First visit to this location. Had drinks at bar while waiting fir a table. Our server was Annie, she greeted us promptly and brought waters. We ordered the fire cracker shrimp and kettle chips for apps. She did a great job timing drinks,orders and check backs. The apps were great and very filling. Recommend. read more

We visited on a Wednesday night with group of seven. This is a busy place and even on a weeknight, you might have to wait. We got seated in about 30 minutes and our waitress was pretty prompt. A few of our party had wandered off to shop and our server was prompt in checking back to see if they had arrived. We had been told by family (who live here) that this was a great burger place. And, they raved about the piled-high chip appetizer. The appetizer was good and the Gorgonzola cheese sauce is great (and pretty mild). Most everyone at the table ordered burgers but I went with the Banh Mi wrap. The peanut sauce was the right amount of spice and it had a great deal of shredded chicken. In fact, I would have preferred more veggies. The side pickle was interesting. It wasn't dilled and might have been fermented. Most of us agreed it was little more than a salted cucumber. :( The star of my meal was the chickpea fries. These were square slabs of chickpea batter, fried and served with a tzatziki-style dipping sauce. The burgers were deemed good as well. Seems like a fun place. read more

Not sure why the ratings are so low because I eat here at least 4x a month and it's always bomb! The shrimp/crab chips are insane! Wings, burgers, salads, pastas, food is all bomb! read more

Today I had a life-changing lunch here at Marlow's in Alpharetta. It was the ahi tuna salad. It does for your tongue what a kaleidoscope does for your eyes. It is sushi grade tuna, not schwag, lightly pan seared and delicately placed alongside fresh greens, edamame, avocado and other imaginative ingredients. But what takes this salad off the grid is the dressing - an otherworldly blend of ginger, sesame and God knows what else - which enhances but never overwhelms the salad. You think I'm kidding? I'm not. read more

the food and service was great. we were a group of 15 and they took care of us and seated us quickly.

Amazing Service, we came in and the place is smoothly operated. Took less than a minute to get us a table, and the food was delicious! For sure recommend for tourists coming to Atlanta! read more

Came here for dinner after walking around Avalon and they were busy but not as busy. They told us 20 minute wait but it definitely wasn't 20 minutes. The food was on point as always. Got the asparagus fries and the very veggie burger. The patty was delicious. I wish there was a spice element but it was still good. Our server kept checking in on us. I got the blackberry mojito and it was good but there was like no alcohol in it. read more

Great service and great food! My only complaint is the waiting area.. since they don't take reservations, loads of people come in at the same time and if you're sat at the booths right when you walk in.. it's almost uncomfortable with that many people standing right in front of your table. while you eat. It's very claustrophobic and everyone has to squeeze by each other to get in & out because the waiting area is right by the door. Other than that everything is perfect! read more

Came here for dinner after shopping around Avalon with a friend and it was the place with the shortest wait time (15 min) in comparison to all of the other restaurants that had 2 hour wait times. The atmosphere was pretty chill and fun. Definitely a spot for drinks with friends. The food was hit or miss but the service was really great. My friend and I got the Shrimp & Crab "Nacho" plate which was alright. It was weirdly sweet so I asked for hot sauce which didn't help. My friend didn't like the taste either. I was originally going to get the Blazed Chicken but the server suggested I get the Shrimp and Grits. The grit cake was good but again the shrimp was sweet which was weird to me. The server was nice enough to change my order to my original thought, the Blazed Chicken, and that was actually delicious! So I'd recommend it. For drinks, I'm a fan of Old Fashioned's and they had a New Fashioned which was actually really good as well! Overall, I'd probably come back for like a Happy Hour and apps. read more

I wasn't going to take it here, but now I feel the need to. My cousin and I visited this location on the 9th. Our server, white, two braids and glasses did an OK job. Food wasn't the best as well. Fast forward, my cousin needed sauce and it seemed as if our server was moving another table but we did not know. So my cousin kindly said "Excuse me" and our server pointed at the other guest that she was "moving" like we were suppose to know that she was taking care of them. Now this set us off, and of course we aren't going to tip now. So, we then get our checks my total was $28.28. I signed everything on the check and did not leave a tip. My cousin ALSO did not leave a tip due to our poor food service & costumer service. We get up and see our server walk over to pick the tabs up and she's looking closely at them, but we didn't think nothing of it. Now fast forward to today, I notice my total was changed to $33.28. My cousin's total was ALSO changed. I called this location and a guy says that my total was $28.28 and also a $5 tip added.Now I KNOW I did not add a tip. Then had the nerve to ask me if I wanted a refund. YES. Since your employee does not want to show integrity, she will not get a DIME from me. If this employee added the tip herself she needs to be FIRED. How can she be trusted? read more

Marvelous french onion steak sandwich thingy. The 2nd best sandwich ive ever had. Swear.

Basic food. Poor service. This is a picture of their Cesar salad with chopped egg, hardly any egg... Minimal egg and minimal anything. Mediocre at best. Good location and that's probably what attracts their business but their staff is under motivated and lousy. read more

First timer who had a lovely experience. Sat at the bar and Taylor was our server. The food time was quick. Let's talk about this warm Brie and pretzel bread...so good!! The white wine is subtle and helps balance the cheese sauce. Chicken panini was good with a great twist on the full okra vegetable that is fried. Did not have room in our bellies for the crème brûlée, so we will be back for that. It was a nice chill atmosphere with great music! I was jamming while I was eating. We loved it. read more

We absolutely loved everything we ate! From the starters of wings, nachos & chips...everything was full of flavor! So much so, 2 ppl ordered wings as their entry! Drinks were good. Black & blue salad was delicious. Would definitely go back when visiting Alpharetta. read more

This was our first time dining here and the food was absolutely amazing! Firecracker Shrimp, jalapeño corn grits, fried asparagus, tempura eggplant and JTS Kettle chips were amazing! I want those grits every day! Clint was an amazing server and so was the manager Dennis. They made us fee so comfortable and almost like family! Everyone should eat here and often! Such a unique menu! We cannot wait to go back! Thank you Clint and Dennis! read more

Been to Marlow's before and this place is a solid. Ambience-great Service-great (the hostess stand further from door so when they're busy-just approach them) Food-delicious. I got the burger: cooked perfect medium and fries were crispy. Asparagus fries for appetizer was definitely unique, and it tasted surprisingly delicious and paired well with the sauce given Lemon drop: oh - you definitely can taste the alcohol Overall: great place to just stop by and chill when at Avalon read more

First time eating here. The Royale burger is pretty good. Service seemed kind at first but ended up poor. This was on a Tuesday afternoon. We weren't checked on but once and never received refills on our water I would give it another try. I'm curious if other locations have better service. read more

There are a few chain restaurants that I'm happy to patronize. Carrabba's tops the list, and Marlow's comes in perhaps a close second. I don't look at the menu in either place, having my preferred dishes. At Marlow's it's the banh mi grilled chicken wrap. With soy glazed chicken, nappa cabbage and pickled vegetables the sandwich is full of flavor. I always order a salad as my side -- no up charge! I don't know if their ranch dressing is homemade, but nonetheless it tastes it ... which is a compliment. This branch of Marlow's is as good as any other, with reasonably attentive service, clubby atmosphere and outdoor seating. read more

It's been a while since I've been to Marlowe's Tavern at the Avalon. Tara (Terra) made our experience memorable and she wasn't even our waitress! She's very personable and understanding of customer's needs. Marlowe's is lucky to have her on their team! The truffle fries never disappoint and the bartender understood my "easy on the citrus" request for my Cosmo! read more

Came in for after dinner drinks and were attended immediately by a seasoned bartender. He was attentive, friendly yet not intrusive. The ambiance is nice yet casual and we had a nice time. We tried the asparagus fries to nibble on which were recommended by the bartender. The sauce that came with these was phenomenal! The asparagus fries themselves not so much that night. The asparagus were chewy and stringy inside of the tempura style batter. My bf almost choked from the stringy asparagus at one point which was not cool. The place was busy which is a good sign though considering it was a cold Sunday night. Would return as drink selection was good and menu seemed interesting. read more

Always amazing customer service!! Daughter and I sat at the bar and had the staple smoked trout dip, and fried okra! The Vietnamese wrap and I had the Tortilla salad with salmon! Super good! Drinks always strong! Can't beat the Avalon vibe either! read more

The hot wings were dry, the fried okra and asparagus could be cooked longer for a crispier texture. Whoever the female hostess is greeting people at the door needs to be retrained ASAP. She was all over the place and had my food sitting at the bar longer than it was supposed to be because she forgot I had ordered food over 45 minutes before. read more

I've been to multiple Marlow's locations now but this is one of my favorites. It's in a great location within the Avalon complex- right next to the Regal movie theater and the main shops and restaurants, which makes a night of dinner, drinks, and a movie very convenient! I enjoy the design of this Marlow's since it has multiple outdoor areas and great indoor seating. The bar, which is accessible to sit at both inside and outside, makes walking up to order drinks a cool experience. I recently ate lunch here and sat at one of the high top tables on the deck. Although it was a Saturday at prime lunch time there was no wait. And while it was 80s and humid that day the covered deck was actually comfortable since it was shady and had multiple fans going. I ordered the fish tacos with a side Caesar salad for $11 total, which was not bad for the quality and amount of food. The 3 fish tacos had a very generous amount of blackened and well seasoned tilapia and included pickled onions and large slices of fresh avocado. The side caesar salad was nothing to write home about but was a refreshing side item. I also got to try my lunch buddy's side of chick pea fries ($1.50 extra with her entree) which were highly enjoyable- these guys had an interesting crunchy on the outside but velvety-soft on the inside texture with a satisfying saltiness and a unique and flavorful horseradish-based dipping sauce! I recommend Marlow's due to its great quality, somewhat upscale food with unique side item options. It's also wonderful for dinner because of its great drinks and bartenders! read more

This has to be my new favorite place to eat right now. I've tried a number of things in the few times I've been here. (* are the MUST TRY dishes) Tempura Eggplant: My review for this dish is probably a little bias because I love eggplant. I love the batter they used for this dish. It's thin, light, & crispy. The curry aioli is delish! *Jumbo Lump Crab Cake: I've been looking for an amazing crab cake for the majority of my adult life. I had come to a conclusion that it doesn't exist in GA, but this is it! It's delicious. You can tell with the first bite that it's fresh and the arugula salad is delicious and compliments well with the crab cake. Hot & Sweet Wings: I like my wings extra crispy. The first time they brought it out, the chicken was really soft. So my friends and I sent it back. It came back burnt because they refried the wings with the sauce on. If you're a wing lover, you already know that's a no-go. So we brought it to our waitresses attention and she was very sweet about it and took it back. They took a long time for the 3rd try, but it was perfect. The wings were crispy, hot, and well flavored. *Truffled Parmesan Fries: My boyfriend loves this dish! I'm not a huge fan of cheese on my fries but I know this is one of their staple sides/appetizers because who doesn't love cheese & fries (except me)? *Fig & Bacon Toast: Oh man, oh man. Please get this is all I have to say. Grilled Chicken Panini: Great item. I love paninis and this one is one of the best. The chicken is grilled and the arugula is the flavorful and blends well together with the cheese and tomatoes. read more

I met a friend for lunch a little after 1pm on a Wednesday. The restaurant was not very busy (post prime lunch, and I imagine they have more business in the evening). We were seated quickly and ordered iced tea. The iced tea arrived with little to no ice. For food, I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap with fries and my dining companion ordered the tortilla salad. Considering they were not busy, I was shocked by how long the food took to arrive. When our food arrived, I had to ask the server who brought it to our table (not our original server) for a refill on tea, and for some reason he only refilled mine. A little bit later our original server came over with fresh iced teas for each of us. Food was overall meh. The flavors of the chicken wrap were decent but not anything impressive and the chicken was dry. Honestly it tasted like it has been sitting out awhile. Also there was no buffalo flavor to the wrap at all ... not sure if they forgot the buffalo sauce or if that is how it is prepared. I brought the sandwich home and flavored it with cholula. The fries were soggy and lacked much flavor. I am not sure if I ordered the wrong menu item and maybe other food at marlow's is better? read more

Had the good fortune of having dinner there. Totally enjoyed the environment and the food was great!

First visit that I had food. It's posted at the Avenue in the back by the movie theater so it's easy to spot. It seemed busy on the particular Sunday afternoon but my family and I got sat pretty quickly. We started off with hummus as an app and it was yummy. Although the portion wasn't that large and the pita that came with it wasn't enough. We had to get a second order of it to feed the table. I had true veggie burger with fries. The size was relatively large but the taste just wasn't for me. It's made from only veggies and it was a bit dry. I guess that's what's expected from it so it really just comes down to preference lol. We had a good time though and the staff was friendly. I'll be back one day if I'm ever in the area again read more

Not bad. Not great. The service is excellent. Our waitress was polite, attentive and helpful. Our food was fast and exactly as we ordered. The food though? Meh. Average and not hot enough for something that arrived so fast from the kitchen. The fries were very salty. The portions were good and the prices really good. The service was great, but something's not quite right with the food. Considering it's why we're here, I'd rather have average service and exceptional food, even at a premium cost. This place could be great with a little TLC. read more

Marlow's Tavern - The shrimp and crab nachos were really tasty. - New American Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Good food with fresh and tasty ingredients, but not at all speedy when it comes to lunch. Our group of 4 was seated relatively quickly. We didn't have a firm RSVP, so we did wait a bit to see if others would join. By the time we ordered, it was probably 12:15, and the restaurant was completely packed. I got the banh mi chicken wrap with the chicken fried, and a side salad. The food was fresh and tasty, especially the side salad. The wrap is good, but needed the Sriracha that we asked for. I also got a bite of my friend's fried okra, which I loved. They cut the okra in half long ways, then batter and fry. After the mains, we split the beignets on the Mardi Gras menu - don't remember what flavor they were now. They were crispy on the outside, light on the inside, and not too greasy - a treat worthy of your indulgence. read more

My wife and I had an incredible first time in The Avalon thanks to Marlow's Tavern. Our server, Chemere, was truly great. The place stupid busy, but we felt taken care of and welcome. I ate the black n' bleu burger and my wife had the chicken panini. We started with the flatbread, which the day we went was "Hawaiian" and delicious. All the food was awesome. Chemere was awesome. We will be back the next time we pass through The Avalon. read more

Loved this place. My boyfriend and I wanted to try and new place and we did. I had the shrimp and grits and he had the veggie burger both so good. Love the spin on the veggie burger and the shrimp and grits. We also tried the truffle fries and they were BOMB. 10/10 restaurant. The wait time wasn't long and the waitress was very nice. read more

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this place. I got the chicken sandwich (similar to a caprese) on focaccia and my husband got the shaved beef. Both of us enjoyed our meal. The kids got burger and chicken tenders. They were happy as well. read more

Wow, we're do you find a restaurant that everything you eat is unbelievable delicious! Down here in Georgia enjoying family for the holidays and visiting with my father, my sister brought us to this tavern with the promise that we will enjoy the food. That was a understatement, the food here was superb, unbelievable, delicious, I mean my wife who NEVER finish a plate of food, finished an entire order of prime rib French dip with whole fried okra! I had the Royal with cheese which is made with a 1/2 pound of American Wagyu beef. And a side of truffle fries. Words cannot explain the party in my mouth. The deliciousness that was served on my plate deserves an award...FOR REAL! My cousin had the black bean burger and my sister had the crab cake and ahi tuna with wonton chips! Need I say more? Ok I will, if you never tasted tuna done to perfection, let your first time be here! This whole meal experience was on 10,000 and I will definitely be returning. Until next time this has been a mind blowing fat boy experience! read more

I often wonder about life cycles of businesses. Starting out strong, standards based, owned well, trained well, deserving of the reputation. Then things happen - growth, profits, many good things- but it just astounds me of enlightened owners who get so tied up in that, they start to miss the foundational principles that got them up the growth curve in the first place. I think Marlow's is victim to this. Back in the day, I sought this place out. It was different, better, had a cool vibe - like a destination should, and the quality backed it up. Today - it's just part of the noise. Perhaps some good days, not many bad ones, but far too many average ones - and for a place that has never been average, it's sad. Case in point, our visit yesterday. Avalon, pre-movie drink and dinner. Walk in and it feels like a bus station. People coming and going, no host, just sort of fend for yourself. I get popularity - or at least the rising tide of location and convenience raises all boats - but it doesn't feel good. The place smells stale, dated. Sat at the bar - started with drinks - again - promising, good bar, good selection, someone at a corporate group crafted a good drink menu and - the bar staff were ALL super nice, service oriented and great - but....then drinks come - they don't feel crafted, they feel cheap. In a nice reposado margarita - tastes like mixer. In the pear margarita - doesn't taste good - tastes like mixer.....see? If they had a minute, they would craft the cocktail - feels a little churn and burn - and use cheaper materials. Food was - well - OK, not bad, but not great - as it used to be. Flatbread was clumsy, tasted OK but just there - soggy a little. Firecracker Shrimp were out of a bag, I could buy at Costco.....Hummus was actually good - but the side veg - brussels, cauliflower - could have been great, should have been great, but they were just a pile of lost potential. I wonder if it's the peak before the long slide. I hope not. But sense it is.....it's a little sad. Would I go back for a drink? Maybe a beer, hard to mess that up....or cheap it down - but if Marlow's is looking - there are countless places that are doing it better - like they used to do.....I would not count on location/convenience......because it was the quality, the service, the heart and the care that got you there in the first place. Don't see a lot of heart in this place anymore. read more

Wednesday lunch time and so packed we sat at the bar. The food took almost an hour to come out. Wanted a wrap but not the wrap they had on the menu so ordered a buffalo chicken wrap and it was good! The side salad has an egg salad on it and I did not like it one bit. The burger one ordered was ice cold and had to send it back but we didn't feel like waiting anymore on more food to come out. The bar server was very polite and I assume the manager came up to us to give us a voucher for another meal. read more
