Best meatloaf I've ever had! – OK, I'm basing my review on 1 meal from my first (but definitely not last!) visit to the Marathon Grill on 16h and Samson. Also, I was hungry. But still, I'm sure that was the best meatloaf I've ever eaten -- quality meat, great consistency, very flavorful by itself, and then covered with a spicy/sweet ketchupy BBQ sauce that was just delicious. The wilted spinach tasted very fresh and was mixed with sliced garlic gloves, and the mashed potatoes were light and creamy (though they had nothing on... read more

A brunch full of surprises.... – We had an interesting experience at a recent brunch at Marathon Grill. My husband ordered the eggs benedict, I ordered the bacon egg and cheese sandwich on english muffin. He got a dish without any hollandaise sauce, I got a lump of scrambled eggs, no bacon, on a stale roll with a brown piece of avocado and barbecue sauce on top (yuck!) . Because it was so crowded and our food took a while to come, we decided to just suck it up and eat our brunches....but there were more surprises to come. Hu... read more

Good food but horrible service!! – I just went to this place today after researching it on Citysearch last night. It had a good menu and received some good reviews as a good brunch place so I thought I would take my family and try it out. I am now sorta regretting that decision. We arrived there about 11am and 2 of my family members went in ahead of my mom and I while we went to park the car. That took about 10-15 mins so we urged them to order while they waited for us. My mom and I ordered about 10 mins after my other famil... read more

Total Disappointment and Waste of Time – From the moment I walked into Marathon Grill, the disgruntled attitude of the hostess should have convinced me to walk right back out. As this was my first time there, I decided to give it a shot anyway. After waiting 20 min's for a table, I was finally seated in a table that was not only incredibly small and awkward even for 2, but it was also clearly in the path of incoming diners and wait staff. My waiter wasn't exactly rude, but he clearly either despises his job or simply doesn't... read more

The order is TYPED, but they can't get it RIGHT! – I am writing regarding this restaurant located at 16th and Sansome. My company has been ordering lunch every Friday, since September 2007, which are faxed in by 10:30 a.m. (until their fax machine stopped working). A fax document was created, so that the orders are typed to eliminate confusion, however, there were plenty of times that the salad dressings were missing or were put on the salads, when I request (in bold letters) that all salad dressings must be "on the side". W... read more

Upscale Diner, Good brunch – Went here for brunch on a saturday morning, 11am. 15 minute wait. upscale, but casual atmosphere. great omelettes. Great service. Nice compromise between good diner food and nice atmosphere. $10 brunch dishes.

Better than Denny's – Grand homemade fried potatoes. Cheeses are chosen specially for each dish. Serving size is ample. Atmosphere is that of an upscale diner. Pretty busy at brunch, so food was a little slow.

"Sorry, we're out of that." – went there twice only to find a long list of items that were no longer in stock. how can a restaurant be out of steaks, tuna, salmon, bananas, calamari, hamburgers, etc... all in one night? very disappointing even though service was good. also, hostess lies to your face about what's in stock and what's not, according to her "yeah, we have everything."
