“"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.”

“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🌮🌭🍔❤️”

“Good food, old fashion service!”

“I’ve lived in Auburn almost 2 years before I decided to try this place for coffee yesterday morning. I got a caramel macchiato that was hot and delicious so I went back this morning to try the hazelnut mocha and it’s also yummy. I will be back!”

“Outstanding service which rivaled the terrific food! Our only complaint was portions were so large we couldn't possibly finish! What a great out of town gem❤️”

“If you're vacationing in Auburn, this is a must visit attraction. The ambiance is unique and friendly. You'll be comfortable from the first ice cold sip of your last drink. The servers are the nicest people you'll ever encounter. Don't forget to order a pizza prepared to perfection on site. If you get cabin fever, no worries, they have an outdoor gathering area fit for a king, but will be a delightful oasis for you and your party. Whatever you do, don't end your time in Auburn without experiencing this gem of a watering hole. You might just decide to stay.”
