Heard on here it was so good but I can't agree with that statement.  The Gravy tasted like it came out of a can and frozen biscuit.

Well, Breakfast was a bust for us. The long line took 32 minutes to order and when we got home we weren't happy at all. My Biscuit and Gravy with Bacon wasn't so good. The Gravy tasted like it came fresh out of a can and the Biscuit was frozen type (no flavor). The Bacon was hard, thick and crispy but did have flavor. Husband ordered Eggs, Sausage and Grits. The eggs were cooked correctly, Sausage was like a brick (hard) and grits ( I think we got what was left in bottom of pot) hardly any at all. Definately sticking to Lunch there. Lunch is great :)

This place is so out of date it is unbelievable. Dirty & run down. We had never been here before & have always wanted to go. The parking lot is always just about full. Boy is that a shocker! The food is not good @ all. My husband had slaw as one of his side's & I had macaroni salad as one of mine. They were both store bought not homemade. Ugh! They were horrible. I had mashed potatoes as the other side. They were so thick. The women's bathroom...well I want get into that. We will not be back.

Double chili cheeseburger

Every time i'm in Marion, I tell myself that i'm going to try something new, but I always end up here again. My usual is the double chili cheeseburger, which has become my favorite burger anywhere. If you're in town, you gotta try them.

BBQ!yummy fries!

I always stop here on my way up to Little Switzerland and get a BBQ sandwich! They are so good! They also have the best chicken pita and fries.Tony his staff are very friendly.Dont let the old building fool you- it is crowded here for a reason. Great fast food and great prices!

Everytime I travel I try to find a mom and pop restaurant. I'm happy i found this place. I ordered a big breakfast...half order of pancakes, eggs, sausage, grits and toast. I was hungry! It was delicious and fulfilling. The ladies were friendly and fun to talk to. They even made scrambled eggs and bacon for my dog. If you are looking for laid back, quick service with great food, this is the place.

Gyro platter

Delicious!! We stopped here as we were passing through and were pleasantly surprised. In the mood for gyros this place hit the spot! The meat was tender and well seasoned. Fast and friendly service. Well worth the stop.

Great place for excellent cheap local eats

Had breakfast here twice while visiting the area. Gotta be the best breakfast place in town for hot, delicious, inexpensive food. The local places are always the best. Busy place. I had bacon eggs biscuit and gravy $4.95!! Yummy tasty country thick bacon.

Best Gyro in Marion! Great burgers, fries and onion rings. When I make it back to Marion to visit family, Bantam Chef is a must stop!

I have never written a bad review before but I feel so strongly about our experience I just had the…read moreshare. We had lunch/brunch today with several friends. It had to be one of the Worst meals I've had in a long time. Out of the 10 meals, only 3 people enjoyed theirs. One of the couples in our group had eaten here several times and they said they have never had a bad experience until today. The biggest complaint was with the roasted vegetables. They were not just roasted they were incinerated and apparently the chef tried to mask that with salt! Doesn't sound like a big deal but 3 of us had a meal that was centered around the vegetables. Holy smokes every meal except the shrimp and grits was brining with salt. Another concern was that we arrived with reservations at 12:00. It was 2:30 when we left. The restaurant was not busy. I have No intention of returning.

We made Valentine's Day reservations four months in advance, noting that one of us was vegetarian…read more Less than 24 hours before our scheduled reservation, we received a text from the restaurant that they would not accommodate vegetarians. This left us scrambling to make alternative dinner plans on one of the busiest nights of the year, which was not how we intended to spend the holiday. Blanton House's lack of flexibility, empathy, and remorse was shocking, and we will not attempt to go back.
