Read that "Philadelphia eats here" and decided to go. Very good place, cool prices and tasty food. Try the Grilled chicken cobb salad with blue cheese , it's awesome!

Brian Van Nieuwenhoven

Diner-style food, a little nicer than average, with an admirable selection of beers (for a place that’s not a craft beer joint). We enjoyed our vegetable capellini & chicken cobb salad

Paige Rachel

Ate here on a Friday night, it wasn't too busy even though we still made a reservation . Cheesesteak wonton appetizer was delicious! Asked to split two plates and they were still big portions !

Philadelphia Magazine

Don't be afraid to bring your kids! No one will complain! The menu here (featuring the mini version of their nearly famous matzoh ball soup ), offers more than your average burger/pizza/chicken nugget. Read more

Colleen Shea

Great place for a casual lunch or dinner with friends lots of healthy and non healthy options to choose from! The 'control freak salad ' is everything!

Jordan P

the salmon burger with sweet potato fries was one of the best meals I have ever had. definitely will be ordering again.

Lynn Arocho

Try the Marathon Fries . The home fries with everything. Instant addiction for myself and everyone I know who's tried them.

Philadelphia Magazine

Go here for brunch ! You'll find eggs on a croissant with bacon , Gouda and apple ; whole wheat apple-cinnamon pancakes ; and lots and lots of coffee . Read more

Lawrence Chen

I used to mix this restaurant with shake shack. Good service that I never expected. The waitress know she should bring salt and pepper together, two straws if you order juice . Pay 20% tip for good.

Mikhail B

You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. The Marathon Breakfast is as good as it sounds but do not expect to finish it in one sitting.

Hollie Sick

Great selection and fresh food . The smoked salmon omelet is delicious. Their coffee is local too!

Mikhail B

The Rioja wine a rare find. Pay the $10 because it is more interesting than Merlot , Chardonnay , and Pinot .

Miss Mikki

Great atmosphere....try the southwest salad (yummy), only downside is poor customer service from the servers!!!

Greg Maughan

Nice simple brunch spot just off Rittenhouse. Good back up plan if Parc is too pricey and Day by Day is full or has a long wait .

Chris Mcfadden

Like this place. Had the blackened chicken , swapped out the provolone for white cheddar . And it comes with hand cut fries .

Philadelphia Magazine

The pint-sized happy hour offers a half-off kids menu with options like matzoh ball soup with chicken and veggies and peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat bread . (M-F 5-6PM) Read more

Ty Isley

The banana brioche French toast is amazing. With a side of turkey sausage , such a filling and yummy breakfast .

Laura Wong

Pretty hipstery place. Good food, great smoothies , service is friendly but a little alow

Sherry O

The espresso smoothie is delish! The whole wheat banana pancakes were great, as was the bacon , Swiss, tomato omelette . The turkey sausage was a dry, so avoid.

Andrew

Really amazing buffalo chicken sandwich . They include shredded celery and carrots on it!

Cristina Shipe

The smoked salmon eggs benedict was pretty good. Highly suggest the bloody mary .

Mikhail B

Turn over the menu. The front side is good but the back opens up a whole new world.

Kevin Arsenault

Try the marathon burger with a Yards pale ale .

Dan

Go with the Control Freak salad . There are tons of great toppings to choose from!

Dale Andrews

Menu is large. Almond and buckwheat pancakes where bomb yo.

Courtney

They're food is great and inexpensive for being locally grown !

Mikhail B

Try the vanilla milkshake .

Kian

The Banana Bread French Toast is to die for!

Patrick Ward

Good neighborhood restaurant . Cobb salad is tasty

Carlo De Castro

The grilled veggie salad is amazing! Best salad I ever had!

Steph Parker

Love a good Bloody Mary ? You may be surprised to learn that this Marathon adds the perfect amount of horseradish .

Chris Catania

The spruce salad special with salmon was fantastic!

Jenni Russell

$5 house wine and margaritas for happy hour , but it took forever to get my salad and they gave me the wrong change.

Lauren I.

Reasonably priced, delicious, and accessible.

Mil Muskett

Great on hot days.

Danielle Boudreau

Most perfectly poached eggs I've ever had!

Nicholas Graham

Great sandwiches and entrees.

Brendan Gall

Get the marathon homefries with ham , peppers , onions , and gruyere . Try subbing cheddar or adding Tabasco for a little extra spice! Bit marathon homefries are delicious!

Christopher Bonk

The marathon burger is the best thing to get. You will not be sorry!!

Eddie Wells

Ask for Jay. He will definitely take care of you. He's also the drink keeper.

Randall Bee

It was wonderful. Our salads were delicious.

JB Braun

The Banana /almond pancakes are bang'n! - Main Line Today Magazine

Lauren Brown

Chicken pot pie was simple yet delicioso!

Foxy Dvah

Mmm- Chicken Cobb salad is the best! Get it with Caesar dressing !

Erington M.

Better to go to the Marathon on broad & chestnut street in the morning if you want take out . The morning service @ this location is slow.

Len Smith

Grass fed beef and free range eggs for a good Paleo brunch .

Lindsay Duggan

Ask to sit in ladybug's section...he's the best server ever!! But don't tip him buahahaha

sauconrunner

They serve La Fin Du Monde and have amazing Mac n Cheese !

B.J. Ellis

Be mindful of when they'd charge credit cards. Make sure they do the correct amount. Honest mistake, just be mindful

Lauren S

The most bangin mocha espresso smoothie ..
