I have been a loyal customer of Marlow's for over four years, and this was honestly the first time I've had a negative experience due to an interaction with a new employee. However, what truly stood out to me was how the situation was handled afterward. During my next visit, the manager Danielle personally came to our table to apologize, take accountability, and ensure that we felt valued as longtime customers. Her professionalism, genuine concern, and willingness to address the issue spoke volumes about her leadership and dedication to customer service. Situations can happen anywhere, but great management is what makes the difference, and she handled it exceptionally well. I would also like to give a special shoutout to our favorite waitress, Ashley. She has always been amazing, attentive, and consistently goes above and beyond to make sure we are well taken care of. Her friendly personality and excellent service are a big reason why we continue to return, and we always ask for her whenever we visit. Thank you to the management team and to Ashley for reminding us why we've remained loyal customers for so many years. read more

We were a party of 4 and this place was BUSY with the afternoon crowd. Still, we were promptly seated and taken care of. The asparagus fries are DELICIOUS and while everyone else seemed to be very pleased their meals + the serving sizes, my quinoa dish left MUCH to be desired. I was still hungry after an entree *and* side item . Overall, not a bad experience. Just not sure I'd visit again considering the lack of veggie options. read more

I love the atmosphere at Marlowe's. The black and white photos always get my attention. The food, in my humble opinion, needs improvement. The menu has changed since my last visit. And I had to study it to find something interesting. I asked the server about the Bahn MI, a Vietnamese type sandwich. He recommended it, so I ordered it. When did portions get so small?? Maybe they should get smaller ceramic plates. The sandwiches looked marooned on an island. The flavor was missing something...lime juice Maybe? The side of fruit salad was okay. My husband stayed with his usual; a well done burger. The fries on his plate didn't look good. They looked they had been made in a large batch and served up all day. I'm done with Marlowe's. Maybe it's time to just stay home. read more

First this place had lots of parking and both indoor and outdoor seating. Our service was good. Food came out fast and hot. On the other hand I did t really feel what I got, fish tacos and grit cakes, had much flavor to it. The tacos were bland and the grit cake was just missing g something. I was so sad cause I was looking forward to the grit cake. My friends that came with me both had burgers and dessert and liked them. If there is a next time maybe I will try a burger. read more

Just happened by this Marlow's while at a sports event nearby. Our food was good but our service was a little less than stellar. We were greeted by at least three servers, who would ask us how many in our party, walk away, and then never come back. While there were plenty of tables and servers that we saw, it took close to 10 minutes to be seated in a booth facing a screen showing March Madness. Our server was nice and attentive once we finally got seated. My daughter LOVER her quesadilla. My salad was very filling, and I have to say that, even though it didn't look like there was dressing on it, there was a light drizzle that was actually enough to taste. Our server didn't hesitate to bring me a side of dressing anyway. So the food, itself, was pretty good. This looks like it would be a great place to watch some games, enjoy the covered patio outside, and maybe even have a group meet for lunch or dinner. read more

It was a nice happy hour and a bigger location than my usual in Vinnings. Very clean and Rachel the waitress did an amazing job with the party! Can't go wrong with happy hour on a Martini Wednesday. The food was okay, the kettle chips could have been way better regarding distribution of toppings (all lumped in the middle), the wings actually came out greasy with very little seasoning, the crab dip seemed to be missing crab & heavy on the cream cheese, and all of the fries were limp. I've been to others and had great food but could have been an off day. read more

Bri (front house) was more than accommodating for our group of 7. We didn't have reservations and the place was busy. We were able to get a delicious cocktail from Ashley at the bar (or Amanda or Alicia ) and sit outside while they got our table ready. We were seated and had an amazing small plate of homemade chips with Gorgonzola sauce. Steve was our server and he was top notch. We're not local, but plan to visit the next time we're in town. Thanks so much! Of note, the burgers were amazing, as well as the shrimp and grits, duck confit egg rolls, salmon! Not pics, too busy making memories with friends! read more

Big fan of the shrimp and crab nachos. The asparagus fries are probably my new favorite way to eat asparagus. The service was really nice and they gave my entree for free since they messed up and took too long. I really appreciate their efforts to make things better read more

The vibes of the place were pretty chill and the booths were nice. I can't say I've had any of the food from there, but I can tell you that the service was pretty good, my waiter brought out drinks for me and the person I was on a date with pretty fast and he left us alone while we were chitchatting. Not a bad experience. read more

We were so excited at first, when we had great service and the smoked trout dip was delicious. We both had salads, and those were pretty disappointing. The "Asian miso salad" was SMOTHERED in a creamy white dressing that mostly tasted like mayonnaise, sort of ranchy but more bland? I was quite surprised because I expected more of a traditional Asian crunch dressing. My dining companion said the black and blue steak salad was good, as it should be for $23. Our server forgot to refill my tea and disappeared. read more

Came in for the lunch rush, supper busy place. We sat at the bar and the service was amazing. I got the French dip prime rib. It was def pricey for so little of a sandwhich but the flavor and incorporated mushrooms was all there. Super tender the AuJus was delish and the fries were really great! I'd recommend to anyone in the area. read more

Went here tonight because I was hungrier than I've ever been in my life. Our server was busy, so Samson came and took care of us. He brought our appetizer so quickly, and made sure we had everything we needed the whole night. He recommended a blueberry drink to me and it was divine. He was such a sweet, attentive server. This was one of the best dinners I've had in my life, and most of that is owed to Samson. read more

Consistently our favorite tavern. My friend is vegan and I am not, so choosing a restaurant we both enjoy can be a challenge. Marlows never disappoints when it comes to a delicious and diverse menu. I am already a Black Card holder and an aficionado of Loyalty programs, among which yours is stellar, but what keeps us coming back are the folks out front that we have come to know. I prefer the bar in most taverns and especially love the vibe in your Kennesaw location. Nick, Gini, Liz, Emerson and Ashley are some of the best bartenders and servers we have ever known. I am so sorry if I forgot anyone, we have never had an unpleasant visit ever. Years ago I left a poor review for another location so I felt like I should speak up for the crew on Chastain. We'll be back. PatrickF read more

The food was hot a fresh. The ambience was on point. It gave tavern but also private dining. The TV's weren't too in your face and it still felt like high class cuisine was served there. The waitress was patient, attentive and deserved every bit of the tip we gave her. read more

Had an amazing dinner at Marlow's this weekend! It was a freezing day, but Marlow's felt so warm & friendly when we walked in. We ordered cocktails before both deciding to order the Bistro Fillet with twice baked potatoes. It was fabulous! We both chose the garlic butter sauce on our fillets. Even before our entrees arrived, our server asked if it was our first visit to Marlow's. It was, and unbeknownst to us, the manager brought us an appetizer of kettle chips "on the house." They were so good - like a light nachos app with blue cheese crumbles, tomatoes, and cheese. So yummy! Will definitely visit Marlow's again when I'm back in Atlanta! And I highly recommend you give it a try as well! read more

The asparagus fries are surprisingly amazing. Thin strips of just the asparagus tops, flash fried in a thin batter. We would definitely order again! In my head I imagined them being thick and soggy, but they weren't! read more

GREAT pub! Food is always delicious, especially the Cheeseburger Royal...my fave. Fries and onion rings are also incredible. Great selection of apps, mains and cocktails to fit every taste. Service is always very friendly, but sometimes a bit slow. Be patient, it's worth it. read more

They have the best waitstaff and the food is excellent. The salads are delicious and healthy with fresh crispy ingredients. I especially love the Buddha bowl because it is full of healthy grains which are needed in my diet. I have many favorites but I won't name them. Of course you will have your favorites too. read more

Good selection of indoor and covered outdoors seating. Greater by the amateur as we entered and offered our choice. Good menu selection, something for everyone. Drink prices are a little high. Food is nicely priced. Several non-standard cocktails to choose from as well as a good selection of local and national liquors. Manager offered me a taste of one rye I had not seen before. This was a very nice touch! My drink well well prepared using a single large ice cube that made it cold but melted much slower than smaller cubes. Another really ice touch. Food was very tasty. No complaints at all. Will definitely return when I'm in town. read more

Things you have to try Crab dip Kettle chips Fish tacos French dip We get them every time they're so good. The service is always 5/5. The only thing I've had there that i didn't like was the tuna poke. It just isn't sauced enough to be really flavorful and i think tuna that is diced up much smaller tends to be more tender and can hold more seasoning or sauce. But this place is still a five star spot and one of our favorites! read more

First time here and won't be my last time here. The crab dip is to die for actually all the food is to die for, but the crab dip was so good that we ordered another one. I really wish I could remember the waitresses name because she was fantastic went up and beyond. Definitely will be going back and if you haven't been, I suggest you changed that immediately!!! read more

Marlow's fits in a unique spot of being an elevated neighborhood place with great food and dining experience without being stuffy. Really nice food options that aren't run of the mill "bar food" and very attentive service. The setting allows for a nice date night, a group dinner, or comfortable bar seating, with a trendy yet warm setting. Ample patio seating as well! The prime rib dip could have had a bit more meat to it but was tender and enjoyable. The white cheddar grit cakes are crispy and a good option. read more

All Marlow's are mostly the same, and we get a consistently good product here. This location is a favorite spot in the area and we are comfortable bringing friends here from all over the US. We are very happy that the Cuban sandwich is back on the menu. The only downside is that they need to learn how to properly pour a Guinness. read more

What a unexpected but great way to celebrate my birthday. Marlow's Tavern sent me a discount code because of ly birthday and I decided to go for a visit. I placed a to-go order and the bartender took the order was very nice. Instead of waiting in the car, I decided to do some #selfcare and got me a drink while I waited. The music selection was fun. I was singing from the time I entered to the time I left. I reviewed my order and was so happy I did. I honestly thought there would be larger portions, but no matter what I tell you what. The food is delicious. read more

Never knew this place was here.... met up with a co-worker and had an app and then dinner. We wanted to sit outside, it was a little chilly and the plastic wrap was all rolled down.... The server was nice enough to put on and turn off the heaters outside when it was too chilly or too hot... eventually it all balanced out. For the app, my co-worker put together the truffle parmesan fries topping but on the asparagus fries app.... GENIUS! And they obliged (she had apparently done this before...) Super tasty! Then for dinner, we both locked in on the chicken...so, we both ordered the same thing but I switched up my veggie selection to the smashed red potatoes and green beans that came with the steak and it turned out great. However, the chicken was a tiny bit on the dry side (tiny bit overcooked) and a bit flavorless without any sauce, but the combination of everything together in a bite made up for that. I didn't have any drinks so I can't speak to the bartender's skills, but my co-worker seemed to enjoy the libations. I'd come back and give it another shot, no question. read more

My first time to Marlows Kennesaw as I'm new to the area. the atmosphere is definitely comfortable laid back but still has a hint of class and upscale ambiance. Liz who was my bartender at the time was super sweet and very knowledgeable of the establishment and what the menu has to offer. Bri!!!!! the manager on duty was so welcoming and very hospitable. he stopped by not just to speak but to welcome me. sharing so you can catch the vibe I caught. go enjoy from one foodie to another. I'll definitely be back with family. read more

The general manager is rude and disrespectful. As soon as things started getting busy began snapping at staff and clearly cant handle stress. Made the entirety of experience unpleasant. Corporate needs to focus on redeveloping managment. If Danielle is working i would advise to leave right away. read more

Had a fabulous dining experience at Marlow's last night. The food was very good and the service excellent! We started with the kettle chips with Gorgonzola, bacon and tomatoes (rich and delicious) followed by the shrimp Cobb salad and my friend had the tuna poke. Portions were perfectly sized and the made with quality ingredients. The relaxed atmosphere was perfect to have a drink, dinner and conversation. read more

I have always enjoyed the Marlows experience.... good food, reasonable prices and excellent service. I joined the Insiders Club, but it is of little use. The website instructs you to enter the code on your receipt, but apparently the restaurants no longer put a code on receipts. When I contacted the restaurant, the response was "oh well, sorry" read more

There are so many restaurants in this area but if I am looking for a pleasant experience with good food, I come to Marlows Tavern. This location like the rest of them has an intimate ambiance, with dim lighting. The bar is very large and a great place to come to watch a game. There is patio seating options as well. The service is always friendly and attentive. My favorite appetizer is the Ahi Tuna Poke, it is delicious every time I order it. Marlows might be one of the few restaurants around that has fresh tasting tuna consistently. The Firecracker Shrimp is tasty and is my second favorite appetizer. I have also tried the Shrimp and Crab nacho plate which is a few large nachos covered in cheese with a shrimp and Crab mixture, it's like eating super cheesy Flatbread, definitely a yummy dish to share unless you don't care about ruining your figure and in that case eat it alone. Like any good restaurant Marlows Tavern changes up their menu with the season. I really enjoy the Pan Seared Trigger Fish, it has a perfect combination of flavors all on one plate. The grilled Atlantic Salmon entree is delicious. I tried the Tuna Poke Bowl recently and it had a lovely flavor. There are certain items that are constant like the shrimp and grits, I always substitute the grit cakes for the jalapeño grits, so tasty. My husband loves the burgers and hand cut Tavern fries. I've had the Crispy Grouper, it's super filling and yummy. My favorite alcoholic beverage is the Peachy Georgia Peach & Ginger Margarita. This location is always on point with excellent service, cleanliness, and the food comes out fast. There is something on the menu for every type of diet. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area. read more

My husband and I are traveling to South GA and are spending the night in Kennesaw. It's our anniversary so we wanted a nice meal. We started with the hummus. The veggies were crisp and fresh. The pita bread tasted fresh made and the hummus was delicious. We would definitely recommend! For our entree we split the Trigger Fish, which came grilled atop spaghetti squash with kale, craisins and something lightly drizzled on top. It was DELICIOUS!! They split it for us in the kitchen. The amount was perfect. We also ordered an extra side of grit cakes. They came out crunchy and piping hot. Yum!! We finished our meal with the cream brûlée- we were celebrating our anniversary after all. It topped off the meal perfectly. Our server, Noelani, was fast, efficient, got everything right and was a delight. The meals being delivered to other tables looked awesome too. Definitely give this place a try. Their menu has a variety that includes nice entrees and also more casual meals-like burgers and other sandwiches. read more

Let me be clear about this five-star rating. If you are a foodie just visiting the Atlanta area, you can find more memorable experiences, but I'm a foodie who lives in Kennesaw, and this is my annual birthday pick. It's not that this is THE place to go for a special occasion; it's that it's MY place. MY choice. It's local, it's cozy, the prices are decent, and the food is consistently delicious. That's what I want in a place! The negatives are few: the menu changes, so some of my favorites have disappeared over the years. For real though: please bring back the fried calamari with fried lemon slices. I've never had better, and no one makes it like you! There are not many tables and just a few are big enough for more than four people, so prime time is going to mean a wait, and there's nowhere to wait and no buzzers and no call-ahead seating. Hovering over people's tables is awkward. The patio may be open, but it has no real vibe - not like the coziness inside. So currently, the hummus appetizer is the winner! Holy yum! Perfectly seasoned and creamy with a drizzle of olive oil and served with fresh veg and delightful little pita slices! The burgers are yum. The salads are nice. The drinks are good. The fish tacos are fun. My sister swears by the panini while I'm a chicken-stack girl...always have been. The sides and presentation may change, but it will always be extraordinary-- moist chicken I feel good about eating! The side right now is something about butternut squash and cauliflower....I don't even know. It was so buttery and balanced, I inhaled it and came close to licking my plate. Oh, the jalapeño corn grits are also superb. Locals, if you aren't hanging out here for GNO or business meetings or date nights or dinner out with the big kids, like, why? read more

Sadly, we will not be back to this location. Our service and food experience was terrible. When I ordered my tavern burger, I asked for a side of tomato bacon jam and said "no thank you' to cheese. I then asked for a side caesar salad instead of fries. My teens ordered their burgers with cheese only, no veg. (I specifically told the server - don't even put the L, T, and O on the plate.) When the food came after a long time of waiting, a plate with a pile of caesar salad next to an absolutely naked burger was plopped in front of me. Who puts salad on the same plate as a warm burger? No veg, no tomato bacon jam, nothing. The runner left so quickly that I had no chance to ask for the lettuce, tomato, and jam so I could just add it myself. I started eating the salad in the meantime. There was no S&P on the tables. I waited for someone - anyone to come by so I could ask. I finally got up and looked at a sideboard on the patio where we were seated. A guy server immediately snapped, "do you need something?" When our server finally came back, I told her my burger was supposed to have veg and jam, she said, "I saw them making your burger with the veg." Well, apparently, that's not what I got. So she snatched up the plate and said, "I'll have them fix it." I had to say, "WAIT. Leave it here, so I can at least eat the salad. Just bring me a side of L, T, and Jam." So she plopped the plate back down and left. More waiting. I got a plate of L, T, and also red onion - which I didn't ask for. Now my L and T taste like onion - yuck. I said, "I still didn't get the jam." More waiting. She brought me a ramekin of something I didn't recognize. I said, "that's not tomato bacon jam." Oh. We don't have that anymore. This is onion marmalade. At this point, I must've had smoke coming from my ears. Without a word, she left and sent over a manager who insisted she bring me something else. While she was standing there dealing with my issue, one of my kids said UGGHHH! And had a huge string of onion hanging out of his mouth. He always lifts the top bun and inspects his burgers, but this was underneath the patty, almost melted into the bottom bun. I ended up going with a black and blue salad, which I've had before, but the meat is not very tender. It's the end pieces of the filet. At this point, my other teen was so upset over everything and just wanted to leave. This is the last straw - - so many of our favorite menu items have been taken away over the past few years. But no more tomato bacon jam? Tavern burgers will not be the same without it. I am D-O-N-E. read more
