The Whip

The food is fantastic. The décor is dated, an understatement, but has charm in how old it is. The service was friendly and well-​paced. Several of us had the chicken and dumplings soup, which was excellent. The dumplings had to be homemade. The chili dog was just outstanding. I’ve enjoyed quite a few from different places, and this chili dog is really good — the chili is just right for a hot dog, meat and beans seasoned nicely. The chocolate milkshake, handmade was terrific too. Can’t wait to go back!

Took the family to The Whip this evening for din din. We were seated immediately as the place wasn’t full. I was expecting a long-​standing establishment such as this to be busy on a Friday night. Our waitress was friendly and she quickly took our drink orders. I ordered a root beer and liver and onions for dinner, which came with a salad. Actually, I let my daughter order for me, and she chose liver and onions. It was pretty good… all liver tasting and such. I haven’t had liver and onions since I was a kid, but it appeared to have been cooked well. It was a thin slice, I’ll bet, because liver has a strong iron flavor. I finished it, but I probably won’t let my daughter order liver and onions for me anywhere again. I’m hoping I got some kind of health benefit from it. I got a side of mashed potatoes, which came with gravy too. They were tasty.
No beer — bummer. The side salads could use a little sprucing up too. We sat next to the pay phone, which not only works, but they use it. There were at least two incoming calls while we were there that the waitress took while leaning over our booth. Interesting, but not unusual in a 76-​year stronghold.
My family said their food was good. The meal went pretty quick, which was nice because we wanted to get home for the Cavs game! I’ll be back to taste the pierogies.

This is an old style greasy spoon diner. The restaurant doesn’t look like its been updated since they added push buttons to pay phones! The décor is right out of 1971 with red vinyl table cloths. It might be worth the experience to see this place, but I think I’ll pass on coming back. Their are plenty of other places that are better for the buck.

First time here. It’s like going to grandmas. Old fashioned but good food! Had the stuffed peppers and it was delicious. Service was good. Only reason I didn’t give a 5 star is I think they use salad fresh as the salad had a funny taste.

BRAVO!. they have certainly cleaned up their act. the patch repair on the ceiling could use a bit more touching up but overall a huge improvement. great work!. now I am back to enjoying their food as I always did. tip: their home made chicken + dumpling soup served on Wednesdays is not to be missed!

It takes a lot for me to post a derogatory review of a restaurant, but the public (as well as the owners) need to know. This was the worst meal I’ve ever had, ever. Ordered the ribs, they were leather and ketchup/​lowest tier sauce in the world poured over top. The salad was iceberg lettuce, that’s all, just iceberg. The bread was days old. The homefries came in a bath of butter. According to my 8 yr old son, they seemed to have made a decent pancake however, so there’s that.
There’s a reason the place was completely barren on a Saturday evening… because that night we were the victims.

Great service, fast service and food is consistent on a day by day schedule.

Hardly worth the 1 *. Wife and I will not try this one again. We went in for soup & sandwich. Soup was better than average and homemade. HOWEVER, my egg salad was almost all lettuce. Wife’s grilled cheese had 1 thin slice of cheese. We called it hint of cheese and rumor of egg salad sandwiches. We had visited this restaurant on other occasions and it was OK, but our money is worth more than this futile effort!!! No wonder at 61, we were the youngest in the place!!! TIME FOR A NEW OWNER AND MAKEOVER

Just visited with my kids. It’s been a few years since the last time. I remember it being outdated and needing some cleaning back then. Still true. Ceiling is peeling in places, décor is decades old and tired.
They have their loyal clientele, and on a weekday evening, they had a few tables going. I guess that’s why they aren’t motivated to clean and remodel. Business is going «well enough» I think.
I don’t want you to think it was disgusting. More like — cobwebs in corners and dust on window sills and blinds.
Service was friendly. Value was good. Kids meals are more than fair in quality and price. My hot sandwich was very good.
I’d love to see them remodel and pack the place out. It’s a nice location and has old school charm from the outside. I even think the 1950s wood paneling on the inside has a coziness. We gotta do something about all the vinyl overload. I’m not talking LPs. Walls, booths, blinds, and table covers.

How has this place not been reviewed yet?! Its been there FOREVER and its called the frickin WHIP! Family owned mom-​and-​pop home cookin. Chicken paprikash, salsbury steak. you know the drill. Guess it deosnt have a d-​bag celebrity chef or hasnt been on Food Network yet. Check it out anyway. They dont serve booze so get hammered first!
