Bantam Chef - Marion

I've been to Bantam Chef a few times and found the food to be very good for the price – definitely worth a visit. The livermush was a unique and tasty choice, with a slight crust and great flavor. The friendly service and cozy atmosphere make it a top spot for a satisfying meal in Marion.

I went to the drive-thru and placed my order around 5pm yesterday evening. I only live about 7 minutes away. I ordered my food, waited, got my food, got home, took my shoes off, sat down to eat with my 2-year-old granddaughter. Our food was terrible - the fries were cold, like they had been cooked ahead of time and just thrown in the to-go box. The hot dog all the way was cold, the chili was watery and had no taste. The hamburger was also cold, like it had been cooked ahead of time and thrown on the bun. We ended up throwing it all away. We will never go back there again.

I have dined at this restaurant multiple times and have always received excellent food and customer service. I believe they serve some of the best burgers in town. The owner is very active in community events and non-profit organizations, making an effort to give back to the community. I highly recommend anyone who has not yet tried their food to pay them a visit and give it a try.

The restaurant offers delicious food at reasonable prices, and the staff are friendly.

My husband and I have ate at this restaurant for now going on 20 years. And we haven't had any complaints about the service or food until the last 2 years. (2017-2018). The service has become rude the orders are almost always wrong. The food under cooked, or burnt. When you speak to someone about your issue with the food, I have been called a liar. And told the food was not the way I said it was. When I have asked to speak to the owner I have been told he is not there or they have hung the phone up on me. This used to be the place I recommended to everyone who asked where to get a great bite to eat in Marion. But now I don't even mention the name at all. It's a Shame that such a wonderful place to eat has been turned into just like all the others. The food is not cooked with any care on how it's gonna taste.
