Chicago TribuneDecember 22, 2014This candy and ice cream parlor is for those moments when you've given up resisting your sweet tooth. It's old school vibe and colorful ambience are worth a short wait. Try their turtle sundae. Read more
Serious EatsMarch 3, 2016Margie's giant banana splt on chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla ice cream, topped with thick hot fudge, fluffy whipped cream and crushed peanuts is still the best split in the city! Read more
Laurin BelloAugust 20, 2013Best ice cream ever. You have to arrive and sing up for a table or even to go, and it will take around 30 minutes waiting; especially on weekends. Attention excellent, and price is incredible low.
GenieJuly 29, 2016The raspberry sundae is my favorite! Add hot fudge to make it even better. You can choose the type of ice cream you want for your sundae
Margie's is usually busy. The people outside are just waiting for their orders. You can go inside to place your own order. The chocolate malt is the best.
Chicago Cultural AllianceSeptember 17, 2012In 1921, Greek immigrant Peter George Poulos founded Margie's Candies, part of the rich tradition of Greek-owned sweet shops, which serves candy & ice cream to Chicago’s sweet toothes.
This place is a Chicago must in the summer. Lines can be long, but usually short and well worth it. Classic ice cream & candies.
RachelSeptember 24, 2012Their chocolate is deliciousness!!! I had a chocolate pecan cluster and a chocolate coconut cluster. I'm from Ohio and just happened to pass by. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! =)
Burt BlanchardFebruary 16, 2014Excellent walk back in time. The food is good; the desserts great! Must try their turtles and NY cherry ice cream.
Eddy GonzalezNovember 1, 2015Banana split is big enough for two, super affordable and perfect for an after movie date spot to cool down
Abdullah NSeptember 13, 2013When you're in Chicago you must visit this ice cream place, nice and historic. 1921

Linda WApril 28, 2015Omg everything is good here.. Fond memories of Margie joining us and chatting with my mother in law. She is greatly missed by all who knew her.
DailyCandyApril 9, 2013Have a side of nostalgia with your hot fudge sundae. Ginormous portions and retro decor get rave reviews.
Lauren MarieAugust 28, 2013Get rid of the cherry on the sundae. It gets in the way of the ice cream, whipped cream, caramel, hot fudge, and nuts.
Leslie ONovember 16, 2013Don't come here for the hot drinks, it's just milk & hershey's in the microwave. :-(. Icecream, chocolates & phosphates are worth it.
Molly KnottMay 12, 2014I treat myself to the raspberry hot fudge sundae every mother's day. I wait all year for it. I'm actually mad I'll be waiting 364 more days.
Joe DixAugust 7, 2014It is a very small space ... Large parties are difficult ... If you have a large party I would get your order to go.
venessa tarbellNovember 17, 2011This place gets super crowded. Be prepared to wait or come at off-times if you want a seat. Otherwise, take your ice cream cones to go.
Sarah Ross MattesonOctober 11, 2012The mint chocolate chip is amazing! Ask for extra vanilla wafers.
Niccolinas SotoFebruary 23, 2010...Order their hand-packed ice cream, or banana split..too die for! Skip eating inside (cozy, but too small) and opt to grab a spot outdoors weather permitting.
Derek KucyndaApril 9, 2013The Beatles and Rolling Stones stopped by to eat here, so you know it's THAT GOOD. (It really is...)
Brittany NicoleOctober 16, 2014I wasn't very impressed with this place. Had a weird, mildew-like smell. Apple pie was swimming in melted whipped cream, which was such a disappointment. However, I can say that the ice cream was good

Preita RodriguezAugust 24, 2015First experience I had at Margie's candies was SUPER great .....love it
Josh HershJanuary 22, 2010The best two scoops of ice cream w/ hot fudge that I've ever had...and topped with those crunch, delicious wafers.
Coco Loco is so good. If you like coconut, go for it. But I get it with cheesecake ice cream :)
Dan StanNovember 23, 2012Had a terrible experience here I asked for one dessert thy didn't have it asked for another they didn't hve it, asked for another they didn't have it. They need workers to do inventory for real
