Since 1988 Steve Roesly, or "The Ice Man" as he is famously known in Marion, has presided over this comfortable local gathering place in a strip mall. Family chili and batter recipes are fiercely guarded, but the atmosphere is friendly and open, with intimate booths or tables for a crowd. The Ice House is known for prime rib, filets, chicken livers and Lori Salad on an extensive menu. The "Love Me Tenderloin" is oversized and can be ordered fried with Ice's secret breading, or grilled. The drunken fish sandwich is another favorite - the cod is dense, dipped twice in a light spicy beer batter. Hot fudge sundaes and cheesecake are signature desserts. Located near the corner of State Roads 9 & 37.

Open Mon.-Sat. 11 am-11 pm, Sunday 11 am-10 pm. $$
