Homewood Grill

Super cute place and staff on duty the night i went in back in august were great, patient, and helped suggest items. Came here after dinner and happy I did! Highly recommended if in the area for yummy ice cream treats!

Accidentally stumbled up on this little gem searching for a quick bite on the road trip home. This place is great! The ladies inside were great. The food was delicious and plentiful. Prices are fair. And although we weren't able to get any ice cream because we were 4 hours from home it looked amazing! I would highly recommend!

I only got the mini ice cream cone but it was delicious! The amount was perfect to soothe my sweet tooth. I tried the cake batter frozen yogurt and I highly recommend it in any size.

JUNE 2023 update: STILL WONDERFUL- and now much better location! Cute new place, shaded outdoor seating, not far off interstate for those traveling and STILL live French fries, beef burgers, ice cream and shakes! Best sloppy Joe and French fries EVER!... weeeelll and did I say GREAT ICE CREAM AND SHAKES ALSO?? Wonderful fun and food overall

The coney dog was very tasty! I would highly recommend trying it if you decide to eat at Homewood Grill. #bucketlist

This is a top notch ice cream shop!!
The kid working behind the counter was really nice and helped me and my kids pick out our order! The menu is awesome and the prices were really affordable! Can't wait to go back the next time we are in the area!

Takes some time to get waited on because they get swamped with customers who know great food is worth the wait.

Nice "new" larger building now with a drive-through and a larger parking lot. Food and ice cream still is some of the best in town.

The food can be a little pricey for certain things, but not much more than any other fast food restaurant in town. The food here has a much better quality and taste since it is made to order and not a fast food restaurant.

Definitely a must go to if you are traveling in, through or passing by Effingham, IL!

The hand scooped ice cream is amazing! So glad we stopped by.

I love, love, love their shake n mors and I've tried almost everything on their menu and never been disappointed! Wish they could stay open year round! I'd have a rocky road shake n more every day!!!

This favorite has moved 2 a larger location & has several tables under a roof. There r a few umbrella tables in front of the restaurant that r viewable from the street. Nice coastal feeling on the inside 4 u 2 order any of their items. They offer food options but I know them as a great ice cream place! Once inside it's confusing 2 know where u need 2 go 2 place an order & where do u wait 4 your order because inside is filled w/customers. This happens when it's nice or hot outside. And believe me, they do come! Maybe a number system wud help like at a deli counter.
There r no tables 2 eat inside although there is room 4 some. But they do have restrooms inside. Their parking lot is HUGE. The workers r very nice & kind and they work their butts off!

My friend and I stopped in for a quick lunch while we were in Effingham. We were very happy with our choices of a cheeseburger for her and a tenderloin for me. Both came with fries which were among the best I've ever had. My only complaint - and it's one I have about a lot of restaurants - is that the only choices of diet drinks are a cola, unsweet tea, or water. As a diabetic who doesn't care for colas and gets tired of tea, it's disappointing.

Went to the new location it's super cute. Very clean and organized. We enjoyed our 2 small cones, but it was 9 dollars, so it will probably be a treat from time to time.

Amazing! Food was great, line was quick and the workers seemed so friendly, just sad that it closed down for the season.

Super friendly staff. Good shakes and ice cream. I will give my money to local businesses faster than a chain like DQ. I will definitely be back. Thanks for your hard work Homewood Grill.

Love the ice cream. They have a coffee ice cream...in a mocha sunday... Amazing! My husband loves butter pecan. The ice cream scoop or soft-serve is excellent. They do make everything for you while you wait. Love this place. I highly recommend it.

Only complaint is cups are very small. Not much ice cream for the price, got order wrong a couple tomes

Great place for either food or ice cream!!

Homewood Grill has been around as long as I can remember. It has been a yearly ritual that I stop at least once every season, even though I have long since moved from the area. They are only open for part of the year which can make it more difficult. They have amazing vanilla custard. They make their own hard ice cream as well.

Best ice cream and French fries in town. Seriously, how do you have the best French fries? They're so good...
