Marlin's Family Restaurant

Ordered taco salad and cup of chili. Salad had old lettuce mixed in. Good flavor overall. Chili was pretty good, I personally prefer a tad more spicy. Service was great, attentive and friendly. Music was wonderful.

Had this turkey Parmesan melt. It was really good and juicy. The waitress was nice and in a hurry

I usually love Marlin's restaurants but not this one. I showed up at 9pm very hungry after a long day of driving. I passed several truckstops with restaurants on the way here, but I kept on going because I was looking forward to Marlin's. The sign clearly says open until 10pm, but the doors were locked up tight at 9pm. Thanks for nothing Marlin's. Go ahead and hold your breath until I come back.

Stopped in after a transfer for a much needed breakfast. Had a choice to go with menu or buffet, chose buffet as we were in a hurry to return to home area. Buffet very good. As the saying goes if you leave hungry after this buffet it's your own fault. Nice to see large cups for coffee. Waitress very helpful, very nice. Partner was surprised by the pop that she got very unique and large like the jar idea. Overall very pleasant experience.

The nice thing was it was not too busy on a Sunday at noon. We were promptly seated in a requested booth. We were provided menus and our requested drinks. Although I had a chance to review the menu which had a couple of desirable options all three in our party elected to have the breakfast buffet. It was reasonably priced but I thought the options were limited and it was only ok quality. I did appreciate the salad bar option. Service was good and the place was clean and inviting. I love the ease of access from 12th or I-29. Parking was easy. I probably would go back and try options off the menu.

Great selection of American food with good portions. Enjoyed my noon-time breakfast.

Food was absolutely delicious, chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy and salad... excellent. Server was very nice and attentive, checked on me multiple times. I really like the separate areas for truckers and non truckers, it's nice to be able to eat and enjoy some quiet time, away from the rude and discourteous people who drive cars and act like fools on the road. Will definitely be back on future trips.

Friendly staff very good food. They are a little slow though. We've eaten here several times and it seems you have to wait to get your menu, to get a drink, to get your meal etc. If your looking for quick service go to McDonald's. I can wait for a good hot meal here! Speed up the service and you'll get a 5* rating from me! Thank you!

It took 30 minutes for the waitress to take our order. After taking our order we waited for over an hour to get served. It wasn't until we told our waitress that we were leaving if we didn't get our food soon. She said she would check on our order and came out immediately with our food, which was all cold. Our waitress was more interested in serving the trucker section and totally ignored the rest of her section. I don't plan on ever going back to that kind of service

I went for the buffet kinda late in the lunch hour. They still had fresh selections and the food didn't taste like it had been there too long. Their fried chicken is the best I've had in town. I respect the idea behind the mason jar cups they've been doing it far longer than it ever became a trend but I have small hands, and these are the full sized jars with no handles. Trying to handle a sweating glass without a good grip is tenuous at best.
