Marathon Grill

Frommer's Review

Throughout Center City are six modern, comfortable Marathon Grills, each with a gigantic menu boasting an enormous selection of comfort foods. Think of them as high-maintenance diners. On the menu are seven versions of grilled chicken-breast sandwiches, filet mignon under $10, award-winning soups, and a "control freak" selection of choose-it-yourself omelets, sandwiches, and salads. The Marathons mostly service on-the-go business clientele. Lunch is by far the busiest meal, with lines for tables at the more popular outposts. Still, casual weekend brunches are available at the 16th and Sansom, 19th and Spruce (Rittenhouse Square), 13th and Chestnut, and 40th and Walnut (West Philly) locations. The Commerce Square, West Philly, and Rittenhouse Square locations also have liquor licenses. This last one, at 19th and Spruce, seats 60, and is perfect for a casual dinner with the kids, or for a post-theater meal on the way back to Rittenhouse Square. You can take out from any of these branches.
