- The restaurant smelled nice and seemed clean.
- Poor quality food, bad customer service, too pricey.
“If you like high school cafeteria quality food at casual dining prices - Gondola is for you. If you like having your food served by an angry teenage waitress - Gondola is for you. If you like being surrounded by people whose dinner conversations consist of - he's blessed, she's blessed, or I'm blessed mixed with haggling over the amount of pasta sauce one should receive - Gondola is for you. If you wanted Greek cuisine - Go somewhere else.”

- Once you finally get your food, it is usually good - not always prepared your way, but edible none the less.
- It may take up to fifteen minutes to buy a Whopper at lunch or dinner time.
“If the people working in the kitchen would work as fast as the people taking and handing out the orders, it would be a much better place. It is the only BK within twenty or so miles, so if it is a Whopper you desire, then you are just stuck with the mediocre service at the Springfield BK. Everyone in Springfield knows just how bad this BK can be at the usual mealtimes. As a matter of fact, new businesses in town are gauged on the Springfield BK scale by the locals. You are actually better off going here, if it is between mealtimes. Perhaps it is the pressure of serving food at breakfast, lunch and dinner that throws the employees off their game. They seem to switch management and personnel quite often. Quick fix - then back to the hit or miss style again. There are two or three regular employees, that have managed to stay employed through all of the personnel changes. It is a shame they haven't taken some of that OJT, and learned how to make this a great experience, and to see that the food actually is prepared the way it is ordered, and served quickly.”

- Food.
- Stingy business and not customer friendly.
“Okay, so the food at Fuji is good. I suggest going with the drive through though. If you eat inside you may be turned off by how rude the workers are. On one occasion I asked for a to go cup for my beverage so I could take it back to work. The server flat out told me sorry we don't have to go cups, you have a drive through so I know you have to go cups but whatever, I let it go. The next trip there I decided to ask the same thing just curious as to what the response would be. This time the server said I would have to ask the manager! Seriously? Wow that was the worst customer friendly response ever! If I come in to a restaurant to eat and tip a server I would like to think I could get a 15 cent cup to go. The last trip I will ever take there was with 4 other co-workers. We were eating when the server came over and took the bottle of mayo-sauce that they give you with each meal and said we had enough and were not allowed any more. OMG the owners are ridiculously stingy! I've been a server at several restaurants in the past while in college so I'm not picky but good lord this place is horrible! I know it's not a chain and they have to be a little bit more concerned on spending costs but sorry you lost a paying customer in the process.”

- Nothing.
- Being stood up for their Pink Cadillac gimmick.
“Sunday July 26, 2009: we were staying at the Days Inn next to Graceland. They told us to call Marlowe's for the free pink Cadillac pick-up to their restaurant, 7:15 PM appointment. They stood us up and another couple (for 7 p.m.) waited 45 minutes. Finally went to restaurant in my own car and complained to manager; she couldn't care less and told me that is how it is when they are busy. Two Pink Cadillacs parked in lot at the time, Long line out the door. Dining area appeared dirty and cluttered with trash, decided to go elsewhere. Went to China Buffet next to Graceland where it was quiet, inexpensive and got hot steamy food right away. Returned that evening to Day's Inn and learned that Marlowe's called the Days Inn and blamed the problem on them! However, I had called the restaurant at 2 pm earlier that same day for my appointment and gave my name to a woman who advised me the time! At the hotel I learned that they favor the Heartbreak Hotel over the Days Inn when they get busy (and obviously mess up their bookings). Other guests said they waited 1-1/2 hours the night before. Forget Marlowe's! Never again!”

- Good food at a good price.
- Forgetful waiter.
“They bring tons of food and it is all good but not excellent. Lots space to stretch out; not like a lot of the BBQ places where you are sitting elbow to elbow. You can hear each other talking, too. Staff very friendly but our waiter forgot the second beer, side salad and brought the appetizers with the meal. Very clean.”
