    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!!

    Take 5 sundae  I loved this. It had caramel,fudge, peanut butter, pretzels and peanuts with vanilla ice cream. 10/10

    Me and my husband love this place. We come a few times each summer. We enjoy the outside seating and the vibe. Service was great, everyone is always so nice and friendly. Me and hubby decided to share everything. We got the porker Sandwich. It comes with crispy chicken, pulled pork, American cheese and jalapeno peppers. The chicken was nice and crispy. The pork was good but very saucy and sweet. It was good. The take 5 sundae was mind-blowing. The ice cream itself was so creamy. It was packed with goodies. Caramel, hot fudge, peanut butter, pretzels and peanuts together with vanilla ice cream was perfection in a cup. Then of course I had to have my favorite CBR. It is exactly what it stands for only on fries, with melted cheese and the best ranch of your life. I can not stress this enough, their ranch is a must try for Midwest ranch lovers. Thank me later. Great visit. We will be back in a few weeks.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Note: This is a review for the new Korean BBQ! It's essentially your own korean style hibachi…read moregrill. Our server Izzy was super helpful in getting us started, but gave us enough autonomy to cook our own stuff and enjoy the experience. The dinner started out with Banchan, which consisted of a bunch of small dishes that would be passed around - among the veggies, bean sprouts, potato's, salad, miso soybean soup, etc., the kimchi radishes were my favorite. Upon request (and free of charge), they'll bring out seconds of whatever you'd like. Then, they come out with a variety of meats that we cook ourselves (with guidance if needed) on the grill in the center of the table. Among the many, the ones that stood out to me were the brisket, lemon pepper chicken, and the miso garlic pork collar. You will leave FULL and happy. 5 stars. Thanks MIX for a great night!

    Tried this place out after seeing all their menu had to offer, and it was good!…read more We came in super late and thankfully they still took us, and staff was so nice whole time. I got the classic bibimbap and my boyfriend got the miso ramen. I will say I don't think we ordered the right things, because the menu seemed amazing but our food was decent. The bulgogi was really good, and we both enjoyed our meals. The place is themed and very nice, seems like a cozy spot. We will be coming back to try more and use the hot pot as well!

    The only reason I am taking away 1 star is for the lack of vegetarian/vegan options on the menu…read more There is a black bean burger and a Portabella sandwich on the menu, which is the most standard vegetarian menu item at any restaurant. We were here for lunch on a weekday, so my experience is going to be very different from a lot of other reviews. Loved loved loved our server! She was the sweetest and very friendly. She was prompt with our requests and did everything possible to go above and beyond. The decor was cute with the indoor lighting. I love how Marion is now getting all these businesses who want to provide a good experience to the customer. If they can expand their vegetarian menu, I'd go back.

    Service was ok however, my husband ordered a chicken quesadilla and found something rubbery in it…read more It appeared to be a piece of a rubber gasket off of something that had fallen into his food. The cook didn't seem to notice when preparing it? SMH. We told the waitress about it, she took it to the manager. The waitress came back and said the manager didn't seem concerned about it. The manager never came to talk to us, didn't offer an apology and didn't offer to take any money off of our bill. The waitress seemed embarrassed and took it upon herself to take 75% off the price of the quesadilla. We were so grossed out that we will not be going back there again.
