"I rather enjoy a butterscotch sundae with vanilla ice cream but they have much more than that."

Cathy Chaplin

"It was a killer sundae, just like Roy promised. A classic perfected."

Nick Kindelsperger

"Because what better way to bring everyone together than an enormous sundae filled with freshly made ice cream, topped high with whipped cream and then drowned in delectable homemade fudge sauce?"

PureWow

"The house specialty--"heaven in a white clamshell dish"-- combines three scoops of ice cream, nuts, whipped cream and hot fudge. What could be bad?"

Jake Kilroy

"It’s the American Dream of cream made from all-natural and kosher ingredients, with family recipes handed down from generation to generation."

Kevin Alexander

"If you go, don’t mess around: go straight to one of those old-school booths with the tableside jukebox, put on something by Chubby Checker, and cover your face in fudge as if you’re applying war paint."

Jacky Runice

"Way, way, way before the hipsters “discovered” Bucktown, old Margie Michaels and her team of sweet ladies were rolling chocolates and serving colossal ice cream sundaes and thick shakes to teenage first dates and families."

Ross Perkins

"Not only do they make tantalizing ice cream, their homemade candies are like nothing you have every experienced."

Paige Songer

"They also make their own waffle cones and can hand dip them in chocolate on the spot. Cheesecake, New York Cherry, and Yogurt & Sherbet are some of the flavors they offer."

Tessa Newell

"Considering that all of the ice cream is fresh and homemade, just like it was when the shop opened in 1921, it's no surprise Margie's has become a staple of the Chicago food scene."
