Marlow’s Tavern

One of our favorite local spots. We come at least once per week. We love to sit on the patio where the kids can be a little louder.. Highly recommend the Tavern Salad and the hummus for the non meat eaters. The veggie burger is also delicious! My husband loves the fish tacos and the grit cakes are so yummy! Our kids love the mini burgers and Mac and cheese. Always great service too!

Stopped in this afternoon after getting groceries. Had never been here before bud had checked out the online menu.
I was greeted immediately and shown to a booth. Restaurant was basically empty at 4:30 pm. TV’s were in but the volume was very low. Pleasant atmosphere.
The server, Quezsa, was friendly and knew the menu inside out and backwards. She was prompt and professional.
I had a glass of wine to start. Ordered the Gorgonzola bacon burger. Damn, that was a badass burger! Cooked to perfection and beautifully juicy. Could have done with a bit more Gorgonzola though. The burger was huge as was the order of fries that came with it! It was obviously fresh off the grill.
I will definitely be back soon.

Always very good. I have eaten at a couple of their locations and I never fail to have a good experience. My personal favorite is the Black and Blue burger with the homemade chips. The asparagus fries and smoked trout dip are exceptional for appetizers.

Had a fun dinner here. Servers and staff were kind and on their game. Food and drinks were prompt and delicious. Since we were newbies to the place we got complimentary fresh made potato chips with blue cheese topping. Yummy welcome. Calamari and tempura apps were great too.

I love their burgers! The black and blue is my fav! Hook and Ladder my red wine to go to. Their pickle could use some juice ;). The staff is always on point. The restaurant is clean. I love to sit on the deck. It’s coved so you don’t have to worry about getting rained on. Did I mention dessert. Yummy! Always good food & great service. They have TV s so you can watch your game. Must try…

I’ve been a couple of times and each time I decide that I’m not going to be in a hurry to go back. For what you get, it’s a little pricey. Nothing about it is bad, though nothing I’ve had is really anything more than «good». It’s ok. Nothing offensive. The décor is, well, unoffensive. It’s just sort of there. If you’re in the area and hungry, stop in. It’ll be good. Just not all that memorable.

Met my girlfriend and her family for lunch yesterday. The food was good but nothing that really blows your socks off. It almost felt like we were eating in an upscale Chili’s. We did order several flatbread apps which were really good. I had the bacon & blue burger which again wasn’t anything special. There are really good options for burgers around Atlanta, and it is sad to say this one didn’t impress. The service, however, was fantastic and we felt like we were comfortably taking care of. Marlowes would be a good place to grab drinks and appetizers while watching your favorite game, but as for lunch and dinner, there is just a little more to be desired.

Excellent food and service. Chef walked around asking if all is ok.
Highly recommended!

I came here with some coworkers for lunch because many of us had never tried the food here. The atmosphere was dark and very tavern-​y, with music playing at an appropriate ambient level. There was a fairly large group of us, and except for another large-​ish group of people set up next to us, the restaurant wasn’t very happening. It’s sort of set off from the road, so it’s nothing you can easily find just by driving by, but a GPS can get you there easily enough.
The waiter took us to a table in the middle of the floors, and since our party was something like 9, we had to borrow a chair from another table. The people around me got varying food, and I got a burger – the Tavern Double Cheese Cheeseburger. It was neat that they let me get two kinds of cheese (cheddar for the flavor and provolone for the meltiness), and they also ask you how you like your burger. I think they have a limit to how they can cook it, because someone asked for medium rare, and they said they could do medium. I ended up getting the medium myself, because I’m not sure of the quality of their burgers.
PROS:
Service was good, but the restaurant was pretty empty, during a weekday at noon.
Double burger means you can get TWO types of cheese.
Ambiance was nice. Dark, with music that wasn’t overly loud.
CONS:
Burger was like $ 12, and just not that good. Farm Burger burgers are cheaper and MUCH better.
Fries were waaaay overly salted. I needed a ton of water (4 glasses!), just to keep from being parched.
Overcooked the medium burger that I ordered.
THE VERDICT:
The burger was okay. Cooked a little beyond medium, but there was really nothing remarkable or memorable about it other than the cheesiness, which had nothing to do with the restaurant and everything to do with the cheese. The food is okay, and definitely a bit overpriced for the quality you get. I don’t think it’s the kind of place I’m likely to visit on my own.

Went here last night with my boyfriend. We were first time guests.
First Impressions: Great atmosphere. We sat on the patio which was nicely lit and everyone around us was laughing and having a great time. Sort of modern and laid-​back with a homey feeling.
Customer Service: Our waitress was amazing! She recommended items on the menu, was super friendly and brought every thing out quickly. I definitely felt like she cared about our experience. We tipped her very generously! A manager came out and introduced himself, gave us J.T.‘s Kettle Chips on the house, and welcomed us to the restaurant. He was super friendly as well.
Food: Food was okay. I had the Crispy Chicken Stack. It was dry– the chicken, the risotto, everything. I didn’t try my boyfriend’s fish tacos but they gave him a lot of meat and the presentation was beautiful. The Kettle Chips were the highlight in the food category. I am not a huge fan of gorgonzola, but the flavor was not over powering. It was creamy, the tomatoes were sweet, chips were crunchy. YUM.
Overall: I would return here because the service was superb. The J.T.‘s Kettle Chips were to die for– will get those next time we go. I suggest you try it out, just don’t get the Crispy Chicken Stack! Upon leaving, our waitress informed us that they have a loyalty club. They add seasonal items and members get a free taste. I thought that was pretty cool as well. So 5 for Service, 5 for Atmosphere, 3 for Food, totaling 4.3 Overall.

Simple, clean, friendly service and good food. They seem to serve breakfast all day. Had a Rueben sandwich, diet soda.
Hidden comfort food restaurant in Dunwoody. Will be back. Good alternative to Panera that is close by.

Went there with my fiancé for the first time this past weekend. We really enjoyed the ambiance, the music and the food was delicious. Their fries are awesome!
Great experience all around, we’ll be back soon.

I had my birthday dinner here and they did an awesome job! I had a party of about 17 people and everyone got food and/​or drinks. Our server was awesome and did a great job keeping track of who got what so there was no confusion in the end how to do the bill. From past birthday dinners, I’ve learned that this is very valuable especially when people are coming and going. For drinks I got a couple of us a sangria pitcher. They add agave to the cups so it was even sweeter. It was really good. We tried some of the appetizers too like the nachos, trout dip, truffle fries, and ahi tuna poke. My cousin and I tried the ahi tuna poke at a different one and both were amazing! We also loved the chickpea fries. Amazinggggggg. Trout dip, I wasn’t a fan of and the truffle fries were okay too. The nachos were good though. For dinner, I kind of invented my own thing by getting a buffalo chicken sandwich on whole wheat bread. The result wasn’t that great. It didn’t have enough sauce or vegetables, but that’s my own fault for trying to change up something: P. The space was really awesome and there was enough room for all my friends who came. This place was great to have a birthday party.

Came here to celebrate Ravi’s Bday yay lol. I was the first one there so I was in charge of asking for a table for 20 cause they don’t reserve tables and they got it done rather quickly; one downside though apparently the staff doesn’t do anything for your bday womp. Anyway the staff was great and friendly and were always making sure we were taken care of. I started the dinner with not one but two Blueberry Buck cocktails and they were off the chain, I love sweet cocktails. For the actual entrée I went for the Grilled Center Cut Fillet medium well and it was delicious with steamed asparagus, potatoes, carrots and some other things. and it was really good that’s all that matters in the end. All the other food everybody else got looked delicious also. We were seated in the patio area which was nice and cozy, it was an enjoyable night all around.

I came here for a friend’s birthday dinner. The staff was very friendly and courteous. The appetizers we got, however, weren’t really good at all. A friend and I decided to share the Marlow’s Famous Hummus and the Asparagus Fries. The hummus plate comes with pita bread, celery sticks, and carrot sticks. I liked the fact that the celery sticks were peeled and the carrots were delicious. The hummus itself was too garlicky and very dry. On my second bite, I bit into a very large piece of garlic, almost like a whole clove. My friend commented that it lacked olive oil. The pita wasn’t warm at all and tasted a bit stale. The asparagus fries seemed interesting on the menu, but they lacked salt and flavor completely. It really just tasted like fried batter. Unfortunately, I did not try anything off their drinks menu. On the positive side, our waitress was very pleasant. Please note, they do not accept Discover cards as forms of payment. I might come back and give it a second chance and then update my review.

After giving this place one too many more chances I’ve given up.
The food just isn’t good. Had a couple of specials last time with my wife, and they were terrible. I got the «Crispy Chicken Stack,» which turned out to be a couple of bone dry chicken breasts on top of an awkward, almost sour creamy barley risotto. Nasty.
Wife got the snapper special, which she said was passable (translation: not good) but that the asparagus was actually bad.
Two stars for the friendly and courteous staff. The bartenders were quick (we ate at the bar), but they were out of the beer I wanted.
With growing options in the Dunwoody and Perimeter area, this Marlow’s may need to step up its food to keep up with the competition.

What a great find!
The service was perfect, food hot and delicious. The right mix of formal and casual, with linen napkins, but modern music.
Since it was my first time, the chef came out personally with a delicious house-​made potato chips appetizer with gorgonzola, bacon, cheese and fresh chives.
I had the tuna poki, and the French Dip sandwich for lunch, with great flavor and piping hot fries. I like having my food delivered when it’s ready, (by a food runner), not when the server has time to get to it.
Refills kept full, everyone was friendly and attentive.
Five Stars

Being from out of town, I wouldn’t recommend coming here when there are so many other places to try out. The service was lovely, and the beer selection solid, but to me the food was ordinary. I felt like I was at TGIFriday’s, and that’s not a good thing.

Marlows is a great neighborhood place to come in Dunwoody. We make it here three to four times a month at least. The staff is amazing, prompt, kind and attentive but not annoying. The food is great! From flat bread to burgers to their rib specials, you can’t go wrong. We’ve met one of the owners too, and when he speaks about the restaurant, you can tell it’s his passion. And he genuinely wanted to know our thoughts on the food and service each time we were here. He wanted us and everyone visiting to be happy and enjoying themselves. We love Marlows!

With so many locations in metro Atlanta, I was surprised I never ate at Marlow’s until now. I figured they would have pretty typical bar food, but I was pleasantly surprised to see it’s definitely a step up from that.
The ingredients are of a higher quality, and there are some unique items on the menu also. We tried the chicken BLT panini and the veggie burger, and both were very good. I recommend upgrading to the truffle parmesan fries.
They have about 8 beers on tap as well, including a few local options.
The only negative is that due to the position of the TVs, it’s not really a great place to watch a game. So it’s more of a pub and less of a sports bar. Also, due to this location in northern Dunwoody, the patrons are mainly families and seniors.
We will definitely be coming back though.
