Marley’s

Food was mediocre and, therefore, overpriced. Chicken was dry, greens were mushy and overcooked. Server was nice, but could tell he was inexperienced. I would not return and would not recommend.

Went here again over the summer! Love it! This was the first time we actually ate here though and the food was AMAZING! We will for sure go again. Normally we are there for the dancing which is also wonderful, but I highly recommend the food and lunch/​dinner!

Not bad for the Dells! If you don’t want cheese fries, cheese burgers, cheese pizza and more cheese for lunch or dinner… Marley’s is a great option for something different but delicious. As a half Jamaican, I must admit, this is not «real» Jamaican food per se but they have tasty, grilled food that is cooked with Carribean Flair. The setting is festive and easy going. We ordered take out so I can’t completely speak to the issue of service or what it is like to eat there. I imagine with larger groups present it could get loud. But afterall, it is the Dells.

Went here on a whim, being adventurous for dinner that night. Our group of three waited a bit for a host but she never showed up so we grabbed our own table. The servers just looked at us as they walked by which was understandable since we never checked with a host. Finally I went to the bar to order some drinks (reasonable price for premium beers) and sat back down. After drinking our beers at a reasonable pace, we had to flag a server to get some menus and order.
The server who was assigned to us had apologized for the host being absent and walking around giving us dirty looks. The server did everything he could to make us feel like customers at this point. He refilled our drinks and took our orders. The service from this guy was very very good.
The food wasn’t as good as thought. I ordered a jerk chicken sandwich meal for $ 10 I got a processed chicken breast smaller than a 5″ bun and fries. The chicken breast was smaller than one from Culver’s I had a few nights before… I cannot express how small and disgusted I was. Another ordered grouper which tasted awfully familiar to farmed perch… and not much like the grouper you receive from speciality restaurants. It was mediocre at best. Another order was coconut shrimp which was actually pretty good.
Summary if it wasn’t for our waiter service was not very good. The average food order was ok only because of the shrimp. If you go here you are basically paying for the atmosphere only, but if that’s your thing then try it. I can only tell you that I will not be returning here again.

Brought the family for lunch. We were seated immediately and had a very friendly waitress.
The menu didn’t have a large variety but we all found something to eat. The food that we chose was yummy.
Based on other reviews it sounds like you need to choose the time of day you come for the atmosphere you want.

We had a fantastic dinner! Our waitress, «Cassie», was a jewel! Friendly, sweet, very prompt and such a cute thing, inside and out!!!
This combination makes this visit fantastic!!!
By the way, the food was awesome too!

Oy vey. There is absolutely no reason to go to Marley’s unless 1) You are part of a large, color-​coordinated bachelorette party (in which case, I feel like going here is a Wisconsin Law) or 2) You want to get hammered, get hit on or get a migraine.
My group of friends decided to hit up Marley’s on Saturday night last week after eating at the Green Owl across the street. It was around 10pm and we weren’t quite ready to call it a night. We walked by and saw their outdoor patio and thought, «Nightcap?» We had NO idea what we were getting ourselves into.
Firstly, there was a $ 5 a cover just to get inside. Let me repeat: there was a cover. At The Dells. That alone should have been a red flag, but my group of young 30-​something friends journeyed on.
The inside was like one big cavernous, concrete warehouse party. The girls were hammered. The boys were perving. And the bathrooms were completely wet. It was pretty disgusting and yet also a fascinating subject for a Netflix documentary about this generation’s mating patterns. The women/​girls with fake IDs danced with reckless abandon in the center of the club, many toppling over in their Jersey Shore high heels. And the men all gathered around the perimeter, searching for wounded fawns. My friends and I stayed together, drank a couple Red Bull vodkas, got a quick bout of hearing damage and that’s when the fog machine started up. NEVER have I seen such an intense fog machine… it was like Hollywood War Movie Prop level Fog Machine. You couldn’t see the couple grinding up next to you, which was actually not the worst thing.
After a drink, we decided to just stumble back to our hotel room and drink there where we could freely shit talk the debauchery and ridiculousness we had all just experienced… including my poor friend who somehow (while dancing) had a guy stick his finger in her mouth. WHAT? HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN?
You’ve been warned.

Wow AVOID this place at ALL costs. They refuse to help out special need children. They refuse to accommodate special needs children. The manager/​owner is very rude, and confrontational. Food is gross, the restaurant is dirty and filthy and it smells like do do.

Hit up this place after our first choice for dinner had a ridiculous wait time. We could see open tables from the road so we figured why not, we’re hungry.
The outdoor seating area is nice although the PVC pipe chairs weren’t very comfortable. They had live music and sandpits and chalk for the kids to play around with and thank goodness because my girls were hangry and needed distracting.
Overall food wasn’t bad. We had a sampler app that was ok but I would for sure recommend the gator bites. I’m not a huge fan of jerk but I got the jerk rasta burger and it was actually better than expected. In the end it seemed a bit pricey though for an app, two sandwiches, two beers and two kids meals for 85 bucks.
If I could give 3 and a half stars I think I would. Good but short of great food, fun for kids (at least outside) and a nice patio area to grab a few drinks.

The food was overpriced and not very good. We sat and waited for a waiter to get just our drink order for over 15 mins… then it took a good while for us to even receive our drinks. After we received our food I asked the waiter for ketchup… after waiting for 10 minutes (was hoping to eat food while hot) I just grabbed ketchup from a nearby table after those guests had left. After all that I didn’t even finish my food because it wasn’t good and never received a refill the entire time I was there.
I did like the music entertainment outside. They don’t do much of a background on people though considering one of the singers had a ankle monitor on.

Found out this place has been having multiple problems on social media, With a special needs child, the manager is seen in the video trying to defend herself but I want to say this.
The Internet is an army, I hope you were prepared for the flood gates to open.
If you have issues with special needs children, I think you should be forced to work with them for a day.
Also when I come in to berate your presumably terrible food, can you make sure to rub your minimum wage hands all over it for me? That must be why your so bitter, also I’ll post the link to the video here for all to watch.

Horrible service! Go anywhere but to this restaurant! If you are looking for any special accommodations they will be unwilling to help and completely rude in the process.
Very disappointing!

We had EXCELLENT service!!!
Food was great! Drinks were awesome!
Waitstaff was the best!
I would go here again

We sat inside the restaurant because of the rainy day. Otherwise we would have sat outside on what looked to be a festive outdoor seating area.
The inside seating was dreary and depressing. Not what we expected from the namesake. There was live music but it was awkward.
Our food took an extremely long time and was cold when it arrived. The waited spoke with the manager who had the kitchen replace our order. The manager was flustered and not very pleasant. She seemed disinterested on overwhelmed with managing the place.
Our new food arrived. We are. It was bland boring food with umbrellas to try and make it fun. I have had jerk chicken and what I ate there was not jerk chicken. No flavor.
We left wanting more and will never go back.
If you are in for a vacation go some place else. Trust me. It sounds fun but it is not.

This was my second time eating at this establishment… The first time was a phenomenal experience, excellent food, great atmosphere, etc… I enjoyed it so much that I insisted my friends try it this year own vacation. The service was rushed and not very friendly and when I showed them my ‘check-​in offer’ they declined to honor it, and the server never even offered to let her manager see it. I think I’ll just do my best to recreate these dishes on my own at home and try a new restaurant next time.

First time here, and it wasn’t as good as its hyped out to be. The service was good and they waitress we had was very nice but the food… Ehhh its was Ok. I got the prime rib sandwhich and the jammin fries. It was Ok, nothing special though. My husband got the rum chicken, which he has to return because there was no flavor to it at all. He did end up getting the coconut shrimp which he said was amazing. Other then that, prolly wouldn’t go here again…

Food was excellent. Served us in a big group with no wait time. Prices were reasonable. Everyone in our 10+ group really enjoyed their food and drinks. 2 for 1 rum runners was a fantastic deal and the drinks were very good.
I would’ve given 4 stars, however, I’m not impressed with managements poor planning on their Unilocal coupon offer. They don’t accept the 15% off from the app, that they posted, claiming that since the coupon wasn’t «printed», it cannot be accepted. Does management even understand how Unilocal works? How am I supposed to print an offer from Unilocal that shows up on my cell phone telling me to simply «show coupon to owner or employee on screen». Not impressed with that at all.

Well we stopped at Marleys for dinner when we were staying at the Wilderness. Had the 2 4 1 drink special and it was watery. Very little cocanut. Dinner i had the combo jerk chicken and pulled pork. It was ok the chucken was dry without the jerk sauce not good. The pork was much better. I put some Jamaican ketchup on it and have to say much better its like a BBQ sause. My son had the pulled pork sandwich and realy liked it.

Had the jerk combo, it was delicious. The server Becky did a great job serving our party of 12. Great alternative to all the pizza places around here.

Today marked our second visit to Marley’s in as many years. We started out with their 2−4−1 drink special of the night which was some sort of Bahama Mama drink and was very tasty.
I couldn’t help but have the Jamaican Jerk combo with both pork and chicken and it was awesome. My wife had the grouper tacos. For both of the dishes the sauces stole the show. Their jerk sauce is superb and the ancho chili sauce on the tacos was amazing. Our friends that were with us had the jerk chicken salad which seemed very simple and light on the chicken and the surf and turf with some of the best crab legs they’d ever had. Portions were generous (other than the jerk chicken salad, which another reviewer also called out) and most flavorful.
The kids had a great time in the super– kid-​friendly atmosphere. So much so that we had to tell them the had to stop playing and eat their dinners.
We’ll definitely db back next time were in the Dells!
