MARATHON DELI

Marathon Deli is at 7412 Baltimore Ave in College Park, on Route 1 near the University of Maryland. Google describes it as a stalwart Greek deli serving gyros, including vegetarian options, in a no-frills strip-mall setting. It holds a 4.5-star Google rating across 1,319 reviews, and one reviewer says they've been coming since 1982, through a change of location.

Gyros and pita bread draw most of the praise, along with generous portions and fair prices; steak and cheese subs, fries, mozzarella sticks and spinach pockets also get mentions. The recurring criticism is dry meat, with one highlight describing a dry gyro platter and a delivery customer complaining about hard, dry chicken. One reviewer notes delivery through apps can get expensive.

Hours run late: until 1 AM Sunday through Wednesday and 3 AM Thursday through Saturday. Google lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance and restroom.
