Neighbourhood gem

Good for groups

Marathon has served the neighborhoods of Philadelphia for over 25 years as a family-run restaurant group. We serve well-made American classics, and strive to source the freshest food locally available to us, including from our own Marathon Farm in Brewerytown, Philadelphia. Our favorite farm to table items include our grass-fed Cheesesteak, free-range Turkey Plate, and fluffy Omelettes made with cage-free eggs.

We love food, but more importantly we create the food that people love to eat. We set out each day to provide our guests with a complete feel-good dining experience in a casual setting. We offer warm and personal hospitality rooted in a real concern for our guests' experience and we believe that everyone should be able to afford delicious food. We bring people together through food, personal connections and artistic spaces.

For religious reasons, my husband ordered a turkey sandwich without bacon. However, when the sandwich arrived, it had bacon. We explained to our server that we wanted a new sandwich to be made. Unfortunately, when the server took the sandwich back we saw the bacon removed by another staffer and the same sandwich was then served to my husband. This was the first time we ate here, and the last. If they did that to us I am sure they do that to other customers!

We have been many times. Food is excellent, service is great, atmosphere is comfortable. The ONLY issue I have with this location is that the cooking exhaust system does not seem to be working fully. The system isn’t running with full negative pressure and our clothes and hair smell like the restaurant when we leave. It should be rebalanced to fix the problem. Please! Thank you!
