Typical bar & grill family type place but with better quality food. The service and ambience is wonderful. Highly recommend.

Excellent French dip with tasty truffle fries. They were out of the first two beers I ordered but totally redeemed themselves with my third pick! Wonderful patio area with a nice breeze! I will be back read more

First and foremost the service here is amazing. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. Our server was knowledgeable of the menu and offered so many suggestions as it was our first time. I'm always so grateful for that. The manager brought us their J.T.S Kettle Chips appetizer on the house as it was our first time there. The chips are made in house and they were so crispy and paired well with the Gorgonzola cheese, scallions, Roma tomatoes and bacon. I also got the ahi tuna poke appetizer. The tuna was flavorful and the won ton chips were amazing, wish we got more of them! The ahi tuna poke came with avocado slices mixed it, which paired perfectly (maybe because I love avocado!). For an entree I ordered the Royale Burger with Cheese. I ordered it as it comes, medium-rare. It was so flavorful and delicious, I had no problem finishing it. The buttery brioche just made it even more "wow". I got the truffle fries on the side. They were flavorful, I ended up giving them to my daughter only because I can't have too much of the Parmesan cheese. They have about 20 craft and local beers on draft and can. Not a huge selection but, many of the popular locals are on there. With food this good, I would be okay with just what they have or a water, haha. read more

The drinks I got last time were good. This visit I was sober, but I ordered marinated olives and the ahi tuna poke as my entree. The food is good, but there are so many different options, it took me a while to figure out what I wanted. It's nice to hear the live music, but good luck getting a seat close to them. They usually have music playing inside over the live music outside. read more

The food is amazing! I haven't found a plate I didn't like. The selection of drinks are tasty as well. The atmosphere (low lighting, etc) is enjoyable. read more

Atmosphere: 4/5 good seating with booths, regular tables inside, and outdoor seating is available as well. There are TVs throughout the restaurant, but none have the sound on. Service: 5/5 Staff is super friendly and was happy to give recommendations when requested. The hostess even accommodated us to sit somewhere we could watch a football game while we ate. Price: 4/5 Price of food is very reasonable for entrees. Food: 4/5 My boyfriend and I ordered the firecracker shrimp and their chicken sandwich (daily special). The firecracker shrimp was tasty that is fried and covered with spicy thai chili sauce and a spicy mayo aioli on them. They were pretty good, but in my opinion, they were overpriced for the small portion they gave. I don't think I would order them again because of that. The star of the show was the chicken sandwich! It was delicious with fried pickles instead of regular ones. The chicken portion and the fries portion was large and worth the price! Overall, I really enjoyed this place as nice meal! It is a place that I would be happy to go here again and I definitely want to try their lunch entrees the next time I visit! read more

Service was a little slow on a slow night for business. Appetizers were good but burger was overcooked. Drinks were good but pricey for their quality. Neat space. This place has potential to be much better than the actual experience was. read more

Party of 6 walked in on a Saturday night and seated promptly. Addison was a pleasure as a server. Food was delicious. Appetizers were shrimp and crab nachos, asparagus fries and Flatbread. Delicious! Meals included blackened grouper, filets and Royale buger. Everything was served promptly and delectable. A definite must if you have not been there. read more

Disappointed with the food portion and the service. I notified the server that my meal portion was smaller than advertised. The manager did get involved and offered compensation, but I declined. The server was very distant and not engaged. He also kept my change assuming it was his tip after the poor service and I was already charged a service fee due to large party. Just bad performance/etiquette in general. read more

The food has no taste, the server's are not attentive. You are un-noticed by the server's.

Service was on point from beginning to end. Cocktails were great. The food - amazing. We had the tempura asparagus, crab cake, shrimp and grits and the salmon. The dipping sauce for the asparagus was a very good pairing with the fried flavor. Cooked to perfection. We are from Maryland and the crab cake was a true MD crab cake. It could have used some old bay but it was nothing but crab and very moist. The best shrimp and grits I've ever had! And the salmon was cooked just right. We were just visiting but I'll be dreaming of the shrimp and grits for a while. I wish I had taken more photos. read more

Marlow's Tavern - Crab cake. - New American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Out of the 2 Marlows Taverns located in the areas I frequent, the Waterford Lakes location is my favorite. I've never had to send back food, service is consistently impeccable, and the ambiance is always fun. Last night, our server: CJ made our holiday get together with friends absolute perfection. Good food and good times! Note: no reservations after 6:30pm. Tip: highly recommend the blackberry mojito. read more

Our first visit to this location. Tried the pretzel fondue and it was good. Had a wide selection of beers and other drinks available. Love their wide cut fries read more

A guy who thinks he's funny walks into a gastropub and orders a kangaroo burger and an IPA because; he says "I feel like something hoppy." OK, that's my only gastropub joke but seriously, I had a fine meal and a couple of brews here on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The ATMOSPHERE here has a couple of unique features that I appreciated. One side of a beautiful rectangular bar serves the inside of the restaurant and the other serves a very long open air patio that could be glassed off. It looked very pleasant out there when I visited but it will be interesting to see how they manage Florida's heat and sun glare. There were also some communal tables that looked like fun with the right group of folks. I sat at the inside bar and my bartender was spot on. She was friendly, knowledgeable and checked on me appropriately. So my CUSTOMER SERVICE was just fine. As befitting a gastropub the beer list was extensive and the wine list was also decent. Specialty drinks were also present so the three categories were covered. I was drinking Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale in a frosty glass and it was excellent. Four stars for overall ADULT LIBATIONS. Now for the "gastro" part. I ordered the Tavern "Double Cheese" Cheeseburger for about $11 and choose cheddar, among several choices for my cheese. It arrived nicely plated on a toasted bun with excellent hand-cut fries. The fries were accompanied by standard ketchup which was a small disappointment. I've visited many gastropubs that upgrade to specialty ketchup with unique flavors that would have added a nice touch. The star of the show was of course the burger and it was four stars for sure. It was juicy and flavorful and cooked perfectly. It was built properly so you could eat it without needing a bib! The condiment used was House-Made" Tomato Bacon Jam. It was tasty but as others have said, I would have appreciated a little more. Overall it was an excellent plate so once again four stars for the FOOD. I'm rarely disappointed when I see a solid four stars from my fellow Yelpers and these folks are a perfect example. I believe you'll have a fine experience here. read more

Marlow's Tavern - Tavern Double Cheeseburger with Hand-cut Fries. Awesome! - New American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I'm very happy to see a new restaurant over on the east side. We were lucky to attend the soft opening for the dinner session. They are located in Waterford Lakes town center near the movie theater. The atmosphere is great but I highly recommend dining on the outside covered patio. They really put a lot of thought into the design. There are several fans with water misters that help keep you cool and I also noticed they have ceiling heaters for the few days it gets cold here. There are 2 large TVs and ample seating. Since this was a soft opening there were "training menus" that consisted of different items from the main menu. We were allowed to choose 1 appetizer to share and an individual entree or sandwich. We were given the regular menu and drink menu to review just in case we had questions or wanted an adult beverage. Our waitress was awesome! She explained the process and gave suggestions and let us know what some of her personal favorites were. We decided on the wings for the appetizer because I have a shellfish allergy and a lot of the other choices had shellfish. Luckily she heard me say that I had an allergy because that decreased my options of what I could eat. One of the corporate trainers came to our table to explain that they use the same fryers to fry seafood, shellfish, fries, wings and gritcakes. I was totally bummed! I wanted to try the crispy snapper dish but couldn't. We ended up getting the warm Brie fondue with toasted crostini bread which was delicious! I even joked that it would make a great lunch with a nice glass of wine! For my entree I ended up getting the homemade chicken salad sandwich with a side of the jalapeño corn grits since I couldn't have fries. I'm not a sandwich person so I had low expectations although everyone was sure that I would love it. They proved me wrong about that sandwich! It was delicious! I actually wanted to ask the waitress if they just sold the chicken salad by itself because it was so good! It was served on a nicely toasted ciabatta roll with cheddar cheese and sliced red onions. Great flavor! The jalapeño corn grits brought my southern roots right out! Lol! Delish! It's made with true yellow cornmeal which is what grits are supposed to look like. Nice hearty taste and just enough spice. I can't wait for them to officially open. I'm just a little bummed that I'll be limited to what I can order due to the shellfish allergy. read more

This was our first visit to Marlow's Tavern and it is a really nice experience. We stopped in for early dinner around 5:30 and we were seated immediately. Chase was our server and he was warm, welcoming and friendly. We took a little time exploring the menu and ordered pastrami egg rolls as an appetizer. A Classic Burger with added cheddar cheese and tomato-bacon jam served with fries, and a grilled chicken salad. After we ordered the restaurant manager brought over a small order of JT's Kettle Chips with a blue cheese dressing, chopped tomatoes and green onion to sample since it is our first visit. We will definitely order the chips again as they were very flavorful. The cheeseburger was moist on a soft bun and didn't need any other condiments with the Tomato-bacon jam. The fries were awesome. Every single fry was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. I don't think I've ever had fries quite this well prepared. The grilled chicken salad was very fresh and tasty. The menu is a good size without being overwhelming. The staff is friendly and the environment of the restaurant is a little dark, and comfortable. read more

Decent service even when packed. Consistent meals. If there is a spot at the bar, having some drinks there can be fun at the end of a long week before dinner. They have a good thing going there. read more

We had another school fundraiser coupon for $10 off; and, since we've always enjoyed this Marlow's, we figured we'd stop in for a burger. We went in right at Noon; and, were greeted and seated immediately. The place was hopping! Our server, Joshua, took our drink orders. I tried the New Fashioned, which seems to be a trend among local restaurants, this one with a banana liquor added! My wife; and, our daughter had soft drinks. Looking at my last review, it seems that the New Fashioned isn't new for me; I had it on our last visit! Nonetheless, the cocktail was simply stellar. For an appetizer, we all shared the Fig and Bacon Toast, which featured the fruit spread, along with some creamy goat cheese, and bits of bacon on a crusty crostini... it was exceptional. We all loved it. For mains, my daughter and I had burgers Black and Blue for her and BYO for me (bacon jam, cheddar cheese.) Both were cooked perfectly to medium-rare! I got the grit cakes as a side; and, she had grilled asparagus. My wife had the Tuna Salad, which sounds more mundane than it actually was. The fresh greens were served with a side of perfectly seared Ahi Tuna... YUM! She said that the salad was exceptional. read more

I like Marlow's. I want to love it. But it's not good enough. It's got that classy gastropub vibe but the food just can't live up to it. Oh it's not bad. For example the burgers should be amazing. But its just decent. Nothing you haven't had in a hundred other places. Wings are good. But no boneless option? Salads are ok. Fish tacos were fine. The side of olives are nice. One place it shines is the cheddar grit cake. Unique and delicious. And when paired with shrimp and the sauce? Amazing. And their hummus is pretty dang good. The menu from top to bottom needs that quality and creativity. I had friends from out of town go and they agreed. Meh. I hope Marlow figures it out but I doubt it. It's too successful but honestly we deserve a bit better. read more

First time ordering food to-go (like we have a choice?!?). Great vegetarian/vegan options available. Highly recommend the Quinoa Poke Bowl; cooked perfectly and so filling. The Asparagus Fries come with a delicious dipping sauce with a kick. Food was ready in a timely manner and we were greeted by super friendly staff on the phone as well as during pick up. Price for all this food was also very reasonable, under $40! read more

We are new to town and have literally never eaten anywhere in Orlando. A co worker recommended this place and it did not disappoint! We were celebrating our wedding anniversary. The wait was only about 30 minutes on a Friday night. Once we got seated, Alexis was awesome. Very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. I had the infamous fish tacos with jalapeño corn grits. My husband has the grilled center cut filet. Everything was amazing! Each new item I tasted was better than the last. I do not like grits. Again, I super dislike them. But these were good. Creamy but thick, cheesy yet a little jalapeño-y. So good. Not spicy, but had great texture and flavor. The steak was tender and juicy and cut like butter! Surprised we got as much steak for only $24. Very surprised! The fish tacos were excellent. The tortilla was warm, the fish was blackened and HUGE! It didn't have an overwhelming amount of cabbage like most fish tacos do. Whatever sauce was on it, was perfection. It was perfect! Have I mentioned I loved all of the food? I even ate the green beans and some potatoes under the steak. Highly recommend. Would definitely go there again. Our waitress did tell us that the menu changes every season, so maybe I'll be back for the fall menu! read more

Solid, decent pub fare. We decided on this place for lunch after catching a movie in the Waterford area and seeing that there were pretty good reviews of Marlow's online. We started off with the brie fondue (Melting Brie, Swiss, Mascarpone, Chardonnay and Warm Salty Pretzel Bread) which was tasty with the pretzel sticks (not really pretzel bread but soft pretzel sticks, but okay). The brie added an interesting tang to the fondue that I haven't had at other places. I wish there was one more pretzel added--having only 3 is weird when there's two people and we have to split that last pretzel :( I tried to order several beers before I finally could get one. First I tried to order a Stella Artois but the server came back after noting the keg was tapped out. Okay, I'll try the seasonal IPA on draft... nope, that one's out too. Finally I ordered a Jai Alai (in a can) and that they had. I was a little bummed because I prefer a draft beer to a bottled but none of the other drafts really appealed to me that day. The Jai Alai was really good with the pretzel fondue, though. I got the Tavern burger (Our Classic, Simple and Seasoned Perfectly Served with "House-Made" Tomato Bacon Jam, Toasted Sesame Brioche Roll) and added Gorgonzola (and my server, to her credit, did ask if I meant the crumbles or the dressing--crumbles, please) to it. I'm glad I did--the burger came out perfectly medium-rare as I asked, yay! But it was a little bit on the blander side and the cheese helped perk it up a bit. I would have liked a bit more of the tomato bacon jam too as it got a bit lost in there. The "hand cut" fries on the side were decent--again, typical pub fare. My husband got the Buffalo chicken wrap (Spicy Chicken, Grilled or Fried, Shredded Romaine, Tomato, Jalapeno Jack Cheese, Ranch Dressing in Grilled Tortilla) grilled and it wasn't bad either. For his side, I convinced him to get the white cheddar grit cakes. Those were super. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you like grits, give them a try. I thought they were miles better than the fries to be honest. I will say that the service was great. Our server checked on us multiple times, as did another server who was just passing by and the general manager, who came by to apologize about the different beers not being available. Everyone was really friendly and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. This is a good place to grab a bite if you're out and about in Waterford. read more

One if the things I love about Marlow's Tavern is that they make changes to the menu but still keep the favorites in it. They have the best Parmesan Fries, I am not even kidding. I have yet to try better fries than theirs. Service is always great but I recommend making reservations on weekend evenings because they do get busy. Lastly if you are like me and hate to be sung happy birthday, this is the place for you because they don't sing Happy Birthday as a rule!!!! It is truly the best. read more

We came her for dinner with the family while we dropped off our son at UCF. What a great restaurant. We had excellent staff, the manager treated us to their signature chips, which we soooo good. Everyone enjoyed the appetizer, meals and dessert (creme brûlée). We had the steak which was on point and the chicken with corn grits that were to die for! We highly recommend this place. read more

Worst service EVER! Went there to celebrate my father's birthday, no silverware when they brought the food, one order was wrong. They took it and brought the same thing back...then same manager takes it back and brings back another plate and said "was too late to cancel the order so you can eat it, take home or do whatever with it...its on me", the steak was overly cooked and hard, couldn't even cut it. After serving the food NOBODY checked on the table to see if everything was ok or needed anything. Don't know what happened to the server, he disappeared after the initial order was given. The employees (assuming were the managers) were standing, staring at us and clearly talking about us...Worst service, worst food...worst everything! Have never had a worse experience in a restaurant. Totally ruined the occasion...needless to say we won't come back or recommend to anyone. read more

Great job on the Gorgonzola Burger with bacon. It came back cooked exactly to the temperature I requested. My wife ordered a chicken panini that was very tasty. She ordered it with a salad that had some nice premium ingredients that come included with no extra charge. She said she would go back just for the side salad! The waiter was helpful. I was wary of the Burger based on the reviews of others. He told me the burgers were awesome and he was right. I think they have the best burgers in East Orlando. None of that skinny Five Guys style stuff. I will definitely return and I think it's definitely worth trying. Great portions and fair prices. read more

I came here last night without reservation and this has become one of my favorite places. It has a very nice environment, booth or table seating great especially for a date night. The manger came by and welcomes us as this was my first time there. The waiter was awesome, made some great suggestions on food options and checked up on us without over doing it. The food and drinks were made just right! The price was not to shabby either. With that being said go try it!! read more

Living in Oviedo, it can be hard to find a lot of nice variety when it comes to eating out that isn't just fast food or huge chains. One of the exceptions to that is definitely Marlow's Tavern. Marlow's Tavern offers a very solid menu of offerings with occasional specialty items that rotate in and out with the seasons. They offer things from a surprisingly delicious Caesar salad to some really hefty and filling burgers along with some really tasty appetizers like asparagus fries. My go to though is definitely the shrimp and grits. Now before I discovered Marlow's, I was convinced I was not a grits man. Granted, I had never eaten grits a day in my life and was stubborn to change. But I figured my tastes had evolved over time and I'd give it a shot. Marlow's was definitely the perfect place to try out grits for the first time. I'm a lifelong fan of grits now. Can't get enough. There's also plenty of seating around the restaurant and a nicely stocked bar should you feel the need to just hang out with some friends around drinks and apps. I'd definitely recommend this place as one of my Oviedo favorites. read more
