“Good food, old fashion service!“

“"The Italian Beef sandwich is on special," the server said. "It's really good." From the bar, the owner, who was enjoying it for her own lunch, "Oh my gosh--it's so good!!" We both tried it and agreed that they were both right. Excellent food, a beautiful and delicious old school Strawberry Milkshake, great service, and a nice visit with the owners. Well worth whatever trip you make to get here. Highly recommend.“

“Not only was the food amazing, but the staff are so much and personable! Definitely recommend!“

“My sister Billie n I ate at the Whirla Whip while I was visiting from Southern IL. On Wednesday March 25,2026. Figuring it would be a big sandwich her n I split a Philly cheese steak sandwich, breaded mushrooms n corn nuggets n a nice cold Pepsi.The service was great n the food was nice hot n fresh. I compliment to the young lady at the window telling her how great the service was n that I believed it was the best food Id ever tasted n that I was sure to be back. The place was crowded. Some even brought their dogs for a bite of ice cream. I’m from Girard n used to walk there for a corn dog n fries from high school lunch back in the late 70s early 80s . Owned then by a family with the last name of Swift. My mom n dad owned Hubbard Feed Store in Nilwood n at the end of the year my mom n dad would have our bus stop n they paid for a drink n an icecream. The kids really appreciated it n would hang out of the bus windows screaming thank you Mr n Mrs Lake. Even after my school days were over it still remained there. My favorite was a toss up between orange n raspberry sherbet. With all that being said I’m looking forward to another trip home to have the same exact food! Thank you Whirla Whip for your awesomeness. Stay cool😎 Sue Lake Benton IL🌮🌭🍔❤️“

“Friday night walleye is perfect. Mexican Monday is very good too. The pork tenderloin sandwich is also very good.“

“This morning I came in and ordered a few donuts, a iced coffee and started to tear up a little as I ordered my dog's last pup cup. I didn't say anything about putting him down but they knew. When she came back, she told me it was no charge and they would be thinking of me today. I will never forget that kindness and compassion that was shown on what is an extremely difficult day. Scoop has earned a customer for life. Thank you. Tank loved his last treat!“

“We have made this our go-to pizza for Friday night dinner and movie with the family. Always consistent and delicious. We get a large thin crust, a two ply pizza, and an order of garlic cheese toast.“
