Food is always consistent & service is always quick & friendly. Honestly some of the best calamari I've had - even though it's a bit pricey the portion is very generous. Marathon salad is a must have

Really a nice family oriented Greek Resto. Food is great. So is the service. Lots of available parking. We'll located. John's is the owner & general manager & is a warm & welcoming gentleman.
Nous avons beaucoup aimé les plats qui étaient frais & surtout pas gras. La sauce était bonne & le service rapide. La salle est vite bruyante car elle est grande.
Attribution d'une table rapidement lors de notre arrivée. Bémol le plat désiré était en rupture de stock pour la soirée quantité épuisé de poulet. Nous avons optez pour le porc ,très tendre. Portion généreuse. Décoration très simple l'endroit est propre le personnel courtois. Très achalandé.
I had the chicken gyro plate which was huge & delicious, filled up on apps which is easy to do because they're equally yummy & reasonably priced while being large in serving size.
Un des rares restos post-COVID offrant des repas succulents à prix économiques! Un souvlaki pita: 8,50$. Viande grillée sur charbon de bois, pain frais & sauce tzatziki maison.
I have been eating at this restaurant for over 20 years, at least once a month, it is my favorite Greek food restaurant. Food is amazing, service I good. Highly recommend!
Always fresh & delicious! Marathon Souvlaki never disappoints. The food is fresh, portions are generous, & the flavors are authentic. Service is quick & friendly too. One of my go-to spots!
