First time decided to check a new place. Ordered " Friday special" -Cod fish with cole claw and fried pickles. Pickles were under cooked with tooooo much flour . Cod nor seasoning at ALL!!!! Like eating raw soft potato. Cole slaw did not have ANY seasoning ..... I can make all that meal MUCH better! Will not be back!!!
Review Source:My boyfriend and I went there for dinner after hearing good reviews. Â They place had a good atmosphere, there were a lot of order people there but it still had a young feel for it. Â Our waitress was amazing! Â We had the fried pickles which were so good, they fried the whole pickle! Â I had they guacamole burger, which was nothing too special, it had a lot of avocado and not that much flavor otherwise. Â The meat on the burger was amazing though. Â My boyfriend got the Jalapeno Burger, it was interesting not a spicy as you might think, but really good.
Review Source:Won't be returning.
Came for breakfast because the website said they had waffles.
Our server said they discontinued waffles because they were too popular and couldn't keep up with the demand.
... Wow.
Additionally, I wonder what happened in that parking lot for them to need to put 'Don't park here unless you are a Marley's customer' signs on every spot? Â It doesn't appear to be a terribly busy lot.
Wow..New to the area and have found my home away from home!
Menu has  something for everyone. Service is attentive and staff is friendly.  Must have:  the homemade peach cornbread!  Everything is fresh and cooked to perfection. Favorite dishes so far are the pork tenderlion and the chicken parmesan.
Had lunch here for the first time today. Staff was terrific! Â We were greeted warmly at the door and our waitress, Judy was friendly, helpful and very professional. Â The food was excellent. I had the pulled pork sandwich and sweet potato fries and my friend had the vegetable beef soup. Â Everything was delicious. Â I am so happy to know about the restaurant - we will be coming back often!!!!
Review Source:Have eaten here several times and always enjoyed the experience. Â For some unknown reason, haven't been there in awhil, so we decided to go for dinner last night. Â Place was packed (mostly with snowbirds - shorts and tee-shirts in 50 degree weather). Â Food was great as always (one eggplant dinner and one liver & onions dinner) but the service was POOR. Â Waiter took our order and we never saw him (or anyone else) again until he brought the check. Â Large party a few tables away so maybe that was the reason. Â Won't stop use from going back. Â Much better here then the chain places.
Review Source:Came back for dinner! We ordered the sloppy joe's appetizers! WOW! This was good, Â this brought back some memories of how mom made them! On a very soft but toasted roll, Â they pile on this great mixture of ground beef and spicy tomato based sauce! I ordered their Pork tenderloin with a caramelized base sauce! This was probably on of my favorite dishes I have every had! Until I took a bite off my wife's steak!! Her steak just melted in my mouth! Not going to lie here! But Marley;s is beginning to be our favorite place to eat now!!
Review Source:I've been there only a few times. I was impressed with service right away, greeted very warmly. Prices are decent. I went for lunch both times and loved the food! I had the reuben and it was the best I've ever had. I'm definitely returning and letting everyone I know in the area to give the place a try.
Review Source:Been here many times, as others have stated one of the few non-chains in Surprise.
 Can really only point out a couple things from all the times we have been here.  The servers are outstanding for the most part.  We did have a male waiter once who seemed to be new and was not so great but the ladies who have been there since they opened up are all fantastic.
The problem here in my opinion is the food.  It has really started to slide and is at the point now where I really prefer to go on weekends for breakfast because I cannot find  anything on the dinner menu that I want.  The burgers are ok, but I do not always want that as a dinner entree.  When you get into the steaks and such, it is just plain not good.  Breakfast continues to be pretty good.
Overall if the food quality doesn't improve I doubt they will make it long, which is too bad because it is a nice atmosphere, and a lot of good people there.
We tried Marley's last weekend for breakfast. Â It is a three meal restaurant & they do have a bar...it doesn't look like your typical breakfast place & most people might miss it. Â Our server was extremely friendly & attentive, and the food was very good. Â Husband & picky-eater daughter were both happy with their generously portioned breakfast burritos, son had a combo breakfast & I had French toast. Â Basic breakfast fare. Â Worth a try vs the chain breakfast places, as you won't have the long weekend wait times. Â I prefer to support local businesses when I can.
Review Source:A couple friends and I went here for lunch yesterday. We were not impressed. The lunch menu was severely limited! If you don't want a burger, sandwich, or salad you're out of luck because that's all they have for lunch. The only highlight was our server Brian who was polite, energetic, and a real pleasure to be served by. So we decided to tough it out, that is, until our appetizer arrived. We order the loaded nachos and it hardly had any cheese on them at all! They're called nachos after all and even in their simplest form they're at least "chips covered in cheese". And besides a small two ounce side of sour cream there was nothing to dip them in, and the guacamole on top was from a can no doubt; just an all around disappointment. We may come back for dinner just to see if they have more than three types of selections for food on that menu. We were going to stick around for a beer but there were three of us and someone was already at the bar we didn't want to be cramped. Gives the term 'mini-bar' a whole new meaning.
Review Source:Marley's is everything a person is looking for in a casual dining experience. The staff is amazingly upbeat and nice. They are always quick to greet you with a smile. The ambiance is very inviting, there are comfortable booths with high backs for privacy. There are a few flat screens around the perimeter of the restaurant to watch the game on. The is also a small separate bar area that seats about 10 people.
The menu is the staple of this dining experience! although the menu is somewhat condensed, the diversity is absolutely superb. there is a hint of southern soul food, all american dishes, some italian influence and by far some of the best desserts i have ever had.
The staff, though small, is like a family. every time my girlfriend and I go in everyone from the servers to the owners approach us to welcome us and converse with us. And the prices!!!! every time we go in we  have an appetizer, entrees a couple of drinks and sometimes dessert and we have never spent over $40 there.
As much as i would love to suggest a dish to try, I cant pin point just one. i can honestly tell you i have not had a single dish here that was even just ok. everything is on point.
This place is a perfect example of a well executed dining establishment and if you are looking for a place to dine in Surprise, you would be doing a disservice to yourself by not trying this place
I have visited here twice and both times I had the chicken parmesan. Â This place serves the best chicken parmesan that I have ever eaten. Â You can tell they use fresh ingredients. My husband had the Salmon, veggies, and baked potato. Â He cleaned his plate in less than five minutes. Â My sister had the Jambalaya which she loved. Â The kids that were with us had spaghetti and chicken fingers and they were so happy. Â My nephew had a burger that the bread was dipped in egg I believe and cooked. He loved the burger. Â The staff is very friendly. I would not hesitate to visit here again. Â Marley's is a very good place to eat.
Review Source:I recently went here with 7 coworkers for lunch. We were all pleasantly surprised with the variety of sandwiches and salads. The cookie is a nice bonus too! I had the turkey avocado sandwich with the Greek salad for $7. The side salad was a good size and I also liked how the dressing was automatically in a separate cup. Fresh ingredients delivered fast with attentive service. Love that it's not a chain. We will all be back and will probably make it a regular destination.
Review Source:I met a friend for a quick drink here, but decided not to order one once I saw the bar. Â I think the restaurant actually looks really nice and the drink prices are actually good, but the bar is so small. Â Does not compel me to stay and hang out with friends. Â I did order the flat bread, but I didn't love it. Â The service was great though.
Review Source:Marley's is a nice change from all the chain restaurants in Surprise. Dinner menu was diverse without having too many items to choose from. Definitely something for everyone. Service was very good from both the host and hostess as well as our waiter. Prices are very reasonable!! Dinner for 2, including wine, was under $30. Peach cornbread was delicious!! My Cobb Salad was very good... All fresh ingredients and a generous portion. Hubby had Chicken Parm. That too was delicious but the sauce was a little less 'traditional' in that it contained mushrooms, celery, green bell peppers, sausage and other seasonings. Like I said, it was delicious, just not the usual marinara some might expect. Â
Looking forward to going back to try lunch and/or Sunday Brunch.
GENERIC BUT.. Locally owned and operated. I want them to be sucessful but all I could think of was GENERIC, VANILLA, Seen it before, below average quality. Being locally owned I want it to be successful...just not sure the owners really understand the whole idea. Â Sparse, and average at best. Marleys needs to find a niche quickly. Also 8 pm closing hour during the week......way too early for his type of business. 10 pm would be fine.
Review Source:Service from our waiter was excellent...
Food was pretty good
The Hostess that worked on March 19, 2012 was the rudest I have run into in a very long time.
My co-worker and I had our lunch, she had ordered a Bloody Mary (which she had drank half of it) and we were enjoying ourselves chatting after our lunch. We had been there about an hour and the Hostess came to our table and ask us to leave!!! Yes she ask us to leave because she had people waiting! She didn't come and ask us or try to explain to us that we would really be helping her if we would leave, she just ask us to leave flat and dry, we were appalled.
Wow, in 60+ years that has never happen to either one of us. That Hostess needs to go to polishing school and learn some manners before Marley's looses all their costumers!
Thank you for listening,
P. Munn
I live close by and tried this place for the first time.
My wife and I had lunch there today and were surprised it was a locally owned and not a chain. Service was outstanding with 3 people serving, plus a cashier and a bartender. Both the lunch an ddinner menus were very professional and had many new and unique items to try. Â The prices were better than other places we have tried and ribs were $19.99 wich is what you get a full rack for.
Lunch Special was $6.99 half of a large sandwich and a bowl of soup (4 to select from) Comes with chips, fries and a homemade cookie similiar to Paridise Bakery.
All the booths were filled with happy faces and we sat at a table. They had nice outside sitting  as an overflow.
Food was hot and quickly arrived. Glasses were filled without asking and service was outstanding.
Not sure about Larry A. Â and his cold bread with his lunch. Maybe he's just the type to complain about everything publically and start an argument. Gee....
What did you expect Larry a free mean? LOL
On Fridays they have fish and chips (Cod) and clam chowder as the special.
I think it was outstanding and plan to come back again.
Why don't you stop by and decide for yourself
We tried this place out for lunch on a weekday. We were really hoping that this place would be good, but it was'nt. Nothing really new or different on the menu, just the same ol' appetizers and sandwiches you would find at any other bar. Don't know how the dinner is, but we were really disappointed with our lunch
Review Source:I have taken my wife there for Sunday brunch and other family members another Sunday, also for brunch. I enjoyed the omelette  bar very much, the chef is a friendly man always smiling even when it's busy. As usual, Sean was tremendous, as well as John, the other server. When John was busy, Sean helps out and vice versa even if it's not their table. Really great people there. I also enjoyed the thin slices of sausage patties with biscuit and gravy. The price is excellent for $9.99.
Review Source:First time visit for dinner. Four people in our party. Nice place. Limited menu. Food very fairly priced. Three of us had the salmon which was moist and tasty. One had a hamburger, which he said was very good, and had similar praise for the sweet potato fries as well.
Other friends we saw at another table, said the liver and onions were delicious...and they are hard people to please.
Service was excellent. More iced tea delivered even before a glass was empty. Owners help deliver the food, and all servers seemed to be doing a very effective job.
The other thing I liked is that the server told us what the special of the evening was, instead of assuming that we saw it on the board, on our way in. Many restaurant servers "assume" that you know what the specials are, and don't bother telling you.
The only reason I didn't rate this 5 stars was because we all asked that the garlic butter sauce be left off of the salmon. Two of the 3 dishes came with the sauce on the salmon. The server was very apologetic and offered to take them back, but the 2 people kept it.
We'll definitely be back.
First time visit. Â Decided to stop in for lunch one day. Â I thought the food was good, had a few nice differences to make their meals unique. Â Service was good, overall a good place. Â Pricing (for lunch) was reasonable. Â I think they may have a different menu for dinner? Â
One funny thing that really impressed me was their menus. Â Nicely produced, full color menus in nice holders. Â Some places use photo-copies, these guys took it a few steps further. Â
The food was good enough that I grabbed a few menus and put them in the break rooms at work.
We came in for lunch which was excellent. Â The owner/operators were on the premises. Â What a welcome change from the chain/franchise restaurants which dominate this area! Â There was a restaurant previously in this location and Marley's opened very recently. Â You have to admire people who open an independent restaurant in this lousy economy.
The place was busy at lunchtime - I can see why with the quality of the food and the very fair prices. Â The service was excellent by a very personable server. Â The people at the booth next to us were able to get separate checks with no problems - Â restaurants that do not want to give separate checks are in business for themselves and not their customers. Â
Upon departing, another server said "thank you for your business" Â - what a refreshing change to hear this rather than the rude (kick you out the door) phrase "here you go".
