    Men's Single Restroom
    Justin S.

    Great lunch spot at the Avalon. Well diversified menu and it appears they even allow service animals to dine with patrons on the extended patio seating. The greeting upon entering was very nice. But it did take a few moments for our actual server to make it to the table and take our order. She was sweet when she finally arrived. Best to park in the deck close to the new arcade experience place. From there it's just a short walk to Marlow's front door.

    House, meat, veggie burger, phenomenal as are the fries!

    I must've forgotten to review this wonderful restaurant the last time we were in Atlanta. Both times we stopped in for lunch and the overall experience was just fantastic. You are warmly greeted by a host or hostess, they have a full bar area and many tables and booths that are very comfortable. The service is exceptional, all the waiters and servers seem to work in concert with everybody and they all seem very happy to work there. The place is very clean and now let's talk about the food! The menu is very eclectic, something for everyone, and the food is so fresh everything is house made! This is the second time I've had their veggie burger and it is off the charts as are the fries that come with it. My wife had the grilled chicken sandwich, which was excellent and we shared the homemade hummus. It is the best we've ever had. The drinks are also excellent. They make a perfect old-fashioned. I ordered a Sam Adams and the draft beer was the perfect temperature, perfect pour with a clean glass. Just everything you would want and expect! We even got a visit from one of the chefs who was very happy that we loved the food and the service so much.

    Weekend lunch at Marlows for a comfy meal. The place had a vibe and was busy. Service was great and friendly. Food was good, filling, and hit the spot. Enjoyed the kettle chips the best. The spicy margarita wasn't spicy at all but the flavor was good. Casual dining place with a nice vibe.

    5 stars for service, solid cuisine and vibe! It's been a while since I visited Marlow's and I forgot how much I loved it. But the real differentiator this time was the service. We were greeted by a friendly host and seated immediately. Alexis was our server and she was amazing. She even had the kitchen split all our entrees in half and serve on individual plates because we wanted to share a few different things. We had the Tacos and the Grouper Sandwich as well as the Caesar salad. Everything was prepared perfectly. I'll definitely prioritize Marlow's on my restaurant rotation.

    Banh Mi wrap
    Divya R.

    Went for a lunch on a working afternoon and had a great experience. Tried kettled Chips from appetizers section and chicken panini, banh mi wrap and fish tacos. Kettle chips were based on the same concept as nachos and were really good ! Fish tacos and chicken panini was good as well. Loved the Banh mi wrap - very nicely prepared.. and came with fries but small quantity overall and I didn't mind with more veggies and less chicken but good to balance that out. Service and ambience was nice.

    Service needs major revamp. The booth: After a long day of walking around the Avalon, my friends and I stopped by Marlow's as it was the closest thing to us. After being seated in the patio area, my friends were chilly and found the seats uncomfortable. I spoke with the hostess to see if we could be switched to a booth. She asked us to wait for one to be cleared and I expressed we were happy to wait. After waiting ten minutes the hostess comes to us and asks if we still wanted a booth. We replied yes we would still like a booth. We then watch a busser clean a booth right in front of us, and we spectate as the hostess proceeds to seat two new guests (who arrived after us) at the booth. Our server comes and then says "it looks like you decided to stay" to which I responded "no, we still wanted a booth", and then after speaking with the hostess our server reports back that another booth would take too long. We figure no worries, it was busy, and we proceeded to order. The cutlery: after receiving our food, I realized we never received cutlery. I requested cutlery. We received cutlery. I ordered a steak and had not received a steak knife, so I had to call the server again to get a steak knife. The food: this where things go south for me. I ordered a filet mignon, a tall order at a tavern, I recognize. I asked for it to be cooked medium. My steak, instead of a single 8oz cut, arrives as two 4oz chunks. It is clear that the outside is charred rather than seared, and immediately upon cutting it is clear that the steak is more than well done. I report this to the staff and they ask me to scoop my steak onto a separate plate for them to take away and refire. Now my sides (a mushroom snap pea salad and potatos Anna) are getting cold as I wait for my steak to be redone. In the interim, the server comes and asked if I'd like a salad, soup, or fries while I am waiting. I ask for regular fries. A man who I presume was the manager stops by, apologizes for the steak, and brings me a cheddar soup (which I enjoyed but never asked for), and informs me my fries are on the way. My fries never come to the table. The replacement steak arrives, again in two 4oz chunks but this time cooked to order. I'll say the highlight of this dish were the potatoes Anna. Other food: Friend A felt her grilled chicken sandwich was dry and requested an Aoli sauce. Friend B ordered the buffalo wings which she described as "just okay". Friend C enjoyed her Fish tacos. The reason I gave the review a 2 instead of a 1: the server was incredibly friendly, and I appreciated the manager's attempt to correct the experience. However, the hostess' decision to seat the other two in the booth we requested without ever following up with us made me feel like a second class citizen, I never received the fries I had asked for, a clearly overcooked steak was served out of the kitchen, and we had to ask for cutlery. While my first time at this location, this was the fourth Marlow's tavern I visited, and I've never returned to one. My expectations are generally low for this franchise, and I came today because my friends suggested it. But from my experiences combined I am unlikely to return to another Marlow's.

    Shrimp dish
    Aditya C.

    Marlow's Tavern is a fun bar/restaurant hybrid located in Avalon. There is a restaurant-styled seating area, but there is also more casual seating with televisions broadcasting sports. For appetizers, we ordered the buffalo wings which were the right about if crispy, though I would prefer a little bit more sauce on the wings. For our entrees, the shrimp dish (do not remember the exact name but it was one of the specialty items) was tasty and came with a good portion of food. I ordered the Pressed Cubano, which was also tasty but they only gave half of a sandwich as the main portion. Since it was so good I was left wanting more. Unfortunately the fries were bland and not crispy enough for my liking. Our service was very good, and our waitress ensured all of our needs were met. We did not have to wait much between ordering our food and having it brought to our table, which I really appreciated. This restaurant is also relatively less expensive compared to the other restaurants in Avalon. Overall Marlow's Tavern is a great option for eating in Avalon, and I enjoyed my experience there!

    New fashioned, which has a banana liqueur that is a bit sweet but not overpoweringly so
    Binita P.

    I'd say that everything in the Marlow's experience wavers between 3 and 4 stars. It kind of inspires one of those "great, but..." responses. LOCATION: It's Avalon and it's a Marlow's - both have their own personalities and all. Marlow's Tavern here is located near the Regal, Antico, and Kona Grill, so it's a slight walk from wherever you might park [especially] if the weather's unfriendly. Marlow's itself is pretty standard across the board with people having their preferences for which location they like best. While none are quite a hit or miss for me, I do notice some inconsistencies across visits. SERVICE: In generally, wait staff is professional and friendly. They often get busy and don't check in too often, and the layout of the restaurant makes it tough to track down the person serving your table. Most wait staff likes to suggest a few items off the menu and can help direct you through the menu, though with more of their own bias than a popular opinion. FOOD: Each dish has aspects to it that are incredible and then aspects that are a disappointment. Appetizers are good, and the staff is happy to make recommendations (which is usually the dip currently on the menu) The waitress (and apparently chef) and I agreed on ordering the salmon cooked medium, yet it came out a medium rare or even pinker. Resultingly, it just didn't pair too well with the tabouleh and sauce flavorings. The asparagus fries are amazing, and you won't find them in many places beyond a Marlow's, but they're extremely salty and heavy on the breading. The chicken stack is one of my favorite dishes, though I'm biased because of my love for cauliflower mash, crunchy green beans, brussel sprouts, and shiitake mushrooms. DRINKS: I always want to like them, so I order them a very specific way so I can control the sweetness and water content, which I find helps with the balance. They also have a full bar, so feel free to order what you like. Let's say that the drinks are worthwhile if you're in the mood for a drink, but it's not necessarily worth checking out the menu to see if you'll be inspired. Chances are, the menu will indeed inspire you, but the drink will then disappoint. Overall, yes, I'll return here. However, I'll stick with the menu items I prefer rather than branching out too much.

    Gluten free tavern burger
    Nicole W.

    Nice place to pop in and watch a game. Nothing that blew us away but everyone enjoyed their burger. Mine came out hot but my date's was luke warm so that was a bummer for him. We sat at the bar and were well attended to. Oh and they have a separate gluten free menu!

    Outside entry door by theater
    Sydney B.

    While the wait might be long at times, I've never had bad service here. The food runs on the side of health conscious but you'll still be winning with the Long Island teas and can even nab a crème brûlée. The vibe is sports bar meets a fancier version of Applebees. It's literally next to the Regal theater and the center park where all the festivities take place. If you have the time, it's worth it.

The location was clean, there are only a few tables and bar seats, (no alcohal) there are several TVs playing different things (the guy at the counter turned on the Minecraft movie for my son while we ate!! Super nice. My oldest and I order the Gouda burger... and my youngest ordered the hot dog. All with fries. (Prices seemed a bit high but honestly it was more than worth it!) The food came out pretty fast... and it looked awesome! (See pictures) the Gouda burger has lettuce, tomato, onion, Gouda, bacon, and shoe string potato chips on top of a good sized black angus patty. This was maybe the best burger I have had since I moved to GA! How are people not swarmed all over this establishment eating here! This was amazing! It was "ohhhhhh my Goddie to dam Hottie!!!" The burger was juicy and packed with amazing flavor! The addition of the shoe strings grave it a crunch that I just loved! I didn't even put catchup on it... I ate it as they brought it... nothing added nothing removed. It was phenominal! My son's hit dog was huge.. and loaded with condiments... onion, tomato's, relish on a monster dog. He couldn't finish it. The fries need to be cooked in hotter oil so that they get crispy.. some were kinda crisp some were not and salt the fries! The fries were ok... but the burger more than made up for it! I'm telling you this is burger heaven! If you're looking for the best burger around head on over to the Burger Factory...

There are several tables but it looked like they do a lot of takeout business. I like that there is a screen to order from or you can order at the counter. There seemed to be lots of parking too. The tater tots and mozzarella sticks were really good. Perfectly crispy! The mozzarella sticks didn't seem straight out of the freezer like at most places but the little cup of marinara was really cold. I ordered the salmon over brussels sprouts because I don't eat meat. (They do have a mushroom sandwich for vegetarians.) The salmon was perfectly cooked, and it also had tomatoes, nuts/seeds, and fried onions so the flavors and textures were great. It came with a sauce on the side that was yummy. The only annoying thing was that I got my food way after everyone else. Two friends got burgers, one got the spicy chicken sandwich, and one got the steak sandwich. All really enjoyed theirs but noted they are very messy to eat. One friend was annoyed that she didn't see salmon on the menu, but it is kind of hard to find! I only knew because I looked at the order screen and saw the salmon section. I think three of us had leftovers. Overall we enjoyed our meals and the prices weren't outrageous.

I will say this place is more on the pricey side but what isn't these days. You will be paying close to $18-$20 for a burger, fries, and a drink here. But then again 5 Guys and other fast food places will be in the $10-$18 range as well. I really enjoyed my burger as it was very tasty and flavorful. The portion is decent and on the medium size. Not small but not super big. I really enjoyed the sweet potato fries here. The sweet tea here was amazing and I really did enjoy it. All in all, I enjoyed eating here as you get up to get your own refills. I probably will come back and try a different burger next time I am in the area.

Fries are probably the best thing here. Service - just terrible. Outside of bartenders who are pretty happy and funny, the rest of service is hit or miss. First time I visited was awful. Second time around I had to walk up to server to place an order and ended up getting wrong beer multiple times on refills (how is getting the same refill a problem?).

They are known for their burgers but for some reason I ordered the "Nashville Hot" chicken sandwich. I LOVE this sandwich and if I see it on the menu I tend to order it. I put the name in quotes because this was NOTHING like a Nashville Hot chicken sandwich. This was a fried chicken sandwich with a squeeze of hot sauce and honey. Absolutely horrible. The breading fell off immediately and it was just gross, greasy and slippery. No flavor, no heat. The second disappointment were the onion rings. Greasy, Soggy, mushy, and again, the breading immediately fell off. They were like eating fried spaghetti. The final letdown was the service. Our server was nice when she greeted us, but we saw her maybe once during our meal. Never filled our drinks and she checked on us once during our meal. The food took 45 minutes to come to our table. I am not sure if she was new. Tonight in general was just a bust. On the bright side, my wife said that her meal was good. Lesson learned. Stick to the burgers and fries.
