Counter service was very good, but the food no so much. I walked there area for 5 min trying to figure out a place to eat and settled on this one. The cheesesteak was adequate is about all I can say. Price was fair for airport location. There are limited options in the area, so worth a shot. read more

I arrived at Pittsburgh International Airport at an ungodly hour not because I was concerned about the lack of TSA staff but because I had a rental car to return in the dead of winter. While I had no problem getting to the terminal, I arrived 3-1/2 hours before my flight. Not only did I have an espresso martini at 5AM at the appropriately named Martini (review: https://yelp.to/FLBmD_s2iS) but I decided to have breakfast here because frankly it was the one spot that was open earlier than the other airport eateries. I ordered a much needed $2 Coffee (Photo 2) and the $14.88 Western Omelette (Photo 4). First things first, I noticed only later that I was charged four dollars more without any explanation on the receipt. I should have noticed, but did I mention I already downed an espresso martini? The eggs were strangely overcooked with a paucity of ham and a strange texture to the cheddar cheese. Why didn't I rate it one star? The two slices of Italian toast and the crispy home fries improved the dish. Marginally. FOOD - 2 stars...not what I was hoping for AMBIANCE - 2 stars...just an airport space SERVICE - 1 star...was it a mistake or a nefarious act?...check your receipt before you sit down! TOTAL - 2 stars...very pricey for the level of quality or lack thereof RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://yelp.to/ErIIhZsER0 read more

Got the Marathon Gyro. It comes with fries or slaw so chose fries. That and a diet coke was 20 bucks. The menu touts Greek fare so a gyro is in their wheelhouse. I'm not that impressed. OK. In fairness, I did lookup whether lettuce belonged on a traditional gyro and it does NOT. Fair enuff because there was a wee bit of lettuce, and, by wee bit, I mean traces, not even a 1/16th of a leaf. So, before I complained here about a lack of lettuce, I wanted to be sure of the intention. Soo, fine. But, still, it wasn't a sandwich worthy of a place saying they do Greek fare. I've had way better at Orthodix Greek church festivals. read more

Marathon Diner - Marathon gyro with fries - Salad Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I got the My Big Fat Greek Omelette, which was pretty good (4/5), especially for airport food! The omelette itself was great! It was pretty big, and I really liked the gyro meat! The home fries were also good (4/5), and they give you a lot of them. The toast is ok (3/5), and the tzatziki is also good (4/5)! I was pleasantly suprised by how good and how much food there was, especially for the price and it's location in the airport. It is an order, grab, and go place, but the service was quick, and the staff was friendly (4/5)! Overall, I think this would be a competitive breakfast option even if it wasn't in the airport! read more

Marathon Diner - My Big Fat Greek Omelette - Salad Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I just had an outstanding meal while waiting to depart from PIT. I had a traditional gyro and fries. My wife had their lemon chicken soup. My gyro was incredible. Meat was high quality and had a great flavor. The sauce was excellent. The sprinkling of onions and tomatoes were spot on. The pita was super soft and fresh. The fries were very hot and yummy, just as I like them. Seriously, my meal was outstanding. My wife said her soup was great, too. It was served super hot, which is exactly what she expects. Highly recommend this place. Skip C-Filet right across the path. Skip the new Shake Shack right next door. You can get a chicken sandwich or burger anywhere. Next time I'm here for an early flight, I'm trying their breakfast. read more

Pittsburgh airport is undergoing a lot of changes at the moment and many of the usual food options have disappeared...marathon diner might be the best option for a quick bite. They feature a bunch of Greek options (gyros, salads) along with burgers and sandwiches. I got a gyro and fries For the gyro, the pita was soft and tender, definitely fresh. The meat on the sandwich was plentiful and well seasoned. Great portion size Also really the fries that came along were hot and crispy I also appreciate the fact that they sell bottled beverages so you can pack extra in your carry on for the journey. Would definitely come back on future visits to this airport read more

We were at PGH airport for an early flight. Marathon Diner opened at 4 AM. It's in a corridor with quite a few other restaurants. Glad we chose this one. The employees were friendly and prepared the food quick! Got the two egg combo that comes with home fries and sausage or bacon as well as this amazing Italian bread. They have many choices on the menu including breakfast sandwiches, eggs your way, omelets, pancakes and french toast. Appreciate this diner was open for a much needed breakfast before a long day of traveling. read more

I don't know if it's just me... I got a gyro. The bread was soggy, and I couldn't taste the tatziki. The coleslaw was very vinegary, practically inedible. The service was fast as it is inside the Pittsburgh airport. It came out hot, so it was very promising. read more

Marathon Diner - Salad Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

You can tell the owner is a hard-working dude! He was behind the counter today slinging gyros and breakfast food. Loved finding this more "local" spot within the Airport where you are usually surrounded by chains. It was the smell that drew me in! The veggie gyro was pretty solid. I would have liked to have seen some falafel or feta cheese on there for protein. The wrap was a little soggy. Also, I was missing the Mediterranean seasoning from the wrap. The fries were okay (I added a lot of salt and pepper). This place is getting 4 stars for the backstory and the hardworking team! read more

Marathon Diner - Veggie gyro - Salad Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Marathon Diner is a casual restaurant that is located inside the airport. This restaurant serves breakfast foods, sandwiches, burgers, gyros, salads, sides, and beverages. Prices are OK for an airport. In the morning before our flight, my husband and I felt hungry for breakfast. At this restaurant, we did not have to wait in line long to order our food. Several minutes later, an employee handed the food over to us. The employee forgot to give me my bacon, so I requested it, and they quickly gave it to me. The food was simple but tasted good. Our bacon was perfectly crispy. Our toast was nicely toasted, and jellies in different flavors were available. Our potatoes and our eggs were cooked well. We enjoyed the taste of our orange juices. Some tables and chairs were nearby. read more

Exactly as advertised, this food has the look and flavor that you'd expect from your favorite diner with a bit higher prices. With that said, the portion size was very generous and easily fed two while the taste was pretty good. I also liked how there were breakfast options available all day. read more

When I arrived at the terminal something smelled great! I couldn't tell if it was Marathon or McDonald's. Well it turns out to have been McDonald's. I chose Marathon. I should have gone for the burger but opted for the Philly steak. Bad choice. Paying for it now. Stomach is churning and about to board a plane. Not a good situation. Especially for those sitting near the bathroom on the plane. Poor people. Not sure I will go back anytime soon. Maybe I'll do the McDonald's. It's probably a good thing the steak and cheese barely covered the roll or it may have been worse!!!! read more

The chicken sandwich was the best ever. So juicy and delicious. They used a leak proof bag with handles which was perfect for running to your plane. I'll stop again at a Marathon. read more

I was back in Pittsburgh to pick my daughter up from college amid the rapid COVID-19 shutdown. It had been 7 months since I last ate at the Marathon Diner so I OBVIOUSLY had to come back. May I just say that even though I couldn't eat my omelette (because why would I even get anything else) until I arrived in Charlotte, everything was still so very tasty. Ingredients continue to be solid, good quality and the omelette itself was still beautifully constructed. I really wish they had a Marathon Diner in Hawaii where we live! So have you tried Marathon Diner get? No? What are you waiting for?! Get on over there! read more

I don't expect much from most airport food, but this was perfect! My eggs were right and so was the bacon! I am not a big breakfast potato eater, but also very good! And the bread!! Delicious! Everything was cooked to order and was done exactly as I requested! The woman who was at the register (I think her name was Sherry) was amazing! I asked for some water to clean a stain off my dress, and she gave me HOT water and a cloth that was much sturdier than a napkin! Let's see..... great food, great service! Yep!! I'm a fan!! read more

Had the gyro salad and it was delicious. Unlike many airport places, they don't skimp on the goods.

Oh my Lord! I had the best, the absolute *best* French toast of my life at the airport served by Marathon Diner! It was so delicious, made very quickly and I ordered my protein as breakfast sausage patty. I layered the French toast with my patty and only used one of two generous portions of syrup. It was the kind of meal that makes your eyes roll back! Never thought that I would book a trip just to go to an airport diner but I LOVE MARATHON DINER! If it was a person, I would marry it! My food was that good. No, I didn't take a picture - I was starving when I walked up and this fit the bill. I felt so happy after this meal. read more

Rating 5 stars on the Airport Food scale. Big portions and satisfying. I had 2 eggs, scrambled, with sausage, home fries, and toast. The coffee was good too. This is a much, much better option than the fast food places next to it. read more

Gosh I love this place! You get tons of food And it's so fresh! I've literally tried almost everything on the menu, because I come here every time I'm at the airport. So far I literally recommend everything on the menu, but the onion rings are so amazing along with her Philly cheese steaks FYI read more

I'm no breakfast person, especially before an early flight. However, it seemed smart to get a meal in before heading in for a longer flight. Originally we looked at other chains but saw Marathon. Appears to be a Pittsburgh local item, there was one near downtown though not sure if this is the only one remaining. There is a bit of a wait (~10-15min) but it is worth it if you have the time. Crispy, fluffy home fries, tasty eggs and good breakfast meats. Normal eggs and omelette are both good and seem fresh prepared. Price is also good ($10-12/meal) even for airport, I would not be upset to have this at a diner anywhere. The Italian bread is also crispy and delicious, and there is butter, ham, and ketchup/hot sauce which go really well with the offerings. Additionally, they have Greek offerings (gyro and some sandwiches) which looked good and seemed available at breakfast time, but that will have to wait for another day. In short, try this place, you will not be disappointed! read more

One of the best places to grab food at the Pittsburgh airport. Diner. Style. Breakfasts. How can you go wrong? I was recently visiting QUITE early (4:30 am) and there was a crazy long line at both Dunkin & McDonald's- as many other restaurants were not open yet. You know what else was open that has BETTER food and a FASTER line... Marathon! I was able to get a delicious homemade meal that hit the spot before my flight and long day. I've never been disappointed with my experience at Marathon. read more

Always the place to eat when we travel. This morning we had the worst food ever, added ingredients and not close to a tablespoon of cheese, and very little spinach and prices have risen. Staff unfriendly. Disappointed read more
