“This Whitey is literally the best location and it’s even better because they have a drive-through. The people working the counter are running their tails off trying to make sure that everyone is taken care of even on a night like tonight when it is cold and like 20° out, they still had a super long drive-through line and people waiting inside. The Customer Service is unmatched and honestly when we visit it feels like you are first priority and top priority there. We ended up getting the strawberry malt and it is a huge win in our books, especially with the malt flavor and the huge strawberries inside. We were visiting home and whenever we do, we always go to Whiteys as there’s never better ice cream than this. It truly is the best in the Midwest.

Vegetarian options: They do have non dairy options

Dietary restrictions: They have non dairy and sherbet

Parking: Plenty of free parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid and family friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: They have wheelchair accessible entrance“

“Whitey’s is the place to be—hands down, no debate. If you’re visiting the Quad Cities, it’s basically a rite of passage to stop here. From classic scoops to creative shakes, they truly do it all.

If you’re just going for a scoop, the White Chocolate Raspberry is a can’t-miss—it’s smooth, sweet, and perfectly balanced. But if you’re feeling adventurous, go for one of their shakes. My top picks? The Lemon Bar Shake, Pineapple Upside Down Cake Shake, or the Turtle Shake. You really can’t go wrong.

This isn’t just the best ice cream in the QC—it’s easily some of the best ice cream anywhere. Whitey’s knows what they’re doing, and they do it with flavor, heart, and Midwest charm.“

“Froyo bars can really be hit or miss. Peachwave is definitely a hit!

We 100% prefer Peachwave to other, closer froyo bars. Why? It's cleaner. Like, way cleaner. You get to put your own toppings on, including syrups. The toppings are better (e.g., hot fudge vs chocolate syrup). The flavors are great. The staff is friendly. And the prices are still super reasonable.

Whenever the timing lines up and Peachwave is open while we're nearby, we stop in for at least 4oz of deliciousness.“

“I called late Thursday afternoon for a blizzard cake. The size and flavor I wanted was not available but they said they could have it ready the next day by 11am. The website says to allow 48 hours for orders. The blizzard cake was ready and had the birthday writing I asked for. When I picked it up the service was fast and friendly.“

“Great butter burgers, fries, and hot sandwiches. The frozen custard is delicious and freshly made with your choice of mixins to make yummy concretes. Order at the counter & your food is delivered to your table, or use drive-in or pickup.“

“I love Culver's! Cheese curds, butterburgers, the cheese fries! Never had an issue with anything but the cheese sauce. How much do you pay for cheese sauce and I got half a containers full? Second time. I want the cup full, not half for that price. Otherwise, good food....You buy cheese sauce, check it before you take off....“

“Brought our dogs for their 10th Bday to get Pup Cups. They're always very nice.“
