In the city's spirit of innovation he built an enormous grill in the center of his diner, stamped burgers into a special shape, sautéed the all steak patty to fit in a hot dog bun. Marcus Grill is known not only for their burgers, but the bona fide Polish platters that are made fresh daily. Mastering homemade stuffed cabbage, city chicken, potato pancakes & pierogies where the dough is made in house & by hand. We offer special homemade soups, sauces and gravies that are worth coming back for. The experience of a warm welcome and personal touch has always been vital within the Marcus tradition.

Our authentic BBQ starts in a live-wood smoker stoked with genuine hickory logs. Our pitmasters hand-rub the meats with a custom blend of spices and cook for hours to extract the natural flavors. We source the highest quality meats and trim them up like we’re in a competition and hand-rub them with the freshest seasonings available to create mouthwatering experiences!

This is a fav spot for dinner and happy hour for us. We love everything on the menu and the happy hour prices are terrific. The hospitality is always on point and Karen is the best…ask for her in Open Table, btw. Last night we had the eggplant lasagna and it might be our new go-to plate. The owner is happy to drop by your table to check on things and make your party feel welcome. The prices and location are ideal for your next date night or group gathering.
