“ Great food. Pork tenderloins are amazing and so are the home cut fries. Definitely a old school feel and charm of a restaurant ”
“ The Igloo had been serving almost 100 years! The pork t, fries & chili are legendary. Always a friendly vibe. ”
“ Friendly sandwich shop. The service was awesome. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. The platter included a heaping helping of fresh cut French fries - very tasty. ”
“ I have always loved the Igloo from growing up in LaSalle and attending L-P High School and IVCC!! Parents and siblings also came here during their high school days. Will be coming in soon to get the overall Pork experience! ”
“ Great BIG Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. It so big that it just about covers my whole face!! The French fries are so good that I could just eat them by themselves. Grilled cheese and soup are so comforting on a cold winter's day. The service is always friendly whether for dine in or pick up. I have been eating there for a long time now and will continue to do so. It's a Great Diner experience from the Good Old Days. ”
“ Amazing service, treats every customer like they are a food critic. Made sure everything was perfect, extremely fast service, outstanding quality! The owner even introduced himself to me and waited on me. A must "go-to" if you are in the area. They are definitely on my "Top" list for the area. ”
“ I drive out from Chicago just to go to the Igloo. It's my favorite place to stop at when I visit the Illinois Valley. Pork Tenderloin sandwich with cheese, ketchup, extra pickles is to die for. Gotta get a cup of Rav's and broth with a Papya drink. Grab a tie die shirt on the way out. Support your local businesses. Can't wait to be back! Much love, Mae from the Valley ”
“ We got food to go from here (ate in our car, though they currently have some dine-in; it's just a pretty small space) while in Peru. Very tasty! A single burger was almost slider sized so if you're hungry get a double, or a couple. Onion rings were perfectly crispy and the onion didn't slide out when you bite! My friend got a bbq sandwich and fries which she enjoyed. Best part: homemade root beer!! I was glad to see in the kitchen that all staff seemed to be wearing their masks appropriately, and the two ladies we interacted with were very friendly. Would stop in for another root beer if i am in town again! ”
“ I've been going to the Igloo for the past 40 years and it's a true gem! Service is great and fast ! I've loved the pork tenderloin sandwiches for as long as I can remember. Hoping that I will continue visiting the igloo for the next 40 years!! ”
