Frydae

My family went here on a Friday evening, it was busy and a band was playing out back. The cones came out really quickly, and as expected the shake took longer (maybe 5min). They also have some grab-and-go style items like the cookie sandwich.
The ice cream flavors are great on the own and are perfect for cones but if you want something showy, every shake that came out looked incredible.
I’d definitely go again and would be interested in trying some of their hot food items.

I got two different shakes from Frydae’s: strawberry and caramel coffee brew. Both turned out good; excellent choice for a sweltering summer day. I’d be willing to go back again.

Cute place to eat especially if you like fries and shakes/ice cream. I had the Korean BBQ so delish. And for dessert I tried the Marion Blackberry omg if you love Blackberry it’s a must try! Staff is friendly and restaurant is clean.

Wife and I came here a few times. My father flew in from NJ and the first place we took him to was here.

The food here is great and creative. The shakes and sundaes are delicious works of art. The price isn’t too bad. We would come here more often if we can. We love it here.

Amazing all around! Great shakes, food and service! Love this place! We go out of our way to stop here when we're in C.R area.

Have only visited one time, so can't give full 5 stars for food. But the ladies working were very gracious and the atmosphere is kind of old times ice cream join meets modern restaurant. They have the best loaded fries I've seen. They also have all the toppings you can think of for your ice cream, making it incredibly customizable

Great place, Order sit down and they find you when it's ready. Food was hot and they fixed the order for allergies! Alexis B was a great service and atmosphere!

What a fun concept for a restraunt. The perfect afternoon snack on a hot summer day. The baby cone we got for the toddler was the prefect size for her. Everything was prepared to order and the staff delivered it to us outside. Everything is picture perfect and delicious.
My only complaint is that the speciality shakes and sundaes don't come in a small size. We will be back despite this and we will be sharing.

Frydae
Street Fries & Ice Cream
743 10th St, Marion, IA

First day of summer. Kids are home, and for all of you who have kids (or had a rough day), you know, those days where you are just done, yea, that. Who wants to prepare a meal? We were about to prepare our dinner when we were reminded by the kids about Frydae a few times. They had good behavior, so why not!

•Restaurant Layout/Vibe Rating - 5 Stars•

Approaching the location is an experience in itself. It's in the heart of downtown Marion and surrounded by other fantastic places and fabulous pieces of art. Currently, Construction is occurring on the main street they are located on but don't let that hold you back. They have an excellent parking lot VERY CLOSE, and hey, you get to have the scenic back route to view other pieces of art I didn't capture in this go-around.

I loved some of the pieces they used to add flavor to the location, like the photo of the Classic flavors, very cool.

I also loved the community board, with pieces pinned to help out the locals. I don't feel like I see many of those anymore.

The inside seating is ample, followed by a great outdoor seating experience. So best of both worlds 🙂!

•Customer Service Rating - 5 Stars•

We walked through the door, and we were immediately greeted. As you read more of my reviews, you will find that this is a massive deal to me. Coming from the customer service experience many years ago, I know how important it is to invite and welcome someone immediately and also how hard it can be at times to train employees to do so. Everyone was fabulous and took great care of us while answering our questions. We asked what the favorites were for each team member on shift, and since it was our meal, we grabbed all 4. 3 kids and my wife; it was just enough to fill us all with a bit of leftover.

•Food Rating - 5 Stars•
Two words. Loaded Fries. I mean, wow. I was worried about the heavy meal, especially with all the fried food. Don't get me wrong; it was heavy still but not even close to what I was expecting grease-wise. I devoured far more fries than I had intended to. Shhh, don't judge 😜.

These were the four recommendations the employees made for us.

•Mexican Street Corn (My Fav!)
Jalapeno/black bean sweet corn mix, cotija, Colby-jack
cheese, jalapenos, chili powder, cilantro, and lime.

•Uptown Bacon Cheese (My second Fav)
Cheddar cheese sauce, Colby-jack cheese, bacon, green
onion, GOOD ranch, and sour cream.

•Chicken Bacon Ranch (All the kid's Fav)
Crispy chicken, bacon, mozzarella & provolone,
Monterey-jack cheese sauce, green onion, and GOOD ranch.

•Buffalo Chicken Mac (My wife's Fav)
Crispy chicken, mac & cheese, Franks buffalo sauce,
Colby-jack cheese, GOOD ranch, and cilantro.

My favorites were the Uptown fries and Mexican street corn. The Mexican street corn brought back yet another fond childhood memory. As a child, I lived in Houston and would go to a grocery store called Fiesta. Outside was a man who would sell roasted corn in a cup mixed with all kinds of goodies and served in a styrofoam cup. Man, that was a memory I had forgotten. So glad we came out to try the delicious food from Frydae's.

•Desert - 5 Stars•

We went ahead and tried a Raspberry sorbet (as a non-dairy option) as well as Reese's PB cup Overload.

Both were awesome, and we loved the presentation!

•Cool items to take note of•
They have certain items that they buy from local vendors 🙂!
They have a fryer dedicated to gluten-free cooking.
They offer dairy-free options!

Thanks to the Friday team for giving my family a great experience!

Excellent food and service. I referred a couple people in my class to try it🤗. I was told the Mexican street corn was pretty good. I wanted to try it, but OMG, the Korean BBQ kimchi is so yummy.

This place is wonderful! I love that I can get my two favorite things (fries and ice cream) at the same time! It is a bit expensive if you get the largest shake and are paying for more than just yourself, but there are other less pricey options available as well. They have the "GOOD" ranch and the "GOOD" ice here, so if you happen to love ranch or snacking on ice you'll find these a bonus! Overall, a tasty little spot and something to enjoy on a nice day.

Absolutely delicious! The staff did a great job getting through the rush and we're very friendly and professional. I highly recommend stopping in, their cheese fries and shakes are bomb!

Frydae never disappoints!! The chicken, bacon and ranch fries are amazing! You get chicken, bacon and cheese with every bite, not just the top layer! Let's not forget about the Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake! YUM! Even ordering a small was definitely enough chocolate peanut butter deliciousness!! Will be back again FOR SURE!!

We loved our first visit here! Amazing street fries, and sundaes! Very clean, inviting and positive atmosphere!! Service was fantastic too! Will go back for sure!

Apple crumb Sundae was beautiful and delicious. The loaded fries were a good serving piping hot and hit the spot.

Location is clean and welcoming. The staff is very congenial and help with samples if you ask. And were welcoming with suggestions

The fries and Sunday were tops. I recommend the buffalo chicken and the garlic parm fries...both were amazing!!! My wife and I love stopping here on the rare occasions we get out and about. Also, they have Dig-Dug.

We were there for lunch on a Wednesday. Not busy, and the staff was very patient while we made our choices. I appreciate the variety between spicy and non spicy dishes. It appears that all dishes can be altered to meet your needs. There are no kid sizes of things, but they were very accommodating for us.

Cute place! The Nashville fries were bomb! And our ice cream sundaes were delicious and creative! We’ll definitely be back!

Tried the buffalo fries, kc bbq fries, and the caramel shake! Everything was so tastey. All the staff was very friendly. Line was a little long, but new place in a small town, what can you expect? Great spot for a little treat! Definitely worth a try or two!

Absolutely incredible experience!! The Korean BBQ Kim chi fries were delicious! The Peanut Butter Cup shake was amazing! Will definitely be back!!!
