I love this place! The food is wonderful, high quality and like nothing you’ll find in the area. The empanadas are a must, and even the side salad was delicious! They put a Caribbean spin on all of their food and it all has so much flavor! My favorite dish is the Marley’s Chicken Pasta, and my husband likes the BLT or the Pepper Steak entree. The staff are all super welcoming and make you feel comfortable and appreciated. Give it a try!

This review is not given lightly; my parents owned a restaurant and I grew up in the restaurant business. My daughter and I visited Marleys for the first time on Monday and everything from drinks to desert was a home run! Not only was the food amazing but everyone was warm and welcoming. I recommend Marleys and look forward to our next visit!

Wow! So glad we stopped in! Fantastic food, and service! Great, friendly staff and atmosphere from the moment we came in. Maggie made the best rum punch with Appleton that made us feel like we were sitting on the beach in the Caribbean! The jerk chicken, rice and peas, steamed cabbage and plantains were spot on! Delicious! Thank you Marlon for welcoming us! We will definitely be back!

First time here. It's a bit far from where we live but I got a coupon on Clipp so I figured we would give it a try. The wings were absolutely amazing. As good as PJ whelihans!!!!!! My husband had a jerk cheeaesteak and I had a jerk burger. We both enjoyed them. The fries were slammin. I could tell the old is fresh and clean. The price was fair. Our waitress was nice although She never told us her name. If your in the area, it's definitely worth a try. Especially if you like wings!!!!!! Side note, the ladies room was really nice. They had feminine products and fun hand soaps. Dreamy
