I pride myself on giving completely unbiased reviews. Â This isn't going to be one of them. Â I went to school at DePauw and therefore signed a contract that I'd always love Marvin's in exchange for a tuition discount. Â Just kidding, there are no tuition discounts.
Some people like the wet burrito, some rave about the pizza, but most just go for the GCB. Â For the uninitiated, that's a Garlic Cheeseburger, and it's amazing. Â My suggestion would be to pair your GCB with an order of Cheese Fries (ask for cheese on the side to maintain fry crunchiness), and a very cheap light beer.
You shouldn't come for the decor, although the "Marvin's Delivers to..." pictures are awesome, definitely don't come for the service, and if you're a Wally, do everyone a favor and don't come at all.
A Greencastle/Depauw institution. Â Garlic Cheeseburger (aka GCB). Â 'Nuff said. Â It's total greasy-spoon fare, but it's become something magical here. Â Take 2 hamburger patties, fry them with cheese on top, and lay them side-by-side on a hoagie roll. Â Then cover it in garlic salt. Â Heaven.
And it's cheap.
The decor isn't anything to write home about, but be sure to walk around and check out all the pictures of students/ex-students from around the world with their "Marvin's Delivers To (insert location here)" signs.
