Excellent, attentive service, and delicious food. Our server made sure we were taken care of and I enjoyed an excellent burger with tater tots and a happy hour margarita (only $5!). The food prices were reasonable, the atmosphere was pleasant and it was unbelievably convenient to our destination (the movie theater next door!)! I would definitely go back when I am in Avalon. read more

Local tavern located in the Avalon district. Very friendly, great serving staff and good selection of drinks and food for a tavern! I have visited several times and service is consistently great! Beer wise - a few choices and I must say they serve pint of Miller High Life for $3. Cannot beat this. Food was always good too. Tonight gummy's was great and I split chicken piccata which was great. Chicken could have had bit more flavor - but overall it was just fine. My go-to place for great service!! read more

Came here for dinner with coworkers. Place was absolutely comfy, nice little heaters outside for the cold weather. Good bites, friendly staff, and the time spent here was great and well worth! Only reason it's not a 5 is cause it wasn't anything that would have you ascend into an astral projection, but it was definitely good food and good drinks! read more

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. read more

I just left Marlow's tavern and was charged $48 for an overcooked burger and the worst gin cocktail I've ever had. My friends were charged $18 for a 9 oz glass of wine. This is unacceptable, shame on you Marlows Tavern. Also, now they charge you with the handheld machines and don't give you a copy of your check. I asked several times and never got it. VERY BAD EXPERIENCE. They included 20% tip already on the bill. read more

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. read more

We've dined at this location before, food and service were both good; that's exactly why we returned, looking forward to shrimp & crab nachos all around the table. After paying $8.00 to park so we could have plenty of uninterrupted time to order, eat and socialize on a Monday afternoon...this happened. Unfortunately, we were seated, already having our drink orders, looking at menus and ready to order our food.. When one newbie person in the party that had been hearing us rave about the nachos asked the server about the portion size of the nachos, that's when the server stated " we're all out"; ( server made no other comments) mind you it was approximately 12:15 pm on a Monday. Immediately, we questioned if the orders " aren't they made to order?" so we don't understand why " you're all out" at the start of a regular summer lunchtime?!?! After our inquiries as to the freshness of the food, the server THEN decided to inform us that anything prepped in the oven was not available to order bc the 'oven is not working...". Patrons and management: please note that menu items being " all out" is not the same as " we are unable to prepare that...". Once we called the manager later to suggest signage or full verbal disclosure asap for future diners, he listened intently , was apologetic, etc.Fellow diners, It's also important to note that this was apparently not a one moment or 'day of' issue as the 'oven hadn't been working and hadn't been repaired yet., this furthermore means that signage Should have been placed to let people know well before seating or at the least, train your servers to be honest up front, " these items aren't available bc the oven in which several items are prepped hasn't been prepared yet." Those were our suggestions to management. That's the way to exhibit great customer service! Although we completely understand that equipment will be equipment and that anything can happen, it would've been Awesome to have signage at the door upon arrival or at the least, the hostess or server informing us of this Immediately upon our arrival! So now we've wasted our time AND parking fees to eat at a spot in which the food we planned to order is unavailable! This goes for all menu items that are 'baked' in the oven. We understand that things happen, but management should most certainly be proactive and provide its guests with info Prior to being seated and/or when distributing menus! We won't return to this location. ( Avalon/Alpharetta) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Excellent variety of food from bar food to a delicious seared tuna salad. The veggies and edamame are great with the dressing. My husband had a steak salad and liked it too. Kid liked the cheesy macaroni and said it was awesome. We did takeout and it was great service. Menu changes so call to check. We parked in a deck and walked because it was so crowded on a weekend. read more

Consistently good food and service, with a cozy ambiance. They even put caramelized onions on my sandwich without charge which was really nice and uncommon these days lol. Good spot if you can't chose what type of food you're in the mood for! read more

I've been to this establishment several times and have not been disappointed yet... Bring back the Reuben egg rolls...

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. read more

This review is for the management and the incredibly delectable Royale with Cheese, homage to the line from the Quintin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction. (Check out the big brain on Brett!) First the burger. The patty's made of Wagyu beef (and we can debate what makes authentic Wagyu some other time. This thing is delicious and juicy.) the meat to bun ratio is pretty good. I would like a little less bread but it's a personal preference. The burger is unspoiled by tons of garnish. Pickles are about all there is and it's dang near perfect. It ain't cheap, but I don't care. Worth every nickel. Now for the management. The night we were there was particularly busy and the apps we ordered were late to arrive...as in didn't. Two managers stopped by our table, apologized effusively and comped some of the food. Pro move. Beer and wine menu is better than average and the pours are generous. Marlow's does have a loyalty program, which makes a nice bonus. read more

Fraudulent transaction amt on Credit Card. This is the 2nd time -- and last time -- we visit any Marlo's establishments. The waitress was pleasant and the food was good. And when I received the bill, I paid with tip over 20%. HOWEVER, the bank transaction finalized a day later for more than what the total amt that the receipt was written out to be. After calling to speak with the manager, he said "So what do you want? You want me to refund you the difference?" My reply was "To do so would be to erase the evidence of fraudulence." I'm not sure if someone is capturing credit card information, but know that your credit card will be taken away from your view to process the transaction. Because of this, I will be getting a new credit card. Clearly, this is a criminal act and should be dealt with in a criminal fashion. My advice to anyone who visits a Marlo's tavern. DON'T!!! _______________ UPDATE ON 07/14/25: After I saved my review and just before I left Yelp reviews, I decided to read the 1-star reviews. Aniyah K. from Buford, GA placed a review on November 12, 2024 for the same issue. Visit her review and you will see how the waitress back then changed the receipt to her favor. UPDATE ON 07/23/25: Spoke with 2 partners. Corrections have been made and being monitored for consistency, processes updated to reflect accuracy, and new POS equipment is being put into place to ensure confidentiality and transaction security. I am thankful that Marlow's Tavern took this issue seriously and moved quickly to remedy the matter. We all make mistakes, and the important part is that Marlow's resolved this issue in a timely manner. Kudo's to Marlow's. In light of fairness and an accurate reflection of the overall experience, I am moving from a 1-star to a 4-star. The food is excellent, the ambience is pleasing, and the interaction with the waitress was polite and helpful. We will visit the establishment again. read more

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! read more

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. read more

This Marlow's Tavern gets a solid 4 from me. We started coming to this one because the one in Cumming just was not cutting it anymore and we had to try something new despite how annoying it can be to go to Avalon because of the crazy crowds. So there's a tip, allow some time to find parking! We always come after 8:30pm so it's less of an issue but still. Either way, started off with some draft beers. They have a great draft beer selection with some reasonable prices. I got a Sweetwater 420 draft for $7.25 which I didn't think was too bad! I have had many things off their menu including the tavern burger, the royale with cheese, the chicken panini, the fish tacos and this time I got the prime rib French dip. It was very good!!! Very surprising and very taste. My only gripe about Marlow's is their inconsistency with the fries?? Like sometimes they are awesome and give you a good bit and others times they are limp and no good. Today was one of those off days but they weren't terrible! Also can y'all get dill pickles?? Their current pickles on the side are weird.. they always have been. The French dip was good but favorite has to be the royale with cheese. A little expensive like the prime rib but the quality of the meat never misses and is the best!! They are also having their bourbon and bayou special menu right now and the shrimp po boy is pretty good!! Always a good spot to come that you can get food and drink and it's open late which is rare in Alpharetta! read more

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. read more

Great food, bad customer service. The restaurant was not crowded and yet they initially sat me by the kitchen. Four waitresses were gathered together just talking, but it took 15 minutes to get waited on. I almost walked out. The food, however, was delicious. They didn't check on me throughout my meal and I finally had to ask for the check. read more

The waiter Melissa was so unprofessional and impolite to my daughter and her friends celebrating a birthday dinner together. She did not say her name or greet them at all and just came up and asked what do you want to drink. She then welcomed a family sitting next to the introducing herself and explaining the dishes on the menu. When my kids said they wanted a drink like soda she made an annoyed face and kept say "What do you want." In a snappy attitude. The whole dinner she kept having so much attitude and neglecting their table by almost never going to their table. She probably thought these kids would not tip and this is why she acted like this. My kids ended up tipping because they have nice manners and were polite to her despite her behavior. At the end she slammed the checks on the table and left without saying anything. Very disappointing because we always go here and have a nice server but due to Melissa we are not coming back. read more

Loved marlows!! Their food is always so consistent and tastes amazing. It is also one of the few restaurants in the Alpharetta area that is open late which is also nice!! They have great food and drink options. The wait staff is also always inviting and welcoming. Sometimes they will also have special menu items or drink special as well. I ordered the chicken panini, which it has become one of my favorite menu items here. I love the combination of everything on the sandwich. I also enjoy the burger. I always get the fries since they are always so crisp and fresh. Although sometimes the fried and can hit or miss and can be cold and not crisp. I have also never been a fan of the pickles they serve with the entrees. Not really dill pickle taste, salty and more cucumber than anything consistently wise. I will continue coming here and I recommend trying if you have never been before. read more

The food was great, and the service was good. The manager is fantastic. However, I have a favor to ask: Marlow, please get rid of those patio tables and chairs, as they are dirty and in need of deep cleaning. When I sat there with my family this week, I noticed food and hair stuck between the tables. It was quite alarming and definitely a health violation. Unfortunately, those tables brought the overall experience down, as it was really unappetizing. read more

I absolutely loved my visit to Marlow's Tavern! We were in the Avalon area and looking for a place to grab something quick to eat. With it being a Saturday evening, most places had a 2+ hour wait, including Marlow's. We lucked out and found two seats at the bar and decided to sit there. From the moment we sat down, all of the staff made us feel so welcomed. The service was absolutely excellent! I wish I remembered everyone's name so I could give all 3 of them a shout out for their superb hospitality. We ordered wine and the peach margarita (something like that) - it was delicious! We both ordered the burger and fries (one traditional and one veggie) both of which were great as well. I am so happy we chose Marlow's and I will definitely return in the future! read more

Just had dinner at Marlow's Tavern at the Avalon and it was horrendous! We ordered a bottle of wine and Brian's glass was disgusting with something stuck on the inside. I ordered the filet and got medallions. My steak had zero seasoning on it. Brian's burger was not well done at all. Attention to quality and mgmt is severely lacking. Sad!
