Food was good, served fast even with a full house. All staff were super nice and accommodating. Only thing is that slippery floor as you walk up the stairs. Could be very dangerous for anyone with limited mobility or the elderly.

Used to come here almost weekly when my family used to live in Laval; since then, we moved and my father passed. Came back today with my mom and the food is just as good today as 20 years ago. We also had wonderfully excellent service by Gregory - he is one of the most attentive and sweet servers I’ve ever had and he helped make mine and my mom’s experience truly lovely. Thank you to everyone at Marathon for being a consistently excellent place to enjoy delicious food! ☺️🙏 03/05/2026 edit: came back again today and had above and beyond excellent service from Savannah. Greg also kindly came around to our table to say hi! 😊 The food, the service and atmosphere (with the hockey game playing in the background- Habs won!) is outstanding! Can’t rave enough about this restaurant 🥰🙏 Thank you Marathon for consistently excellent experiences!!!

Take out, I ordered calamari with rice. Rice was going bad, because they're keeping days old rice and serving it to customers. When I called to ask for another plate, they told me it's either 10$ credit for next time I order or nothing. I will not order from this place ever. Be cautious with your take out orders.

Hi John, we’re sorry to hear about your experience. Please be assured that we never serve old rice, everything is prepared fresh daily. We offered a $10 credit to fairly compensate but we cannot credit a full meal for a half serving portion of rice. Please call 450-681-7385 so we can discuss this further. Thank you for your time.

Always loved Marathon but recently had and not only was the meat dry, the portion size seems to have gotten smaller as well. Shame because it has been very good in the past…but at these prices these days, not worth the money.

Waitress brought the plate and asked, "Do you want anything else, ketchup? Mayo? Tzatziki?" Yeah sure you can bring me some Tzatziki. And they end up charging you for the sauce. I think not letting the client know that there's an extra charge for the sauce is unethical. I didn't really want the sauce but since the waitress asked along with mayo and ketchup, you really think it is offered for free. I have no issues paying, but LET THE CLIENT KNOW THAT THIS IS AN EXTRA.

Hi Qais, we appreciate your feedback. It’s never our intention to make a customer feel misled but we understand that the way it was offered felt unclear. We’ll be addressing this with our floor staff to ensure it doesn't happen again. We hope to welcome you back soon for a better experience. 💙

I’ve been going to this restaurant for over 10 years, and it has never disappointed. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and authentic across all the locations I’ve visited. It’s one of those places you can always count on for a satisfying meal. The prices are also very reasonable—our family of five can enjoy a full meal without feeling like we’ve spent an entire paycheck, which is rare these days. The service is another highlight. The staff is always calm, friendly, and welcoming, which makes the overall experience even more enjoyable. A reliable go-to spot for great food, good value, and a relaxed dining experience. Highly recommended!

I usually dine in but this time I Uber eat the bread is so cold and hard that you can’t even bite to forget to put Taziki sauce. I’m disappointed.

Hi Maggie, thank you for the feedback! We're happy the food and service hit the mark. 😊 To offer the best experience, we make our tzatziki in-house from scratch using traditional methods. We work hard to keep our menu prices competitive without compromising on the quality of our ingredients. Hope to see you again soon!

Hi Avi, we are truly sorry to hear that your recent meal didn't match the Marathon standard you are used to. 😔 Did you mention these issues to your server or a manager while you were at the restaurant? If we had known right away that the seasoning was off or the salad portion wasn't right, management would have happily replaced your meal immediately to ensure you enjoyed a proper lunch. We value our loyal customers and hope you’ll give us another chance to show you the quality and freshness we are known for.

Easy to over eat, plates are big and food is delicious. The place feels a little tight with very little room between tables, but service is great.

Amazing greek restaurant but for some reason they changed the bread , would've paid extra to get the old bread instead of the basic pita one they now serve, its a shame because otherwise its 5 stars! It's more of a personal opinion than a negative feedback , but would love to see an option to have it back on the menu someday!

We like Marathon Souvlaki because it’s easy and convenient, and the food is good. It’s not the best Greek food you’ll ever try, but it’s decent for the price and the type of restaurant. We’re always happy with the food, and the portions are great for the price.
