What People Are Saying About Marathon On The Square

In Short
Dim lights and feigned modern-euro decor almost makes you forget that just a couple years ago, this place was Center City's greatest diner. The bustling bellowing from the cramped open kitchen behind you, however, quickly refreshes your memory. The marble topped tables, placed a bit too close for comfort, lining the dining room, would benefit greatly with a tablecloth. The menu features a bevy of imaginative concoctions--eclectic Continental creations with a slight Asian twist.

Each time I go to this place, I tend to purchase more than I came in for. Wonderfully fresh food and healthy as well, great service, a bit pricy!

Love the Marathon on the Square!!!!!!!!!!! The nicest, most friendly, professional staff ever!!! Its a treat to go out for breakfast at this joint! The oven roasted chicken salad sandwich is to die for. Everything is good, you will not be disappointed. The other Marathons do not compare especially 13th and Chestnut and 10th and Walnut, just terrible. Love you Marathon on the Square! Never change!

This is a restaurant and bar, owned by the same people who own the other Marathons around the City. This branch is slightly more upscale. Take out is available. There are movie nights held at this location. The food is good, particularly brunch.
