Courtney was probably the best server I’ve ever had. The food was good and it’s in a fun part of Alpharetta. But seriously if you go ask for Courtney. She makes sure you’re taken care of everytime!

Great place
Great Atmosphere & Standout Flavor, Just Needs One Finishing Touch
⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5 Stars)
If you're looking for a reliable, upscale neighborhood tavern spot in Alpharetta, Marlow’s Tavern consistently delivers. The atmosphere strikes a great balance, being warm and approachable, but with a sleek, contemporary edge. On this visit, we sat right near the patio, and the gentle breezes paired with the soothing sound of the outdoor water fountain made for an incredibly peaceful, relaxing dinner.
As for the food, I went with the Kickin' Turkey Burger paired with their hand-cut tavern fries.
The turkey burger can easily lean dry, but Marlow’s nails the execution on the meat itself because it was juicy and well-seasoned. The flavor profile is excellent, featuring a pepper glaze, jalapeño jack cheese, crispy jalapeños, and a bright jicama slaw on a toasty croissant bun. The only critique is that it just needed some type of signature sauce or spread to bring all those elements together and fully elevate it.
The hand-cut tavern fries were a hit. They were hot, perfectly salted, and had that ideal crisp-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside texture.
Service was attentive and the food arrived well-timed, even with the kitchen staying consistently busy. It’s an easy, dependable go-to in the area, and that serene patio-adjacent seating really made the evening special.
Had a great experience at Marlow’s Tavern in Avalon. The food was excellent from start to finish. We started with the asparagus fries, which were crispy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the dipping sauce. For dinner, I had the grilled chicken Caesar salad, and the chicken was cooked perfectly with great flavor and a nice char from the grill. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared.
The atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming, making it a great spot for a casual dinner, drinks with friends, or a night out at Avalon. Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience was exactly what you’d hope for from a neighborhood tavern.
We’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend if you’re looking for good food, a relaxed atmosphere, and consistent service in the Avalon area

Our server didn't greet us,took long periods of time for taking our order.When my friend needed something like hot sauce ,the server in the section refused to acknowledge us,we literally had to raise our voices to get help,it was awful! I made the best out of this situation because I was happy to spend time with a old friend.
