Basic looking but it works and the stuff comes out. With the prices not that bad it's cool it's combined with high quality. Crowds gather when it gets warmer such as the afternoon we came. It's also across the street from Hegeler Park. That's where youth leagues play baseball and other sports. As one can imagine it gets quite a lot of kids. They have plenty for them and plenty for adults as well. A few non dairy choices. It's about $3 for a cup of Dole Whip. A healthier alternative. There's a few rotating flavors including strawberry. Plenty of sugary things of course. They have the classics like banana splits and parfaits. Great place to go when it gets hot. It's located at the intersection of St. Vincent and Lindberg. They're one of those ice cream places that closes for winter.

I was stopping for a Raspberry Shake after an interesting series of soccer games in DePue. I made my order, and their person who was making all the soft serve, shakes, sundaes, and what not, got to mine in around 5 minutes. By the way, as I pulled in, the drive through was SLAMMED with cars blocking the parking lot there were so many. There was constant work going on, and everyone of the staff was cheerful and helpful.

Everyone here was so friendly - and even though this is very much a "local" spot we felt completely welcomed. When they found out that we were from out of town they immediately asked us if we wanted a picture outside with Papa Burger and one of the waitresses enthusiastically led us outside for photos.

Just a heads up that it is a cash-only spot, though they do have an ATM on-site if you need it. The service was quick and incredibly polite from start to finish. Food-wise, the burger was fairly plain but was cooked well, and the fries had a great texture and crunch even if they were a bit bland on seasoning. The side salad was essentially just chopped lettuce, but it was noticeably crisp and fresh. Overall, it is a fun, nostalgic pit stop with friendly service if you are looking for a quick bite.

Omg! If you like an Italian beef sandwich, this is the place to go. As a former Chicagoan, a place…read moreknown for its beef sandwiches, I will admit to being a beef sandwich snob, so I am always hesitant to eat one locally because it usually disappoints. Not this time! The Igloo italian beef not only matched but beat any one I have ever had. The beef was tender, the football shaped bun was toasted to perfection as well as the cheese on top and the au jus wasn't salty and had great flavor. It was the perfect addition to the sandwich. A great glass of root beer topped off the meal. While the price is in the higher side it was worth every penny. Igloo, when I get a hankering for an Italian beef sandwich, you are my new go to. Go try one, you will not be disappointed.

It was clear how much everyone trusted each other to make for a seamless customer experience. I ordered the jalapeño margarita to start, which paired beautifully with the chips and salsa provided. The heat and sweetness were perfect to get my taste buds warmed up. For my main, it was recommended I try the quesabirria tacos. The brisket was tender and juicy, and I had to remind myself to slow down and savor because I was quickly gobbling it up and ignoring my margarita. As I slowed my eating, I took note of the beautiful decor around the restaurant, particularly the bar area that is so perfectly designed for the space. I will definitely return to the restaurant during my next visit to try even more of their menu items (plus a few more cocktails)!
