    Came here for a late lunch for the first time and loved this space! The restaurant was clean, parking was easy and our waiter was very informative in terms of helping me understand the menu for the first time. I went with his recommendation for the Cesar salad with my sandwhich and it was 10/10. Is absolutely recommend!

    Black and blue burger with the Caesar salad
    Kailey F.

    I want to start by saying that the service and the waitress were great. However, the food was just so mediocre. I did the black and blue burger, mainly because I wanted Gorgonzola cheese. They really did not put much on there, I could barely taste the cheese, which is saying something since Gorgonzola is a very strong cheese. Also, I asked for a medium rare burger, my partner, who asked for a medium burger, got a much closer, medium rare burger than I did. My partner did the Royale with cheese. He said that, while the actual meat itself was good, the bun and the cheese just made it feel cheap. In general whenever I eat out and I know I can make something better, I am immediately disappointed and this was very much so the case with Marlowe's tonight.

    Bistro Steak
    Jasmin F.

    The bistro steak was my favorite after work meal, everything flavor wise just seemed to work amazingly but the new combination just doesn't do it for me. It now comes with broccoli and carrots, but the servers were great to swap it for asparagus (when I realized the meal was changed) for me since I've never been a fan of cooked carrots. The new potatoes aren't as filling as the old option, and don't do much flavor wise. All in all, the size wasn't too crowded during the weekday happy hour time frame, the staff was great/attentive and the steak was cooked wel but I wouldn't choose this option again.

    Wings. 3/10

    This was my second time going to the Marlow's Tavern in Waterford Lakes. Lets start with the positive: The ambiance is like any bar/taver and the locale is nicely decorated with christmas decor to match the season. The service is honestly the only reason I would give this location a positive rating. Our waiter was nice and would refill our drinks without even asking. I also noticed that the executive chef would bring out the food somtimes to other tables and was very nice. The food unfortunately was a miss for me and expensive. A 6oz steak was 25$$ on their menu. I ordered the wings as an appetizer. They came out super fast but they were dry and lacking in sauce. I ordered the Classic burger. It was lacking in flavor as if it had no salt or seasoning on it and the fries were soggy and rubbery at the same time with no flavor. My parter had the chicken (fried) wrap and it was also soggy and lacking flavor. If you are looking for tavern food, just go to ale house around the corner or chickfila for a chicken wrap. I am very disappointed I doubt I will go a third time.

    Pan Seared Chicken Piccata
    Deborah P.

    Nice patio dining with great service and hot food served in a timely manner. The Duck Carnitas Spring rolls were a light appetizer with a nice blend of flavors. For the mains, we enjoyed the twist on the Shrimp & Grits which were served on 2 White Cheddar Grit cakes & we also had the Pan Seared Chicken Piccata served with a flavorful white wine caper sauce.

    Blue cheese bacon burger - so good!

    It was crowded on a Friday night but we got a table right away. Our server wasn't very sweet, she seemed annoyed actually. She was very blunt with answers to our menu questions we had but did steer us in the right direction. The tuna appetizer and blue cheese burger were both fantastic. Even the fries were great, which surprised me because I don't usually like hand cut.

    French Dip Sandwich
    Christy M.

    While visiting my parents in Orlando, they suggested we go to this place which is their favorite spot. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and the place was packed with graduation parties. Somehow we got a table immediately and the host was so friendly, personable, and hospitable. We sat at a clean table and ordered. My parents had the tuna poke appetizer; the appetizer was visually appealing and quite tasty! Afterwards there was a bit of a wait for the entrees. Normally I'd be pretty annoyed by this but our server was proactive - addressed it- and explained the kitchen was backed up. Lunch arrived and my French Dip Sandwich was also very good. Before we wrapped up lunch, the server reminded my parents to use their app for " points" - which I also thought was a nice reminder. Overall it was a very positive experience due to food taste, communicative and friendly staff, and cleanliness.

    We sat out on the patio for happy hour and had really great service . She turned the fans off, the heat lamps on and then turned them off again. She was great when I was being a pain. The happy hour specials are terrific, lots of good $5 drinks and good. The wings were awesome as always.

    I'm pretty sure I've reviewed Marlow's in the past. Some of my reviews tend to disappear for some reason... Anyway, the food here is pretty good and they have a variety and surely something for everyone in your party. I still remember I had one of the best burgers here about 9 years ago, and every time I've ordered a burger since, I've been disappointed but still hope for that burger I had on my very first trip here. Pricewise, they're all over the place. Their burgers cost about as much as a delicious seared Ahi Tuna salad. Some other meals are pretty reasonable, but some are way over priced. I'd say mostly the sandwiches and appetizers are the over priced items. I'm not too familiar with their specials, but maybe that's the secret here. They have inside and outside seating and both are nice. Service is usually great and food usually comes out quickly. They're pretty good about sending coupons and such if you sign up for their rewards, which is a plus. They do have some seasonal menus like Mardi Gras and other holidays. I haven't seen Stuffed Groundhog though.

    French dip
    Colette S.

    I have always loved this place - actually one of our go to's when visiting our kids. But this trip was quite disappointing, to the point I don't think we will be back . First the good - the tall young man at the front is amazing! He was friendly and accommodating. He truly could have used some help- he was clearing tables, trying to greet everyone and trying to get people seated in a swift manner. Now the rest of our experience. We sat outside and our waitress was not quite up to par. She was friendly but let us sitting for long periods of time with no check in. We had to ask for things many times and then when she would finally bring something it would not be what we had asked for , so we would just give up. My husband got the Asian salad and added chicken- he said it was more wontons than lettuce and the chicken was ridiculously dry. My French dip, which had always been my favorite did not disappoint. My son enjoyed his burger. My other son got a tuna dish but couldn't really enjoy bc his soy never came. Hopefully the poor service was just a fluke but don't think I'll be convincing my family to return.

    Im always sad when I cant give a great review. It wasn't busy and we were promptly seated. Server was friendly and did answer questions but took quite a time getting the answer when asked about the type of crab in the shrimp and crab nachos. We placed our orders and food arrived in a timely manner. Everything I had in my plate was way over salted. When it was brought to the servers attention that the deep fried mushrooms were way too over salty, his response was "they tend to season generously here, would you like a different sauce to counteract the saltiness?" If that hat is what servers are taught to say by this establishment, I would never go back. Actually I will not ever go back. The food was not worth it. The fact that we were not offered a new bowl of not so "generously seasoned mushrooms " and were expected to sic it up and deal with it did not impress me one bit. Not much more I can say except avoid this place if you want good service an food worth the price you pay for it.

    Ahi Poke
    Christina C.

    This girls night out was my first experience at Marlow's, and I really enjoyed it! It was a great place to stop in for some drinks and appetizers that were light but still flavorful! Our server was so kind and gave great drink recommendations. I ended up going with the blueberry buck which was so tasty! For our appetizers we got the ahi tuna poke, smoked trout dip, and truffle fries. Everything was absolute perfection, especially that fish dip! Next time I eat here, I want to try their entrees. If the appetizers are any indication, I know I'll be in for a treat!

    Scalloped potatoes..dry and full of bread crumbs
    Dolly S.

    Don't go for mother's day. They sat us 15 minutes past our reservation. The waiter was already frazzled when we say down. They put the 11 of us at 2 round tables in the center isle which made it super uncomfortable for the 2 where the tables meet and with the ones that were sticking out in the path were worried they were going to get food dropped on them. The scallop potatoes were more bread crumbs than potatoes. The asparagus side was 3 stalks that took a steak knife to cut. Mashed potatoes were so salty.

    Came here after an Orlando Magic game. Late night comfort food joints are a staple of Downtown…read moreOrlando, and they are desperately needed. Looking around after the game, a smash burger sounded like just the thing we needed. Ambiance was nice. Good, chill vibes, a random door to a random next-door bar. Plenty of viable seating for my party of six. Service was pretty ok. The front counter worker was nice enough, but the food took forever to come out. Much longer than I would expect for the products we ordered. The food itself was dynamite. I got the Papi Big Mak (Two Florida-raised beef patties, smashed onions, lettuce, American cheese, sweet-heat pickles, tostone "Middle Bun" , Papi Mak sauce, Sesame Martin Potato Roll). This was a fun thing. The patties had a good crisp to them. The totstone did not, though, so it got a little lost in the bite and chew. Needed more sauce. And that sesame seed bun really helped out a lot, too. A little extra texture in every bite. I was a fan. I also got the chance to try the Umami Papi (Two Florida-raised beef patties, crispy bacon, white cheese, sweet-heat pickles, crispy onion, raspberry jam, Uuuumami truffle sauce, sesame buns). This one was a better topping combination. The pickles had a nice pop of acid, the raspberry jam really stood out, adding a nice sweetness, and the truffle sauce, never thought I needed it on a burger. I did. Standout burger. I also got the Papis Loco Fries. I forget exactly what these fries were topped with, but the cheese, just look at it. Congealed just perfectly. A good side item, for sure. Overall, this greasy meal is out there doing the good work for the people. Maybe this was a four star meal overall, but I'm not sitting, that Umami Papi was a standout for me, and the reason I now give five stars.

    Pros: Ambiance was typical downtown hustle and bustle…read more Attached to other businesses with mystery doors. Good vibes. Food was good. Nice, crispy edges on the patties, and I loved how many sesame seeds were on the buns. Great flavor. Cons: The only thing was that they waited for our whole party's order to be ready before calling names, instead of just serving them as they came. This lead to cold burgers. Tips: Make sure you arrive early! If you wait too long, they switch to a smaller, less interesting menu.

They offer beef, chicken, Impossible, and veggie patties, along with a wide variety of cheeses and buns to choose from. My Impossible Burger was tasty, but I'm not sure it quite justified the price. On our first visit, I got a very impressive looking shake loaded with toppings, unfortunately it wasn't on the menu this time around. It's not my top pick for burgers, but it's definitely not a bad option either.

    I remember seeing this establishment and it's owner featured on CNBC's YouTube channel. Since then,…read moreit's been on my list of places to try out to support local businesses. To my surprise, I was disappointed by the food. I got the loaded frings and a 5 x 5 burger. I believe the burger is relatively new, since it wasn't on any of the pictures of their menu on Google. Ambiance: The staff was friendly enough and I do like the fact that you can see them cooking the burgers in front of you. However, looking around at the restaurant, it looks like there was no upkeep. There were broken tiles, tables weren't cleaned, and I believe there might have been mold when I was filling my water cup at the ice machine, like visibly on the spout. Food: Loaded frings- I'm not sure how you mess this one up, but they somehow did it. The fries were overcooked and the bacon was fried to hell. I think you can actually see how burnt the bacon was in the pictures. It tasted like charcoal. Lastly, the fries were completely soaked in cheese sauce, which I'm guessing was from a can. It tasted like the cheese you'd have at state fairs, except more watery. There was more sauce than fries and onion rings! I should have taken a picture after eating half of the fries. I could not eat the bottom half of the frings because it was all soggy Burger- the same cooked-to-hell bacon was used on the burger. Not much else need to say about that. Looking at the picture of the burger, you'd think that the patties were way overcooked as well. That was not entirely the case. The patties weren't extra dry, but they weren't as juicy as I would have liked a burger to be. I'd say it was just okay. Maybe a half step below average. I really wanted to like this place, but I wasn't able to. I'm not sure if I came by on an odd day, because the reviews say otherwise. I really hope management can fix these issues.

    I sadly just realized that I have never reviewed Freddy's. I have been here so often that I…read moreassumed that I already had! Time to fix that oversight. Now this review has nothing to do with that my father's name was Freddy and that my mother's favorite treat was frozen custard. But those little tidbits of information don't hurt. The warm feeling that I get when I eat frozen custard reminiscent of enjoying it on the boardwalk with my mom is renewed at Freddy's not because of the ambience of the restaurant, but because of that same delicious taste that my mind still seems to remember from long ago that I have not found anywhere else before this. But I digress. Freddy's may look like your typical fast food restaurant, but it is anything but. I already loved it for the burgers, the french fries with their wonderful sauce, and of course, the custard but now they have a salad as well. Really fresh greens with my favorite burger on top as a garnish. Low-carb great taste and totally filling. But not so filling as to not leave room for that wonderful custard. On this particular visit, I did run into an issue which I will not lower my rating because of, but want people aware of so it does not happen to them. If you have a coupon for a discounted custard, and they ring in any other item after that, it will restore the custard to the full price on their register. I did not notice that and paid the full price. The manager did give me a card for a free custard next visit so they certainly took responsibility but just wanted people aware to keep an eye on that. In defense of the staff, I don't think they noticed either that it had occurred, so I did not allow that to detract from my impression of five star service from their pleasant, friendly and attentive staff Of course the custard is a star. It comes in all sorts of different ways to serve it. I tend to usually be a purist indeed, as a soft serve, but sometimes their specials are so exciting that I cannot resist. I have never tasted any of them that I did not find awesome. Their steakburgers should not be left as an afterthought. These are not like other fast food burgers; the meat is actually very tasty and because there's not any "proprietary" seasonings on it I even order an extra one so that I can sit outside with my puppy and she can enjoy it. It is small enough to not be unhealthy for her and big enough to be a satisfying snack. Its fat content does not make her ill like the typical fast food burger would. I personally like the fries and find the sauces to be quite good. Prices are more than reasonable and they have hours that make them convenient whenever you're hungry or craving that custard fix. I am a Freddy's fan and wish they would open one closer to where I live in Miami.

    I had never heard of this establishment before, so when I drove past it for the first time a few…read moreweeks ago, I was intrigued. I went inside to order and eat. The resturant inside was very clean, and the employees working behind the counter were very nonchalant. I ended up ordering their grilled chicken sandwich combo with their famous skinny fries. My mom got the Freddy's Original double combo with a Turtle milkshake and onion rings. The sandwich portion was big. The chicken was very juicy and tasted alright. The fries, however, were not seasoned. I had to get a salt and pepper packet to season them. At that point, they were very good, tasty, and crispy! Overall, the meal was okay. It was nothing spectacular but also nothing terrible either. As for my mom, she wasn't very impressed with her hamburger. She said the portion size was good, but she would describe the hamburger itself as "lacy." She said it was okay, but since it took us 27 minutes to get here, she said Culver's was better in quality and closer. She was underwhelmed by the onion rings. She said it was more of the fried breading and barely any onion inside. However, she did enjoy her milkshake, but struggled to suck it up through the straw. It was enjoyable to try a new establishment, but it was just a mid experience for me.
