    a bowl of ice cream on a counter
    Summer G.

    Wow!! This place ROCKS! Visited here as we passed through the city and we were so glad we did! There's so many options for ice cream, shakes, and fry's!! I wished we hadn't of eaten lunch prior to coming here because the fry's looked amazing. We specifically came for ice cream and found the variety plentiful. I appreciated the different options they had available for people of all tastes and nutritional needs. You can also get the ice cream in a bowl or in a waffle cone, so more options! The environment and decor is unique as well. I appreciated the time and energy they took to make this business what it is today. So vibrant, fun and inviting!! When we pass through to visit family in Cedar Rapids, this is going to be one of our main stops along the way now!!

    Strawberry and s'mores sundaes

    This has become my instant go to ice cream spot when I'm in this area. The items we chose proved to be as delicious testing as they were inviting visually. We chose the strawberry shortcake and the s'mores sundaes. The strawberry shortcake sundae comes with a mini strawberry shortcake, cupcake perched on its side. Easy to detach and consume quickly. The s'mores sundae has a dollop of chocolate mousse that was smooth and delicious, two lightly toasted marshmallows and graham cracker at the bottom of the sundae. The ice cream in between was delicious. They have a lot of options to choose from and it was difficult to select just two. The atmosphere was so inviting and festive. The fellow patrons were laid-back and fun to be around. There's a courtyard in the back that easily accommodates, large groups, and families with children running around. Great place.

    Outdoor Patio

    One of our favoritest spots to stop for ice cream and fries and a must when cycling through Uptown Marion! The staff and owner are always so welcoming and their service is awesome. Enjoy their seasonal setups for their indoor and outdoor patio and they also have a set up for your pup. They have premade pup cups inside or you can grab a fresh cup or cone too!

    Just think Sugar! I heard about this place through word of mouth and it was great! So many shakes and sundaes to choose! We had an ice cream sandwich, peanut butter shake, and funnel cake fries. We sat outside and the patio had plenty of seating.

    I have to start by saying I'm glad I don't live closer to Frydae, or I would be there way too often! Not living close by, I wasn't aware of the business until I won a gift certificate. As soon as I saw a picture of the shakes, I couldn't wait to try. Luckily, I had an appointment nearby and had some time to stop. In addition to the amazing-looking shakes, Frydae has a big selection of street fries. As much as I wanted a fun shake, I knew it would be a little too much sugar for me! I still had a delicious shake made with just Anniversary Cake ice cream and some Butterfingers. I also tried the Nashville Hot Chicken Fries. They are super filling and make a great meal. Definitely bring your appetite and a friend to share a shake!

    Always looking for new experiences with my grandkids and this was a great outing for a 6th birthday. If youre looking fir something new and decadent for a treat this is the place. The ice cream is not the cheap ice milk variety, is the good creamy stuff. The selection of toppings offers a great choice to customize your experience. We didn't get the fries, but they looked good as well. The place is small, but there's outside seating available on a nice patio out back so you aren't sitting on a main street enjoying your treats. The parking can be a bit of a trial since it's in downtown Marion, but we lucked out and got a spot right out front. It is a bit pricey, but when you consider the quality and treat it as a special outing venue, I didntnfind it bad.

    Ever since my friend won a Frydae gift card though a Yelp event, I have not been able to stop talking about Frydae. I've told my squad of friends numerous times that we need to take a drive to Marion because DANG it's worth it. This specialty shop is serving you many versions of my two favorite things-- fries and ice cream. Count me in. We had a Strawberry CheeseShake and Korean BBQ Kimchi Loaded Fries. These selections were out of this world. Both took me to the moon and back with flavor. You know how sometimes you order loaded fries and the toppings are sparse? Not at Frydae. They pack on all the good stuff. Even in a milkshake, the notes of flavor from the blended ingredients are not lost. Can I mention that the milkshake comes with a mini cheesecake? So fancy and good. This place was PACKED on a Friday night. Every table was full and the customers continued to trickle in. I'm not surprised-- it's that good. I'm sure I'll be back to admire their vibey wall decor, quick service, and delectable dishes. 11/10 would recommend!

    Nashville Hot fries

    YUM. I just love when we get a new *local* place that we don't already have a million of around here. Frydae is finally that place! Fries and shakes, what more could we need?! We got the Nashville hot fries and they were delicious. I got the "Glampfire" shake and now I want it everyday. The two perfectly roasted marshmallows on top were such a delightful touch. I can't wait to try ALL the fries and ALL the shakes. Also, the patio...so convenient and cute. The one thing that wasn't ideal: went with a friend and we ordered/pod together all as one order. My shake came out about 5 minutes after hers, which felt a liiiittle too long for me - her only options were to let hers melt while waiting for mine, or eat half of hers by the time I got mine. So that stunk a little but they're new and I'm sure working through all the kinks, so no big deal.

    Chubbs BBQ - Combo Sandwich ( 3oz. Pulled Pork, 3oz. Brisket )

    Chubbs BBQ

    A no-frills food truck in a weird, but easy to find location. They have a handful of tables and…read morechairs on the lawn in front. Service was friendly and very quick. Prices are reasonable. The sandwich portions are generous and come with a small side portion and sliced pickles. The pulled pork comes without sauce and when we went, they only had spicy and blackberry sauce. As far as flavor, we agreed the pork was kinda dry but okay. I had the blackberry sauce, which I found runny and not so flavorful. My boyfriend had the spicy and said it was good, but the kick lingered in his mouth. My coleslaw was weak too. Overall, the location is perfect for this kind of meal. It's a reasonable price for what you get - sandwich, side, and drink. Probably great for local lunches, but we wouldn't go out of our way.

    Chubbs BBQ is a fairly new food truck in the Marion area and overall I must say I'm impressed…read more They are quick, well priced and consistent. The meat has a great smokey flavor and is very tender. The baked beans have quickly become a favorite and the coleslaw is a close second. They offer huge sandwiches which include 6 oz. meat, one side and a drink for $7.50 or larger platters for around $11. They never keep me waiting long and they have many BBQ sauces to choose from including some interesting ones such as cherry habanero and blackberry. They are usually located around the corner of 7th Ave. and 44th St. in Marion behind Arnold's motor supply. So if you find yourself in the area around lunchtime it's definitely worth the stop!

Well, I guess my 500th Yelp review is as good a time as any. I don't eat potato salad, but I have to start with the potato salad because my wife loves Willie Ray's potato salad so much that I actually order it as my side just to give to her. So, I guess it's pretty good. I'm pretty sure I've had every entree at Willie Ray's. I think their best entree might actually be their barbecue chicken, but I also love their ribs. A lot of places make ribs that I think are too fatty. My guess is the ribs are the same before they go in the smoker, and the ones I consider too fatty just haven't fully rendered. Regardless, the ribs at Willie Ray's never seem too fatty, or too greasy. They're always cooked just right, and have a great flavor. The entree I get the most is probably the pulled pork. It's also very good. It's not as good as the ribs, but I usually go to Willie Ray's for lunch, and something about ribs just makes me sleepy. Their brisket is awesome, too. They seem to run out of that pretty quickly, though. If you ever go there and they have a side called chicken ro-mac, definitely try it. They don't seem to have it often. So, you don't want to pass up an opportunity to try it. Based on the name, and the flavor, I'm assuming it has Rotel tomatoes in it. Other than that, it's mac and cheese with pulled chicken. I highly recommend it. Anyway, I've never had a bad meal there, and I've had a lot of meals there.
