Reviews for Marco's Grilled Cheese in Iowa City, IA
A local cart that became the champions of downtown. The new brick and mortar location has all your favorite street food and... tailgating snacks. Open late makes it great. A staple of the Hawkeye state. Read more
Before my trip to Marco's, I didn't even know it was possible to mess up a grilled cheese sandwich. What arrived at the table... was miles below my lowest expectations. Cold, unmelted cheese slices in-between two small, lightly toasted pieces of whitebread. I thought the bare minimum for a grilled cheese sandwich was melted cheese slices... am I going crazy? This is to saynothing of the exorbitant prices. A grilled cheese with a small cup of soup will run you $17. Read more
Their food cart at 1 am downtown is always a treat, so it was nice to finally be able to visit the store front location. Ham and... cheese was delicious as always and it was nice to sit on the patio area. However, the price for the grilled cheese isn't bad,but when you make it a combo it does get a little pricy.

Buddy and I got food poisoning. They get their food for the grill from the dollar store and serve moldy bread. My work got them... to cater, never again. Read more

Despite living in Iowa City for over half a decade, I only recently tried Marco's for the first time. Carryout service speed was... par, I had my food within about 10 minutes of ordering. The grilled PB&J must have been put on the same time as the rest of myorder, because it was lukewarm when I got home with it. The regular grilled cheese was okay. It was just that- a grilled cheese,and only that, which was a bit disappointing for $5.50. The entirety of the rest of the menu, however, appeared delicious,creative, and diverse. The venue's decades-spanning history is "baked" into its selection. The "Ultimate" was great, I crave oneevery time I drive by Market & Linn and see the Marco's sign down the road. The location itself was acceptably clean. There weremaybe six other patrons in the restaurant, although this was on one of Iowa City's much tamer and frigidly cold Saturdayevenings. I imagine this place gets packed on busier nights, as it's not exactly spacious. Read more
My husband ordered the Cuban Sandwich and I ordered an Italian Roast Beef on gluten free bread with tomato bisque soup on the... side. Honestly, the food was incredibly delicious and cooked perfectly. However, the serving portions were rather small for thecost and the presentation was missing a garnish of some sort. Of course, none of the prices will break the bank and this placeis definitely worth trying. Read more
Ordered a classic grilled cheese and loaded tots, something I would normally order. I received a classic grilled cheese and... walking taco. I was charged for the walking taco but was so hungry and buzzed after drinking so I did not say anything. Read more
