Marathon Grill: Reviews & Ratings
Excellent Fish & Chips, they even have Malt Vinegar, Grest expresso martini! Such great service, food came in within 15 min. Very relaxing atmosphere.
Pete and Shirley taking over the operations at the Ale house has made this Marathon favorite the best option for food sports and all around hospitality. A truly wonderful experience from start to finish
We frequent here often while on vacation and there are not enough words to say how amazing our experiences have been. Service is always top tier! Crab cakes are the best we have ever had. Great happy hour, and many options of entrees.
Stumbled on this spot while in the area, great happy hour specials, pork potstickers and peel and ear shrimp were good. Philly cheesesteak was piled high, paid extra for onion rings and enjoyed everything, excellent service, we will definitely be back!
Tonya was the best server! She was so nice and made great recommendations! We had the Philly cheesesteak and fish and chips. The portions are HUGE and so delicious!! We also had bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers and WOW!! The place is so clean, cool A/C, full bar. We Highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back!
Give stars for our first stop in the keys! We are honored to start our adventure here at the Ale House. This is my husband's type of place and they have not disappointed us! It's a cool sports bar and a scale above divey. Friendly service, as we were greeted with welcoming arms. I ordered the blackened Mahi tacos, which was very delicious. I am not a slaw type of gal but the slaw they paired with the tacos were heavenly. Tonight's special (Thursday) are their wings. My husband ordered hot honey and also lemon pepper. The wings are absolutely of good quality. Super happy to have started out our vacation here.
Really nice establishment! Clean and tidy. Very friendly staff. Food was very great. Get the crab cakes, unbelievable! Really big, flaky, great breading and flavor!
