Whitlow's Forerunner

Whitlow's is a time capsule.

If you like Russ' you will enjoy this place. The servers took great care of us and the food came out pretty quick for Sunday at dinner time.

My wife got a cheeseburger which tasted like a cheeseburger, no complaints.

I got fried perch, and this is what I'd come back for. I don't know that I've had better perch in the area and I really enjoy fried fish. If you're looking for some good fried food in an old school environment, you can't go wrong here.

Also, they still have a salad bar. How many places still have a salad bar? Not many.

Your grandpa probably loves this place. Family friendly. Don't bring somebody here if they would be offended by taxidermy because they will be very offended.

Great place for some comfort food! Loved my 1/2 pound burger and everybody else’s food looked great too. Nice staff and cool setting. Feels very welcoming and homey. I would highly recommend and will be back in the future!

Had the BEST experience here tonight. Our waitress was Wendy. She was AMAZING. Super friendly, on point with everything. Anticipated our needs(sauces, drink refills) before we even asked. We will be back sooner rather than later because of her.

Our waitress Wendy was friendly and helpful. The fried fish is very good.
Onion rings and poppers are delicious. Don't forget the pie!

Not fancy but good, simple food! Perch dinner was definitely worth the trip - crispy and good flavor. Burger was fresh made - not pre-formed or frozen. Salad bar was great - fresh and lots of toppings and salads to choose from. Chicken fingers were typical frozen, deep fry as were the fries. Everything came out hot and tasty! Service was excellent, too!

2 young children and 7 adults ( 1 is handicapped) we were seated right away.
Our server was attentive and friendly so were her coworkers that assisted for a minute. The food was hot and fresh. Nice job!!
I was amazed as the dinner rush hit how busy they got instantly. Then I took another bite of my coleslaw , bathed a french fry in bleau cheese dressing. Yum!!
I know now, LoL

The perfect place to eat with family & friends or by yourself. The walleye & fresh water perch are phenomenal.

I like this grill/saloon its oldskool and somtimes oldskool is good and this is one of those places. When Im passing through I like to stop and get The Ruben because is top of the line, my girl got the Chicken sandwich for the 1st ( we both usually get the Rubens) and she said it was fresh and had a nice flavor. Great stop always

There's nothing quite like Whitlows! I've been coming here for as long as I can remember. So much excitement with the display of animals, pinball machine, pool table! The food always is delicious and I highly recommend the stuffed hashbrowns! It's enough to last a few couple meals. If you want good food in a homey, everyone knows everyone friendly atmosphere, Whitlows is where it's at!

Our server Wendy is amazing! Always fun and she knows our orders by ❤.

Great food, I had hot turkey sandwich w/potatoes & gravy. The service was good, but there was only one waitress that I noticed and it was very busy when I was there. I was a solo diner and the waitress was still good about checking on me.

The place was great, went with my family we loved it.

Love the chicken bacon wrap with fries and the ranch is amazing! They also have a great salad bar!

Everything here is delicious! We come here often and the quality and care put into the food and service never fails us, Thank you for being the best 🙏😊😇

Great friendly atmosphere and the service was also great and fast , the staff was very attentive. The perch dinner ( 6 pcs) was delicious as was the steak and perch the others had. The salad bar was fully stocked and delicious 😋. Can't wait to go back 😊.

Always a great place to eat. Enjoy the salad bar...the chips and salsa on burrito night.. out of this world, the dip makes the meal.

Great food and service warm feeling when you enter the restaurant of friendly staff. Definitely recommend

1st time I have been here for Sunday breakfast buffet food was great staff friendly and helpful very nice place I will be a regular here on Sundays now I recommend this place highly
