About The Igloo Diner

The Igloo Diner is an Illinois Valley institution for over 75 years, offering a great old-fashioned diner experience. The food is good and the service is top-notch, with extremely clean bathrooms that smell good. The atmosphere is decent, with a retro design, though some feel the restaurant could capitalize more on its history and nostalgia with old signage and menus. Specific meals praised include the cheeseburger, pork, hand cut fries, and a shake good for dunking fries. The September special beer cheese nachos are a MUST TRY and fantastic. The hand made fries are delicious, and the root beer has vanilla hints that play together nicely. The Mac and cheese bites were enjoyed, and the pork parm meal (monthly special) was ok. However, the chili has been inconsistent, described as a watery soup with onions floating on top, needing some tweaks. Overall, The Igloo is a great place for families, with friendly people, and a real American cheeseburger that can't be beat.

Great, old school diner. Places like this are why we moved out of the city. The food was good and the people there are very nice. Will be going back again, hopefully for years to come. ☺

Today was my first time here. I came with 2 others who also were 1st timers! I had a delicious (and mountainous ⛰️) taco salad 🥗. Made with REAL ground beef and piled high with their house dressing. My tiny friend had the Fish 🐟 Sandwich 🥪 plate (home-made fries & small house salad 🥗). While, my Purple Loving 💜 friend had a Double Cheeseburger 🍔 w/ bacon 🥓. I just want to add that the service was TOP TIER, the patrons were friendly, and the food was worth...read full review
