Keep in mind that it’s a low to mid priced family style restaurant and if you tailor your expectations accordingly you won’t be disappointed. Wide selection with most things being ok but no raving specialties. I carry out their polish food more often than their other selections. It’s more like a Greek or Arabic cook trying to cook Polish but it gets you by and you don’t feel like you’ve been screwed. Soups are generally ok or sub par and the salmon is probably the most disappointing. Generally tailored toward the older crowd or those liking more bland food. In its price range it’s one of the better ones actually. Decent quantity and reasonable service. Step above The Ocean Breeze that closed(popular restaurant of the same class). Try to eat low carb so they sub more veggies in place or rice or potato thank you. Can’t seem to ever add a second egg to my salads when I pay extra but that’s about as bad as it gets.

Came here on a sunday morning for breakfast and there was a line, but we didn’t wait too long, just be sure to give your name and # of people in your party to the person at the front. The prices are more expensive than other diners I’ve been to, and the food is alright but to me, not worth the price. The noise level can get VERY loud at times but it’s to be expected since the place can accommodate a lot of families. The only issue I have with this place is the fact that they cook their breakfast in butter. My mom has severe allergies to a lot of foods and when both my mom and I asked the waitress if they could cook our food in oil instead, she got mad and actually rolled her eyes at us and when we tried asking her another question she ignored us. I know this place was busy but once we were seated there was no line of people waiting anymore. As a customer, I’m paying for this(somewhat expensive) food and I should be accommodated; we didn’t make a ridiculously complicated request, we just asked for oil. We’ve asked that at multiple diners and have never had an issue. Luckily the waitresses mood improved when the food came and it tastes fine, so 3 stars for Marcus Grill.

Does nobody cook on Easter Sunday anymore? We went through the ringers trying to find any place to eat this passed blessed Sunday. We didn’t want any crazily priced buffet, and making any kind of reservation at the 11th hour, as we had elected to do, was not an option. We were able to come up with three places. Bostons, Twisted Rooster or Marcus Grill. Marcus Grill won out. It was a really good choice too. They said they didn’t take reservations, but we were asked about one upon coming in. It didn’t matter though, we were seated rather quickly and this place was bursting at the seams busy! We all ordered different options from the menu, breakfasts, lunches, salads, pasta, polish. We all like our choices. Service was a little slow, but honestly, they were so busy, and we weren’t in any kind of hurry so, I shouldn’t even mention it, but I’ll be thorough. Decently priced restuarant. It’s Polish, but I’ve never had it here, I like that you can get a decent dinner and a glass of wine to go with it. I’ve been here for a birthday party in the past, and the food then was really excellent as well. I’m a fan, yes I am!

Disappointed! Pre-formed Cisco Foods Hamburger Patties that tasted like dry soy burgers. These were what they call their Angus burgers(not the ones in the hot dog buns). They are said to be known for their burgers… they even offer them specially priced on Tuesday and Wednesday. Well, we complained and they shrugged it off. The first time we ate there it was great, the second time the burgers tasted fine too. It appears when they are on special they slip in the cheap soy meat filler meat that is pre-formed and hope that you will not notice. Bait & switch? We would gladly pay full price for real Angus burgers as represented in the menu but they gave us cheap Patties instead and admitted it via the cashier and the wait staff we asked The cashier & waitress both stated when asked that they were preformed provided by the food service Cisco… they tasted like Gordon Foods yuck burgers. We will NEVER go back or refer anyone after our experience. The wait staff was polite and honest… it was management that we spoke with later that beat around the bush and repeated over and over that the burgers were not frozen… its funny because we never mentioned the word“frozen”.

Food used to be good. But this time we couldnt even get to that point. Took 20 minutes to get some drinks and the bartender was rude. We won’t be back.

Just had dinner there, the Angus sirloin steak, was subpar to say the least, I took a bite of my wifes medirtrain salad, it was saltier than my daughter fries, my 3 rd time there, I keep on wanting to give this place another chance, since I live ½ mile away, but every time it disappoints. The waitress was great, the food taste low/cheap quality. I asked for blue cheese dressing, they wanted to charge be addition .75 cents. I asked what kind of vegetables they had, because i’m trying to watch my carbs, they said it include green bean and carrots, I asked if I could get broccoli instead of the mash, she said broccoli was additional dollar, so I asked another side of green beans and carrots-when my dinner came out it was only green bean.

I absolutely LOVE this place for breakfast, lunch and dinner! The lobster omelet is amazing and so is the dill pickle soup. The staff are always quick & friendly. It is a little pricey but great atmosphere, great food & great service comes at a cost.

Very friendly staff, they went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed every part of our meal. The best part was the dessert, we had a piece of the best cake I’ve ever had in my life, they call it «Snowflake Cake». It was SO good! My husband called to see if they would make an entire cake for my birthday. The chef that knows how to make it was traveling, she came home from the airport and made the cake that same night so the cake would be ready for my husband to pick up. They go above and beyond!

We use to eat here a lot… until the meat quality in the meatloaf went south… poor quality, cheap ground beef. To bad it was a great place.

Came in for breakfast. Didn’t want to wait 45 minutes at the Pantry. We were seated as soon as we walked in. I ordered the corned beef hash and eggs. It was very good. It is homemade and not overly salty like at other places. My wife got the spinach and feta omelette, which she enjoyed very much. The restaurant is clean and the service was very fast for a Sunday.

Our family really enjoys coming here… I even had my baby shower in the banquet room(although some things were pricier than we discussed). The food is consistent and good. Try the home made pierogies, they’re very good.

YUMYUMYUMYUMYUM!!! The chicken dumping soup is a cure for anything, and I LOVE there lobster grilled cheese. The burgers are wonderful(they are the old fashioned type) Give it a try, and you MUST get the chicken dumping soup!

Had soup and salad for lunch and it was very good. But the breakfast here is exceptional. Best in the area by far! Service is wonderful as well and I like the ambiance.

I am one of those that prefers to go to the smaller, non-chain type restaurant. But this place hasn’t really impressed me. I’ve gone twice so far. First time I tried the polish platter, was alright kind of bland. Took a few month, but stopped a second time for lunch and tried the Detroit burger their website talks about. It was greasy/juicy little thing not to bad, if you are not on a diet. Serves the second it time lacked big time, but it was lunch time and almost ever seat was full of seniors or people in scrubs. Might give it a third try someday.

Went here last weekend for dinner with friends. In the middle of taking our drink orders, the waitress turned to the booth behind us & directed her attention to them for what seemed to be forever. We seemed to have empty glasses quite a bit & the waitress really enjoyed reaching in front of me for everything… even to reach the far end of the table where my BFF sat. Yes, that’s right, I said table; meaning, she cold have just as easily walked to the other end. She did finally figure this out at the end, which was good, because I was contemplating biting her if she reached in front of me one more time! I ordered the polish platter & felt the cabbage roll & polish kielbasa were very good. The pierogie were not bad. The sauerkraut was a little bland and the«homemade» mashed potato lump was bland & lacking. The meal came w/soup or salad. For an up charge, I got French onion. It was strangely sweet… Not bad, but sweet & different… Not what you would expect in a French onion soup. I would go back & for sure give a second chance…

Good food for a very reasonable price. Service is too homey and disorganized and in need of a boost of professionalism. Cute place. Clean. Really give it 3.5 stars

I have been to this location three times, all for breakfast… so that is what my review is based-on. I have to admit, while somewhat jaded with my favorite breakfast joint just down the road… I was very pleasantly surprised with Marcus Grill! First, there is a private parking lot — so parking is a non-issue. I’ve never been there at night, but I imagine it’s well-lit. The interior is nice. When you first walk-in, it is a little confusing what you are supposed to do — where you are supposed to stand, etc… there isn’t a clear check-in/hostess station… also — the first thing you see is a Christmas tree and the door to the kitchen. Small price to pay though for the delicious food and great service. Everything was YUMMY!!! Lighting is great inside the main dining room. There is also a bar area which is a little darker — but it’s supposed to be! Nice place for a neighborhood gathering… it also looked like they have a separate area off the bar that you can rent-out for events… As for breakfast itself, my eggs and potatoes were PERFECT!!! Not a fan of their rye bread though — wish it wasn’t as fluffy as it is — looks more like white bread in disguise… but it is still awesome! Prices are good too. I dinged one star because I don’t like the coffee mugs, they have a strange shape which forces me to hold the mug in a way that feels unnatural to me. Also — there is(what appears to be) a year-round Christmas tree at the main entrance… looks like the ornaments are changed based on the season… I’m not a fan of this look… but I do know this is a popular way to decorate… Also dinging one star because a busboy came around to fill coffee during one breakfast outing… he was holding 2 pots of coffee… he used one pot to top off my husband’s mug, and while he was pouring into the mug he poured the other HOT pot on my husband. Most of it went down his leg and on the floor — but his outfit was ruined and we had to adjust plans to allow him time to go home and change his clothes.

Awesome food, great prices. That is all you need to know, but if you need to know more… Friendly staff, huge menu of choices, great specials, full bar, and they even do parties. I highly recommend!

When I went to Marcus Grill for the first time a year and a half ago, the food was good and the service wasn’t too bad either. Then, it went down hill from there. With each subsequent visit, the food got worse. On my last visit last year(late summer), I ordered their Stuffed Green Pepper. One of the world’s easiest dishes to make right? Apparently not at MG. It was the driest meat I’d ever had in a green pepper. It tasted like it had been left in an oven or under a heat lamp for hours. It didn’t just taste bad, it looked dried out on the top and the green pepper was all shriveled up. When the Manager(older woman) on duty came by and asked how things were, I told her what was wrong. She took it and said«If you don’t like this dish then you can order something else». Its as if I ruined her day because I didn’t tell here everything was fine or great like everyone else. It is so sad and unfortunate, this place had great potential, but obviously the owners stopped caring or paying attention to their food and service.
