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.
This is probably the last Ice Cream Parlor in Chicago proper. Great ice cream, good sandwiches, awesome candy and so much history The Beatles ate lunch here when they played Cominsky. This place breathes history! 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. 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. Margie's is a fun place to go if you don't mind a little wait, though i would avoid afternoons. I stopped by for a snak and found the staff rude and short. Not at all helpful to the point I felt I was imposing. The place is very dirty as I noticed after I placed my order.
I lost my apatite canceled my order and left never to go back again. Do not go here as I? The staff at Margie's are homophobic and rude. They refused to serve me and my partner because of our gender appearance, saying that we weren't ""real"" people, and we couldn't ever be served there. This is quite troubling in view of Chicago's generally accepting environment. Who knew that the neighborhood ice cream shop would harass and insult it's clientele? Don't support this local expression of evil - avoid Margie's!!
This place rocks. Bucktown is just fine. You just gotta be street wise, big deal! Go west a little bit and a few blocks North and you are in the bad part of Logan Square.
In any event, Margie's is a place that serves great icecream. I'm not talking 'faux-retro,' either. This place looks late's, early 60's and has the original booth-juke boxes with hits by Perry Como and his ilk. People expecting sterile, shiny surfaces and well-lit, mass-produced kitsch needn't bother. Margie Poulos died in , and her son Peter assumed control of the business.
Some of its trademark features are its multiple original Tiffany lamps, a marble soda fountain, and old-fashioned booths with miniature jukeboxes. The entire establishment is also adorned with newspaper clippings, stuffed animals, and aging photographs of past customers. The Chicagoist. Retrieved 18 August Chicago Sun-Times. Chicago Tribune.
