Today:
Marco's got a facelift, but it still has classic steakhouse ambiance. The most courageous omnivores will brave "Cheap Meat" Tuesday nights, but if you are looking for great food and drinks without the crowds, any other night of the week (except Sunday) will work.
There aren't too many places like Marco's anymore. With all the chains and masss produced restaurants, it's hard to find places with a lot of character. In an easy, but hard to find location (54th & Keystone) you'll find ambiance resembling a scene from Goodfellas. In an endearing way, not in the something might happen sense. It is fairly dark and kinda seems like you might need to talk about something secret, but it is very comfortable and private. In addition to the venue itself, the food is always good. With most meals, you get your 3-4 courses (soup, salad, entree, etc.) all made fresh to order. You won't leave hungry. If you're going on Tuesday, expect a short wait, depending on what time you go. One of Indy's best kept secrets.
Every sociable North Sider should know about Cheap Meat nights already. Don't over look the rest of the fare on their menu. The specials here are always sure to delight. Locally owned and operated I agree with Doug, this is one of Indy's best kept secrets. The staff is always tentative and friendly. I do reccomend making reservations if you plan to dine on Tuesday.
Marcos is a decent place with a very diverse crowd. I've eaten there several times. It's not a place I actively seek out if I'm choosing the restaurant, but I have a friend or two that love it, and I'm not opposed to eating there.
I am a big fan of this place as it consistently has great service, food and atmosphere.
I just visited again this last weekend and has the Prime Rib, which was just right...juicy, flavorful, A+! We also were fortunate to have one of our favorite servers who was always there just when we needed him.
For the price, I think this is one of the best overall dining experiences to be had in town!
Cheers!
Marcos has been around for ever, it was originally the Capri before they moved to there new location. The problem people make when they go to a restraint is they order the same old thing off the menu every time. Every night Marcos has a specials menu to die for. I have been going there once or twice a month for the last 8 years and have only ordered off the regular menu 3 or 4 times. The specials are always better than the menu no matter what restraint you are at. It is the only way the chef gets to show his true culinary talents. 4 out of 5 stars for Marcos, make sure to try there specials you will defiantly come back a second time.
Marco's keeps loyalty of clientele by changing little
Looking sharp in its high-visibility location at 54th Street and Keystone Avenue, Marco's has a funky, stellar sign and, in the summer, a packed patio ...
