Frydae

Went here yesterday afternoon and it was delicious. My daughter and fiancé got the jalapeño bacon fries minus jalapeño and Korean kimchi bbq fries and said they were amazing. My son and I are super sensitive to gluten. I got the chili cheese fries and he got the bbq pulled pork fries, they were awesome. We also had no problem with a reaction afterwards. Highly recommend for a quick snack and for gluten free. We will definitely be back!!

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! #fries #icecream #sundae #supportlocal #restaurant
