“The friendly staff goes out of their way to remind you that your car will be towed out of any adjacent lot and to find metered parking.”
“it does smell a bit funny but that quickly fades once you see the huge serving of ice cream you get :) the service is sometimes bordering on rude however almost every time i've gone i get this wonderfully sweet waitress and i have a great time.”
“ordered it with Chocolate ice cream and Pecans, it comes in this huge bowl shaped like a shell, with 3 scoops of yummy chocolate ice cream, a chocolate brownie, whipped cream, sprinkled with pecans and they give you a jar of warm molten chocolate fudge.”
“highly recommend the Banana Nut Sundae, that was the first thing I picked out of the menu and thats what I have been ordering every time I go back”
“This is the best place for those who have a sweet tooth.”

“would go there more often if I could say I've ever had good service there.”
“You can get your sundae in a huge c.”
“The candies are good too but they can't be bothered by serving you-was there during the daytime when it was slow and they want you to buy an already packed box.”View Less
Chocolate Lovers go Mmmmmm....... The place has simply the Best Chocolate Ice cream in town, its called the Brownie Ala Mode. I ordered it with Chocolate Ice cream and Pecans, it comes in this huge bowl shaped like a shell, with 3 scoops of yummy chocolate ice cream, a chocolate brownie, whipped cream, sprinkled with pecans and they give you a jar of warm molten chocolate fudge. Have a spoon of this a you will close your eyes and go Mmmmmmmm.... Heaven!…
chocolates tasted like soap.
We ordered two candies which were loose. One was a coffee cream. The other was a cherry cluster. Both my husband and I agreed that both candies tasted like soap. We are wondering if someone
sprayed soap on the candies or mixed soap with the chocolate.
Hopefully this is only an isolated problem.…
Just plain mean.. Like other reviewers, I had driven by this place for years and was very excited to visit. I didn't last 30 seconds before what looked like the owner and another staff member harrassed and made fun of me for 'just looking around'. When I decided to leave, they laughed and sarcastically told me to hurry back real soon. I honestly was not in the store for an entire minute. It was a disturbing and uncomfortable experience to say the least.…
very clean, no odors like the other place, great customer service!. Hey Everyone, I just want to let everyone know that A second Margie's icecream store is opened on Montrose Ave right off the brown line, (Around 1800 W. Montrose) They have the same menu, But alot less candies in their display! This place is so much cleaner and no foul odor's as in the one on Western Ave, The wait staff is very friendly and helpful (except for the redish brown hair lady -talked my head off and didn't give me time to read the menu) That was on my 4th vist there on a slow sunday, But all other vists were EXCELLENT! Weekend's are A great time and not A long wait, With A nice mix of people and A very nice neighborhood! So my advice is if you still want Margie's icecream in a nice enviroment, Go to the one on Montrose! It's worth the little extra drive…
A Chicago gem. I took a leisurely stroll northward on scenic Milwaukee Avenue one sultry summer night this August with a female companion. After a great dinner at Earwax Cafe, we craved a cool dessert. Ten minutes later, we were in line at Margie's. Plenty of bustle about the place: local families with kids in tow intermingled with obvious visitors to this ice cream mecca on the outskirts of Bucktown. It was a gorgeous evening so we didn't mind the wait, which turned out to be quite short--five minutes tops--on a hot and busy Saturday night, no less. We were ushered into what must be the tiniest restaurant in existence, for sure, but were relieved to be seated at a comfy, roomy booth, surrounded by a collection of tchachkes to rival all tchachkes. Definitely a portal into a more innocent time. The service was curt, the menu was gargantuan. We both ordered sundaes. They. Were. MAGNIFICENT! Mounds of freshly-made ice cream topped with incredible caramel and chocolate sauces, nuts, and garnished with a wafer cookie and one of Margie's signature candies. But the real treat was the gravy-boat of homemade hot fudge provided, the most decadent chocolate I may have ever tasted. Drizzled over our ice cream treats, we were in heaven. When we'd finally devoured our awesome creations, we wanted more, but prudence ruled, and we went home very, very happy. So if you don't mind a little wait, utilitarian service, and some seriously retro surroundings, you'll be rewarded with the most remarkable ice cream you've ever tasted. Guaranteed.…
