- 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.Upvote3Downvote

- 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.UpvoteDownvote

- 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.UpvoteDownvote

- 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.Upvote1Downvote

- 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 goodUpvote1Downvote

- 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.UpvoteDownvote
