Fred’s Ice Cream

Fred’s Ice Cream is a longtime Marion favorite serving classic dairy bar fare and generous portions of soft-serve ice cream. The menu features burgers, coney dogs, and Fred’s unique takes on sloppy joes and shredded chicken, along with a variety of frozen treats. Owners Bryan and Veronica Dooley have carried on the Fred’s tradition since 2014, keeping many of the original recipes, including the popular homemade orange sherbet. With its friendly atmosphere, drive-thru service, and nostalgic small-town charm, Fred’s is a seasonal stop worth adding to any Marion County visit.
