Love this place! Country style steak on Sundays!!! Never have a bad experience. Mostly always do takeout but that's just for convenience. Breakfast is good too! Service is good always friendly staff. read more

By far the best breakfast in Salisbury! Always great and friendly service! Cooked cabbage is also the best.

Restaurant was filthy. Food was mediocre. Service was slow. Ac didn't seem to be working all that great.

Great seafood and good service. Only open for breakfast and lunch now Wednesday through Sunday

All I can say is...I love Marlow's Bar-B-Q&Seafood. Their food is so delicious, especially their crispy Alaskan Whiting! There cakes a so good, the chocolate cake with the nuts and all but I cannot call the name of the cake. Great service. The employee are so polite and respectful. Great environment to be in. read more

Stumbled on this jewel recently and glad I did. Intended on getting the BBQ but ended up with the baby flounder. "Baby" is a stretch here as the salt and pepper fried fish was actually a generous size and portion of three pieces. Choose from several sides but I ended up with fries and slaw both were pretty ordinary. I look forward to going back to try other menu items at Marlow's. Food: 4 Sporks Service: 5 Sporks Atmosphere: 3 Sporks Local Beer: 0 Sporks Value: 4 Sporks read more

See all

I've had the smoked chicken several times. It's really good. Great drive thru service.

I love this place, and usually the staff. It saddens me that they've had to cut their hours SO much. The past couple of times the pick up window help has been very rude, and even though I've requested condiments for my dinners, I NEVER get them. That's so frustrating. I'd rather eat here than Hendrix BBQ, but with the staffing shortage, and hours I can go, I won't be able to much anymore. read more

This my favorite out of way BBQ spot. The have daily specials like country style steak on Sundays -- at least until they run out so come early! Once you have had your fill of a nice country meal, there are plenty of deserts and ice cream to tempt your swe read more

The hamburgers are great. The waitstaff were pleasant and efficient The meal they catered at our church was excellent read more

Great food, we eat there regularly and we've never ordered anything that wasn't good. The staff is friendly and service is top notch even when short staffed read more

I like this place. My favorite is Mondays when the shrimp platter is on special though the last time I got it, I was disappointed in how few shrimp were on it. Even the waitress agreed that wasnt what they usually did and she brought me more shrimp, that was most appreciated. I love their biscuits n gravy and I get a side of livermush, its big thick pieces they deep fry it, its delicious just the way I like it. Its a great place for breakfast, dinner or supper! read more

I loved the ambiance of this place! The food was tasty. It did take a bit to geT tO us but they were very busy! I got the pulled pork saLad and my husband got the pulled pork plate. With wedges and fries to share with my son which he loved. I loved the hush puppies. I thought the price was very good for the amount of food you got! read more

So good it blew my mind. I have coworkers who buy this nearly everyday it seems. So I decided to try it to see what all the fuss was about. I pulled up and was kinda nervous looking at the humble exterior. I ordered a bbq sandwhich with red slaw. Usually I don't get slaw and was like, let's see it through. The woman in the drive through was super friendly which caught me off guard. Like a breath of fresh air. True southern hospitality exists here. I didn't have to wait too long, probably about minutes and someone in front of me was waiting longer. However it's worth it. I was stunned at the sheer size of the bbq sandwhich. It was huge and with some fries only $8 including tip. The slaw was to die for. I was so scared I messed up and got a mayo based slaw which I hate, but the red slaw was lightly pickled and sweet, similar to some lightly pickled korean side dishes. The pork was amazing, tender with little bits of smoky bark. It wasn't overly powerful with the smoked flavor, it was very light. It didnt have alot of seasoning, however you didnt really need it. Between the red slaw and bbq sauce they provide, the sandwhich was flavored to perfection. Definitely will be coming here more often. read more

Food is ok, usually greasy. The service could be better. The server seemed over loaded. The place could have been cleaner.

Nothing fancy here...the service was good and the food solid if unspectacular. To be fair, the collards were very good, as was the fried okra. The BBQ was a mixed bag. We got chopped pork, and our portions were pretty lean. That was a plus for my wife, who doesn't like fatty BBQ. But it also left the meat pretty dry. The good news was that their vinegar sauce was pretty good--nice peppery bite that still wasn't too much for my wife's more sensitive palate. But there was another reason we needed the sauce: I couldn't taste any smoke flavor in the meat on its own. I shouldn't have been surprised, because when I took a sniff, I couldn't smell smoke inside or outside the building. With the sauce, the BBQ was good but nothing special. If you're nearby and want to eat *now*, they're worth a shot. Manage your expectations and you won't be disappointed. read more

Just visiting VA hospital in Salisbury, looking for a place to have lunch. Happened upon this place and was pleasantly surprised to find pretty decent food. I had the Thursday meatloaf special with fried okra and sweet potato stiks and hushpuppies. All was delicious, although the meatloaf was very dense and dry. Thankfully there was some barbecue sauce on the table which served very nicely to moisten it up. Plentiful serving sizes made for the necessity of take out trays for us "olderly" folks. Hope to visit again next trip to this awesome city. read more

Been going there for years, food is good, not over priced and the service is always good!! Check it out!! Specials every day of the week!! There Flounder on Monday's is Great!!!! read more

Great food. Great service. Reasonable prices. Easy access. Poor visibility. Four out of five is ok. I eat here about once a week and look forward to doing so. If you haven't yet tried Marlowes, I'm sure you will be a regular customer after doing so. read more

Good amounts of food, not a very classy place, we both ordered the bbq tray, it came out in a tiny little cardboard tray (wrapped in wax paper)with a pile of semi cold meat and a mountain of very dry slaw, the meat was also dry and looked like it had just been pulled from the freezer definitely was not fresh, a little more effort put into presentation would go a long way in this place....the fried pickles were delicious tho!! read more

A total disaster. The food that is and service is not far behind . I ordered the grilled (GRILLED) jumbo shrimp w/ Lima beans, coleslaw, hush puppies onion rings . The jumbo shrimp is steamed and then they threw a little bit of Cajun seasoning on them. The lima beans Were severely undercooked as in crunchy. Coleslaw had some red stuff in it and it was so spicy it was ridiculous. The hush puppies were far too sweet and greasy. The onion rings were severely over fried and grease literally popped out of them as they were broken to eat. I ordered Keylime pie and can safely SURELY 100% say it was THE WORST Keylime pie I've ever had . It was some whip cream mess (probably cool-whip) that was flavored with lime juice and colored with green food coloring w/a dollop of Cool Whip on top of it as if their wasn't enough below it flavored with lime juice and colored green. It was disgusting! Employees were 1/2 friendly THAT MEANS friendly enough not to tell them they were rude but bordering on being obnoxious. If I'd paid by credit card I would disputed the charges! This place is enjoyed by locals because each night they run a cheap food special that is an all you can eat type of deal. Key word: Cheap food = cheap quality. One of my worst experiences in a long long time! The place sucks! read more

Always good food and a wide variety of items on the menu. Drive thru when your in a hurry and always friendly staff!

I like the food... They also have good service... I usually dont post but the food is good everytime me and my family come... My mom told me about it and we have been loyal customers every since... they are also opened today.. July fourth and I'm bout to call for my fix... read more

Worst management, mediocre food, most wait staff incompetent. Place needs major renovations and employees need to wear clean clothing.

Nothing fancy about the ambience of this place or anyting used to be old Burger King many moons ago. Actually looking at the outside you can't tell much difference from years ago. Also the inside pretty much unchanged for 10 years. Pretty decent BBQ, Seafood will surprise you sometimes it is awesome. Country food daily specials are about average. Wings are surprisingly one of their above-average offerings. Hamburgers and hotdogs pretty decent. Try their cakes and pies some of them are homemade. They also have ice cream. Where this restaurant really does awesome is the waitresses. I have messed them during this covid-19. Definitely one of those places you need to go on the Salisbury Barbeque Trail. Also doesn't due to bad on Seafood. Probably one of their hidden features that a lot of customers don't talk about. Does the three C's pretty well which is cleanliness, cost-effectiveness ,and great customer service. read more

Love the daily specials! They always give you plenty to eat. Servers are polite and attentive. I even order for delivery for me and my co-workers. There is a $2 delivery fee, but well worth it for those times you can't go out of the office. There delivery person is always very nice and polite. All around great experience for this place. read more

I have gone to this place 2 or 3 times a week for a while now but after my last experience I will not be going back!! I placed a curb side order and it was all wrong called back when I got home and was told I could have a credit. I called 2 days later and was giving the run around and even giving the owners number and she has yet to return my call! So if they wanna be rude and not honest then I will never go back beware if something is wrong it's your fault!! read more

I'm from out of town and was driving through so I stopped at this place because the yelp reviews. The restaurant is an older fast food restaurant that has been redone. It was very crowded with a lot of locals. Despite how busy they were the food was really good and came up fast. My waitress was on top of it kept my water glass full and was very pleasant. I would stop here again if I was coming through town the food was hot the barbecue was good and the water was cold. read more

They have a stellar half a chicken dinner with cole slaw and fries for 8 bucks that I love but today I got the chef salad with turkey. It was only 5.25 but it was just meh for me (should have got the BBQ chicken). The staff is nice and attentive. The place is clean and modest. All in all, good prices, good service, good BBQ. read more

Labor Day 2016, visiting family so we stopped in for grub. Classic Carolina BBQ, red slaw and a few sauce options, the BBQ was solid, portions are huge! HUGE. Got some wings and they were really good, nice crisp coating, 10 wings and 2 sides was about $8! Nice sized wings. I saw some fried flounder and it looked great, looks like the locals were ordering it so I'll be partaking in that next time. Service was very good as well. read more

The barbecue here is very good. It doesn't have a lot of fat and the sandwich has enough barbecue packed in it to make two more sandwiches. They bring it out dry except for slaw and you add your choice of sauce at the table. The white slaw is very good and the cherry yum yum was so good I dreamed about it that night. The menu was extensive and also included fish. The parking lot was not my favorite. Too closed in for me. The seating is good and plenty of booths. It's reminds me of a diner inside. I look forward to going here again. read more

Food is very good so was the service. I appreciate being catered to when spending my money, I'll be back soon.

You can't beat the breakfast here. It's inexpensive, the portions are hearty, and they make sure your coffee cup is always full. The servers are all very friendly. I always get the breakfast special, 2 eggs, three slices of bacon, toast, and grits (I upgrade to hash browns) for $3.79. read more

This is our go to BBQ place. Service great and people are super friendly! We usually always get the family pack which is totally bang for your buck. It comes with BBQ, hush puppies or buns, baked beans, and slaw, and tea or lemonade read more

We LOVE Marlows!! In the last couple months we started ordering from Marlows, we call our order in and pick it up in drive thru. Our orders are always correct, not once have they got our order wrong and its always spot on delicious. I think last night was about the 10th time we've ordered from them and not yet have any of my family complained. The staff has always been friendly when I call the order in and come by to pick it up. Keep up the good work. read more

Absolutely love everything I have ever gotten here. Burgers, BBQ, or breakfast - all are winners. The only criticism I have (and it's just a personal preference) is that they don't cut their onions small enough on their footlongs. read more

When you are craving that down home, diner prepared breakfast, this is the place to come. Friendly staff and excellent food.

The barbeque is good and the service was quick. I really liked the hush puppies. The price is inexpensive and I will eat here again.

Very good seafood here, & their green beans are seasoned just right. We eat here often!

I love everything I have ever ordered at Marlow's, and that's on a regular basis. Although, my choice is drive-thru, I have eaten inside on occasion and found the wait staff very friendly, courteous and helpful. Since I am a senior and disabled also, it is a treat for me to indulge in great meals. I enjoy the 'experience' that is Marlow's. Thanks so much, Gang!! p.s. I would have given a 5-star rating, but I don't think 'anyone' is perfect...LOL. read more
