Jan R: Pleasant Step Back

Great place to enjoy an ice cream or a meal. Pleasant surprise to find what appeared to be a local “mom and pop” ice cream stand. As we waited in line while families enjoyed the wait. Reminded me of a time gone by.

Leanne D: A Classic Treat With A Nostalgic Feel

Classic feel with ice cream treats and snacks. Generous portions and nice staff. Seasonal- summer time only. There are picnic tables out front.

Lmb927: This Place Was Recommended

We both were very happy to try it and it didn’t disappoint. My husband had the double cheeseburger and onion rings with a banana milk shake and I had a cheeseburger and fries. I also indulged in a whizzer- banana pudding with caramel. ? Yum!!!

Carrie N: Decorah's Go To For Ice Cream!

Whippy Dip is my favorite ice cream shop. It is the go to for soft serve and any kind of mix-in creation. The cookie dough tornado is my favorite! It includes real cookie dough. The dipped cones are also great, but messy, especially on a hot day.
