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.

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

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!

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

We stopped here with the kids on the way home from vacation and had a very pleasant dinner. Food was good for a diner, atmosphere was friendly and there were interesting animals to see that kept my kids occupied. But the service was the best I’ve had in a very long time. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Steve was incredible and made our experience so great after a long day. I wish more restaurants had this kind of service and care.

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!

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

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 😊.

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.
