The Whippy Dip is a most stop for my family when we are back in NE IA during the summer. My kids even ask to go to Whippy Dip. Very affordable and never disappoints

My mom has been to The Whippy Dip since she was a kid and so I had to try it! It's the cutest old fashioned walk-up ice cream shop! They serve everything from hot dogs to milkshakes! Cannot go wrong.

Long lines mean good food!

This place had lines of people every time we drove past. Must be good, right? We stopped on a Friday night for an evening treat. My wife had a brownie sundae and I had a tornado, which is their version of the DQ blizzard. They had peanut butter M&Ms as an ingredient choice. Yes, please. Cheap prices and delicious ice cream. So good, we came back the next night for more!

Black raspberry shake.

Great little ice cream menu at this place. Came highly recommended by a friend. Good service. A very nostalgic feel.

Local favorite. Recommended by a friend. Appears popular because of long lines but we found the lines were due to super slow service. Took 20 minutes to get served with only 2 customers ahead of us! The owner was behind the line but was doing nothing to help serve. Tasty soft serve but ours will be a "one time only" experience. Go only if you have lots of time to kill.

Visiting The Pearl felt like a summertime classic. You can tell there were many regulars along with…read morenewcomers like us coming to The Pearl. The line moves very quickly, so don't worry when you see it. After about a 10-minute wait, we were so excited to see all of the flavors and the old school interior decor. We ended up getting their seasonal special Banana Blondie on a sugar cone, and it was so good! This was truly some of the best ice cream I had ever had, and it really hit the spot. You can tell the ice cream is made fresh, and you can even see them making the waffle cones as you are waiting on line. Plus, the staff here were all so kind and sweet. Definitely come visit The Pearl if you are in the area! It is definitely worth your while.

We stopped in after a long day of exploring to end on a sweet note. The line was long, which gave…read moreus plenty of time to decide (sort of... I immediately regretted not ordering a sundae - why do i do this to myself) We were on our way in & someone was heading out the door we were coming in. The hubs held the door open for the people exiting & one of the gals working yelled "shut that door". He stated he was just waiting for the couple to exit & she didn't respond - perhaps it's habitually open with people in line & she was fed up. Regardless, it wasn't the best way to start an experience, tho not bad enough to abandon ship. I ordered 2 scoops in a waffle cone. Then saw the sundae - sigh... alas, one scoop would have been MORE than enough. I think they scoop with a bucket. It was creamy & metly & delish - but I couldn't finish it. So, the hubs ended up with 3 scoops and 2 cones. I had 1 scoop & 6 mosquito bites... close the door made so much more sense about now! Absolutely loved the old-time-parlor feel, btw.
