Marathon Souvlaki delivers an authentic Greek culinary experience centered on traditional charcoal-grilled meats and classic Mediterranean flavors. The menu features signature souvlaki skewers, seasoned gyro platters, and generous portions of tender kalamari served with creamy tzatziki. Freshly prepared Greek salads topped with blocks of feta and kalamata olives provide a crisp contrast to the savory, protein-forward main courses. Warm pita bread complements every selection, ensuring a consistent and hearty profile across the extensive menu offerings. Patrons encounter a bustling atmosphere designed for efficiency and high-volume service common to traditional taverna-style eateries. The focus remains on delivering seasoned, fire-cooked staples that define the essence of Hellenic fast-casual dining through consistent preparation techniques and reliable ingredient sourcing for a wide variety of meat-based and vegetarian dishes.
Marathon Souvlaki is widely regarded as a staple for consistent, delicious Greek cuisine, often praised for its generous portion sizes, fresh ingredients, and authentic flavors at reasonable prices. While many patrons highlight the welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and long-standing history of excellent service, some visitors have noted challenges regarding noise levels, limited parking, and occasional inconsistencies in food quality or temperature. Most guests view the restaurant as a reliable go-to spot for family meals and casual dining, though some have expressed minor frustrations regarding additional charges for condiments or changes to traditional menu items. Despite varying opinions on specific dishes or recent updates, the overall sentiment reflects a strong appreciation for the value, hospitality, and classic appeal of the establishment.
We ordered from this restaurant today. The plates we got were soooo good. Generous portions, great prices. The quality of food was amazing. Enough tzatziki sauce on our pitas. & the salads, wow. Tomato slices big & juicy. Enough dressing. Delivery time was good too. Will definitely order from there again! Thank you for making delicious food!
5 stars still don't seem to make this place enough justice. I have been going occasionally to this restaurant for about 2 years now & it just never disappoints. It is a very fair price considering the amazing quality of food they offer, the service is always top notch & not just from the waiter! The hostesses, the buss boys, I'm not sure if the people on the side of the main door are cooks but even them! you can tell everyone puts love & effort into bringing a good experience for the customers! The waiter that has served me the most so far I unfortunately do not know his name but he is the sweetest, most attentive waiter ever!! But I really have nothing bad to say about any of the staff, the waiter with the tattoos is super nice as well, the waiter with the great hair I know you know who you are ahahah you are awesome as well!! I won't forget to mention the girls at the cash whenever I decide to go express, always a smile on their face & super sweet as well, anyway!! Top notch staff, top notch food would recommend 1000000%
Consistently delicious & quality food. The menu has a decent variety of protein choices (mainly chicken, beef, lamb/pork, & calamari). Fast & friendly service, busy atmosphere. Recommend reservations for large groups, the place fills up fast.

Went on a dinner date to this location during the holidays & although the booths are somewhat cramped, decor is well done services excellent & food quality is top-notch authentic Greek. Chicken souvlaki, taramasalata & tzatziki are awesome. Was not impressed with their fries, store bought frozen crinkle cut… which is why they only got 4 stars. Otherwise, incredible experience. Tarama was so good it didn't make it to the picture :-D
EDIT The prices have gone up from 12,75$ to 20$ for the souvlaki pita plate & the quality has downgraded. Tiny piece of feta (today it was 2mm thick) less vinaigrette sauce, less black olives, etc even the candy at the end. We used to come often but we cannot afford to come as often & we now share a plate & buy a second pita. .......... This is our comfort food. Delicious greek food, affordable (which is rare nowadays) & quick service. I always have the souvlaki (pork) plate with Marathon salad & half & half (rice/potatoes). If you prefer to have the greek salad, the tomatoes are so fresh & tasty, you won't be disappointed. The only downsides to the Laval location are the parking (very limited) & the A/C is too cold (we're always freezing).
I'm not sure how yo rate it, I didn't find anything special about this place. Price was high for the quality of food they served. Setting it nice for sure
I've said this a million times about this resto. . The price, quality, taste, & speed of the service is unmatched. with these crazy times in increase of prices everywhere, this place has barely gone up in price & the portions are still really good. Service with a smile, very outgoing & so speedy Always packed, expect to wait 20min , but the experience is worth it I recommend the loose meat gyro with he marathon salad Delicious!!
Great staff! Warm atmosphere! Quality food at an affordable price! A place for the whole family run by Family! I love the Gyro, kids love the chicken souvlaki & the loose gyro plate. Dips are Awesome! Cozy dining hall with friendly staff. You can order take-out or delivery as well.
