Marathon Souvlaki DDO is widely regarded as a staple for delicious Greek cuisine in the West Island, consistently praised for its generous portion sizes, fresh ingredients, and excellent value. Many patrons highlight the chicken souvlaki, lamb chops, and signature salad as standout menu items, noting that the restaurant provides a reliable and welcoming atmosphere for families and friends. While the majority of guests report exceptional service, noting that specific staff members go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience, some visitors have expressed concerns regarding occasional service inconsistencies, noise levels during busy hours, and recent changes to certain recipes like the salad dressing and bread. Despite some mixed feedback on minor adjustments to the menu and occasional peak-hour congestion, the overall sentiment remains highly positive, with many loyal customers returning for years due to the restaurant's quality, efficiency, and comfort-food appeal.
We visited on Sunday evening, & the restaurant was relatively quiet. The food was good than we expected. However, although the restaurant was not full, the male server appeared disengaged. It took a very long time just to get water. Unfortunately, service seems to be an issue in many places, as staff often appear enthusiastic only when it comes time to receive tips.
Rice is mid city, get the potatoes instead. Cheesecake is whatever, wouldn't order it again, just fine. Chicken souvlaki is good, not dry & good grill flavour. Good portion of Greek salad. Good service from the staff 👍

For a sit down restaurant, nothing beats Marathon's. It's almost impossible to finish your plate & the prices are very reasonable. There is a reason it's always busy. Great food, great prices & very fast service.
(Read below addendum) Shocked how quickly this place went downhill. Food was obviously smaller portions & tasted completely different. Ordered by phone ahead & people were very rude. Shocking! They were good for many years. Until now.
Addendum: well we tried it again & it's as great as expected. Love the food! Guessing the issue was due somehow that our previous order was done during the holidays.
Thank you Marathon for coming back & giving us your great food!
We celebrated my brother's birthday at Marathon Restaurant & had a fantastic experience. The food was good, we ordered the calamari, chicken brochette, & souvlaki, all of which were fresh & full of flavour. What really stood out, though, was the service. Peter, our server, was exceptional: attentive, friendly, & made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening.
Overall, a great place for a special occasion or a relaxed night out. We'll definitely be back.
Food was good overall. This isn't a high-end or fancy place, but it's a solid casual restaurant with lots of choices on the menu. Portions were big, which was a nice bonus. Our waiter was very nice, attentive without hovering, & we never felt rushed to leave. Overall, a relaxed & enjoyable dining experience.
We eat there all the time! Delicious food & quick service & affordable too! We always get the chicken brochette plate & add a souvlaki. The calamari is delicious. I have no pictures because I start eating the moment the food gets infront of me. Shout out to Thomas, he was an excellent server & so good at his job. Thomas noticed when I was picking at my tooth & got me a tooth pick to remove the food stuck!!!!!! Thank YOU!
