Saturday mid day so not busy as downtown Middletown is pretty quiet but glad we stopped in! Excellent burgers/fries and Rachel was VERY pleasant and did it all! Marvin Burger and Mushroom Burger for Val and I. We travel around for local businesses and to try different burgers and this one was delicious. Heard they are opening one in Lebanon and will go there as it's closer to home for us and will take friends. Support local businesses!!! read more

Let's start with we were directed so sit for dine in and took so we took a menu with us. She said she would come to our table and take our order. After 15 minutes she decided to clear a table in a non busy restaurant. Feeling ignored we got up and left. The appearance of the restaurant wasn't the best inside and neither were a few or the people waiting on to go orders. There was a strong smell of grease but probably because they have wings so I can't discount this place for smell. We tried to go to a local place to give business but they lost us by ignoring us. We decided on a different local place which I will review next time read more

We decided to give them a try on a weekend day, they were very busy with orders. The staff seemed friendly and helpful. I didn't catch anyone's name but they kept me updated on my order. We ordered the Philly cheesesteak sandwich with fries and an order of cheesesteak eggrolls. The food was good and hot. Prices seemed reasonable. The interior is nice, hopefully they can put their own vibe in there read more

Stopped in to get a quick bite to go. I was given a menu & asked the server if the appetizers were frozen or homemade. He said they were homemade but finally admitted the cheese sticks were frozen. I decided to order the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls & Chicken teriyaki egg rolls. I was told they were out of eggrolls. Bummer! I finally decided on the Chicken quesadillas. It came with fries & a soft drink. The fries were hot & tasty. The quesadilla was overly greasy. I put it on a napkin to eat it & the grease saturated the napkin. Yikes! It tasted good though. I would consider giving this place another try. read more

The husband thought the mild wings were really good, the grippo sauce wings I had were were really really good! The Marvinade (strawberry lemonade) is a nice sweet treat with real strawberries. The fries were hot and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Will definitely come back! read more

Went in today for the first time for a pick up order. The women sitting at the cash out area was so friendly. She also was not satisfied with the way our order was and went back to correct it without me even having to say anything upon her doing a bag check. cheese sticks are amazing as well. We will be going back! read more

The food was fresh and amazing the service was excellent smiles when you walk in the restaurant

Absolutely horrible. Few said it would take 15min. Walked out after waiting 45min. Don't even bother coming here. Trust me. And the location for this business isn't even the right location. Good luck trying to contact them on the phone. Did I also mention that there's only 1 person waiting read more

Wings had no meat on them, burger and bun was burnt and tenders tasted like burnt oil. waste of money.

My boyfriend and I order food from Starvin Marvin's inside the bar using a touch kiosk. He ordered a two cheeseburger combo meal with an up charge for chicken Alfredo specialty fries. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak combo meal with an up charge for salmon fries. I guess they were out of Alfredo and instead of contacting me about the issue they threw chili on the fries and Parmesan cheese. Also, my boyfriend received half a patty on one of his burgers and didn't get any of the toppings he requested. The kiosk takes your number and says they will text you once your order is ready. Never got a text or call to ask if it's ok to sub out or about the food being ready. My philly cheesesteak tasted like an old grill and my salmon fries weren't the best either. The food looked good online. The "cook" was also outside in basketball shorts with his underwear showing smoking and came right in and started cooking. I went back in and got my $10 up charge back for the fries but they don't ever have to worry about me spending any money with them anymore. Whoever runs their IG seen my post but instead posted about her daughter on National Daughter daughters day. Outside of the owner being a homewrecker I can see why it didn't do good in Cincinnati. read more

Food was tasty and plentiful. The service was fast and personable. Our waiter was friendly, entertaining & helpful. Good choice!

Our server YA was great and had wonderful demeanor. And made the environment every nice over all great service and great food

If you order from here.... Plan for extreme wait times and less than pleasant service. This is the second chance I've given the place after a horrible experience when they first opened at their original location... they didn't even start my order until I arrived to the restaurant (30 minutes after I ordered) and it took another 30 minutes of me waiting inside to get it. For TWO items. Wasn't even busy in there. On top of that... kitchen staff using his gloved hands to scratch his head, mess with headphones etc and then returning to touching food. Service at the counter was practically non existent. I finally get my food after an hour and one of the only TWO items isn't even correct??? At this point I don't think I'll return. read more

Our group can be a bit extra and he played right along like we'd been friends for years! If you're coming - GET THE ICE CREAM NACHOS!! You can thank me later! read more

Good reviews are MISLEADING. Overpriced for bad food. The French fries were the only redeeming part but they were way too salty. All of their stuff is frozen and sloppily thrown together and to add insult to injury it's too expensive and it tastes bad. The spices are awful, slightly burnt, cold, etc. Two people working the kitchen with no line and they still couldn't get some things in our order right. You're better off going to McDonald's read more

Literally the best mushroom and Swiss burger I've ever had. Staff was great, chef was super nice. We were at the Central Avenue location. Will definitely go again! read more

Overall the food was good and the ice cream sundaes were great. Only setback is seating. there is limited outside seating and the tables were covered with flies. The food also does not look like the pictures on the website. Still good just a completely different style of lettuce on the Starvin Marvin Burger. It also is inexpensive compared to other places nowadays. Cost $26 for two burgers, fries, and ice cream sundaes. Service was alright nothing special but nothing negative. I would recommend to anyone who wants a good meal and ice cream for cheaper than most places. read more

Placed an online order at 5:10 PM on a Friday night. Arrived at location at 5:35 as instructed by the website I ordered from (their website) as soon as I walked in the manager calls out my name and says they're out of the Philly steak for the egg rolls and asked if chicken would be okay, sure thing I get stuff happens but disappointing to be out of something at 5 pm on a Friday, oh how I wish this is where the story ended. I waited for an hour and 50 minutes before my food was finally starting to come out of the kitchen, the entire time I waited the cook in the kitchen was screaming out and complaining about how she couldn't do this and was visibly fed up but continued hollering out, she berated the server who was obviously new and confused to the point the server ended up walking out and quitting after a final outburst from the cook. So the food finally came out and the manager walks up to me hands me the bag and tells me he is going to go start on the shake that was on my order, he then proceeded to go take the order of 3 different tables while I stood in the doorway waiting. The kicker is when I finally got home to eat they had shorted me one of my $11 egg rolls, at which point I just gave up hence it was 7:10 pm and I had already spent 2 hours all in all trying to get my food. I get being busy but how can you expect to operate a restaurant and maintain a customer base with this kind of service, and even if I had wanted to call and complain about my missing food it isn't possible because the "business" phone is someone's cell phone who never answers... frustrated is an understatement. read more
