Review from Mark G.

When I think of Marathon, I think "simple, done right." Marathon sees no need to be fancy, but they do the basics really well.
I NEVER expected that Marathon (this location and the one at the 40 and Sources) would be staples on my restaurant list. When I want no-nonsense Greek style food that I know will be prepared well, I don't have to think very long (and I'm not the most decisive person when it comes to choosing a restaurant.)
2 chicken sticks with half-and-half rice and fries and a side of greek salad with marathon dressing. Sounds really plain but tastes delicious. And my plate is cleaned - spotless - every time.
It's just good food. Consistently. Go now. You'll be glad you did. -

Marathon's is a expensive restaurant compared to casa grecque. The food is good but not worth the price. The restaurant was packed and I was elbow to elbow with the guy at the next table.
The service was slow, and the waiter gave me the wrong dish which was for the other table... -

Dont let the other clowns rating this fool you. This place is and will always be the best souvlaki restaurant in mtl. I have been eating there for 30 years since the original location in chomedey was a 10 table joint. Mind you lately i have found the portion sizes have shrunk ever so slightly but still the best value and quality in town .

Surprisingly nice place for a chain! Not a taste twister, but definitely decent drop-in location if you are hungry.
Friendly, quick and useful service. They even speak English and are not pissed if you do - a huge bonus around Montreal area.
The food was very good! Big portions, excellent quality. Not a high-end restaurant level with custom food, but something absolutely decent and eatable.
Overall, I would compare Marathon to a Red Lobster in its better days. Type of food is different, but you know what I mean. :-) -
Review from Mike S.
I've been eating here for 20 years now. And the biggest compliment that I can them is that the food is incredibly consistent. There's never a surprise. You get what you expect every single time. Best souvlaki in the montreal area. Don't let the amateurs tell you differently. You can take your Marvins, Village Grec, and Arahova and stick em where the sun don't shine because that's where they belong.

Fantastic value!
Portion sizes are quite generous. Food is pretty good as well. Decor is like a perkins/ applebees. Service is friendly. Not the best middle eastern restaurant I've visited but I can understand why it may be popular. Its very "easy". Easily located, easy parking, easy menu, easy atmosphere (very kid and family friendly), and easy on the wallet.
What I really liked about this place was that I was given the option of "a little bit of both" instead of only rice or only fries as my side. -

Review from John A.
Marathon Souvlaki seems to be a locally owned souvlaki restaurant with only a few locations. This Marathon is located in a shopping center near the Montreal hippodrome, among a Baton Rouge, Roots and Stitches...off of Decarie.
The food is a good value. They have options of chicken or pork souvlaki, gyros, doner meat, etc. You can get one or two of each, or a combination plate with your choice of two items from a series of selections. Along with your meat choice, you have the option of rice or fries and a greek or marathon salad. They also have merguez sausages and calamari available. The portions are large, and the average price is $15 per person. Along with your meal, you will get free garlic bread.
Every time we go, the service is nice (for Montreal). My only complaint is that they don't come around enough to offer refills on water.
If you are in the area and hungry, or if you are looking for a good souvlaki restaurant, you need to go here, it's really good! -

Marathon's is a great family restaurant. The food and portion sizes are satisfying. The staff is pleasant. The food is great. It's a quick bite, as well as a nice sit down. I recommended any of the franchises. Try the Chicken or pork Souvlaki !

I looooooooove Marathon. They have the yummiest souvlaki. I love the vegetarian pita with the round fries and the salad. The salad has the most amazing dressing. There are a few locations and they are all great. The one in Laval is the first one I ever went to and I absolutely loved it. There are literally days where I crave marathon and have to have it or I will be grumpy. Love this place!
