosphere. We are always greeted by the same managers and barely ever have a wait. The food has always been great, definitely a good spot for a "higher class" bar fare.

Wesley R.

I can't say enough good things! The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I was especially pleased with how inexpensive the meal was. We had the asparagus fries, a black and bleu burger, a Caesar salad with blackened salmon, and the chocolate cake (which was to DIE for). I recommend all of the above. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

Stephanie P.

Fantastic food and service. Gluten free menu available. Loved my shrimp and grits, couldn't believe the generous amount of shrimp in my meal. My party was all first time diners at Marlow's. The manager brought us a complimentary appetizer that looked delicious. Sadly it wasn't GF, but my dining companions devoured it!

This place is really closer to a three-star establishment, but I'm rounding up for the sheer fact that the employees have a tolerance threshold that would rival the likes of Mother Teresa. During my recent visit, they graciously accommodated a tribe of eight foreigners, who proceeded to occupy a large table, order waters, request their food to go with separate checks, and then book promptly thereafter. After running the waiter to filth, they proceeded to leave no tip. It is for this reason that I would never last an hour - let alone a day - in the hospitality industry. No folks, the customer is not always right - in fact, in many cases they are indeed delusional ignoramuses. Food: Marlow's is a regional chain restaurant with casual American food offerings. The menu isn't exactly a cathartic culinary experience, but there's something to please any person with taste buds and reasonable expectations. Our group started with the kettle chips, which were topped with gorgonzola cheese, bacon, tomato, and scallions - the chips themselves were nicely prepared and served piping hot, but the toppings were a bit sparse for the price point. For an entree, I opted for the grilled chicken BLT sandwich, which was comprised of apple-wood smoked bacon, arugula, and fried green tomatoes on ciabatta. The sandwich was sizably portioned and flavorful. Most entrees come with your choice of side from a fairly diverse and impressive list - I opted for the white cheddar grit cakes, which were excellent. Service: The staff during my visit were all pleasant, efficient, and knowledgable about the menu. Our waitress was quick to refill drinks and handled our party of six with relative ease. We also told her that we had a show to catch and she made every effort to ensure that our orders were taken and the check was delivered promptly. Atmosphere: The interior of this place is rather stark, but they do have a decent outdoor patio, which overlooks West Peachtree Street - unfortunately, it's not fully covered though, which limited its allure during our rainy day visit. The dining room includes a diverse array of seating options, including booths, standard tables, and high-tops. The restaurant also has a large bar area that spans the entire length of the restaurant and has several televisions. Cost: Moderately priced. Appetizers are generally $5-$10, sandwiches are $10, salads are $5-$10, and larger entrees are around $15-$20. Sides are $3 and desserts are $6. Other: Marlow's is located in Midtown at the intersection of West Peachtree and 8th Streets. Free parking for customers is available in the Plaza Midtown lot, which can be accessed off Peachtree Place (9th St) The restaurant is also just down the street from the Midtown MARTA station. Hours of operation are Sunday, 10:30AM-11PM, Monday-Thursday, 11:30AM-12AM, and Friday-Saturday, 11:30AM-1AM. Online ordering and takeout are available.

I know this is a chain but I think there is something special about this place. I love their wine menu, different things you don't see around the Atl wine bunch and they have tons of variety. The FRIES are great! Love an order of the truffle fries. I had the Sizzin Feta and if you like feta that is a MUST!! I also love their calamari it is spicy it has this killer sauce like a plum sauce of some kind but it is spicy and delicious! I got the Chinese Chicken salad and split the grilled buffalo wrap and I enjoyed them both very much! Great area, great lunch/dinner place!!

Gave our food to another table. Then offered to "rush" our chicken dish. Not a good ring to that. Still charged us for the appetizer and we left. Avoid this place.

I'm just catching up on reviews, so this is not a recent one in spite of the date. BUT that said, I go there as often as I can. It's a really great place to have a business conversation because it's just noisy enough that others can't here you but not so noisy that you can't hear yourself. Great wine by the glass variety, I'm still working my way through the list. I could make a dinner of nothing but appetizers, which is again a great option for a business dinner. They change the menu occasionally, so except for the kettle chips, I can't say anything is a standard for me. BUT I always look forward to what's new and I haven't been disappointed yet. Great wait staff too.

Really great place. There is one closer to where I live but ended up down town for a day at the High and decided to have lunch here. Great service and atmosphere and the food was very yummy. My dining partner got the best chickpea fries! I had a black and bleu burger that was perfection. Can't wait to try my location 5 minutes from home!

I won a gift card to Marlow's Tavern, and I must say, I was grateful for it. This place is the bomb! We got the kettle chips and wings for an appetizer and they were amazing! The chips were so crispy and the toppings were perfect! As foot our entrees, I got the filet mignon with a Caesar salad and OH MY GOSH! The filet cut like butter. My husband got a simple burger and fries and he was not disappointed. To finish it off, we shared a Creme Brule, which was sinful. Everything we ate was so delicious. The atmosphere is great as well, it was great to be able to watch a game but also have it not be the main focus. And the service was just phenomenal! We had an amazing time at Marlow's Tavern (the midtown location), and we will definitely be back!!

Kashif K.

I used to love their Sunday brunch, until they took off the crab cakes benedict, which cost them a star in my rating (you take off a food item I love, I take off a star: fair enough). Still like the food here very much. Love their chicken queso soup and fish tacos! My favorite side is the fried okra. I know it's hard to go wrong with a buffalo chicken wrap and it's a pretty mundane thing that you can find anywhere, but trust me: I don't know what Marlow's does to make their buffalo chicken wrap this good, but it's really, really good!

That double cheeseburger has twice the cheese--not meat :( Noise level is HORRIBLE!!! At least 60 decibels. Other than that, truffle Parmesan fries were tasty. Good was fresh. $14 each for burger and one draught beer each. Pretty good. Diverse crowd.

1. Wasted 2 hours. Everything was super slow. 2. Being ignored. Bad attitude 3. Staff were not organized. Service was in a mess with low efficiency. 4. The dessert, warm chocolate cake thing, was terrible. 5. The waiter left out one thing we ordered. 6. Recommend that you spend same amount of money nearby at Steel.

I would definitely recommend We came here on the recommendation from the hotel and it was a very good decision. Service was very good all the way through and when the manager found out it was the first time there he brought out for us these potato chips with cheese and garlic etc. very delicious. I ordered a black bean burger, which was very good with a grit cake that was heavenly after a beets salad that had goat cheese and quinoa, very yummy. My husband had a grilled chicken sandwich with one of the best French fries we've had in a long time. On the way back from the bathroom I fell (my fault) and two waitresses asked how they could help me and brought ice cubes in a bag right away. I had asked the waitress that was really nice what was the secret for the grit cakes and the manager came out and told me the complete recipe. All in all they managed to make a sandwich place into a great experience, thank you!

I came here a few nights ago since it was right next to the hotel we were staying at. Upon walking in, I noticed that it was pretty busy and had a gastropub-y feel which I love. The server was very friendly and happy to hear that it was our first time in ATL. She gave us a few recommendations and I ended up ordering the truffle fries and the steak salad - they were both delicious! Overall, this was the best dining experience we had during our stay in ATL, and will definitely be back the next time we visit.

This Marlow's location is hopping! The bar is always a hot spot on the weekends, and the Sunday brunch is really popular (and delicious). During game days the place has all TVs turned to sports coverage, and they often close the street outside for tailgates and block parties. Overall, a great neighborhood hangout and a good place to grab a casual bite.

What an incredible place! I had a wonderful dining experience here. Their fried green tomatoes come with an excellent sauce, their burgers are excellent, and their shrimp and grits is out of this world! The service was excellent. Would absolutely return.

This review is solely about the Brunch Buffet and they I am not a fan of buffets, I am a fan of Marlow's brunch. The buffet is affordably priced for everything you get on it ; however, be prepared to stand in line or have wait for a table available. They have an action Omelette station, french toast, pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, several types of sausages, pastas, salad, muffins etc. all for $15.99 The bottomless mimosas are $15.00 and with the wait, you will definitely get your $$ worth. Also, remember street parking is free on Sundays :)

I've been to the Marlow's Tavern located in Vinings. Marlow's is blowing up though! It most recently opened up a joint in Dunwoody, and I saw another Marlow's off Sugarloaf Pkwy. Initially, I had this impression of Marlow's tavern (based on the Vinings location) that it was this cool tavern/pub with some character and a good place to chill. When I saw the Marlow's off Sugarloaf, it became an upscale (okay, not upscale contemporary or modern style but upscale suburb style!) tavern/pub -- really, more of a restaurant. Well, the Marlow's off Peachtree St. was definitely nicer than the Vinings but not quite like the Sugarloaf location. Definitely nice with decor and all, but the vibe I got from this Marlow's is a mix between sit down restaurant and pub. PARKING: As Daniel B. noted in his quick and very useful tip, there is free parking in the Publix Parking Garage (located off Peachtree Pl.). CHICKEN PANINI --- $11 The grilled chicken panini came with grilled chicken arugula, buffalo mozzarella cheese, and tomato. This dish also comes with fries. I asked that they exclude the arugula (I just cannot love this no matter how many times I've tried!). When I received my chicken panini, they cut it in half and then stacked them on one another so it looked like I only had two halves (in actuality, it was cut into quarters). Like a fool, I tried to stuff the two quarters of the sandwich (which were stacked together) in my mouth and eat it. I couldn't quite talk since my mouth was stuffed. After looking at this more carefully (before my next bite), I realized that it was double stacked. =) [Please take a note of this for yourself so you are not stuffing your face like I was!!!] The chicken was very, very thin. I wish it could have had some more meat on it, especially for $11. Granted, it's a panini, but still... =) The fresh mozzarella though was perfectly melted and very delicious... the cheese was fresh! After reading so many reviews about the parmesan truffle fries, I thought I should order these in place of the regular fries. However, I wasn't aware that I'd be charged $1.25 (I put $1.15 on my pic on accident) for substituting. I'm feeling a little jipped (sp?). I paid $11 for a very thin piece of chicken? mozzarella? and a couple slices of tomato? Anyway, I'll stop griping about it, but I was surprised to see this on my check. The parmesan fries were pretty good... and I would order them again (as long as I'm aware I'll be charged extra!). As for the service, our server was efficient. We arrived at 1 pm for lunch and needed to leave by 1:30 on a Monday afternoon. We didn't wait more than 3 minutes for a seat and we actually left by 1:30. I was really surprised that it was possible, but once we told our server, she said we would have plenty of time. She was right. She was on top of our drinks, service, and condiments we needed. She was pleasant, so no complaints there! I will be back, but I'm gonna make sure I ask if I'll be charged extra for anything I order... =)

Travis A.

Solid! A buddy suggested we check this place out for dinner one night in town. It didn't disappoint. Our server was great and drinks were well made. Had three appetizers... The chips with bacon, chives, and cheese were on the house. We also got some sort of tempura-like shrimp with a couple dipping sauces which were very good. And then the best thing was the crab and shrimp nachos. They were the F'n TRUTH! I should have gotten two more orders. I had the French dip with parm fries and my girlfriend had the panini. Her cousin I think had one of the burgers. Everything was very good and well priced for the portions. We'll definitely be back when in town again.

SPOILER ALERT: NO LONGER OFFER BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS!!!!! -May 2015 Having moved back to Atlanta, brunch was one of the things I was looking forward to. Brunch at Marlow's was something on my mind and the bf knew to make it happen or else!! This USED to be a GREAT spot for brunch...as a matter of fact this was my favorite place for Bottomless brunch. Parking deck in the back, patio seating, unpretentious atmosphere and all for a reasonable price of around $30 per person...but my how things have changed: *Bottomless mimosas are no longer available (apparently this changed a year and half ago according to the waitress). They are now $4 each or $18 for a carafe. I mean I get it...ppl took advantage and got DRUNK- I'm guilty....but wasn't that the point?? Come eat, drink, and be merry all for one low price?? I'm sure the bottomless option was cutting into their bottom line but when we walked in today the place was EMPTY!! I even said to my BF "what's going on here....it's empty?" He thought we were just early but it was about prime brunch time- 12:30. *The Buffett....or maybe more appropriately the Brunch Pickings-these had been picked over and over and over. Obviously presentation is not important here. This was just sad....a few banquet style hot dishes that were picked and prodded over. I was excited to see eggs benedict on the offerings table, but appalled to find the poached eggs laying haphazardly on a corner of a grilled to death English muffin. Several benedicts missing the egg, or the Canadian bacon, or the hollandaise (actually I don't recall seeing any hollandaise). It was like a child came in and took all the edible muffins (you needed a steak knife for this one) from the bottom leaving the remaining ingredients in its path. It was just sad all around. Even the person cooking made to order omelets and waffles was sitting down half the time probably thinking of better times at Marlow's. For the lunch lovers of brunch they offered "Salmon" Pasta which seemed like a good idea, but they left out the salmon....perhaps it should have been called "Pasta with an essence of Salmon"?? They also had a sundried chicken dish which looked as appetizing as everything else up there....blah The corn and jack cheese grits were still the winner albeit room temperature, and how good can room temperature grits scrapped out the back corner of the hot dish be (since apparently refilling the food was not a priority)? Overall I give Marlow's 2 stars because I believe in their lunch/dinner menu, but not this BS brunch thing they are now offering. We literally yelped other brunch places while pushing the food around our plates. This really saddened my Sunday. If I were Marlow, I'd scrap brunch or go back to the old ways....no wonder it was so empty and easy to get a table (inside, outside, at the bar...NO WAIT, no wonder).

I've been here a couple of times, mainly for lunch and happy hours since the location is only a block from my office. Overall, I have always had a pleasant experience. The servers are very attentive, the food is satisfying and consistent, and the atmosphere is comfortable! The management constantly walks around to check on guests and their waitstaff, and one can easily tell this is a restaurant whose staff genuinely cares about good business and a creating positive dining experience for their patrons. Try their Black and Blue Salad (a very delicious steak salad) and their Calamari!

Larry G.

We were in Atlanta on business and had a free dinner voucher from the nearby Regency Suites, so we figured we'd try it out. Dinner was very good, service was attentive and very friendly. Even if we didn't have the vouchers, the prices wouldn't have been bad. In fact we liked it so much we went back for lunch the next day.

Bridget K.

Food is just ok. Burger is decent, kale salad is good, calamari is terrible. Service is always fantastic and keeps you coming back. Large bar, great for solo dinners after work. Vibe is relaxed and informal, definitely a slightly more upscale neighborhood bar/ restaurant.

Mansi R.

Marlow's is our go-to restaurant on a chill weekend day or late night. Their food always satisfies the late night craving. I love their firecracker shrimp, fish tacos, grits, and chicken sandwich. The boyfriend is obsessed with their chickpea fries and chicken panini. He wakes up craving those on certain days. Their cocktail and beer selection is great too. They even tried making a lemony michelada with they had Pacifico on tap. It's awesome being able to catch a football game with their doors/windows open facing West Peachtree on a sunny day.

Ummm. FANTASTIC !!! I was meeting a friend there for dinner after work. Amazing atmosphere and our waiter was very friendly. Its nice after a long day of work to have dinner where they play Radiohead's "IN RAINBOWS" cover to cover. (WOOHOO) The manager even brought us a free appetizer for being new visitors....score! Definitely going back.... hopefully on a Monday when they play full albums. I am hoping for KID A or THE BENDS

Raven T.

Some of the best service you'll get in Midtown. I love Marlow's! I always make friends and have great conversations with the staff. They're so sweet and friendly, but also attentive and will go above and beyond without question. I've been coming here for years. Brunch is my favorite. The buffet is worth every penny the $15.99 (I think thats how much it was the last time I went) it costs. Fresh omelettes, salads, fruit, crepes or waffles, along with all the breakfast favorites including biscuits and gravy. If you order from the regular menu you won't be disappointed either. You can indulge in bottomless mimosas (after 12:30pm) for $14.99 as well. Run, don't walk to Marlow's and tell Matt and/or Katie I said hi!

What's not to love about this place? I love it. Free, covered parking and THE very best shrimp and grits in Atlanta. Hands down!! The waitstaff is always prompt, attentive, & nice. I've also tried the honey mustard wings and a side of fries. YES & YES!! The fish tacos were ok but as I mentioned earlier the shrimp & grits reign supreme!!

Everything was delicious! Our waiter and his boss were so freaking sweet! Everyone working there seemed really happy. Their customer service is STELLAR and the food is fantastic! Marlow's will definitely be on the list when ever I am in Atlanta!

I thought this would be "bar food". I was expecting it to be good based on the menu, but I was not expecting what I got! I ended up having the best fish tacos I have ever had in my entire life here! The fish was grilled and seasoned perfectly and they were presented beautifully. I went with the fresh fruit as my side. The price was beyond reasonable given the quality. I think it was around $10-$11 if I remember correctly. I also tried a small bite of the prime rib dip and was in love with that as well. The bread was amazing! We ordered it without the mayo and you couldn't tell. It wasn't dry at all. It was great. I love that they offer various sides. Several people in our party were watching calories and went with salads, fruit and veggies instead of fries or chips. There wasn't even an upcharge. The real thing that kept me stopping by here for a drink any chance I had though was the grapefruit ricky. I have no idea what was in that thing, but it was heaven! If you're a grapefruit fan order it! The service was above and beyond great each time we were here! They really did bend over backwards for us. It seemed to really fill up around dinner time, but they were hustling to get people in quickly.

I had supper with my family here on Friday night. I think that the food was pretty good, but the service that we received was absolutely awful... My party arrived at about 8:15. The restaurant was not packed. For a Friday night in a Midtown restaurant, one could almost classify it as empty. My father and I both ordered the Royale with Cheese, which is a burger made with Wagyu beef. We both wanted the burger cooked medium rare; 15 minutes after we placed the orderthe waitress came back and told us that we could not have our burgers cooked that way with no rhyme or reason. We then changed our order to a regular cheeseburger ADD BACON. It was specifically reiterated ADD BACON. I also switched my cheese. When the food came out, there were various complaints. The bacon cheeseburgers LOW AND BEHOLD had NO BACON!!! The cheese that I selected was also not on my burger. The burger was actually cooked pretty well (shocking)! My brother ordered the buffalo chicken wrap which he said was not very good and lacked buffalo sauce. The fries and appetizers were all pretty decent. To continue on about the service... our drinks were hardly replenished. Always had to wait an extended period for refills or new beers. My dad really politely hinted at the fact that we needed better service multiple times. It got so bad that a few times he had to tell another server to go and find ours. She also seemed to have kind of a bad attitude. Overall, I'm not impressed with this place. Bar food is bar food and I am not a fan of their yuppie interpretation of it. The food was pretty good but not good enough to substantiate me or my family coming back after this terrible experience. Next time, I'll just stay in Sandy Springs and eat at one of the local joints because I know I will receive better service and better food at a cheaper price.

I decided to spend the 4th of July with David K. I am not sure if it was the fireworks or if it was the rain, but everything finally fell into place. We both realize that 1.) We are super compatible and 2.) We are incredibly lazy on holidays. That being said, not a single one of us wanted to make an effort to prepare a meal. Sure, let's go out to eat -that is if you can find a place open on the 4th. David K. actually found out that Marlow's was open and it saved us because we were both starving, yet too stubborn to make something. We went out to Marlow's to find that they were actually pretty busy. Not slammed, but steady even on a Holiday. The service was great. I did not feel neglected once by our server. The food was delicious and Marlow always has really good Pinot Noir (BONUS!). So to end my short Yelp review (because what more can you really say about a chain restaurant?). Thanks Marlow for being open on the 4th of July and Thank You David K. for being my knight and shinning armor and taking me out to dinner.

Just wow. The staff is absurdly friendly. I've never seen a bartender shake every guest's hand and ask for their name either. I ordered the tavern burger and it was great. Great atmosphere, a little on the small size, but definitely a must try.

Sunday night after a Falcons game. Falcons lost.... place was not crowded. Quick service and good food. Had the Bacon Blue Cheese burger. It is a little fancy to be called a tavern and has better food than a REAL Tavern might. Both are positives. Worth a try.

Just had the best experience at Marlow's. Came in by myself, ordered a wine and the fish tacos with the fried asparagus appetizer as my side. The waitress then immediately came back with a complimentary free appetizer (loaded kettle chips) because it was my first time dining here. The food was amazing, the service was very attentive and nice. My waitress, Chelsea, was absolutely lovely. The atmosphere inside was very nice as well. Plenty of TVs and really awesome music. I was really happy with my experience. For $20 I got an appetizer, meal with a side, and a glass of wine. Can't beat that anywhere.

For what it's worth I was pleased with everything. The Tavern has a very nice layout. The staff was very friendly and welcomed me to make myself at home. It's the little things. The shrimp nachos were absolutely amazing. I had to force myself not to eat all of them. Delicious food and Generous portions coupled with reasonable prices is a recipe for success. And 5 stars in my book. Convenient located to the Renaissance.

This place is great. We came for the Sunday brunch, which was the standard fare so we ended up ordering off the menu. My friends ordered the black and blue burger and I ordered the shrimp and grits. The burgers were good but my dish was AWESOME - hands down better than the burgers. I highly recommend it if you come here. There's a parking lot so don't let the location deter you.

I love this place! Consistently great menu items. It changes seasonally so there is often something new to try. Creative, delicious (and strong) cocktails. And in my opinion, the sangria in town. The service is phenomenal. Whenever I come, I feel like a special guest. One of the most memorable items from my recent visit - the Warm Chocolate Cake. But the name is misleading. Yes, it's warm and chocolatey...but cake? It's more like a brownie. And it's huge! It's chewy, and crunchy (from all wonderful pecans) and just plain tasty. I couldn't figure out what made the flavor so unique. Then, I realized it's covered in some kind of honey syrup. All topped off with vanilla ice cream...DELISH!!

Marlow's. Where to begin. Lets start with the raw burger. Ordered a burger there last week, Medium. Came out cool and bloody. Am on interferon so raw meat can kill me in days. They were nice and brought me another burger to take home, but charged me for the burger since I took a bite. No excuse for a patty cooked that short a time. Then this week, while out searching for someplace to eat during the snows of 2014, we see they are open. Full staff from what I can see. Only..they "Don't have anyone on staff that can cook." But that damn bar was open. Everyone made it in to work except kitchen staff. That is not being a good neighbor. put a sign on your door.

I like to think of Marlow's as an upscale 2000's version of TGI Friday's. The menu offers their twist on many traditional bar favorites - like truffled parmesan fries or, their other fries, asparagus fries - be assured though they taste more "frie" than "asparagus." For Mardi Gras, they had a fairly authentic Creole New Orleans menu and I remember ordering E'toufee one year when we stopped in. Service is top notch and the beer selection met our needs. We would usually have this be our starting point and then trek elsewhere in the Midtown 'hood. Enjoy.

I have been here with my dad a handful of times for lunch. It is always enjoyable but I never felt the need to write a review until now. We sat at the bar and the bartender Matt was so friendly and upbeat that it made for a really pleasant lunch. We both got salads which were also delicious, but the service really made the meal! Thanks!

I love this spot! I live in the condos above and frequent this spot a good bit. They always have a great seasonal menu, awesome menu staples, and a plethora of drinks with rotating taps. The food always tastes fresh and well made just for you. The Sunday brunch is nice, although I wish they had more offerings or rotated a few. They also shut down part of 8th street and have outside events for big games, which is a cool and nice change. It is great for a date night or just grabbing a bite to eat with the crew. I take my vegetarian gf there and she loves it as well with a good number of selections of vegetarian items and the ability to special order off the menu for her dietary needs. Kudos to the staff and cooks for that.

Marlowes tavern is one of my favorites. I first learned about this place through my parents who live up in Cumming, GA- they go to the one at the avenues Forsyth. However, my boyfriend and I live in sandy springs so we normally go downtown (great atmosphere), or if we want to stay close to home we go to the one In downtown dunwoody. I chose to do the review on the one downtown because it's really my favorite. Partly because this is just about the only place you can get a quality meal with such a great atmosphere for under $30, and partly because I love how you can sit outside on a nice summer night and enjoy your meal looking down Peachtree at the Atlanta skyline. To drink: I normally get sweet tea or water. The sweet tea is sweet, but not overly done. The waiters and waitresses are almost always coming by, refilling drinks, and checking on you. We have had a few iffy experiences with waiters forgetting about us at the location in dunwoody, but never at the location downtown! For appetizer: We always get asparagus fries. They are only $5. They are crunchy and a little breaded on the outside and come with a thick creamy white sauce. The sauce has flavors of garlic, and is mayo based. I have had both the kettle chips and wings with my parents before and all have vibrant flavors with various toppings you can choose from. To eat: I always get the black and bleu burger. I know, I should probably switch is up and get something different but I like this item choice because it's ALWAYS on the menu. Many items come and go because the menu here is seasonal. However, this burger choice is here to stay. Recently, they raised the price of the burger $1 so it is now $11 (still worth it). The burger is HUGE, is topped with smoked bacon and the Gorgonzola sauce (Which I always order extra of). My side item is the Cesar salad. The salad is topped with roasted tomato and homemade crouton. The Cesar dressing is certainly homemade and it is a great combination with the burger! Each and every time the food we get here is quality. I am fairly picky and have never had to send anything back at marlowes. There was only two times (At the Dunwoody location) that we had questionable service. I love this place and will probably continue to go to marlowes tavern twice a month, unless they raise prices once more.

If you looooooooove brunch buffet's as much as I do YOU MUST try Marlow's Tavern. The buffet options are plentiful and delicious. You can not go wrong here. It is a bit pricey (approximately $16per person), but still worth it. Go with an empty stomach and you will be in waffle/bacon/jalapeno grit heaven! LOL

This is my mom and I's lunch spot! She gets her fish tacos with the amazing cheesy grits and I either order the mouth watering cheese burger or the succulent French dip sandwich. The staff are friendly and they even gave my mom the grits recipe when she asked for it! I thought that was very sweet. Marlow's has forever have our business.

I was introduced to Marlow's Tavern a few years ago and have since been to the Alpharetta location once, the Duluth location MANY times and now the Midtown location. If there is one thing, I can say that the food seems pretty consistent throughout the different locations. My friend had her rehearsal dinner here last weekend, based on my recommendation. The nice thing about this location is that there is free parking in the deck next door. That's rare in the city. We had a group of about 12 and took up two large high-tops. Despite our large group, and our weird ordering (the girls' table ordered apps and entrees like normal people while the guys' table ordered two rounds of apps and entrees much, much later) I think they handled us very well. We got: Ahi Tuna Poke - DELICIOUS. Went well with the fried wonton chips. Fried Green Tomatoes - Good, but not the best FGT I have had. We only got two slices and they were on the small side. I enjoyed the burrata mozzarella on the ciabatta bread though. Also based on my recommendation, most of my table got the Shrimp & Grits. Even though I haven't had this dish in a while, something about it looked different. I feel like they skimped on it or something. Have they always used frozen shrimp in the dish? I can't remember. The sauce was an unappealing shade of bright pastel orange. I don't know, it just wasn't the same anymore. I ate about half before I decided I was done. They don't make great leftovers since the grit cake loses its crispiness and gets very soggy in the sauce. I think this is a solid, OK place to meet up with your friends, have some drinks and more "upscale" bar food and catch the game.

Jessie K.

The ginger skinny margarita was too sweet for me, but when I told the server, she willingly took it away to have it re-made. Tasted better, but meh... not my fav. I ordered the wings. And because I'm a spice whore, I asked if the buffalo style could be made spicier. I emphasized that if "extra spicy" only means "extra sauce" then I'll pass. The server assured me that they'd find a way to make it spicy. I was very impressed. It was spicy, nice and crispy (without the need to order it extra crispy) with just the right amount of vinegar. Mm.... finger-lickin' gooooood. The garlic truffle oil fries are to die for. Really, they're that good. This place serves bar food that's so much more flavorful and delicious. It's as if Marlow had an epiphany one day and said, "Just 'cause it's bar food, doesn't mean it has to be shitty." Thanks, Marlow, I agree completely. Excellent service, tasty treats, and good locations.

This spot is in my building. From the management to the waiters, everyone is damn nice and really inviting. Food is always spot on and while I wish they had more beers on tap they have just about everything I could want in a bottle. Sunday brunch is legit, food and bottomless mimosas always do the trick.
(5)
David K.

I'm really surprised I haven't already written a review because I've been coming here sporadically since they opened a few years ago (including an awesome Yelp event toward the beginning of 2008). The food is consistently great and I have to concur with everyone about the great fish tacos. I'm not really a fan of fish... or tacos for that matter, so it says a lot that I sometimes come here just for a plate of these things. Today I discovered (possibly re-discovered) the chicken queso soup and I practically licked the bowl. I might have been embarrassed, but it's really that good.

Excellent prices, very friendly service at the bar, good beer selection. Had a burger that was slightly above average- they actually cooked it medium rare as I asked. Would definitely come back.

Free parking and quick service. Our bartender was awesome (we sat at the bar) and beers are moderately priced. Sweetwater 420 for $4.75 doesn't seem too horrible when you're in Atlanta at a fine establishment. Work on the servers being a tad bit nicer and you've got yourself a regular. Cheers!

Great burger and fries! My double cheese cheese burger (single patty, double cheese), was cooked perfectly and was very tasty. The fries were seasoned perfectly. Will definitely eat here again.

I like it. It's in a nice location in Midtown near Georgia Tech Square. They got a nice outdoor seating area and you can watch good looking and pretty Atlantans running/walking by. I had a black and blue steak salad. It was a quality steak salad, with crisp greens and tomatoes with a light dressing. I was kind of surprised by how good it was. Service was decent. Not a bad job Marlow!
(4)
Jennie K.

Game effing over. The summertime only menu included a watermelon margarita, but since tequila and I don't mix, the wonderful bartender concocted something rum and watermelon-y that was delicious. And then some. I gulped that awesomeness down. And just to be more picky, I had their "black and blue" salad without the "blue" (the bleu cheese dressing). I substituted caesar's dressing and had a wonderfully medium tenderloin with it. YUM. I think they're a bit pricy for bar food, but I'd rather pay a few bucks more 1337'ness than 1/2 the price for inedible appetizers.

Need to update their hours of operation because it states they close at 12am on Sunday but when I called at 11pm to place an order, they said they were closed. Not a happy camper

Pretend it's the foodie SAT's and complete the following: Kim B :: Marlow's Tavern Midtown as CN :: ____ If you said Pub 71, you get a gold star! Her local fave place for bar food and drinks (kiddies even allowed, because the food suits all palates) was introduced to me today and I'm a fan. [Yes, I can still write about she-of-the-recent departure, and will do so with pleasure and honor] This is my favorite Marlow's by far! Kennesaw's pretty cool but way too far off my usual beaten path, and Cumberland's just ok. But W. Peachtree's very cool. Reasons: 1 Free parking in a busy part of town. 2 Cool and friendly bartenders. 3 Ahh-mazing "Toasted Cheese" - really, one of the best grilled cheeses I've had and y'all KNOW how I feel about my grilled cheese sammies. Grilled focaccia (a light version that I adored) with fontina, provolone and marscapone and a bowl of marinara for dipping. Cut into the cutest, tastiest triangles. GET THIS!!! 4 Really yummy fried okra app. Very lightly battered. Delicious. 5 Very cool and inviting space. 6 Bakon vodka for great bloody mary's and a delicious twist on a drink I've only had at Dantanna's, the Dark & Stormy - Marlow's Spring Drink Menu includes a "Mango Dark & Stormy." Tasty and juuuust strong enough. A-OK! 7 Fun and cute local businessmen also out for drinks on a pretty afternoon. Not bad when you have a determined friend playing matchmaker. Sold. I shall return, whenever asked. Or whenever I can talk the Missus K. B. into an afternoon of hooky.

Do not visit this establishment if you are parking. I live above so it's convenient. I have had two seperate friends eat and drink there and get their car booted when walking out. Marlows is completely unhelpful despite happily taking our cash earlier in the night. Pure extortion save yourself some trouble go somewhere else.

Regularly coming here for years..great place to hang out and the food was pretty good. Last three times I came the bar staff was just not the same. Usually friendly they ignore you a bit. Takes a long time for service. Also, my soup was awful they also got rid of my chopped salad which was superior to the other salad options. The place I loved is still in there just needs to get everyone back on same page.

mike p.

Totally fine place, if unexceptional. Very limited number of beers on tap, unfortunately, but decent can/bottle selection if you're into that (I'm not - hate to get anything not on tap when I go out and have a beer). Corn Jalapeno grits were pretty good. Turkey burger was fine, not a lot of meat, but goat cheese in it was pretty good. Service was good and attentive.

Charice W.

I went here today with 2 friends for Sunday brunch...after a long week I decided bottomless mimosas were in order. This was my first time ever at Marlow's and ultimately I was impressed. We got there a little before 12 and only had to wait about 20 minutes but it was already starting to get packed. The only reason why I knocked a couple of stars off is because the buffet was constantly out of food! They were super slow replenishing it and that irked my very hungry nerves. Once I did get the food though it was delish. I tried just about everything eventually and it was all good. Our waiter (Mike) was great and kept the mimosas flowing buuut they were just ok. All in all I would definitely return but not after trying out some other brunch spots around the city.

Erica D.

The kid's mac n' cheese is some of the best in all of midtown. And NO they won't look at you funny when you order it because so many do! The brother of the manager always orders a double batch, hammered. Great people watching. Seasonal menu is always better than the regular menu. I want the giant bottle of Silver Oak up on the window sill but its a bit pricey...

Kristin K.

Got seated pretty quickly in the lunchtime rush. Decent sized space with a generous bar area. They also have outdoor seating. Menu is pretty much what you'd expect for a tavern. I was eying the pecan encrusted chicken salad but decided to be naughty and went for the burger. I mean, it is a tavern after all; I need to judge this burger/fry combo. Ordered the burger medium well but it definitely came well done and was a little on the dry side. My bf ordered his medium and with pepper jack cheese, and neither materialized on his plate. Overall, not a bad burger though. The fries were excellent. What bumped up this review to an extra star was the fact that the waitress was super friendly and both she and the hostess checked on us right away to ask how everything was, and they actually appeared to care. I intend to go back and check out that tempting salad and a drink or two.

Dina L.

Went here to simply watch the Ohio state game. Did not think about eating but then got there and ordered the shrimp and crab nachos which were amazing! Also ordered the famous hummus w/ veggies and no bread and it was great too, we were given so much veggies that we ordered more hummus for only 3 bucks! I had the ahi tuna salad for main entree and they split it for two since me and my boyfriend were sharing which was also GREAT. All around great and awesome service.
(5)
Michelle B.

Went here tonight specifically for the Mardi Gras menu and wasn't disappointed. Our bartender Matt was helpful and enthusiastic (he shares my love of Carnivale and all things NOLA) so he led us in the right direction. They've got standards (gumbo, jambalaya) but the crawfish fondue hit the right spot. So did the special burger, topped with andouille and crawfish, please the palate. Put me in the right spot to celebrate the day. Ok, the Hurricane helped too.

Veronica D.

Great prime rib sandwich. My son did not like the pizza and he loves pizza but he did eat half my sandwich. Poor service. I have a hungry toddler I asked for crackers anything to get him happy so others could enjoy their dinners but no went to the bar and got bar fruit to hold him till he got food. Plus just cause I'm not drinking and it's me and a baby the waiter could of come over a couple times to check on us.

Good restaurant & bar with reasonable prices and a typical menu: burgers, sandwiches, salads, and a few more interesting items. Big plus for this Midtown restaurant is free garage parking, is shared with Publix and other businesses, accessible from 8th St. You can park right near the back door of Marlow's.

I've been to this Marlow's Tavern a handful of times, usually before or after going across the bridge to Alexander Memorial Coliseum for a Georgia Tech men's basketball game. I've been to this location for both lunch and dinner and each time, whether it's the weekend or a weekday, the restaurant is slammed. This is a popular hangout. There are six other Marlow's Tavern locations in metro Atlanta. The interior of Marlow's is a bit more upscale and modern than a traditional tavern or pub. The kitchen is open and there is a variety of seating, ranging from high top communal tables near the bar to large booths on the opposite side of the restaurant. The decor is nice and overall, there's a laid back vibe. There are plenty of flat panel TV displays mounted near the ceilings around you, which is a great thing for sports fans. You can definitely come here to catch a game. On nice days, the wall of windows facing the patio on West Peachtree are folded upwards like an accordion, opening the restaurant up to the beautiful weather. The menu offers typical bar and tavern food: appetizers (such as fries, chips and dip, wings, and hummus), salads, sandwiches and wraps, and burgers. They also offer entrees such as meatloaf, trout, and short ribs, although there isn't anything too unique or special. Prices are fairly reasonable. The presentation of the food is nicer and more creative than a typical bar. I've always enjoyed the burgers here, which are cooked and customized to order. My only gripe is I've had pretty soggy buns come out on the burgers here. Burger plates usually come with a side of fries, but you can substitute any number of sides if you don't want fries. You can swap in healthier options such as salads and fruit, which is what I've done in the past. A good one to try, though not necessarily healthy, is the fried okra. They batter and fry their okra whole. The pieces come out big, fluffy, and crispy. Yum. The service has always been very good and I've never had any issues. You can park for free in the building's parking deck. That's always a plus in this area of town.

This place is great. The seafood nachos are delicious, but greasy. I had a steak and also the fish tacos. The S'mores dessert was amazing. After the first visit, my friend and I returned for a second time within a week. :) Service was also great! We will be going back even though we try to visit different restaurants. Free parking in midtown is also a major plus.

I visited the bar once, but I usually go for the sunday brunch buffet. That sunday brunch buffet, it will surprise you . It's not like an all inclusive brunch buffet (like a cruise) but the options are pretty good. I usually just hit up the biscuits and gravy, omelette station, the stuffed french toast. There are plenty of other options from grits to a salmon pasta dish. Usually service is pretty good once you can get a table and the servers are kind. A big plus is the garage attached to the building which offers free parking.

Stephanie H.

I've been here a couple of times for happy hour because it's close to the office & one of our group's hotels. It gets really busy at happy hour times. Really busy. We've ended up eating most of the appetizers menu, but I haven't eaten dinner there so I can't comment on that. I did try the Marlow's "BLT" Bloody Mary and I wasn't impressed. It didn't taste all that bacon-y to me. As for food, the truffle fries are small to an order but very good. The Kettle chips are OMG good, but I do love the blue cheese and if you don't, well, you won't like them much. They can get messy, but I'll sacrifice neatness for the deliciousness of the cheese. Calamari is good but not the best I've had. The hummus is good and I love that it comes with a stack of veggies with it. Asparagus Fries are a bit on the greasy side, but that could be because we let them sit too long. Goat Cheese "French Toast" was OMG good too - we liked them so much we ordered a second round. It's only 4 pieces so it's hard to split with a large group. We'll come back, some for the convenience and some for the Goat Cheese French toast, because holy cow, that goat cheese-y french toasty delight is the stuff dreams are made of.

I think I ate a bomb sandwich a few minutes ago? I want to say it was a...? Prime rib French dip! Well, I've been drinking so let's be honest, you shouldn't base your opinion of this place based on this review. The drinks are shit. Pretty sure I just drank a cup of ice that was supposed to be a Moscow mule. The beer is good but isn't it everywhere? The waitress was cool. So let's recap: Prime rib Sandwich is good. Drinks are shit. Beer is good. Waitress it good. Atmosphere is...a lot of old people. Overall...5 stars!!! Yelp!

I'm giving this place 2 stars because our waitress was a sweetie. I ordered a Double Cheeseburger and it wasn't good at all. I told the waitress I wanted it done, but not charred and sure enough it was charred. I ate the parts I didn't pick off and it lacked flavor. The tea I had was very weak as well. I didn't know what to expect from this place. I was in the neighborhood and decided to stop by since I had not ate all day. The restaurant itself is nice, as well as the patio. The only thing I liked were the fries.

Cherie W.

Well, if I got a waitor or waitress, that'd be a good start. I know the food is decent enough, but to find good service is a gem that always doesn't happen here. I've been here many times to know the service is very so-so. If you have time to spare, enjoy. If you want to be served in a reasonable timeframe, skip this place because the food is not so signature that it's a must go to.

Absolutely wonderful. Clean, professional, we'll set up tavern. The cocktails are made just right with lots of options. The food is made to your preference. This place is highly recommended for a good time and great food.

Looking for a spot to grab a bite, fire up my laptop and catch a few games before heading out of town, I stumbled upon Marlow's Tavern shortly after checking out of my hotel, The setup worked for me; spacious and clean yet still a bit cozy. I was quickly greeted and escorted to a booth where I was promptly approached by Corey, my awesome server. He was attentive, pleasant and friendly without being overbearing or disruptive. I swear, I must have drank an entire liter of Diet Coke thanks to Corey, Whenever my Diet Coke was even running relatively low, I would turn around and Corey had already replaced it with a fresh one. I ordered the two mini sliders from the Kid's Menu and a side of parmesan truffle fries and within 15 minutes or so, these bad boys were placed directly in front of me. The fries were so insanely delicious that I felt my eyes cross after tasting the first one. I know that may not sound very sexy, but think of it as a very mild food orgasm. Just, with crossed eyes, instead of curled toes. I was also really pleased to find that the mini burgers were small, but still hefty enough to completely fill me up. I guess everything *is* bigger in the south!

Fabulous starters and excellent fish tacos. Service was friendly and prompt. Waitress was very knowledgable about the menu and made some genuine recommendations. I highly recommend this place. I am just visiting Atlanta and am glad to have stopped by here.

I am a recent convert to Marlow's. This is my go-to spot for late night dining in the city. The burgers here are the best I've had in Atlanta (and I've had plenty!). Why? -When you say medium rare, it arrives medium rare. [other reviewers here report ordering medium results in well done, but we haven't experienced that in our 3 visits here] -Big meaty portion -Fresh vine-ripened tomato, none of that grainy orange stuff you get everywhere else -Good variety of delicious cheese options -Rotating side dishes that surprise me. In addition to their salty-sweet fries, their batter-fried whole okra and deep fried mac n' cheese balls were delicious and crispy. -Great value The service has always been good, and there's never trouble getting a table later in the evening.

We were there on a Friday during prime dinner time. The restaurant was hopping! We ordered the calamari and bourbon cocktails to start. My husband got the rib special and I got one of the burgers. We were not disappointed. Our server was perfect, even gave us a few recommendations for places to have after dinner drinks. I'll definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone!

Went here for an evening meal as reviews were generally good. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. Whilst the service was good the food wasn't. Steak was dry and chips tasted like they had been cooked, cooled, cooked again and left on the side for a while. I would not eat here again.

What a horrendous experience. First off, it's gonna take me a while to type this up, cause I have to keep running to the bathroom every two minutes. I feel like John Hurt in Alien except it isn't ripping out of my chest cavity. At this moment, I almost wish it was. The good - free parking in lot behind the restaurant. Decor is fine for a dark dive college bar. The drinks were okay in taste. The servers are friendly and courteous and try their best. But unfortunately for them, you can't polish a turd. The bad - Notice how short the good list was? Let's start with the bartenders. They were at best half full on a weekday night when I went, which of course means HALF EMPTY. There were 2 or 3 bartenders and the bar was not slammed. If that is what they would say, they don't know what slammed is. I ordered a gin job. I started playing on my iPhone, as I was alone, and suddenly as my battery was dying, realized I had not gotten my drink. Guys who ordered drinks next to me and behind me both got served. I asked about it, and a busboy told me that the bar was slammed. When I pointed out the other tables had gotten their drinks ahead of me, he simply said if he could go behind the bar and make the drink he would. The only drink I got quickly all night was the draught beer. The house sangria and a vodka martini took long, as well. Here's a side story that doesn't involve me before I get back to me. The menu literally has a tongue in cheek list on the back called HOUSE RULES, and number two says "the customer is almost always right... okay, ALWAYS". Yet, I heard a waitress bring three credit cards for a group's table and heard the manager (sporting a George Michael's trim beard) tell her, "ONE CARD PER TABLE!" Guess the customer has very little chance of being right ALWAYS. Back to moi. I started with an appetizer, and I really think this was the stomach murdering Alien culprit. The shrimp and lobster drip with toasted pita bread. Just typing it made my head swoon sickly. It tasted okay, but not amazing. I would say mediocre and something I wouldn't order again if I had ever gone back. I then ordered the Rustic Grilled Cheese with bacon with fries. Fries were just fine. The sandwich, not so much. The bread is heavily coated in a chili flake powder before cooking. It says this, and while it sounded good, it was way too over powering. Then there is the fact that there was only one piece of limp bacon going through the middle of each side of the sandwich. The other 2/3's had NO BACON on either side of either side of the sandwich. LAME! But worst of all was the cheese combination. I bit into the first bite and was completely confused by the flavor combination. It did not work at all. And the cheese dripping out was already congealed fully on the plate, which means the sandwich was dying in the window for some reason (waiting on fries or an overly busy waitress; I can't tell you. All I know is the cheese was congealed to the plate and the fries near it. When it was put down on my table.) I was going to simply label the place mediocre, but the immense rectal pain I have experienced since I got home has to bring it down as far as it can go. Something was rotten in the State of Denmark and now something is rotten in the state of my colon.

I have always had a pleasant experience at Marlow's and I've been a regular visitor at this location for a couple years now. The waitstaff is well-trained. Every server I've had is always prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. I've never had to wait too long for anything and the food has always tasted great. (I haven't had a single complaint about any of my food at Marlow's.) Secret tip: If it says "Shocktop" on the beer list, it's actually Blue Moon that you will get. They may have changed the menu since, but just a head's up. Sunday Brunch: Their brunch buffet and bottomless mimosas are great, but if you don't want to wait an hour to be seated, get there early. It's always packed at brunch time! Try the shrimp and crab nachos--they're a winner. Super friendly, super fast, super delicious. They always take good care of you at Marlow's.

Get the garlic fries. You will not regret it. The place is basically an upscale version of Manual's Tavern, within walking distance of Tech campus. The service is above average and the staff seems to care about the experience.

The wife and I had a great experience here. Our server was Ricky. A real nice, welcoming and friendly guy who is also very knowledgeable on the menu. The wife and I shared a plate of Buffalo wings for a starter. Now, we always eat wings, we have eaten wings all over Atlanta, these wings were definitely the best Buffalo wings we've had in the city. The blue cheese dip you get with them was their home made recipe and it was also really good. Our main courses were really good too, I had the Steak Frites, medium well (see picture) and my wife had had the Blackened fish Tacos. They looked awesome and my wife thoroughly enjoyed them. Ricky was very good in making sure we were OK and our food was good, he helped me decide what to get as I'd never tried Bison before, and they apparently do an awesome Bison Burger, I will be trying that the next time I go.

I loved this place, even though my bf was not impressed. We sat at the bar, but their seating areas are really nice too. There are plenty of tv's around to watch whatever sporting event tickles your fancy. The bartender was great! She was super helpful in helping us decide on drinks and an entree. We even got a chance to sample the gumbo before committing to it. It was decent. I don't believe in eating cajun food when not in Louisiana. It's just not the same. I ordered the fish tacos with a side of grit cakes. The tacos were very light and refreshing. Different from any fish tacos I've ever tasted before. The grit cake was too heavy to be paired with the tacos, so I didn't like them. My cocktail was a blueberry something, and it was amazing!!! I would have had 3 or 4 if I had more time to relax. Overall seems like a cool place. It was slow when we went. I will definitely be back soon.

Wow! I'm actually really impressed by Marlow's. I'm surprised at myself that I'm giving a standard tavern a 5-star review, but the experience and food really was incredible. Our waiter was amazing, so attentive and on-top-of-it. I ordered the grilled chicken panini, which was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I know, you're thinking, "Seriously, give me a break." But this went above and beyond the standard chicken panini - fresh tomatoes, perfect balance of mozzarella, deliciously-seasoned chicken, spinach, and a melty mayo to top it off. The bread itself was crispy and chewy in all the right places. The fries that came with it were incredible. I almost feel like I've smoked something I shouldn't while writing this review, because I'm craving that panini again right now, as though it's four inches away from my face. It's that good. Oh, right, back to the restaurant. The parking situation isn't great, so come prepared for that. But the atmosphere is a casual tavern environment (love) and the noise level is about what you'd expect. The tipping point here is really the food. You. Must. Try. It.

It was a very very cold Saturday evening in Atlanta. The temperature was 32 degrees with wispy winds lifting the tails of our coats. The Atlanta parking meter machines were working at a level to be expected. It took multiple attempts to navigate through the meter machines while freezing outside of Marlows. However once we were finally inside, the mood took an upswing. We started off with an appetizer. Now, I have been to Marlows before and have enjoyed their food but noticed something new on the menu. "Goat Cheese French Toast" Interesting! I'm all about new things so we tried it. The goat cheese French toast is to die for! It literally melts in your mouth on contact. It was arranged on a long plate with six wedge pieces filled with goat cheese, tomato bacon jam, and syrup. This made the night and you have to try it. For my main course I ordered the lettuce wrap burger. It is a good choice for you out there who prefer low carb diets. I tried it because I was skeptical that it could hold itself together wrapped around a burger and toppings. It did the trick and it also did not leave a heavy feeling in my stomach typical of a traditional burger. The only downside to the experience was that their espresso machine was not functioning. That would have been the ideal drink before braving the cold temperatures lingering outside of the door. Our bartender "Megan" did an excellent job serving us as we'll as accurately describing the menu and food we ordered. Kudos to her.

Had a late dinner here after poker at the Vortex. Glad that they serve food late. I had always wanted to try this place out and was so happy to get the chance. I ordered a Tavern burger. It was just the right size and VERY tasty. One of my happier burger experiences. The people next to us were commenting on how good they thought our burgers looked. Thankfully they tasted as good as they looked. I got a salad instead of fries cause I was trying to be healthy. The salad was good. But I do want to try out their fries sometime. I ordered a vodka cranberry which was large and made very well. I was very happy about that, as well. Nice service staff. I can't wait to try it out again.

No question I'd be ordering a burger based on the reviews - plus it'd been a while since I had a burger, I was craving fries, and my friend said the burgers were the best thing on the menu. I'd been to the Marlow's in Vinings and gotten a salad (poorly executed & disappointing "Black & Blue Steak Salad") so I knew better this time. I got the "Black & Blue Burger" which had Gorgonzola & Applewood smoked bacon on a toasted sesame kaiser roll ($10). Comes with fries. I ordered it "medium well" and my burger was pretty charred. After picking off the charred parts, the burger tasted pretty good. Would've made a note to self to order "medium" next time except my friend with the "medium" burger said his was more rare than he expected. Guess that means I'll have to ask for something between "medium" & "medium-well" next time. Fries were a little disappointing - they looked like they might have stayed in the fryer too long :( Otherwise service was friendly. Great atmosphere. FREE parking garage. I'd still recommend getting the burgers - but maybe use descriptive words about how you want your burger done :)

Monika D.

I have very many fond memories of Marlow's, the food was decent, noise level bearable, and the bar was pretty well stocked of craft beers, palatable wines, and okay mixed drinks. My only reason as to why I will not be dining here is they took the Sage Turkey Truffle Meatloaf off the menu!!! By far the best dish they served. Sure the rest of the menu is good, but nothing really sings out with originality. In case I was starving and on deaths door from thirst I would go, but I would not go out of my y to eat here when there are so many diverse and creative eateries in the Midtown area.

Had my first Marlow's experience last night for a football game. Food was great; atmosphere was great. Good times. Didn't know about the free parking, but there was ample street parking ($2/hr, max 4 hours). Service was great, but one of the group members also frequents there almost daily (I think!)... The reason for missing a star is because I had problems with the drinks; I don't like to taste the liquor in drinks, and when I ordered the "mixed" drinks they were pretty clear (i.e. STRONG). Sent them back, and finally ordered off the menu with Patrick (BTW, Patrick is AWESOME!). Got my drink concoctions fixed, and all was right in my world! :) At any rate, their apple crisp is delish, and the staff are great. Check it out!

A new staple in Midtown Dining. Located on the street level of Plaza Midtown Residential Condo Building, you always feel welcome and walk in knowing that your favorite sports team will be on at least one of the many flat screen TVs around the restaurant. I never get tired of the variety of fare here even though I come here once a week and live directly above. Weekend Brunch is a favorite here with a hot and cold buffet and bottomless mimosas. Enjoy your first of many trips here.

I went here for a quick bite before the Elite event and I wasn't disappointed. I parked myself at the bar and was quickly served by the barkeep. I opted for the sampler platter which was hummus, firecracker shrimp, and nachos. It came out fairly quickly, which was nice. The bartender also called me "sweetie" which made the Southern girl with a penchant for using pet names with complete strangers in me very happy. The hummus was some of the best I've had and I'm super picky with hummus. I knew it was real because I bit into a piece of chickpea. Good times. The shrimp was equally good with a nice kick to it. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the nachos. Of course, two out of three isn't bad at all. The hummus and shrimp were definitely enough to keep me happy. It also wasn't a bad price for the area. I doubt you could get out of most places for $17 with tip for dinner. I'd definitely go back.

We stayed in Atlanta for 10 days and wanted to try a bunch of new places to eat, but ended up going to Marlow's 5 times. Food and service were both great all the times we went. Highly recommend the asparagus fries appetizer, my cousin ate the buffalo chicken wrap multiple times. Can't wait to go back to Marlow's next year.

I have gone here regularly since this location opened (I started my Marlow's obsession with their first location in Alpharetta when IT opened) and love it. The people are wonderful. The folks who have worked there for years know me, and know I almost always order the steak salad...in fact "Steak Salad" is my nickname. :) I have converted many of my friends and my boyfriend to steak salad addicts as well. I've tried many other items over the years and they're all wonderful. The fries are fabulous, and the creme brulee is to die for. The bartenders are fabulous (Larry and Ashley have been around forever and are like old friends!). When I'm alone or eating with my boyfriend, I always eat at the bar because they're so friendly and fun. This place is my home away from home.

Sarah O.

The best thing about this Marlow's location is the scene - very attractive people. I went for Sunday brunch showed up around 12 and was very lucky to get seated (I saw some people waiting for what seemed to be an hour). The brunch had slim pickings - no frills- and they ran out of desserts. They had sausage, bacon, pancakes, waffles, an omelette station, a few random salad ingredients, biscuits and gravy. The best dish by far was the salmon pasta salad. Bottomless mimosas came regularly in carafes which was nice but went quickly at a table of 6. Staff was very friendly.

Geoff G.

Went here on a business lunch with some colleagues on a suggestion. The place has a very nice atmosphere, lots of young professional types, active bar, dark wood, B&W photos on the wall...nice style. Parmesan truffle fries for an app. Lots of sliced parmesan and truffle oil on freshly prepared, rough-cut fries. Steak salad w shaved onion and mixed greens for the entree. This was bigger than it looked, and had a decent amount of properly cooked (medium) very tender steak. Fish tacos looked to be Tilapia with a kind of Cajun blackening and a black bean and corn relish. Two served on the entree...Not as good as my salad. I would eat here again.

Marlow's is the definition of A-OK: I really don't have any complaints, but there's nothing about the spot that really urges me to come back. The beer list is solid, the food is better than your average bar fare, and the service is super friendly. On my most recent visit, I had a grilled chicken sandwich that wasn't exemplary but totally fit the bill. I asked for a side of asparagus and received about 7 measly little spears, they looked pretty pathetic on my plate. The truffle fries were certainly tastier, but not so good for my waistline. The service, however, is where I feel that Marlow's really shines. A manager came by to check on us, everyone made sure to say goodbye when we left, and our server was on the ball and polite enough to let us catch up and provided refills for a much longer period than there was food on the table.

I have been here a few times and like the atmosphere. It's in a convenient location and there is plenty of free covered parking available, which is a rarity in the city. On my last visit I had the California Steak Wrap. The steak pieces were medium rare, just the way I like although there was gristle on a couple of pieces which I tossed aside. The fresh avocado and chipotle vinaigrette were a nice blend with the steak, tomato, onion and lettuce. I ordered handcut fries as my side and received a generous portion. They were served hot, as they should be. The service was excellent, and the food was good but nothing to rave about. The location, atmosphere and service of this location earns Marlows four stars, but the food, in my opinion, brings it down to three.

Alison B.

Enjoyed a few cocktails here with a few other yelpers (Gretchen O., Adam R. and Angela Y.) before heading out to the Twisted Taco Halloween party and had a great time! Cat the bartender was very friendly and mixed a well crafted drink. Her timing was spot on and we never waited more than a moment or two for a drink. Sampled the truffle fries - quite hot, crispy and appropriately salty with an essence of truffle that was happily not overpowering as I am very sensitive to the scent (but not taste) of truffles. The hummus platter was excellent- garlicky and smooth hummus, plenty of grilled pita points which were chewy and delicious as well as some vegetables as a nod to a healthier bar snack option!

Christine Y.

Nicer inside than the typical bar/restaurant. Delicious chicken Caprese salad and buffalo chicken wrap. My side salad had rather huge chunks of lettuce - had to cut them up with my knife to eat it, which is unusual. Ideal and popular work lunch spot, with an ideal location.

This is entirely a review of their Sunday Brunch. The place is neat and centrally located with parking in the enclosing structure. So all good news. We went there for Sunday brunch to try something new. It is not widely advertised and as such it was no surprise that only one other party was there, so a not exactly a busy restaurant. In reality the Brunch is a buffet with a good rich selection. You can also have eggs prepared to order. The food is good, so above average quality and there is quite a variety of fruit, scrambled eggs, pancakes, ... Not bad. The service was SLOW and I mean SLOW. It took 3-5 minutes to get any service and our coffee arrived 15 minutes later. One would expect that coffee for brunch is not a surprise. Here it was. The brunch is ~$20 / person which is quite expensive. In comparison to the J. Christopher 1/2 block away it is much more expensive. The food is of similar quality but the services and prices are much worse here. Next time proceed a little further down the road and get richer variety in food at a lower price and with better service.

I love this place. Everything on their menu is delicious. Service for the most part is great, decent prices. I think it's upscale "bar food", it really surpasses that label though. Love the tavern salad, fries, honey jack salmon, shrimp, calamari- literally everything I've had is fantastic. A little dark inside but lighting isn't really a deal breaker or much of a distraction for me. Some locations have happy hour, some don't- they all should I'm my opinion. But that aside, it's great!

Visited Marlow's earlier this year before attending a play at the Fabulous Fox. I wish my Marlow's experience had been fabulous, but alas, it wasn't. We had gone for the brunch buffet, but after walking through and seeing all of the depleted warming dishes and the lukewarm-looking remnants, I quickly changed my mind, opting for the "Everything and the Kitchen Sink Burger" minus tomato. I specifically asked the waiter to have the chef make mine medium well. The spouse ordered the same, but well-done. 20+ minutes later, after watching our friends rue their decision to forage the buffet, our server returns with our burgers. I quickly removed the bun to inspect the meat, which to my consternation, was charred black. Giving the chef the benefit of the doubt, I bit into it, and all I could taste was charcoal. Quickly summoning the waiter, I had him return this inedible monstrosity to the kitchen. An additional 20 minutes later, he returned with another burger, less burnt on the outside, but with that same overcooked taste on the inside. Having been in the place for an hour and ten minutes already, I charged it to the game, choked down the horrid sandwich. By the way, another reviewer described the bun as soggy...Absolutely right! It was a chore keeping it together to hold the meat. The fries were the saving grace- not as tasty as Gordon Biersch and definitely in a meager portion, but still passable. I doubt I'll go to this place again, and I sure won't recommend it to anyone else. If, on the off chance, I experience a lapse of amnesia and find myself there, I'll skip the burgers and brunch, and go for the French Dip.

Dayna F.

This place is darn good. The Kettle chips with bacon and Gorganzola was fan-freaking-tastic. We could have eaten a second portion. I really liked my Burger, the Black and blue, my companions was a little underdone. I subbed the fries for the grilled asparagus, and didn't regret it at all. Plus it's a 2 minute walk from the Marriott and all the employees recommended it.

our hotel two blocks away provided a $20 voucher to dine at marlow's so we decided to give it a try. the atmosphere was nice and we were seated quickly. we ordered burgers which were so-so. the best part of the meal was the grit cake as a side. it was so creamy, crispy, and delicious! i would order a couple of orders as a meal if i ever returned. seriously the best grits ever prepared in an unconventional way. side note: i never like grits.

When I feel like hiding out, keeping it low key Marlow's Tavern is my go to place. It's casual but classy. The food is great and sometimes they'll have bands performing out on the patio. A really good "chill" place to be.

Cara B.

I feel like I have friends that will hate me for this review, but I just don't seem to get it. The food is really hit and miss here. I've had really good experiences followed up by really bad ones. I have a friend who swears by their fish tacos. My guy ordered them when we went here on a date. He almost had trouble finishing them. The cheapo tacos at taqueria del sol are better (and a 1/3rd of the price). I have a bit of a crazy food diet at the moment, so I had a very limited set of options and decided to try their caesar salad and throw some salmon on top. Now I know that the chefs of the world would tell me that my first mistake was ordering a salad with salmon randomly thrown on top, but I was hungry and knew a salad alone wouldn't be enough. The salad itself was decent. The salmon was inedible. The rub used on the salmon tasted like pure salt and was very overwhelming. It took a lot for me to eat it. Did I mention that my biggest problem with Marlows is the price? Yes the food is probably reasonably described as upscale bar food, but it's not good enough to warrant the price. I am giving them 3 stars because of past experiences. Stick to the burger menu, and you'll be fine. For some reason, maybe it's the odd flavor reminiscent of goldfish (I'm not kidding), I love their fries. They are light, airy, and delicious! Oh and don't forget their cocktails. The bartenders really know their stuff!

This place is average. It is in a great spot and has a very big menu. It gets PACKED at lunch and then service goes downhill and you may wait a while for food. Food is average, prices are average. Popular spot in the area. I would go earlier or later....its standard.

Marlow's is a nice place - a good local hang out. The atmosphere is very inviting, with nice big comfortable booths and stools. The service is friendly and attentive. I've mostly just had beer, but what little food I've had has been good, just not that memorable. Also, the Marlow's Nip (coffee with chocolate liqueur and Kahlua) was a great way to warm up on a cold, wet, winter's night. Also, bonus - free parking in the lot under the building. UPDATE: 4/11/08. We went here to eat the other night before the baseball game, and I must say I did not like the appetizers that my dining companions chose. The hummus was delicious, but the shrimp and crab nachos and buffalo wings just didn't do it for me. One thing I love about nachos is the crispy chip, and the chips were soggy from all the oil of the cheese. The cheese did not balance well with the shrimp and crab. The wing sauce was ok, but the wings were dry. Also, the homemade blue cheese dressing tasted more like ranch to me. The atmosphere was great with the windows open, so that made up for our poor choices. Also, it was ladies' night (Wednesdays after 5) and there were drink and appetizer specials that seemed like good deals to me.

As my friend who lives in the Plaza condos above this place, this is like the resident's "Cheers". And I don't live there.. but it is a pretty cool. I love the decor in here, especially when they decorate for different holidays, there are plenty of TV's without feeling like a trashy sports bar. The bartenders and waiters are personable and attentive, and the food is REALLY good! Especially their black bean burger, and their fries. But pretty much everything I've ever gotten here has been super tasty. They have a long bar and plenty of high tops and booths, but it can get pretty packed when there are events nearby in the city. But that's a good thing, right? I have always met new, nice people when I go here. I hear they have a kick-ass brunch too, but I've only been there for mimosas O.o

Just had a really good lunch here. 1st time in. Had the special of the day: tempura fried shrimp tacos. Very tasty. Best part to me was the fries. Sooooo yummy! I couldn't stop until I'd had all of them but a couple scraps. Not sure what was on them, but they alone will make me go back. Other dishes at my table (all were enjoyed) were the fish tacos, the salmon, & the chicken panini. Can't speak to apps or desserts b/c we didn't try any. Service was good; drinks kept filled & she checked back on us a couple times. Will return!

Skrimps & Grits was amazing as expected. My buddy I went with had a burger and said it was one of the best he's had--a good sign from a seasoned burger eater. Our waitress was prompt, witty, and very cheerful. She kept our drinks full and smiles glued on our faces. Wonderful. See you again soon, Marlow's.

Sunday Brunch. Don't waste your time unless you have a lot of it. Food was good. Particularly the grits. But they make one batch at a time with a serving for 4. The wife and I went on Sunday and we sat at the bar. It took a few minutes for the bartender to acknowledge us. Once she did, we ordered our drinks and said we were going to do the buffet. I had the bottomless mimosa, the wife had a bloody mary. The mimosa are puored into a plastic kool aid pitcher with a brand of champange that I've never seen or heard of. By the time we came back we had no silverware and had to ask the other bartender for some. Don't recall the name of our bartender. After we were midway through our first serving, she introduced herself as our bartender. A little late for that! Back to the buffet. We went to the buffet and of the 8 or 9 trays of buffet food, only 3 actually had food in them. Expecting that more was quickly on the way, we waited on eggs, bacon, pancakes, grits, salmon pasta and chicken sausage for about 5 minutes. When the single runner came out, he only had a small pan of grits (garnished and all) but a serving size that was quickly gone with the first 5 people waiting in line. I managed to get a little out of the corner of the pan. Each time we went up, over half the items would be empty. We spent over an hour before we could actually get a sample of all the items. It took at least 6 trips to be able to get through all the items. After 3 trips with no salmon pasta, I asked the "single" runner if there was going to be anymore pasta coming out. His standard answer as with every other item that they ran out of was "5 minutes". However, he did stop by the bar to let me know he was taking a small pan pasta out and I followed him just to get a bit before it ran out again. I've never seen a buffet stay so depleted. Until I read a review where that problem is fixed, we won't be returning.

Probably one of the best vegetarian burgers I've had in Atlanta. Not only do they make it themselves (so it is fresh), they cook it separately from the meat products; you know, like everyone should for a vegetarian burger. I can't tell you how many places do not do this, and I find it frustrating as a vegetarian, that it seems like an inconvenience that I would want my vegetarian burger cooked separately from the meat. This place takes it serious, because the first time I went and asked, the manager came over after the server left our table to personally assure me that they made sure to cook it separately. I thought that was an awesome touch. I have eaten there a couple of times now, and the food has been consistently good. I only have two minor complaints, one, is that the kitchen is open, so if something starts to burn or get a little over done, the whole restaurant can get a little smelly. The second is that the wait for your food can be a bit longer than most places; but since it all comes out fresh and delicious, I am sure that one could (and should) be overlooked.

Ok, not exactly a fan. I think I am better described as between 3 and 4 stars. Situated on the Midtown Plaza near Georgia Tech, this is a very convenient place - with free parking and everything. I used to think this place is a place in wall but it is actually very spacious inside. We came in here as a spur of the moment thing, and we weren't really disappointed, although we didn't have our mind blown either. I ordered a Fiery Crawfish Cheese Dip and Pecan Crusted Trout, and my girlfriend ordered the Turkey Meatloaf. The cheese dip was good, it got some real flavor to it have some real crawfish, just a tinge of spiciness like the waitress explained. As for the entrees, the Pecan Crusted Trout is a bit of false advertising, as I did not taste any pecan, just a piece of fried fish. At $12, I was ok with the taste though, as the dirty rich and crawfish sauce made up for it. My girlfriend had the turkey meatloaf, again, not a big fan of it either but it tastes good. However, i really like the atmosphere. We went in thinking it would be a smoky bar. We were seated in the booths away from the bar and it was nice, albeit a bit loud, but nice nevertheless. All in all, this place will pass for the occasional spur of moment dinner thing and it is a nice place in the wall.

This place was awesome!! Went in for dinner while on business in Atlanta. The place was packed. The music was good and the drinks were flowing!! I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and it was great! It had the perfect ratio of buffalo to ranch. Our server was attentative and the manager came by to check and make sure everything was kosher! I will definitely be back when I am back in Atlanta.

I ordered the shrimp and grits. I was so hungry and the service was so quick! AMAZING!! The shrimp was fresh and the grits and sauce were amazing and creamy! Great company and apparently lots of regulars. Amazing menu. As a visitor to Atlanta I recommend stopping in for an incredible southern meal!

So I went to Marlow's Tavern with a few friends at their suggestion and I think we all really enjoyed it. It's not really what I would call a tavern, but then again it's Midtown, so, whatever. We shared a few appetizers all of which were great. The calamari was crispy and not too heavily fried. The "toasted cheese" was adorable -- little grilled cheese sandwiches served with tomato sauce. It reminded me of having grilled cheese and tomato soup as a kid. We also had a bruchetta with shrimp and basil and tomato which was very tasty. For the meal I had the "black and blue" salad which was excellent -- very flavorful and I loved the steak medium-rare. The reason for the lost star is two-fold. A friend's meal was totally absurd. He ordered something called a "chicken stack" expecting a sort of Napoleon, but when it came out it was an enormous mass of cheese and vegetables sandwiched between two whole chicken breasts. This was served up with a Mediterranean salad consisting mostly of feta cheese. We were headed out after dinner, so he couldn't take the leftovers with him and it seemed a shame to waste so much food. I guess one should exercise a little discretion before ordering. Also, it sort of looks like a Starbucks on the inside. There's a massive amount of hipster-fail black-and-white photography on the walls. It reminded me of a Hampton Inn. Not really important, but I thought I'd throw that out there. Anywho, you should definitely check it out -- there was a great selection, definitely something for every taste!

I ate at Marlow's with a friend of mine today. While the food was pretty good, I think I may have been a victim of too-high expectations brought on by reading the reviews here on Yelp. If I'd gone in expecting "pretty good food for a bar," I would have been pretty impressed. But I was expecting a little more than that. We ordered the Firecracker Shrimp as an appetizer because my friend loves it (and because it got good reviews here). The dipping sauces were bland and uninspiring. The shrimp itself was good, but I think I was expecting something a little more spicy from something with "firecracker" in the name. I ordered the Black-and-Blue Burger and substituted the truffle-parmesan fries (which you can do for only $1 extra). The burger was good, though not one of the best I've had. It was cooked correctly and came out very fresh, which is a plus. The truffle-parm fries were fresh, but based on other Yelpers' comments I kind of expected them to be more interesting than they were. Although others here have complained about service, our service was excellent. Granted, it was 11:30 am on Christmas Eve Eve, so the office lunch crowd was noticeably absent. We were the only patrons in the place. But our server was really nice and extremely attentive (without being annoying). We also had someone else, who I assume was the manager, come out and ask us if all our food was good and cooked correctly. Overall, I give Marlow's props for friendly service and better-than-average bar food. Nothing wowed me enough to give it that fourth star, but I might change my mind if I have the opportunity to go back sometime and sample their drinks or more of their menu items. Oh, and yes I do know that I just gave Sonic 4 stars and then gave Marlow's only 3. It's because within its category (fast food), Sonic excels. If you compare Marlow's with other pubs, it really doesn't equal places like 5 Seasons or any of the others that are known for good bar food. It's good, but I've had better.

Food: ok. Service: high compulsory tip for bad service. Nearly 20% service charge was added automatically; waitress did not return all of my changes; I couldn't reduce the tip even though she forgot my request.

A meeting ended at GA Tech and this place was close enough to grab a bite. While the many reviews said it would be really good, I was not quite impressed with the overall food. The only reason I gave it 3 stars was because of really good, friendly, humorous server. Also, the coupon for the free truffle fries next time. The food was average in taste overall, the truffle fries sounded amazing on the menu, delivered, tasted old, unflavorful, with Parmesan pieces on it. Based on the waiter and description, I was hoping for much better. The food was hot, but again, not very flavorful. They recognized the food was poor and gave a coupon to come back, so kudos for trying.

I honestly cannot belive that I haven't reviewed Marlow's Tavern before now. I love this place. Every time I am trying to think of a quick, tasty and reasonably priced meal, Marlow's is always my first choice. Oh and did I mention that they have a FREE parking deck? Yes, free parking right in the heart of Midtown. Shocking, I know. The food is always good, the atmosphere is great and it really is the ideal place to go watch a game or catch up with friends. I would say all in all a pretty solid place.

****************************3.5 stars************************************** So on Cinco de mayo me and some buddies decided to celebrate this mexican holiday (and my bday) by going out and getting some food and drinks (hopefully on the cheap). So we were set up to go to no mas cantina at 7:30 (not a good idea). when we drove by it was packed to the brim everyone was waiting outside and it was a 2 hour wait for food and that was just an estimate (which is ridiculous). seeing our options dwindle we decided to head to mid-town and check out the prickly pear. 20 min later when we got there it was a cluster-f*ck. It was an apparent Cinco de Mayo 'block party' being thrown by two restaurants. Forget trying to put ure name a list of any sort it was complete mayhem and drunk guys to boot. Usually its not an issue but since the lady was in town this didn't bode over well with me. seeing an open table we sat down thinking it was part of the 'block party' but apparently Marlow's Tavern wasn't part of it. But seeing as we didn't want any part of any cluster-f*ck we decided to stay. menus were delivered promptly and the waiter came out to get our drink orders. Looking at the prices on the menu it didn't really jump out as expensive or pricey, pretty much on par with say 6 feet under or any other atl establishment. So off we went to order. Since i was hungry and wanted to drink i didn't wanna get anything too filling so the lady and i decided to just do appetizers. We ordered firecracker shrimp ($10), marlow's tavern sampler ($12) and some fried calamari ($11). And keeping with the theme we also got a margarita ($8) and a blueberry mojito ($8). So as we waited we just enjoyed the festivities and chatted up with some buddies. 15 min later as conversation was running dry and my buzz slowly slipping away i could wait no longer and jumped over next door to prickly pear to grab a drink. when i got back there were our drinks, oh well more for me. There was also an apparent mistake and two margaritas were delivered. So making quick work of the one in my hand, we continued to talk. Soon after, the food arrived and not a moment too soon. The food was nothing too special but well executed nonetheless. The sampler, which included shrimp and crab nachos, firecracker shrimp, and hummus was pretty good. Nachos were nice and cheesy and the filling was sufficient. Fire cracker shrimp were crisp and tender not over fried but seemed like it was just fancy Long John Silver's. the hummus tasted home made and earthy but had a layer of oil on the top so i didn't really know what to make out of it, but it was still good. The bigger order of firecracker shrimp was also well fried. The calamari was a little disappointing. Pieces stuck together and some of the tentacle pieces were a bit over cooked and dry. At least the cocktails were good. The lady really enjoyed her blueberry mojito (too bad she could order only 1 since they ran out of blueberry liquor). and the margarita i had could've been a bit stronger but its a cocktail so i wasn't expecting much liquor in it anyways. Overall Marlow's tavern was accommodating for a busy night. Their appetizers are good but nothing special. Their cocktails are better than their food but could be a bit stronger. and their prices are right on par with a restaurant of their caliber. I'd come back if i was in the area... dunno if i'd make the trek out here solely for the food since parking can be hectic... Decent food, Good drinks, good atmosphere, decent service.... Happy eating...

The first time I went here there were a lot of people but not too crowded. It was a good atmosphere, friendly service, and good seating choices. They have bar seats, booths, and tables with stools. I always enjoy a bar with no smoking as well. The second time I came was for the Yelp party. It was even more fun then. Even though it got pretty crowded and hot, it was not something taking off my jacket could not fix. The bartenders were friendly and pretty speedy even while mixing so many of the special Yelp drinks. They even have a good amount of bathrooms. They offer a decent selection of food too, with some good snacking foods. Overall it was a great experience and a great location on West Peachtree right near Mac's in case you want to continue the party at home.

The food at Marlow's is really good. Fried macaroni and cheese? Are you kidding me?? Spectacular. I've really never had anything I didn't like. I always get good service, too. Marlow's is a great spot to eat or just have drinks if you're in Midtown. I highly recommend.

Randomly stopped in here on a Saturday night. I was surprised that we were able to get a table fairly quickly despite the crowd at the bar and near the front. The waiter was friendly but it took 15 minutes to get our drink orders. When they arrived, they were kinda watered down for $8 a piece. While it took a little while for the drinks, it only took 10 minutes for our burgers to arrive. They were very fresh and I appreciated that the rolls were grilled in a bit of butter to add more flavor and prevent the juices from making the bun soggy. I loathe soggy bread! The fries were OK, they kind of looked like leftovers that had been cooked earlier. Overall, not a bad spot to eat on a date night or to hang out with friends. The bar was very lively and there was a diverse crowd. I wouldn't break my neck to come here again, but if it was an option, I'd definitely consider.

I was in Atlanta for a wedding and our Hotel (the Palomar) was right next door, so we of course stopped in for a bite. I got the asparagus fries. I guess I should have realized fries means deep-fried asparagus. The first few were good, but after that I had to peel off the breading because it was just not a good combo. My friend's appetizers were pretty good - we were impressed by the hummus and crab and lobster nachos. But again, we expected less fried (the crab and lobster were deep-fried) and more class for the price. Drinks were OK - a little on the weak side.

(Visited June 2011) It was a humid warm rainy evening, dusk to be exact. The overcast weather reminding me of my hometown San Francisco in some familiar ways. Streets filled with citizens in the mood for shopping, dining, exploring and partying. However, slowly becoming frustrated with the parking, we soon found relief. Covered parking in garage at a low rate. Convenience met us (again) at the door, which turned out to be only 20 steps from our vehicle. Walking in through the back door (from the parking garage)made me feel as if I were a international celebrity seeking privacy from the general public.LOL I loved the many restrooms provided and the AMBIANCE immediately screamed ROOMMAANNCCEE. Freezing cold, I remembered I hadn't packed a jacket. Gee, in the back of my mind I am thinking "What in the hell is the thermostat on? 20 degrees?!?!?!?" It was Brrrrr Colllllddddd in Marlow's. The thought of a nice stift drink hit me in the head like the rain (outside) beating the windows. We ordered the Pomegranate Martini and the Watermelon Margarita. The Pomegranate Martini was very potent... Definitely delivered sweet tastes of pomegranate flavors. However, the after taste greets you (as if to say) "Hello, I am pomegranate flavored grenadine syrup!". I was immediately over it! The Watermelon Margarita was packed with a PUNCH (liquor). I immediately thought "Man, I should have told them NO ice!" The glass is so narrow, you find yourself done with the drink before it arrives. Nothing spectacular as far as the watermelon flavor. Definitely was better than the traditional lime margarita flavor we are all use to. Thank god for ice water.... Water always helps me transition into my next drink or platter. Water refreshes and renews for a clean slate! Luckily, Malow's water was fresh and scored a 10! Next up??? Fried Calamari. I felt like I was chewing on a rubber boot. I could not appreciate the texture of the calamari. I always blame it on "SF,CA"; Land of the greatest seafood selection ever. When you know seafood it is hard to settle for anything less. Marlow's delivered "LESS". When the batter pulls from the calamari I have a problem with that... The taste becomes unorganized and I cannot get enthused w/ the taste of the calamari. It's almost like you have to marinate and marry everything in your mouth (yourself) in order to get it right. NO!!!!!!!! When I eat something I want to be able to close my eyes, moan in disbelief, hold my head back and have the highest food orgasm of my life. The Marinara keeps you fulfilled throughout the appetizer THANK GOD. Definitely must zest your calamari up with lemon if you want some added flavor. Again, that batter did NOT have that PUNCH I was looking for. I see my waitor "ANDREW" (who by the way is a hottie). Andrew definitely has our main entrees. The plates came around the corner in slow motion (my vision with food is lustful...sorry lol). My mouth was watering with every inch of the plate coming closer! Main entree presentation: AWESOME! I ordered a delicious cheeseburger and fries. Felt like being an all-american girl on this evening. Indulging my tastes into the first bite was like heaven. "MMmmmmmmmm" there was that moannnn I always give. Delicious, NO BETTER YET... IMPECCABLE!!! Marlow's ground beef is definitely ANGUS. Marinades were a 10! I was very pleased! The fries were an 8. Why?Served hott and extra crunchy (taste good)... However, for any reason if they cooled I had a feeling I would be in for another calamari disaster (CHEWY FRIES). The fries gave off this frozen foods taste in the back of my mind. I would have preferred fresh chopped red potatos fried with a hint of garlic and basil. Red potato fried totally would have complimented this delicious cheeseburger. In the end I was bloated and stuffed like a huge hungry hippo. Dessert was definitely a NO-GO! LOL You definitely get your monies worth at this place. The vibe is fun, laid back, and real chill. Diversity was a plus. Sometime you have to go downtown to get a cultural experience. I appreciated peeking my head over at the 5 different televisions (hanging over the bar) to catch a glimpse of the 5 minutes of news I take in weekly. CNN was Marlow's sidekick! All in All I have to give this place a thumb's up! Definitely a repeat patron. I like the fact that NO matter which side of town you are on you can find a Marlow's Tavern! Thank you Marlow's for a casually enchanted evening... I look forward to our next food affair. Sincerely, Ms. Food Orgasm

Definitely a solid spot. Great beer selection and impressive drink menu. The food I ordered was good, not spectacular, but hey, it was a salad so what do you expect. The menu does have a good variety of options though so that's a huge plus. I really like the layout/atmosphere of this location too. Nice long bar, plenty of TVs in view and free parking in the attached garage is incredibly convenient. You don't even have to walk outside...and of course it was raining when I went so my hair thanks you Marlow's Tavern :) Another win for midtown.

Food - Solid. The queso chicken soup was fantastic and on par with many of the best I've had. I also had the black and blue flatiron steak salad. The presentation was interesting, with a correctly prepared med-rare-seared-on-outside-red-in-middle steak and a whole, large, tomato, sliced into 4 large chunks, flanking the well tossed salad. The salad was very good, if a bit heavy on the dressing. The tomato chunks kinda weirded me out but I ingested it all regardless. Like many people mentioned, the menu is uninspired and it took me a LONG time to figure out what I wanted (uncharacteristic for me). I saw that other said the same thing, so be prepared to be uninspired by the menu. Service - I sat at the bar so I was helped by Lou and Lauren. As soon as I sat down Lou came over, introduced himself and Lauren, and were both very attentive and friendly. They both asked my name and shook my hand. Lauren kept calling me "honey," "baby," and "sweetheart," which made me a little uncomfortable, but that's how southern girls roll. I guess I'll never get used to it. Lauren was always on the spot with the beer and even kept refilling my water. A+ on the service. Environment - Agree with other Yelpers: Nice, modern chic interior. Warm and friendly, not industrial and foreboding. I really enjoyed the decor. Price - I pad $25 for the salad, soup, and 2 beers. It's on the expensive end of bar food. I had 2 Yuenlings ($4.25 per), soup was around $4, and the salad around $14. Def. a bit pricey and wish they had happy hour specials. I would def. go back if they offered HH specials. Would I recommend it? Yes, but probably not often. It's not a bad place to meet and do HH with a larger group, but they don't offer any specials... Not a bad bar to roll in solo though and throw back a couple of beers, eat some food, and watch a game or two.

Met a buddy here for a bite on Wednesday. We were trying to think of some place that was affordable, with easy parking for me as I was driving in. The obvious choices were all places we'd been before and were getting tired of. So when my friend suggested Marlow's, I figured what the hell. I hadn't been before and I heard the place was pretty good. I came in from the parking deck entrance and it reminded me of the beginning of Get Smart. There was a long hallway with all these doors. It was a little weird actually. But once I made it down the long hallway and into the dining room, I liked the vibe of the place. It had a somewhat clubby, neighborhood bar kind of feel. Cozy isn't the right word and unassuming is a bit of an insult. It just felt like a come-as-you-are place. After my friend and I caught up, I spent some time with the menu, which was a nice mix of salads, sandwiches and entrees. Tempted by the burgers--which my buddy recommended--I decided to go for something a little spicier, a buffalo chicken wrap. When the food came, it was a surprisingly large lunch portion, as the wrap was packed with chicken, lettuce, etc. And the mound of fries was so large, I barely made a dent in them. The final damage wasn't that bad either. The wrap and a Coke, plus tax and tip, only came out to $12. The service was a little slow of the beverage refills, but was otherwise fine. And right before we left, our waiter left a form to enter a free raffle and get on their e-mail list. This is something you should do, as the following day I received an e-coupon for $10 off. With money being tight these days, it's something my wife and I will definitely use. All in all, Marlow's turned out to be a great lunch spot. As we left, I was really kicking myself for not going here more when I worked nearby.

There's nothing more I love then going to fun unpretentious bar and grills like Marlows. I come here every afternoon for my shot of Jack and side of Coke when I'm in town and they never fail to deliver before my rear end hits that bar stool. I come to Marlows as a social medium with coworkers during and after work. The food is great as well especially after a couple of drinks. I don't think I've met a single lame person that works on their service staff and that is great because it just feels like home when you're in there. With Marlows, I have to rant more about service then their food just because that is what wins it all for me. However, if you are a first timer at Marlows, try the shrimp and crab nacho appetizer. These things are really good and if you're not that hungry, it alone will fill your belly. Add a shot of whatever and there's a party in your tummy! So yummy! So yummy! Their burgers are great as well. They're huge. Believe it or not, I am one to complain about getting too much food. I hate being overstuffed and having to bring stuff with me. But despite its giant size, it's a great tasting burger. The prices here are reasonable for midtown Atlanta and it's always a great place to meet people. It's always busy. Love it love it love it. twitter.com/10_k

I come here fairly often since I live close by. I don't really like sports bars but I do like this place. Food is good. I think they have really great appetizers though. Most notably, their shrimp and crab nachos are delicious and the kettle chips with blue cheese are also very good. These two apps alone are worth going for. Black and blue steak salad is good although steak is a bit too dry, the salad dressing is very yummy. The black and blue burger is really good too. The only drawback is the service. It has been consistently bad for a long time now. Servers are verrrry sloooooow and are gone for long periods of time. They slack on refills and are just not around if you need something. The host is nice though. He has noticed the bad/absent service before and corrected the situation. Consequently, I would not recommend this place if you are tight on time, especially around lunch time.

Every year, my friends and I search for a place to handle a good-sized group of people for dinner and drinks for my birthday, and it is never an easy task. This year (thanks to Yelpers), we decided to try Marlow's. I called a week beforehand to make sure they could handle 16 people on a Saturday night - the manager (Chris) was quite willing to take a reservation on a busy night (Oysterfest night) for 16 people eating dinner. On my way to dinner, I started receiving text messages and phone calls from my friends/guests stating that they had forgotten about the reservation and the place was packed. By the time I arrived, the manager had promised to rectify the situation. 12 of us stood by the front and waited for an area to clear. Chris brought me a free drink to diffuse the situation and promised free appetizers for everyone. After 20 minutes, they had cleared out the entire front area for us and had pushed 4 tables together and offered not to sit anyone else in our section. The waiter came and took our order for drinks and appetizers and before we knew it, we had a table full of apps on the house while we reviewed our dining options. Kettle Chips loaded with blue cheese sauce, bacon, tomatoes and green onions - excellent choice and I could have eaten the whole plate on my own. Killer Calamari with Spicy and Sweet sauces, and my friends seemed to enjoy it. Marlow's Famous Hummus Plate with pita bread, carrots and celery - this had a nice flavor and was a hit. Fresh Picked Spinach & Artichoke Dip a version that in addition to the traditional dip, also has mushrooms and tomatoes served with large pieces of garlic bread - this was my favorite app on the table. Again, I could have kept the whole thing to myself. As for dinner, the table ordered a large array of choices and everyone was complimentary of their dinner. For me, I went with the Grilled Chicken Pappardelle. The pasta was delicious with its creamy tomato (pomodoro) sauce with "a hint of Vodka" and fresh basil. My only complaint was the chicken breast was whole and placed on top of the pasta and sauce. I prefer in this type of dish that either the whole chicken breast be placed to the side, or sliced up if placed on top. Despite my irritation over the presentation, the dish was nicely prepared and was quite tasty. The waiter handled the large party quite well, including the musical chairs and late additions to the festivities. He was also nice enough to cash out a few folks early without complaint. Another bonus - free parking under the building makes for an easy evening in Midtown. So as long as you call ahead, this place can certainly handle a crowd. And if they do make a mistake, they are quick to admit their mistake and offer ways to resolve the situation. Hey - I never paid for a drink!

I'm really kinda shocked that I've taken so well to Marlow's; by all means I'd normally think a place like this would strike me as eh-I-kinda-dig-it-but-not-*my*-kinda-spot-exactly. But sure enough I've been back time and time again, generally having a considerably above average time. Notables: -cheddar soup. delicious. -turkey sandwich. DELICIOUS. Perhaps more nostalgia than anything though, the sauce tastes exactly like what we used to make Easter morning to pour over our eggs and toast. Anyway. -for any number of reasons, there always seems to be the same guy covering what I can only call Doucherock (think: Nickelback) anytime we're there on weekend. Eh, whatev. -an OK selection of beer; they rotate a couple taps frequently but usually if I have to default to Sam Adams that means you're probably only scoring like 4 points out of 10.

Marlow's has one great advantage to its location in Midtown, the free parking. I find it has been a great meeting place that is convenient for many different parties. The Midtown Marta transit station is nearly across the street and being between Spring and W. Peachtree makes it easy to find. While something remains to be desired with some of the food, it is on par with many similar restaurants and on my most recent visit found what I can call my "favorite." While I have never seen it to be crowded it is certainly never devoid of patrons. The space is comfortable and servers are friendly. The menu is standard fare with salads, burgers, sandwiches, and a few entrees. It's difficult for me to decide sometimes when nothing jumps off the page with creativity. In the past I have had several dishes. The Buffalo Chicken Wrap speaks for itself and the Fish Tacos left me saying "eh." Today I had the Southwestern "Fired Up" Burger, which was very good. While it wasn't exactly as "fired up" as the menu boasts I found a couple jalapenos in there...somewhere.

Decent Neighborhood Restaurant - Clueless on their TV's I have been to this establishment several times and it never fails to disappoint me. The food quality and presentation has always been consistent. The interior is rustic and has a nice tavern feel to it, plus the bar area is comfortable and pleasing. They have a nice array of flat-screens throughout the restaurant. The only thing which is lacking is their clueless ability to broadcast football games on Sunday. Even with a home-game on, they insist on flooding the restaurant with piped on music. I have had to ask their management several time if we could hear the audio for the game. They reluctantly did so after I complained. If your a restaurant with many TV's and NFL Sunday ticket, why would you have music piping? We came their for the purpose of enjoying a Sunday afternoon ball game. Hopefully their management won't be as clueless next season. The hot and sweet wings were chosen as the 1st course appetizer. They were very well cooked, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and flavor was very good. The home-made Gorgonzola dressing was a nice shift from the usual bottled blue cheese dressings you usually receive with wings. My favorite dishes are the Tavern Burgers. I have previously had the Black and Blue Burger with their fresh cut fries. I was surprised how fresh and well put together the burger was. The bread was of he right size and it wasn't overwhelming on the burger. The patty was grilled and is more flavorful than other spots. It must either be the quality of the beef or the way they grill it or both. The Gorgonzola cheese was of a higher quality and of course the fries were not frozen. Another time I had the burger with a side of fresh fried okra, it was definitely fresh. I really enjoyed those as a side dish also. They also have a Sunday Brunch which I look forward to trying someday. The pricing is very competitive for the quality you are receiving and the service was adequate. Hopefully they have improved on their service and the management have gotten a grip on what the TV's are there for.

Decided to give this place another chance after a not-so-good experience several months ago with my partner's business colleagues in from out of town. This place is right at our back door, so convenient, and I like the decor and feeling they are trying to pull off. But I was even more disappointed this time than the first. My partner and I invited a friend we had not seen in a while out to dinner early on a Saturday evening (probably around 6:00) and I suggested we try Marlow's because it is within walking distance. I knew we were in trouble when we entered and had to stand at the host stand for 5 minutes without anyone addressing us, yet there were plenty of empty tables and no one else waiting. Finally a waiter, not a host person, showed up and asked "has anyone greeted you?". I said no and the person seemed agitated, not at me but presumably at the host person who was incognito. We were led to a booth that was near the bar. I asked if she could, instead, seat us away from the bar as we were looking to talk over dinner and catch-up while at the same time still try to take everything in. The response: here are your menus just seat yourselves wherever you like. Huh??? I should have walked out right then and there. Oh why did I stay? I got the feeling that us 'seating ourselves' in his area irritated the waiter. He seemed aloof, as if he would have preferred to not wait on us. And it only got worse when yet again we had a repeat of our last visit in that our appetizer was completely forgotten. In fact, my partner asked the waiter if they really served appetizers and explained our last incident when we ate there. The food was not that great, it seemed rushed and undercooked, although it took forever to get it. The waiter offered to take mine back but I had already waited a terribly long time. And the appetizer coming at the end of the meal was useless and should never have been brought out...as we explained to the waiter. We had a discussion with the manager who offered his apologies. I was comp'd for my entree but nothing else. But there was no saving our business. As much and try to support the businesses in our Midtown neighborhood, we will not be back to Marlow's.

This review is regarding Sunday brunch (for my last visit). This is a great addition to the brunch scene in Midtown. A nicely priced (14.99) all-you-can-eat brunch which included an omlette station. Some of the standards includes Eggs Benedict. After 12:30, you can also get a Bottomless Mimosa. The choices on the buffet included meats, gravy, fruit, salad, and french toast. One concern is the wait staff. I have been in this place on three different occasions in the last month. I had three different servers, and most of my experience has been mediocre. Servers tend to leave and not return for 10-15 minutes at a time. I understand AYCE brunch can be difficult to make money, but you won't make money if you just show up at the table one or twice.

Always have good service and good food. I'm a HUGE fan of the fish tacos. I'm a loyal returning guest.

For starters I must say that a Marlow's Tavern is being built around the corner from work and after my Midtown visit, I can't wait for the Tucker location. I loved the layout of this place. Very Chic but not in a pretentious sort of way. The waitress was attentive. At times she seemed a little into her own conversation and visitor. But for the most part she was right on. I especially appreciate her splitting the check. Awesome Amy (or so I named her)! I had a Corona and the Shrimp Tempura. You can never go wrong with a Corona and my favorite 'Shrimp Tempura' has yet to let me down. Thanks Rob for the shot, very tasty and great eye appeal. This place would've received 5 stars but I was a little turned off by the music (as for the rest of the party). The music seemed as though it was more fit for a romantic setting and I really didn't get that vibe here. The music literally ran away the crowd of 6 guys that were there when we arrived, and once the lead singer hit his Mariah Carey high note we all ran away, fingers in ears =) Marlow's Stick to what we know/assume you to be...the neighborhood bar, with good food, good beers, decent service, and a good game on the flat.

Great place, not too expensive. I work up the street, so Marlow's is one of the go-to places for lunch. An easy pick is the fish tacos with jalapeno corn grits. Definitely worth checking out.

I went here with some people from work. The service was SLOOOOOOWWWWWWW. Painfully slow. This was around 4pm so they were not busy. It took more than 15 minutes for someone to come and get our order and then another 10- 15 minutes for our drinks to come. The drinks were not good. I had a pomegranate martini that was so awful, I gave up and got a beer instead. A friend got a dirty martini and she said it sucked too. Two people in our group were charged over $100 on tabs that were about $20. The only good thing about this place was the shrimp and crab nachos, but even they can not help me give this place more than 1 star.

What a pleasant surprise, when I think of a tavern, rustic comes to mind, heavy bland food, not at Marlowe's. Marlowe's food is quality gourmet and there's a long list of specialty drinks. You must try the flatbread appetizer layered with arugula, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, drizzled with just the right salad dressing. I've had the black bean burger and lamb burger, they were excellent! Can't you tell I've been there several times(smile). Gotta have dessert, try the warm apple crisp topped with vanilla ice cream, scrumptious! The service is fast, courteous, always a pleasurable experience. So if you are on a budget and looking for a fast, reasonable, good place to eat, you've found it. I'll be sitting at the bar sipping on my virgin pina colada(LOL). (Did I mention there's free parking in the garage attached to the restaurant and outdoor seating)

Pretty nice new place on West Peachtree. Bar service was impossible - you could have stood there for 20 minutes and not gotten their attention. However, our table service was excellent! Our server was always there refilling our drinks and checking on us. The appetizers we had were also delish, and I'm looking forward to checking it out again. And a word of caution, be careful walking down the aisle to the restrooms/ parking deck - the doors open outward and you may get one in the face!

Went for lunch today with Tiffany H. Greeted by very friendly waitstaff, everyone smiled and said hello, even on my trip to the bathroom. I was very tempted to try the Shrimp & Crab Nachos, but the stomach sometimes fails me, and I had to return to work, so I ordered the Caesar and the Parmesan Truffle Fries. Tiff had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. I liked that our orders came at the same time. I'm generally displeased when I order a salad and an appetizer as my meal and the salad comes out first. The salad was fine. Lettuce wasn't soggy, croutons crisp, couldn't say as much about the fries. Maybe it was the truffle oil, but they were very limp. They needed some spice, too. It was too much grease to be so bland. Tiff really enjoyed her wrap, so I'll go again and try other items. We ordered two of their three dessert flights. Carrot cake and the Brownie. Both came out covered in a caramel sauce. I'm not really big on caramel and I've never heard of it on carrot cake. It seemed unnecessary to me. Our waitress assured me you could order it without for next time. I'll definitely have to try the Key Lime Pie. I would really give this 3.5 stars. I liked the atmosphere, it's close to my job, and free parking deck. Waitress was very nice.

First time at Marlow Tavern today. I ordered the Firecracker Shrimp and Truffled Parmesan Fries. smack...smack...smack (licking fingers)!!!! Oh, so sorry for the noise but this is delicious food!!!! Boy this was some good lunch!!! Will return soon so I can try their other appetizers!!! Oh, I love the spoon door handles as you walk in...nice touch!!!

Atmosphere was great. Excellent service, good beers, but really just satisfactory bar food. The beers on draft were fresh and very unique. I had the steak salad, which was made with fresh ingredients, but not much love. Wifey had the home-made black bean burger, which was really delicious, but the toppings and sides were mediocre. Overall, a good place to meet afterwork for a beer and app. Not a place for a full sit-down dinner.

Met some friends there for lunch. it was 8 of us. Don't go with more than 6 people or it's gonna be TIGHT. Service lefta little to be desired. The table was too long for the waiter to reach people. We went there for brunch buffet. Terrible. I think they tried to cook the meat in the buffett warmers. pancakes were nasty. Omelets made fresh of course but thats about all that was good there. And all for $15. i say hell naw, not ever again. Stick to beers/fries. Let your people have Sunday morning off till 11am.

I have been here hundreds of times, it is literally across the street from my office and over the past 3 years I have dined here more than I count, most often for lunch. Now, being an ex-bartender, I know that lunch is the time to hustle and it seems that the bartender at Marlow's doesn't get that notion. I guess my complaints are mostly about service. The food is good for the price (and the guy who said he would pay the same at Steel next door is DREAMING!). But since Lauren the bartender left, it has been awful at the bar. Last week my salad sat in the expo window for 30 minutes, it had a medium steak on it that is supposed to be served warm, but it was ice cold. I sent it back and thankfully the female manager remedied it quickly. This week, I came in and was the first/only bar guest. I ask to change one of the channels from golf (since both were on golf, and I was the only one sitting there) yet the manager essentially told me no "Guys will be coming in to watch golf". I could not believe he would say NO to a) a customer, and b) considering I was the only person at the bar and 6 other TV's in the rest. had golf on. Either way, when I paid the bill, the bartender spilled my water all over me. Thankfully he did apologize. The younger male manager came over with a towel, handed it to me and walked away, while the bartender cleaned the bar and went about his business. Meanwhile I stand there soaked and with a puddle of water below the bar stools. I WAS THE ONE who put the towels on the floor in hopes that the next customer wouldn't bust their ass. I adore Antoine as my bartender, and from now on will only sit at the bar if he is there... otherise I will probably go somewhere else..... Being an ex-bartender, I am very understanding, but certainly expect better service....

What a nice place. I went here for a Barack Obama fundraiser. The waiter who was assigned to us probably had a LOT of people to tend to, but was prompt, courteous and split the checks without asking, and got everything correct! I was impressed! I just had a couple beers and shared a couple appetizers but what I did have, the calamari and the hummus were both tasty. The menu was not terribly extensive but the entrees sounded good and were reasonably priced. Oh! And parking is free.... a huge plus in midtown!

Finally took a trip down the block to check out Marlow's. I've been a bit hesitant to check it out. The sandwich I had -- their frisco club -- chicken breast sandwich w/ bacon,c heese, and shaved apple w/ horseradish aioli -- delicious. They had some cool photographs of ATL on the walls. The atmosphere? It just seemed a bit suburban to me. Like a slice of Alpharetta slapped down in Midtown. The server wasn't the best either, although the manager was eager to please. There are a ton of great restaurants/bars in the area so Marlow's wouldn't be my place for a night on the town, but I might get takeout from the place in the future since it's in the neighborhood

Four people, one Honda Accord, aimlessly driving around in a slightly starved, post-theater need for food. We almost resorted to late night Chinese food - and then - (drumroll) we happened to pass by Marlow's! Serving real food until 2 a.m.? Seriously? You mean we don't have to eat chicken with broccoli? This was my first time here, and I'd already heard a lot about it from my fellow yelpers - so I had some pretty high expectations. My friends got the firecracker shrimp, and I honestly had to fight the urge to steal the entire plate from them. . . the tempura batter and sauce . . . gooood. Price-wise, it was reasonable - the grilled salmon I had was $13.95, and sandwiches were around $9.95. Options include a good mix of starters, salads, sandwiches and classic entrees. They do some special 'theme drinks' (which I'm a huge sucker for themed things), so I tried the winter spice martini - kinda like an iced chai but with a kick. They also have something I've noticed as a big restaurant trend - mini desserts. We got a mini brownie and key lime pie, which are served in tiny martini glasses. The right amount to satisfy a dessert craving! They really are supermini-sized, just a couple bites - but at two bucks, they're the right thing to satisfy a sweet craving. Though they did get a part of our order mixed up, the waiter was apologetic and handled it well. I even got a high five from my boyfriend for finishing everything (and I do mean everything) on my plate - and finally joining the elusive 'Clean Plate Club.' There was also a cover band playing some pretty classic songs that made me have flashbacks to senior prom or sophomore year spring break. I mean, really. How can hearing 'Brown Eyed Girl' not put you in a good mood? The decor was classic contemporary - think black and white photos and classic lines. What really struck me about Marlow's was the versatility - there was a great mix of people. I can also see this being a good place for lunch, just for a drink or for dinner. Somewhere I'd go out with friends, but somewhere I would also feel comfortable taking my parents. In summary, a couple of shout outs: - Yay, for the kitchen being open until 2 a.m. (Wed. - Sat. only & until 12 a.m. Tues. - Sun.)! You are my new late night default spot, Marlow. - Double Yay for free parking in Midtown!

Cool spot, nice ambience, food is definitely good to go for a late night dinner. I was impressed, the appetizers were mouth watering and eye appealing. However, it was hotter than a witch's twat in there! What was up with that? Can a brother get some AC up in there!? I'll go back to check it out on another day.

Marlow's is a great spot for just about any occasion. It is casual enough to be your favorite watering hole as well as elegant enough to take a first date. Actually i would recommend it as a great first date place. Few places can offer this flexibility. I had the lamb wrap which had all kinds of mediterranean goodness in a pita. The atmosphere is great. Although this flexibilty does have its tradeoffs, as towards the later hours, the place will transition more into bar mode. But that's a beautiful thing as far as i am concerned.

Chris R.

Marlow's is becoming a common lunch spot for my colleagues down at Tech Square. It has a great atmosphere, the friendliest young staff in the area and a nice diverse menu. I have had two good but not great meals there - one was the burger, I think it was fried not grilled and it was a bit over-hyped by the server. If you are going to claim the best burger in Atlanta, it needs to rock my world and Marlow's burger did not Second meal I had was the steak salad, highly recommended by the server. I thought it was a little light on the Gorgonzola, but the problem was the menu has it listed as a sliced flatiron steak, but it was actually a sliced filet. A cold sliced filet, is just meat to me, with no flavor. A flatiron steak will actually have some marbling and fat to give the meat some flavor; would not have ordered it if I knew it was going to me an alternate cut of meat. Will certainly keep going to Marlow's and will upgrade them with the food is commiserate with a fourth star.

I've been to Marlow's a few times for lunch. The last time I was there, I ordered the Chicken (or maybe it was Salmon) Caesar Salad. It was delish! Also, I appreciate the covered parking and the back door entrance. Prefect for accommodating my parallel parking disability.

Brian C.

I freakin love Marlow's. The atmosphere is sophisticated yet casual-classy and laid back. The interior is really well decorated and has lots of energy. The patio is a great addition to the midtown scene as well, especially when they open up the entire bank of front windows and let the ambiance of the restaurant spill out onto the sidewalk. The menu is full of favorites and some surprises as well. My favorite to date is the prime rib sandwich au jus, its so delicious I can't believe it. They also have a good selection of beers and drinks. All in all its a great place to meet up with friends considering the ample parking in the deck and proximity to the Midtown marta station.

This is a good place to go out on a weekday night to socialize/watch sports. Everything in the restaurant is newish so thats a plus. Their TV's are great and all over the place. I went there for the packers game on the NFL network and it was pretty packed with people watching. Another time I went they had a guy playing acoustic guitar and it was a pretty different atmosphere, but still very good. I wish I knew the guys name. ...oh yeah the food was pretty good and not that expensive. Same thing with the beer.

a cool spot with great patio seating - 420 on tap and a warm feel inside. but it almost is a little too neat and proper to exude its character or soul. maybe I just need to come again and see if it just eluded me

I am going to start off by saying, usually I am not much of Bar food person. You tell me to dine at a bar and I usally run the other way. It was late and couldn't figure out where to go, so we ended up ar Marlows. I was pretty impressed with the decor. It was not a typical bar but a lil more upscale but def had the loudness and feel of a bar. We started off wtih calmari and wings. The calmari was good, not over fried which actually pretty awesome and the wings had just the right amount of sauce that didnt leave your hands sticky but left you craving for some more. I ended up getting the lamb burger - well done. Perfection. It was soo good and the fries were perfect. I sure could not finish the whole tihng..make sure you are pretty much starving when you order this. I topped it off with some white sangaria and the mangos in the sangria was the best part of the whole drink!!!! I was really impressed and would definately go back and dine there :)

I'm writing this review seperate of my "Party Like It's Monday" review, because I also ordered dinner. The apps that they had for the party were great, but I was famished. I ordered the hummus, which knocked my socks off. It was a little spicy, which I like, though I wish I'd have had a lemon to squeeze over it. It was still phenomenal hummus. Plenty of pita and veggies to complement it. Our server (Darrin) was incredible. Funny, Charismatic, and quick witted. The prices were very reasonable, and the quality of service was what makes me give Marlows a 5 star. Though I'd like to add a + behind it, because they deserve it!

This is a great neighborhood place! With the recent move towards a more pedestrian friendly Atlanta; Marlow's is in walking distance of most any residence in Midtown. Food is unique, tasty and consistent. I especially enjoy the shrimp and crab nachos. Perfect remedy for a nacho craving without all the messiness! Oh, and they are pet friendly! A water bowl and doggie treats sit right outside the front door. Try it out sometime!

I arrived to Atlanta today for my 1st of 2 trips here in 2010. Marlow's Tavern was suggested to me by the front desk staff. I am partial to the name due the fact my grandfather's name is Marlowe. I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Nice decor, attentive staff, reasonably priced meals, extensive menu and a number of unique options. I went with the "soup of the day", a beef and barley paired with the BLT Chicken Salad. Both were delicious! I am in town for 1 week and I can bet you that I will be enjoying at least 1 if not more dinners at this place this week. Worth trying!

There are many things to like about Marlow's. It's in a good location with free parking. It has an interesting menu and nice ambience with seating that is conducive to going there for any combination of appetizers, dinner, dessert, and drinking. The waiters are consistently friendly and helpful, adding to the overall good vibe. I'll start with the food. The menu sports a pretty wide price range, from $8-9 basic burgers to $13 meal-sized salmon salads to $25 steak and rib platters, but if you're not looking to spend much, you don't have to. Usually at places with some expensive entrees, the cheaper ones leave you not quite satisfied, but my proportions have always been generous. Heads-up for vegetarians: the menu is pescatarian-friendly but strict vegetarians will be significantly limited. Here are the specific items I've tried: -- Jambalaya. This is what I got the first time I came here, and it was perfectly good but not stand-out. -- Discrete nachos. They have some strange fancy nacho concept that involves a creamy crab mixture heaped on 6 (or maybe 8) chips arranged ceremoniously on a long rectangular platter. It looks underwhelming, then tastes good, gets boring, and shockingly fills you before you are done. Tasty, but good for sharing and not for using as a substitute for a meal the way your standard nachos might be. -- Salmon BLT salad. I think they removed this from their menu, which is tragic because it is fantastic, but I bet they'd still make it if I asked again, which I will. It's a basic salad with several generous strips of perfectly seared and seasoned salmon. It hits the sweet spot of feeling healthy, filling, and delicious. -- Veggie burger. Their black bean-based house-made veggie burger is good enough that I've gone with non-vegetarians who've ordered and had great things to say about it. -- Bread pudding. I think this was tragically removed from the menu also, but in case it gets reinstated, it is phenomenal. It's not cooked like a standard bread pudding; it's more like slices of baguette soaked in delicious butterscotch-cream sauce. It's easily enough for 2 people and can be shared with more. -- Apple crisp. Also good. Service is also very good. I came one Friday around 9pm with a group of 8 for dessert and drinks, and the place was packed so we ended up sitting around their small waiting area for quite a while. At some point the maitre d' came by with shots on the house for all of us because of the wait. Our server that night was always there when we needed him with drink recommendations. They have plenty of standardly pricey cocktails, but our tab of shots and beers somehow ended up totally reasonable. I'll definitely be back (and will probably petition to get the salmon salad and bread pudding back on the menu).

Marlow's is a good spot for a quick inexpensive meal and if there is a game on- they have plenty of tvs to watch. i love the chicken panini and their salads. My bf enjoys the burgers and we recently tried the lamb burger- not bad. The staff is friendly- especially the manager (cant remember the name...tall guy with a beard)! If there is a problem, he is quick to fix it. He is also very good at remembering people and will stop and chat.

Maigh ..

Sadly, I'll never taste half the bits on their menu. Not for lack of want, rather for too much love of items I've already enjoyed...and being a disgusting creature of habit. The Sizzlin Feta almost made me cry - everything I love and nothing I don't. EVOO. Butter. Thin sliced, crispy bread. Warm feta drizzled with EVOO, spices (basil, is that you?) and a topped with some schmancy tomato compote. My second love: the Frisco Club. Thinly sliced apple. Bacon. Delicious real turkey breasts (none of that deli ca-ca here). Service is always professional, friendly and able to banter, we've never had to wait to sit and it's always just the right amount of busy. The decor is great - lots of windows make the space bright and dark woods and dark paint make it feel upscale. Bonus points for B&W framed images all over the place with macro shots of (mostly) foodie items. I really enjoy Marlow's and I really enjoy that their food is repeatable. I've had the same sanny there at least half a dozen times and it's always perfect.

Marcus R.

my first experiece at Marlow's was really great. Being that i'm used to big cities with plenty of great bars & awesome restaurants. So just like a few of my yelp bretheren I to can say "I Love Marlow's!" Atlanta is quickly becoming more and more like LA. So I went here with some coworkers from the agency. We had a pretty decent sized party & all every could say was wow we've got a great waitress. The food was great (everyone's so that means everything on the menu is good) including the appeitizers. The bar is a good size, the seating is very comfortable plus this place seems to always havesomething going on holidays, special events or otherwise. Get your people together watch a game, get some tasty food, chill relax or go late night. Since there's free parking in the parking garage no worries other than a full stomache of food & drink!

Carol K.

I went to Marlow's for dinner once when it first opened, and it was actually quite nice. It had good lighting, there was an acoustic guitarist and we happened to be in the mood for souped up bar type food. The only thing that I remember about the food though is the gorgonzola dressing that was oh so good. It's more of a place to meet after work if you are in the area for drinks and perhaps some appetizers, but the last time I did that, I got calamari that was a bit funky and made me feel gross soon after. I recently heard someone else complain about some shrimp they ate there, so maybe steer clear of the seafood. A few patrons want to see and be seen there, which is kinda weird, but I still think it's an ok spot to meet for drinks if you like a casual setting that still feels kinda nice.

the food menu is a little short and the entrees are slightly overpriced, but the quality is above average. The best thing about Marlows is the brunch buffet on sunday for 14.99. check it out.

I would have liked to give Marlows a higher rating. I use to enjoy the Sunday $15 all you can eat brunch buffet with made to order omelets and bottomless Mimosas but recently a particular clientele has discovered they can sit and graze over mounds of food for hours on end eating far more then $15 worth of food and causing the kitchen to not be able to keep up with the glutenous demand. Sad, I won't be back.

Travis N.

Someone else described this place as a neighborhood bar, and that's a pretty good description. The decor is inviting, not intimidating. The music selection is an mix of the 90s that fits right at home with the 25-40 crowd I've seen here the times I've come by. The food is better than the average pub fare, though I did run into some "engineering" issues with the buffalo chicken wrap. The first half fell apart on me before I could even take a bite. However, a skillful deployment of the knife and fork solved that problem. The buffalo chicken was flavorful, and not geared to nuke your taste buds like some other I've had. The other thing I had was the shrimp tempura. That was served with two sauces, a normal cocktail sauce and an Asian "sweet chili" sauce. The sweet chili sauce was a disappointment, there was hardly any flavor. For the shrimp itself, I found sprinkling a lemon over them helped add flavor. The beer selection is adequate, with a small collection of British based beers on tap (Guinness, Bass etc). The rest are in bottles. I have a concern about the crowd when it comes to school starting up. Its ambiance and atmosphere lends itself to a proto-typical college hangout. The 2 times I checked this place out, was during the winter vacation. I'll be interested to see how different it is when Ga Tech comes back in January. Overall it's a good hangout spot close to midtown residences. It's got more than just Bud, or Coors for a beer selection, and more than just burger/fries for the food selection. Could it be better? yes Does it fulfill a niche? definitely.

I've been to several Marlow's locations in Atlanta, but the Midtown one is probably my favorite by far. Once you enter, you're hit with a dark ambiance, but don't let the dark mahogany and dim lighting scare you into thinking this is a glorified Taco Mac. Sure, it's a little more glitzy, but it's no STATS (thank God). Marlow's has TVs along the upper walls, but the place isn't plastered with them like your usual sports bar. This might be a pro or con to people, depending on your preference. Some people hate not having a clear view of the TVs, but other people hate too many TVs in a restaurant. Just FYI. I love coming here on weeknights for their daily drink specials, like Wednesdays, for their Ladies Night special -- helllllooo wine flights. Yum. Different locations may have different specials though. Food-wise, your safe bets lie mostly with the standard bar fare. Burgers and sandwiches are tasty, and those prices could give T'Mac a run for their money. Prices get a little steep when you venture into the entrees, but at least they give you good non-bar food choices. Share-able foods, like the kettle chips, are fat-tastic as well. If you're not around Midtown, check out the various other locations. Love the Northlake/Tucker, Duluth/Sugarloaf, and Alpharetta locations too!

i used to come here quite often since i work right across the street - the first few times i came here.. the buffalo chicken wrap and the hummus were MONEY... then i started coming here all the time and to my dismay, the buffalo chicken wrap (which is a favorite and beloved by so many of my co-workers) started getting worse and worse!!!!! so after a year or so hiatus, my manager decides to do a to go order from marlow's.. i go pick it up and they give me only half of my food - i have to go back to get the other half.. grrrr and i got the fish tacos with blackened tilapia this time and it was AWFUL.. my coworker got the same thing and all we could do was pick at the fish b/c the rest of the taco was just a big soggy mess that in no shape or form could be picked up with your hands.. so so underwhelmed by them which makes me sad b/c there are so few good to go restaurants around 10th st.

While a bit too pruppie for some tastes, Marlow's delivers in the areas of food, atmosphere, and alcohol. Yet another product of the restaurant dynasty Metz & Associates, Marlow's knows how to please a broad (& big-spending) audience. The live music is mainstream but pleasant, the food is unadventurous but yummy, and the staff is...well...definitely nice to look at. You don't HAVE to pull a huge paycheck to have a good time here, but it helps, especially if your primary interest is attracting the hottie across the bar. The brunch is especially tasty, the late nights can be quite entertaining, and all 3 locations can be counted on for a fun time. If you're in the market for an unchallenging, aesthetically-pleasing evening, Marlow's is your place.

Marlow's is one of my go-to places if I'm in the mood for a really nice mixed drink. The martini list is nothing short of amazing. Not only are there tons of choices to begin with, but they have seasonal specials as well. My all time favorite is definitely the White Chocolate Martini, which is to die for!! The drinks are on the expensive side (8 or 9 bucks), but delicious and strong enough to justify it. I vaguely remember the beer list being pretty limited, but I've never really gone to Marlow's for the beer anyway. I had also never really gone to Marlow's for the food... until this past weekend. Kyle and I split a bowl of the chicken queso soup and the open faced turkey sandwich with a side salad. Southwestern-ish soups are usually pretty hit or miss with me... and I was definitely not in the mood for one, but I gave it a try anyway for the hell of it. I seriously fell in love and had a hard time not eating all of it! Appropriately creamy and cheesy, a little spicy, and full of yummy, tender chicken. I think this soup has actually made me develop a taste for all Southwestern type soups. The turkey sandwich was covered in this fantastic cheddar sauce... Perfect comfort food. The dressing on the salad was really nice too. It's usually pretty empty on the weekdays, but much livelier on the weekends. There's also been live music every time I've gone on a weekend, though the music's not really my style... Yeah, acoustic mid '90s pop rock... But, hell, I'll put up with acoustic Sublime for dinner and a white chocolate martini at midnight!

I will definitely be going back to Marlow's Tavern. We only intended to drop in for dinner, but didn't end up leaving until 12:30. It is exactly the kind of neighborhood joint where you can get a good meal and then camp out and kick back for a few more hours. That's exactly what a "tavern" should be. If there is one word to describe Marlow's, it is "balanced." As with the baby bear, there are a lot of things that are just right: - It was dark enough that it feels like a bar, but still light enough to see both your food and your friends. - The live music is loud enough to be enveloping but not so loud that you can't hold a conversation across a table. - The menu isn't huge, but it has a good variety that goes far past the "fried pub grub" standards and provides real meals at reasonable prices. Our food was really good. While there is a good selection of pub favorites such as cheese fries, hot wings and kettle chips, we came for dinner and weren't disappointed by choosing grilled salmon and grilled chicken ponzu. The salmon was well done and the chicken ponzu was interesting and good. The best part of the meal was the shitake mushroom pot stickers that came with the ponzu. They were a very good variation on the meat pot stickers that are standard fare at Asian restaurants. Yum. Most of the entrees are between $10 and $20, and there is a broad selection of burgers, melts and wraps for under $10. The decor is dark and contemporary. The use of dark stained woods and seating sets a relaxing tone. While there were the typical Midtown collection of flat paneled TVs, they were placed in a way that is much less annoying than in most other restaurants and bars. The ceiling is high enough, and the TVs are placed far enough up the walls, that they don't draw your attention if you're not actively watching them. They just fade into the background. At the same time, though, you won't have to crane your neck if you are watching. There was live music, but the point of the music didn't seem to be that people come for the band -- just that it provide atmosphere. The band was good enough that you'd occasionally pay attention to a song, but the less interesting songs didn't annoy. They also had the sweet spot on volume. It was definitely loud enough that you could enjoy being wrapped in the music, but could still carry on a conversation without straining. Marlow's Tavern is a good addition to Midtown. There is a good enough selection of food, beer (40), wine and liquor to keep most people happy. The atmosphere is inviting and the staff is fun. That makes for a good neighborhood bar.

Gumbo was great. Service is a bit slow, an for some reason the AC was not on so it felt a little too much like being in New Orleans!!!

Sweetwater IPA on tap. That really is the beginning and the end for me. Service is okay, the menu is about what you would expect, the decor is typical mid-town pub, and there is the usual bevy of plasma TVs streaming sports in Hi-Def. The crowd tends to be mid-town yuppy with a few trans-atlanta urbanites sprinkled across the bar and patio. Not much to write home about; but did I mention that they have Sweetwater IPA on tap?

This is my 'home away from home.' Living in Plaza Midtown, we are just an elevator ride away from this welcome addition to our community! Try the Black and Blue Steak Salad and the awesome fries! Always friendly bartenders that remember your name! Tell Jeff, the manager I sent you!

ok so marlow tavern. only been there once and it was quite a bit ago. went in for brunch. so bacially bruch is set up in sort of a buffet style deal. everything are in chaffing dishes with some sternos under to keep it warm. they change it out as it gets low or starts to get old. so that in itself was ok and good to see. also they keep an eye on it and stir or shuffle around the food that should be so that it doesnt get over cooked. Now onto the place itself... marlows is an ok looking place. honestly i find it a little strange at first look.. its kind of like old tavern meets modern bar. they have some old tavern style wooden booths as well as some upscale more sophisticated bar area. so the mix is a bit strange to me... Service as far as i can remember was ok. of course we didnt need to much of it since we stopped in for bruch and pretty much everything except for the drinks were self serve... OH but i do recall having to wait for a water refill... NOT KOOL. The food.. so the food at marlows was decent to say the least. they have quite a decent selection for a brunch menu with a lot of the staples you would be expecting like eggs pancakes bacon sausage etc.. then some that u dont.. such as crab cake benedict. Yes the crab cake benedict seems like it would be amazing.. and i have to say they go pretty quick... they are visually appealing and its a great concept. however my personal opinion of them was EPIC FAIL. wow it was horrible.. i have to say i took one bite and was like NO THANKS..... other than that most of the other food seemed to be ok. they had some decent chicken wings if i remember correctly. So over all i would say its an ok place. was a bit pricy for the semi lack luster bruch of which i attended. however i normally dont do brunch so i dont know how prices in atlanta range. (is was around 15) this place was ok i was there with friends so might have overlooked a lot of things i normally would have been more particular on. personally i dont know if i will go back. but i might give it another shot. probably not for brunch again though.

i love love love Marlow's Tavern. i've never had a bad experience. i typically stay pretty safe with my choices from the menu. The chicken panini is really good and the buffalo chicken wrap! lastnight i decided to get the the chicken queso tortilla soup (something like that). it was really good!!! and their kitchen is open until 2am!! la la la.

Got here late night with a party of around ten. I usually don't order anything too complicated late at night. Lots of potential complications, chefs / cooks are tired, wait staff is ready to leave etc. I ordered a chicken wrap and some of my friends raved about the fish tacos. I passed on that and when our orders came around their fish tacos were too salty, burnt etc. We let the waiter know and he went back to the kitchen to try to get the fish tacos right. The manager came out with dishes of fish tacos, a sincere apology and stated that this round of fish tacos were going to be great. My friends dug in and as promised, the fish tacos were delicious. I tasted one and agreed with them. I will go back there soon and will order the fish tacos on the first go around.

The brunch buffet was pretty darn good... surprise by their crab-cakes..(the egg could be slightly poached rather then hard boiled..) I like breaking the eggs and let it ooze on the English muffin..sadly these eggs were overcooked..but for a 15.99 buffet.. I can't complain about their spread. I was very much satisfied especially having my poor friend and Yelper Leslie E. drive us from Parish (terrible waiting service..read my review..) to Marlow's.. we were starving and the staff was quick to seat and serve us.. if you ever eaten buffet you know how it works, just get seated and go on your way to fill up your plate. The buffet is offered until 3pm, and they have a guy making omelets.. he was very generous with the butter... alittle too generous..it was so rich but I can't complain. The salad bar was a little pathetic no cherry tomatoes.. I was disappointed.. but overall the food was descent for the price. All you can eat?? with a large group of friends, this can be an awesome place to meet up for brunch. Just don't do it every Sunday Brunch.. too much of a good thing will kill you!

Was meeting a buddy across the street Sunday night for drinks and Marlow's seemed like a good place to hang for a few drinks. More upscale than a tavern in the traditional sense but not quite a lounge. Not a big menu to choose from but the stuff they had was good and moderately priced. My buddy and I split some nachos, calamari and firecracker shrimp. Nachos and squid were ok, and the shrimp was better than average. Would've just given three stars but our service was excellent.

Props to Marlow's for having Strongbow beer!-my 2nd favorite. But the Tavern in the name is misleading, I think. It's a notch above what you would think a Tavern is. I also wouldn't call it a pub. Their menu is a little more sophisticated. No chips and salsa or queso. Instead they have queso soup and other soups of the day. Instead of nachos, you have shrimp and crab "nachos." Instead of dip, you have hummus...not your ordinary tavern menu..but all pretty tasty. The only thing I wouldn't order is the salad. I've had better in Midtown. There is a parking garage, but it's hidden around the corner. Also, try to sit in Darrin's wait area. He's the est!

Didn't suck. Nice ambiance and company (hey, Kelly P!) and the food was quite tasty. I especially enjoyed the crab and shrimp nachos and the hummus was yummus. Nice looking crowd of yuppies and locals, too.

I stumbled across this bar one late night. The atmosphere is great and the food is event better. I wanted to try everything on the menu. The crab and shrimp nachos are delicious. And its open late

I have been for drinks and appetizers after work and thought the food and service pretty good. Went for lunch today, and was utterly unimpressed. We were told that that the lunch menu is new- it is nothing special. I got a chicken wrap- the tortilla had ridges on it to look like it had been pressed in a panini machine- but I am 99% sure that they were fake lines- made in a factory. My friends "panin" likewise had ridges on the bread but sure did not look like it had been toasted in a panini maker. What will Sysco think of next? Our food took a long time to come, and then our server started taking plates away while several of us had just gotten started. My plate was actually taken while I had my fork in my mouth! So, with so many other places in the neighborhood for lunch, probably not again.

I have been here a few times now - once for a weekday lunch and then again for lunch on New Year's Day and finally once for brunch ( I have yet to go there in the evening). Each time, the food was very good and the menu was pretty diverse. I tried the fish tacos, which were nice enough, and the New England clam chowder on my first visit. The clam chowder was the soup du jour ("it's the soup of the day") and it was really good. I don't know if they always have it on Fridays but I want to go back when they have it again. On my New Year's Day visit, I have to admit Marlow's was a second choice to a more crowded brunch spot (I wanted comfort food but I really needed just any food so we went where we could get in right away). I ordered the Shrimp & Crab "Nacho" Plate and the jalapeno corn grits. It was definitely comfort food with a nice spicy kick. The "Nacho" Plate is not really a plate of nachos (as was explained to me) but flat breads arranged nicely on a plate an covered with cheese, seafood and jalapenos - very good. The jalapeno cheese grits were heavenly. I could definitely make a meal out of clam chowder and grits at Marlow's! I also had a really good Bloody Mary on that visit and my friend had a big cup of coffee with cream, which was readily refilled and which he really enjoyed. He ordered the special of the day on New Year's Day which was a spot-on plate of honey-baked ham, greens, black-eyed peas and cornbread which I am sure will bring him much luck in the New Year! For Sunday brunch, I had a very good breakfast burrito in which they happily omitted the chorizo sausage for me. It comes with a sweet and spicy jalapeno sauce and had lots of goat cheese, asparagus, eggs and other veggies. Without the chorizo, it lost some of its spiciness but it was still very good. I tried my friend's French toast, which was huge, and it was good, too. When we could finally get our Bloody Marys at exactly 12:30 PM on Sunday, they were excellent again, as well (we pre-ordered and got them as soon as was legally possible). I live near enough to Marlow's to walk but, even so, I can greatly appreciate the plentiful free parking they have. It makes it such an easy place for meeting people who cannot walk there. I am glad Marlow's is in my neighborhood : ) UPDATE: Recently tried the buffalo chicken wrap (grilled) and it was really good. I devoured it - clean plate club!

Good food, friendly staff, good music, lots of TVs...due to Comcast's continued incompetence, I had to find a place with free wi-fi and TVs to watch Duke basketball. Staff was happy to sit us near an outlet so I could use my laptop, and they put the Duke game on for us. Not the healthiest menu I've ever seen, but the Fish Tacos were delicious as was the fried okra. Apple Crisp was good as well.

Third trip to Marlow's for lunch yesterday. It was pretty packed and service was kind slow. We were in a group of six. We had their hummus and warmed pita bread appetizer. I really liked their hummus. One of my colleagues had to ask twice for mustard for his bison burger. I had a Monterrey Jack Chicken Salad. Unfortunately, they gave my order to someone else so I had to wait a while after everyone else was served. I was somewhat disappointed because the salad I was served did not look anything like the one I saw on their website. "Grilled chicken, crisp romaine, tomato, red onion, cucumber, in a warm tortilla bowl with pepper jack cheese, toasted cashews and chipotle vinaigrette." They served me the salad without the tortilla bowl. Instead, the tortilla flakes on top of the salad. The chipotle vinaigrette was light and tangy. The food was still OK. The salad was good but nothing spectacular. --------------------------------------------------Â--------------------------------------------- At this point, I don't see Marlow's rating moving much. My fourth trip back and I had a buffalo chicken wrap. Not bad but nothing spectacular. The only reason I come back now is because it is close to work, but I might cut back on Marlow's because its busy during lunch which makes the service is a little slow.

I hosted a birthday here for a group of 12 last Saturday and they did a SUPERB job! Ian and Jeff were the managers on duty and our server (forgot her name but she has a look alike working there as well!). All orders were taken timely, food came out hot, the food was yummmy and the drinks were flowing (could have been just a bit stronger though). The chicken meal was great and the salmon was the group's most popular dish. Definitely try the shrimp appetizer. We didn't have dessert as we had brought an awesome cake in but I am sure they have great stuff. I would recommend sitting at the table right where the patio starts. It was perfect weather. They were even good with separate checks and made sure the couples ended up on the same one and the others got their individual checks. I have zero complaints and 100 praises for this new spot I have discovered and look forward to returning soon. Thanks guys for making it perfect!

Went for a drink late night. I liked the overall atmosphere, but there was a strange phenomenon going on where the restaurant really wasn't crowded at all, but everyone in there was standing right by the bar, so it was very difficult to get up there to get a drink or to move around generally. Also, I think like 3 glasses were dropped while I was there-- come on people, learn to hold your liquor! I'll try it again. I wonder if they have TVs for college football???

Stopped by Marlow's with some friends from Macon and their SIX kids after attending an event at GA Tech. With that said, wanted someplace easy to park since we were in three different cars and they had a kids menu. The server was great while waiting on us at one table an the kids at another table. Everyone enjoyed their meals without any fuss since there were so many of us.

One thing I really liked about this place as soon as I walked in was the warm interior. And it wasn't just the decor. There was a very positive, gregarious, "Cheers" kinda vibe to the place on this sunday night when I visited. maybe it had to do w/ the Olympics closing ceremonies goin on?? the Canadians are rubbing off on us!:) nah, I think this place just knows what it's doing. We sat ourselves (now I will say we were confused about how to get seated b/c noone was at the entry) at one of the tall tables near the bar and was energetically greeted by the waiter taking our drink orders right away and gave us menus. Liked that. It made me forget the awkwardness of seating ourselves. Since it was my first time here, I ordered their tavern burger. Quite thick and tasty. it was so filling I could only eat a half tho. the fries could be better. I'd love to see them change to shoe-string fries--love skinny fries! or better yet, sweet potatoe fries! and would love to see them filter their water too. I think I binged on coke b/c my water tasted "tappy". (I need all the help I can get to make me drink more H20!) oh, and their flatbread was pretty delish. Overall, I think i was most impressed w/ the atmosphere and the service that night. at one point, when the food runner brought us our food, his sleeve touched the straw in my coke (which I didn't even notice b/c I was staring at my burger, nor would I be that petty to care) and he immediately brought me another straw wrapped in a napkin. that's what I call 5-star service!! I'll be back to this place to try their other yummy dishes!

A staple for a socialite in Midtown. I dont care who you are, its a reliable dinner and brunch option. Its hard to find both in the same place. I love the dinners at all Marlow's locations (been to 3) but love this one now ever since I moved ITP. They have a solid menu and strong drinks if you know how to ask. The atmosphere is homely and comfortable but not so much you feel like your having a regular joe night out. Its as unpretentious as homely can get I guess is the best way to put it. The nights are solid and great but the brunch is not one to miss. My friends and I were loyal every sunday for many months. The buffet is top notch. A great mix of breakfast and lunch that can be so hard for some "claimed" brunch establishments but here it all flowed with little effort it would seem. over all the food is great if not superb. The scene is hot and the people are too. Its a great way to start the evening or cure a hangover sunday morning. Check it out and get the brunch, if it peaks your interest come back for dinner. Im sure it will please

Checked out Marlows' $14.99 Brunch Buffett this past Sunday and it's pretty good. The selection included Eggs Benedict on Crabcakes, Blueberry Sausages, Jalepeno Cheese Grits, an omlette station and a couple of wierd items like Vegetable Stir-Fry and Chicken Penne pasta. I guess the last couple of dishes were for the lunch crowd. They also open pretty early (around 10am) which is handy too.
