★★★★★ 5.0 FOOD ! Reviews (Ronald Henderson) · Oct 2025

"Marco’s Grilled Cheese in Iowa City is a must-try spot! Their gyros are packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned, and the jumbo corn dogs with cheese are absolutely amazing—crispy on the outside, cheesy and delicious on the inside. The food is always fresh, the staff is friendly, and the vibe is great whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or hanging out with friends. Definitely one of the best places to go in Iowa City! I recommend Marco’s Grilled Cheese to locals and travelers." — 𝘍𝘖𝘖𝘋

2am…. Marco’s was magical. The moment I walked in, the Christmas decorations made me feel like I was home for Christmas at my parent’s house. I’m a U of I student and I miss home around the holidays. I ordered a bacon macaroni and cheese. It was PERFECT. Before leaving, I went to the counter and told the lady that put love into my food how great she was. She told me the whole team made my experience at Marcos’s great. Great staff = excellent food ❤️

First off , it’s waaaay over priced . Next,the food was awful and it came on a hot dog bun . I ordered a steak grilled cheese .. $12 +$5 for fries and a drink. $17 for a grilled cheese fries and soda .. it was so dry I didn’t care if I over paid ! I was gonna at least leave with some food,in my belly instead of no food .. ( I was really hungry ) .. best I can say is “ it eats “ . Buyer beware, it’s a definite skip .. oh and don’t forget the tip for ordering g a grilled cheese at the counter .. all in all my kid and I ate grilled cheese ( they don’t even use Texas toast ) for the ripe price of $38..

Excellent place to eat at. I had my 18 month old granddaughter and my son with me. I wasn't sure if they were going to have high chairs but they did. The cook (Colin Hubler) came to our table to make sure our food was okay. The food was delicious. I am definitely going back and I'm going to recommend to my friends and family.

Stopped in here for lunch because one our teens is a grill cheese specialist. The bread on these sandwiches is toasted to a buttery perfection, but still soft in the middle with melted cheese. I enjoyed the Cuban on a warmed hoagie roll. Highly recommend!
