I've been to this Marlow's on many occasions over the years. And while it is usually pretty decent (with so few options out in East Cobb, that really isn't a feat), today one thing made it all worthwhile - that would be the server, Tinkerbelle. While she wasn't even assigned to our table, she took time out of her day to stop by and say "hi" as she remembered helping us last time we were there. Tinkerbelle even took it further by making good the one thing that wasn't perfect about our visit (remember, she wasn't even assigned to our table - that's professionalism and shows dedication to not only the job but the patrons). This girl should be fronting her own business somewhere as she knows the true meaning of "customer first service". Tinkerbelle, you rock! Rob (and his mom, Susan) read more

I don't understand why anyone would give less than four stars for this Marlow location. The food was outstanding!! The service was even better, friendly, fast and friendly. The restaurant interior felt like an upscale bar with comfy seating. Would definitely come back when I'm near. read more

I never fail to wonder about restaurants that want to seat parties but have no one at the hostess desk to perform that task. They seem to be in the back, talking with seated customers or doing anything but their job. Last night - tables open, 3 parties waiting at the desk....no one to seat them. Management? I guess the good news is the food has always been good at this location. Nothing we have tried was off. It's a neighborhood bar first, so the décore reflects that tradition. Always a nice mature crowd and pleasant folks both working and dining. The lack of unsupervised children running around adds to the enjoyable experience. read more

Marlow's Tavern Santa's Speakeasy is my new favorite holiday pop up in the city. Catch the East Cobb and Woodstock locations *only* decked out as festive hideaways filled with twinkling lights, cozy décor, and limited time holiday bites and seasonal sips that set the mood instantly. And the service is so friendly makes you feel just like family.! my server, Tyler was awesome I stopped in to enjoy playful dishes like Turkey Merry Meatballs, Festive Fondue, Cozy Little Piggies, Poinsettia Pizzetta, and sweet finishes including Sants' Milk and Cookies, sticky toffee cake and molten holiday chocolate cake. The seasonal beverages felt just right too -- from a creamy holiday blend with Old Forester to spiced hot chocolate with a spirited twist and a bubbly Snow Globe moment. read more

I forgot how good their food is! Great menu (lots of choices for everyone), reasonable prices, good portions, friendly service, fun atmosphere (although dark). ASPARAGUS FRIES - $8.50 Thin asparagus, tarragon, citrus aioli. So good, asparagus had the perfect crisp, loved the aioli ... addicting! ROYALE W/ CHEESE - $19.50 Wagyu beef seared perfectly & stacked, American cheese (salty), dill pickle, buttery sesame brioche (bottom bun soggy) w/ small side salad. The burger was very good, loved the charbroiled flavor. The salad was also very good, fresh, esp. loved the lemon dressing. My two friends said the Crispy Grouper ($17.70) is good - server said it's her favorite. The Shrimp & Crab Louie Salad ($22) looked very good too if you're looking for something light - lol looked small to me. I will definitely be back - I'd like to try their Smoked Trout Dip for the appetizer. read more

I LOVE MARLOWS TAVERN! I actually hate to tell yall kuz it already be busy lol their menu is simple but elevated, think a fancy ass Applebee's lol affordable, and good for the whole family.

I've been coming here for years and normally enjoy the burgers or the tacos. But now there are only 2 tacos per order, and I made the mistake of ordering the trout, which was a skinny half of the fish with little flesh on it. Poor value for money. read more

Love Marlow's! Tried the Parmesan crab dip with seasoned saltines- sooo good! Beef carpaccio with toasted capers- excellent. Fried mushrooms with sauce, also good. Isaiah, our server, was attentive and friendly. Also love Marlow's for the ambiance- lively but quiet enough for conversation. Our go to restaurant- highly recommended! read more

Comfort food was called for this evening. It's our second time at Marlow's, and was a good experience, just like the last time. We came on a Saturday evening. It was busy but not crazy. Fall Break likely has a lot of families hitting the road to be out of town. As a result, we had no line and a wonderful outdoor table overlooking the neighborhood Cinema. Ok not the best view but still it was quieter than inside. We jumped right into our order with kids sliders, a house burger and a shrimp Louie salad. We shared everything and everyone was happily satisfied. Nicole and I also had a couple of margaritas to relax, and those were good too. This might be one of my gotos for burgers. read more

I placed an order for pickup at this restaurant via Uber eats. When I arrive at the restaurant to pick up my order, it was 58 minutes after I had placed the order online, and it was not ready. No big deal, mistakes happen. However, the way it was handled by the manager on duty this night (Tuesday 5/6), was the problem. He came up to me and was immediately very accusatory. He said "you're picking up your own uber order? That's ridiculous I've never heard of that." And kept trying to insinuate that I was the one at fault for the order being missing. I even pulled up my uber eats app and showed him my name, order, time the order was placed, and address of the restaurant. He kept trying to insist that somehow I was the one that caused this mistake. He showed me his tablet for someone with a completely different name and order than mine and said "are you sure that's not you?" Finally, he reluctantly asked the kitchen to place my order, but never verified with me what the order was. He came back and told me "the kitchen is working on your Caesar salad now", even when I literally just told him that I didn't order a Caesar salad, I ordered a burger with cheese and a side of fries. He went back to the kitchen and said "burger with NO cheese", and i corrected him and said I ordered cheddar cheese. When the order finally came out, it was a burger with no cheese. He did not apologize at all for the confusion and made me feel like I was inconveniencing him. I left upset and probably won't be back because of his attitude. read more

Marlow's Tavern is really solid spot because of the consistency. I've been going to Marlow's for some years and have rarely had a bad experience. The ambiance is great, it has a intimate feel and I always enjoy the environment. The service is also really good. The food comes out at a really good time, the servers are attentive, and the wait time for a table usually isn't too long. The food is also consistently good. I personally always get the Chicken Panini and I don't see myself going away from this meal anytime soon. The reason for 4 stars is because while it is really consistently good, nothing is super outstanding. You know what you're going to get and that is simply good food that doesn't drop or rise in quality. It's just a reliable place for a consistently good experience. Marlow's is definitely a location I have visited with friends for a good meal and will continue to do so in the future! read more

Marlow's Tavern - Chicken Panini with French Fries - New American Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

One of our old standbys...we like most everything here. It's typically consistent I don't get salads here bc a friend of mine didn't feel well after her meal...so I stick to cooked things but it's great for friends night out and light apps. Service is almost always great so that's a plus read more

The food was good, we all got burgers. I think the prices were a bit high, which is why we all Got burgers, they were the cheapest thing we were interested in. This part of town is expensive regardless though. There was a short wait on a Saturday night but not bad. Service was quick and pleasant. I would go again some time. I think it is a chain. read more

Consistently good food, drinks, and service. Easily the best cocktails in the area and most everything on the menu is good.

Solid Marlow's location and had a great time at lunch. Ended up ordering two items off of the seasonal/daily special menu. Watermelon salad and fish and chips. My friend ordered the hummus plate as her actual meal. When I asked for what beers were on top, the waitress handed me a list from her server book. I actually love this move because she didn't apologize for not knowing the beers or over explained that she had not memorized them. Without a beat she just handed over the list, waited for me to pick one, smiled and took the list back. Pure professional. We relaxed enjoyed our meal. The watermelon salad we had split between the two of us and the kitchen actually portioned it between two plates. We didn't even have to ask for that. Fish and chips was the freshest thickest two pieces of cod I've ever had for fish and chips. A little greasy, but that can be forgiven considering the fresh batter and the cook were perfect. Overall like every time I've ever been to a Marlow's, I felt welcome and calm and satiated by the time I left. read more

Just picked up a to-go order. WOW! Everything was perfect! Two French dips with extra au jus and 2 sides, all hot, packaged so nicely. The tender, shaved prime rib with Swiss cheese & onions is just magical! There's no other word that works. The Mac 'n cheese is so good! Everything was ready when they said it would be... plus when I opened the bag at home, I found a little treat was placed on top! Perfection!!! Love the Marlow's at Shallowford & Sandy Plains. The staff are always really great. read more

Food was really good! And Dylan is the best server, really nice, attentive. Would give 5 starts just because of Dylan tbh.

Food was delicious. Drinks (Skinny Ginger Margs) were great. Service great! Came here with my mom for lunch and we split a lettuce wrap burger (cooked perfectly), the Parmesan Broccoli for our side, and wings. They literally split up everything onto separate plates, which is going the extra mile, in my book, and it makes for a much more enjoyable dining experience. Our server was attentive and friendly. Very impressed! They also have a fantastic Happy Hour! read more

Nasty bartender! Nasty drinks!! GO TO SEED INSTEAD! SAME COMPLEX. The bartender at Marlows, Lauren, is a very nasty person. The only thing worse than her personality are her drinks. Dropped my car off to get detailed. Walked over to Marlows to grab a bloody Mary and a bite while I waited. Malow's is my go to in this area as my folks go here at least once a week. I'll suggest Seed to them with it's lovely airy patio and wonderful service! David met us at the door and was quite lovely! We made the mistake of sitting at the empty bar and not getting a table with David. Waited about 5 minutes for Lauren to make an appearance behind the bar. Once she finally graced the bar with her presence she proceeded to pour her friend another beer. Then realized her friend already had a full beer, so she threw the one she poured out. Then hung out and chatted with her friend. Eventually she decided to come down the bar to us. Yay! Lauren doesn't need to waste time on petty things like hellos. We were greeted with, do you want menus. Yes please! She threw those in front of us and turned to walk back to her friend. I called out, may I please have an absolute bloody Mary? My friend said same for me please. I think Lauren grunted in acknowledgement. She brought us the bloody Marys. My piece of celery was brown with no leaves on it. Mix tasted like pasta sauce. It had a sweetness to it. Yuck! The bloody Marys at the Midtown Marlows are delicious. This one. Not so much. I think a glass of Mr/Mrs Ts mix with a shot of vodka and fresh stalk of celery in it would have been better. Lauren set our drinks down and went to go back and talk to her friend. Once again I called to her back, may we please get the kettle chips. Another grunt of acknowledgement. Then she proceeded to pretend to clean the spot in front of her friend while talking to her. Never came by to see how the drinks were. I eventually got up and walked over to Lauren and her friend and stood behind them with the bar in-between us. Lauren ignored me. She knew I was there. David was happily helping his clients, but saw me standing there ignored and asked if I needed something. I said yes please, some worcestershire sauce. Lauren looked over her shoulder when I spoke then went back to talking to her friend. David was running something to his table. I interrupted Lauren's conversation with her friend and said may I please get some Worcestershire sauce? She snarled at me I heard you. He'll get it. I said no ma'am you do not speak to me like that. We're just going to go. Cancel our order. Whatever was her response. Then I said I'd like to speak with the manager. Lauren sniped she'd speak to them. I didn't want to just walk out and have Lauren call the cops, so I waited for manager. I could tell be the more pronounced snarl on her already petulant looking face she was trashing us. What we did wrong to her, I will never know. David brought me the Worcestershire sauce. Joseph, the Sou chef and acting manager came over and was wonderful. Moved us to a booth. We had David wait on us. I give the restaurant 2 stars for them. Experience was already ruined by you guessed it. LAUREN. My friend finished her Mary. I couldn't get past the sweet taste of the mix, even with the addition of Worcestershire sauce. I had 4 sips I think. I wonder if the great Lauren used some old mix left out from day before? I also saw Lauren surreptitiously taking a shot maybe hair of the dog? I wish she'd had more shots. Might have helped her personality. She's more suited to work at a funeral home than a bar. I don't know though, the corpses would probably get up and leave too! We left Marlows and went to Seed had a lovely time. Great Prosecco elderberry drink. The bartender there was delightful! Night and day from Lauren. Kristen, the lovely lady behind the bar at Seed, was slammed. Taking care of bar, her own tables, and all the orders with grace, wit and finesse. Lauren had her friend, me and my friend at her bar. Neither I, my friend, or my parents will ever set foot in Marlows again. They have lost our business to Seed. So, thank you Lauren for being such a bitter pill of a person! Without you, I would have just kept going to Marlows for years as it was my go to. Now I've discovered Seed! Looking forward to one of their wine dinners. This is my previous 5 star review I have taken down. As I said I won't be back here ever. I didn't want anyone else to get sucked into Lauren's pit of despair. 5 star review I removed from Dec 2023 Great food, drinks and service! I ordered the SHRIMP & CRAB "NACHO" PLATE Sautéed Shrimp, Crab, Pepper Jack, Fresh Jalapeño, but a food runner gave us J.T.'S KETTLE CHIPS Potato Chips, Gorgonzola Cheese, Scallion, Roma Tomato, Bacon. Thinking they'd made a mistake on what i'd asked for, we just went with it and started noshing on them. Thank Goodness! These were delicious! They were loaded with toppings. You got all the toppi read more

I didn't remember leaving a scathing review the last time I was here until I came to write this one. I came because a friend suggested due to location and decided to give it another chance. Bad decision. Burgers, tasteless but the fries were great. Credit where it's due. I presume they are frozen so the credit possibly goes to Cisco. Presentation left a lot to be desired. It seemed to be overstaffed with very lazy bored people who hung around the bar chatting. Same as last visit. The cocktails were below average with the bartender unaware how to maythe most basic drinks. Bad management, they need better training. Definitely my last visit. There's only so much mediocrity you can tolerate read more

Had the steak...didn't expect much....i don't want to say out of this world but I did go back 2 more times.....OK it was Bussin

Service is always good and menu has good variety of different appetizers and main dishes.

Lj JOHNSON is probably one of the most delightful, competent and outstanding employees any company would be proud to have as an employee He was so wonderful to us at lunch yesterday. Please recognize him in some way for his outstanding service. Thank you....Adrienne L read more

I hate to give poor reviews but dinner was just meh. The fish tacos had such potential, but the fish tasted and smell old. All of the fried were greasy and soggy. The chicken panini was too gloopy with sauce you could not pick up the sandwich to eat it. The steak salad was pretty good. Steak was cooked right and salad was fresh. Overall Just fell like mediocre food. Will not likely return. read more

Went to Marlow's for a Mother's Day dinner and had a horrible experience regarding the food. We ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and the chicken had a horrible taste/texture like it was old. We let the server know and said that they have had that complaint before. Brought a fried chicken tender to replace the grilled chicken. I cut the new fried chicken and it was still raw on the inside. After this experience we will not go back! read more

The fries and grouper were soaked in oil and burnt. Can't believe they would plate and serve.

Kudos to Lance Hagen, Chef @ Marlow's Tavern Johnson Ferry... Thanks for going above and beyond the call of duty...! Grateful.!!!!! read more

Marlow's catered our bridal shower for my future daughter in law. They did an excellent job. The pre planning was easy. Communications were very easy. The food and preparation were excellent! Chef came to our home, prepared the food so it was fresh and delicious! Staff served us and they were professional and courteous. They cleaned up everything and were reasonably priced. We will definitely hire Marlow's again and we highly recommend! Great job Marlow's! read more

So happy I chose this spot. After work after a long day and the food hit the spot. The shrimp and grits was a different style. Grit cakes with a tomato reduction, plenty of shrimp. The bread pudding came out hot with vanilla bean ice cream. Sooo good. Others had the bayou burger and the black and bleu burger. Looked fantastic! Can't wait to return. read more

Marlow's on a Thursday evening around 8p... no wait, my girlfriend and I sat in the patio space, which is fairly spaced out but can hardly be considered "outdoor seating" for anyone considering this location a Covid-friendly location to sit outside. Inside was packed. Service was ehh. Our server seemed like he might have been having a bad day, so it started off kind of rushed while we took a few minutes to view the menu and order. Ultimately we landed on the Bri fondue appetizer to start. The cheese was tasty and it comes with pretzel breadsticks to dip in. Pretty good, no complaints. My friend ordered the salmon dish and I ordered the Wagyu burger. Both were tasty, the salmon was phenomenal actually. I tried a bite from my friend and I will absolutely be getting the same next time I come. The wagyu burger was juicy and cooked just right. I opted for asparagus fries, and hands down, the highlight of my entire night. ASPARAGUS FRIES - 10/10 We were deep in conversation when the food came, I forgot to take pics, but I did manage to grab a quick pic of our appetizer. Tasty food but service was subpar and the TVs out in the patio were playing some show where surgery was being performed and people were dying... not exactly the vibe we were going for. read more

We stopped in for a later dinner after a movie and had an exceptional experience with Brendan, whose service was outstanding. His friendly and personable nature made every interaction enjoyable. Additionally, his intuitive understanding of our needs ensured that everything went smoothly. Brendan's dedication to providing top-notch hospitality truly enhanced our experience. Additionally, the food was delicious- the Ahi Tuna Salad, French Dip & Firecracker Shrimp were among our favorites. We were the last table there but the manager, Matt and the rest of the team did not make us feel rushed to leave or make us feel unwelcome- which is truly a rarity in 2024! Every visit we've had at this location over the years has exceeded our expectations, the people make this place wonderful- to include the bartender Lauren & the bar manager, Jason. Great job on continuing to deliver best in class hospitality continuously, East Cobb team! read more

I love Marlow's, always my go to for a burger and their Black and Blue Bacon Burger is outstanding! The Gorgonzola that is on the burger is LIFE! I always get a side for dipping my fries in ! The food is always fresh, hot and delicious! Asparagus fries are good but can be stringy. Jalapeño Nachos are amazing! But the Best appetizer is the Smoked Trout with Pita Chips on the side, AMAZING! Drinks are ok, a little cheap with the alcohol but I guess that depends on the bartender. Service is good. Ambiance is comfortable. read more

MR says... good food. Great place to hang out with my buddy MRS says ... we particularly like this location. Staffs are friendly... super nice folks. They are attentive and courteous. For dine-in, the patio seating is popular now a days post reopening from Covid. They do clean and sanitize after each customer. Staff wears mask. It's a conscious effort to ensure everyone is doing their part. Makes you feel in control of the situation. So here are a few things we normally get: - chicken wings (crispy and juicy wings. comes in 8pcs I think) - firecracker shrimp (it's like the frozen boom boom shrimp from wholefoods with the whole shebang of chili sauce) - chicken tenders and fries (who doesn't love some fried food) - RIBs (it's seasonal so when they have Ribs and Whiskey menu do try 'em) - asparagus fries My personal favorite is the grilled salmon. It comes a little buttery and delicious. It's the Tavern Favorite too! They have kids menu. Very kid friendly. Family friendly. read more

Marlow's is great every time. I docked one star because of the prices being outrageous, but still a very good meal. The food always comes out quick and hot, and very tasty. Great for a girls night or family night! Tip: get the asparagus fries. So good! read more

Totally ok experience - but that's it. It's ok. No drama, no dilectable cocktails, no great food.

Food is good, service was good. No complaints. I've eaten here a few times and consistently have a solid dining experience.

We sat at the bar and we got greeted within 3-5 minutes. We ordered the lobster and shrimp nachos (So tasty) We also ordered the grouper sandwich and spilt it so I didn't take a photo. The food was so tasty! The nachos were really good and unique as every chip was full of cheese. The bar was nice with and indoor and outdoor bar seats we decided to sit inside. The wings very good with a nice medium to spicy sauce and I liked the ranch. We will be back read more
