Marcus Live! Bar & Grille

5 stars for exceptional customer care. Super friendly host & waitresses. A manger stopped by our table to check on us & help to level our table. Delicious food, but the drinks from the bar left a bit to be desired. We will return for a 2nd visit.

With so many options, I was very happy with our choice. The atmosphere is a perfect balance of art to look at not overstated just for posting on Social Media. While I love posting, if I see one more neon sign claiming “this is where I need to be”…. On to the food…. We were there for lunch and had the, Shrimp with grits 5/5! Flavorful 4-cheese Mac n cheese - 5/5x2!!! It’s listed as a side but was a large enough portion for a meal. I will likely order this every time I visit because it was the perfect blend of cheeses and the top had a fresh out of the oven crunch. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The truffle fries were equally delicious with a perfect balance of truffle oil. Lastly, ask for the server Marcus, he was top notch and deserves a kudos!

This place is fantastic! I tried a variety of dishes and they all exceeded expectations. The smoked ribs were incredibly tender with a delightful glaze, a hint of char, and a delicious southern BBQ flavor. The calamari was fresh and perfectly fried, offering a satisfying crunch complemented by a balanced sauce and pepper garnish. And the wings? They were so good, I wanted to personally meet Chef Earnest, who even took time to share some of his BBQ secrets with us. Needless to say, I'll be returning soon—my to-go bag isn’t going to last very long!

Updated from a 1 to 3 star: My friend was able to finally get reimbursed and did not have to pay for her meal after I got in contact with the general manager David last night. Thank you David! I went here with my friends for my birthday on Saturday, October 26th, and my friend was over charged on her card and management has been avoidant in refunding her money. Additionally, the server was making mistakes and the onions that were supposed to be included with the Krabby Patty meals were not there leaving the burgers dry. My steak was good and cooked like I asked. When I mentioned to the server it was my birthday, she did not seem to really care and they did not sing for my birthday like they did for another table. I will not be coming back here due to the lack of care and support from management and their waitresses.

I came across this restaurant and wanted to try something different. It exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed the food, service and the atmosphere. The restaurant has records all on the walls and beautiful decor. It's very spacious inside. The food was delicious and the service was fast. Our waitress was cool and took pictures of us.

Located in the food court of the American Dream Mall. Restaurant has a very cool laid back vibe with a large bar and comfortable seating area. We stopped in for a drink and to try the famous devil eggs and everything was great. Loved the devil eggs. Wonderful service and delicious food and drinks. Looking forward to coming back and trying their other menu options.

Very disappointing Friday night spent here. I came on a Friday night to a pretty empty restaurant, yet all patrons were packed together in the center. The food did not meet the expectations created by other reviews. We ordered, "Famous" Devilled Eggs, Corn bread, Ceviche, Rollerskate Ribs, and a side of Brussel sprouts. The Devilled eggs were ice cold, dry, and the only flavor to them was some poor excuse of a hot sauce. The cornbread was this dry and rock hard disc, better used as a paperweight. Ribs were no better, rock hard and dry, did not fall off the bone. Ceviche was edible, but nothing compared to other ceviche. JARANA next door serves far superior ceviche. I have a theory that none of this food is made fresh... with the consistency of it all. It almost seems precooked and heated upon ordering. There's a kitchen in the outdoor area, but you see no cooking whatsoever. The only reason, I gave this place an additional star, is for the Brussel sprouts. That was actually delicious, and made the meal just a tiny bit enjoyable. Unfortunately, it was the one item I have no pictures for as it came out last, and I didn't expect much.

Stopped by for a light lunch on Thur around 12:30 pm. American Dream website is showing free validated parking when dining during weekdays 12-2 pm at listed restaurants, but when we asked, the server had to get a manager to validate it. David, the manager was being very nice about it. The restaurant’s website shows they have option for an Express Lunch menu, which has limited selection of items but of a better value than the all day menu. The maitre’d didn’t include the lunch menu until we requested it. Food came quick and everything was delicious. The corn bread came with sprinkles of wht looked like sea salt, and the honeyed butter & berries jam that accompanied the corn bread were soooo delish! Brussel sprouts were roasted to a crispy perfection, and drizzle of hot honey and pickled onions on it were just awesome. Truffle fries was fried perfectly crisp and hot, always a comfort munch. We chose brown sugar sauce for the wings, again the wings were fried to a perfect crisp. Some people might prefer their wings juicier like how they do in many other wing places, but i prefer my wings crispy, so this was very much to my liking. We ended up dipping the fries in the wing sauce coz it’s that good! Sweet with a mild tang and kick.. just yummy! The house made blue cheese dip was so thick and decadent, i could eat it with a spoon. Overall for the lunch menu, i’d say it’s a very good value. Might come back to try their entrees next time. Ambiance is fine, brightly lit and server is attentive. He asked if we’d like some water in addition to our drink order and left an entire bottle of ice cold water for our table, which I really appreciate. Wobbly table is a thing though, i read about it on the other reviews and our table was wobbly too, although the server said the previous table we were seated at had an even wobblier table, and ours wasnt as bad. I find it hillarious that they knew abt the wobbly tables and it’s still not fixed? Can’t even squeeze something underneath the table feet to stop the wobble? It’s certainly not a deal breaker issue. All Nighter mocktail was refreshing. Good experience all around.
