Marlin's Family Restaurant

I've been coming to Marlin's for years, and the food never disappoints. I usually come in around 11 a.m on Saturday's right after their morning rush. I like that you get to pick where you sit, but sometimes it can be slim pickings for a clean table. I understand the busy periods, but the waitresses, are usually all burnt out at that point. There is only one waitress clearing off tables when more people come in, and I feel like there should be more of a team effort. Other than that, the staff is always friendly, and are pretty good at making idle chit chat to make you feel comfortable. Everything on the menu is delicious. The prices are reasonable. My kid also loves it when we go here.

My wife and I drove across town today to get lunch. There was a fair amount of people in the restaurant, but not busy. I've worked in several kitchens over the last twenty years so I tend to understand slower cook times when a restaurant is busy. We got our drinks then waited 15 minutes before our order was taken. It took an hr and a half to get a omelette and burger... both were cold and my burger was not what I ordered. It took a additional 10 min. to get the bill. Our waitress asked how every thing was, I politely replied cold. Our bill was discounted 15% . So I'm expected to be happy with a 15% discount on a 20 dollar bill after wasting 2 hrs for a 2 cold meals. Marlins is supposed to be a hometown place and I used to love going there... no more! Thanks for the $2.50 discount. The least you could've done was comped one of the ice cold meals. Not a good way to keep customers.

Great diner style food at reasonable prices. The service from the staff was good as well.
