Delicious and affordable, homemade ice cream! Charming old building and gardens plus playground in the back. Perfect outing for families!

We found Pekadill's years ago, and it's now a must-visit each year as we return on vacation. Their soups and breads are top-notch- everything super fresh. The outdoor garden and dining area is lush, and full of shady spots to wait for your order to be brought to you. Interestingly, our family has not skipped a beat here as the kids have progressed from hot dogs to cool sandwiches with alfalfa sprouts. The one constant has been the ice cream, which is as good as noted in other reviews. There is also a sugar-free option and sherbet, for those who prefer. read more

They put so much effort into not only their food but also the garden and landscape with outside searing.. Highly recommend!

We searched yelp to find a good lunch spot in the area to enjoy on our way north to a park on the lake. Pekadill's sounded promising and it did not disappoint. In fact, it was even better than we expected. The building itself is quaint and attractive. The front is decked out like a vintage ice cream parlor and serves West Michigan's own Hudsonville ice cream. The sandwich menu is fairly extensive, with nearly 40 sandwiches and several salad and soup options. Since it was a beautiful day, we decided to skip the indoor dining rooms and head out back to the patio. We were delighted to find a beautiful and interesting garden with tables tucked here and there. After a short wait our food arrived at our table, and it was delicious. Our lunch companions made several comments about the lovely spot and the great tasting food. Both the breads and fillings were good quality, though the bagged chip selection was a little underwhelming. As an alternative, Pekadill's offers "hot apples" on the side, which we're interested in trying on a cooler day. We'll definitely be back when we're in the area. read more

Pekadill's is a great little old fashioned deli in the beautiful, small Lake Michigan resort town of White Hall, MI. They have great sandwiches and ice cream, and a wonderful garden patio area for outside dining. My wife used to eat here as a child in the early 1990s while in dock on boating trips. She says nothing has changed, and when you're there it does feel a bit like going back in time. read more

What's not to love in this quaint restaurant offering delicious sandwiches, soups, and salads. AND it's an ice cream store AND sells awesome BBQ too. Everything is delicious and served in a timely manner. I can't order anything but the 'Sueben' because it's my all-time favorite reuben sandwich. Eat in the beautiful garden if you get a chance! read more

The ice cream is good, but what makes this place special is the beautiful garden in the back -- what a lovely and relaxing place in which to sit while enjoying a frozen dairy treat. Also - my niece requested M&Ms on her ice cream, and the candies were crushed up, which made them even tastier! read more

This restaurant has great, great sandwiches & soup! I absolutely love their tuna and I also love the beef & bird! I never had soup I didn't like and the chili is phenomenal! My grandkids love the ice cream but I have to have sugar-free, or Dole whip which they really don't have any of that. You'll love the owners, John & Sue and the girls working there are all sweet too. Stop in for a visit. You will not be disappointed! read more

My husband and I were just passing thru town and decided to give this place a try. We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the sandwiches were. Even the gluten free bread was tasty! We really enjoyed the outdoor atmosphere in the garden and wish we had the kids with us. They would have really liked it! read more

Off the beaten path and so worth it. Lovely outside patio filled with huge perennials, annuals , a fountain with koi. Yummy sandwiches & good kid options, GF bread too & delicious homemade coleslaw like no other. Seriously they have the cutest patio ever. read more

Very good ribs and ice cream. Wish we would have thought ahead and brought in a cooler with beer or wine to enjoy with dinner!

This place feels like Michigan. Cute ice cream shop with space inside or outside to enjoy sandwiches, soup, ice cream, etc. We came after dinner for ice cream but look forward to going back. Perfect spot to pick up sandwiches to take on the lake. read more

This is one of my favorite places in Whitehall! I love their sandwiches and the soup is to die for!! My favorite soup is the Wisconsin Cheese! In the summer you can sit outside in their garden while enjoying a huge ice cream cone. Or - if it's snowy and cold outside, sit in the dining area in front of the wood stove while eating your soup in a bread bowl. read more

They have great sandwiches. The staff is friendly and the garden area out back makes for a enjoyable lunch when it's nice out.

We recently made a move to Whitehall and kept driving by this place and my husband and I were so eager to try it! I'm so happy we did! Their sandwiches are amazing and their hot apples and macaroni salad....oh I could eat them all day! The staff is super friendly too read more

Cute place, good selection of sandwiches. Quick and efficient. They give u a lot of meat with your sandwiches. They have a little ice cream store on the premise which was nice. read more

Go here! We were just passing through and decided to try Pekadill's. We both tried a cup of the chicken dumpling soup and agreed that it was very good, almost as good as my granny used to make. They have a good sandwich selection/salads/soups/hotdogs along with ice creams that looked wonderful. The half sandwich with the soup was great on a cold day and more than enough food. Service is deli style, order at the counter get your food and pay at the end. Two more dining areas at the back one with a good toasty stove. Staff is friendly and the place is kept clean I will be adding this place to our stop when traveling north. We almost settled for a place closer to the middle of town, I'm so glad we stuck it out and ended up at this place. I gave them 4 stars because it is very good I reserve 5 stars for exceptional. read more

Good food and great old building. We went this past fall and enjoyed a great afternoon sitting out back in their beautiful garden.

French dip is the goodness. 3 other ppl eating and not a bad bite to be had. Really nice outdoor dining area and just all n all a must stop.

I've been coming here for years and it's always the same - great food and atmosphere! Can't think of a bad sandwich I've gotten there and the garden in back is lovely. read more

Best sandwich I've ever had besides my own. great soups you can sit outside in garden area.

Big sandwiches and an awesome garden to eat it in. A must go to if you like sandwiches.

Sandwiches and homemade soups are AMAZING! Sides are also very good. Even with their 4" sandwich meal, you get more food than a person should eat in one sitting. Ambience and service are also very good. I have also used their catering for corporate events at multiple employers . . . always fantastic. Highly recommended local treasure. read more

Great place in a quiet little town. Staff are go getters! Keep up the good work! We really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and the weekend grill features they offered! read more

Pekadill's has amazing sandwiches. You can customize any sandwich and the garden patio is awesome. Great local eatery.

I was at the Babbitt's Christmas Party that was catered by Pekadill's last night. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted great. They did a great job of making the Party a very nice occasion. \ The dishes they presented were a very nice salad and scalloped potatoes and barbecue ribs and chicken and a great dessert of Apple pie or brownies. read more

Established in 1983 along the picturesque shores of White Lake, Pekadills hand crafted soups, sandwiches and salads are sure to bring delight to your tastebuds. read more

Pekadill's - The oriental chicken salad size is gargantuan :) - Soup Near Me - Whitehall, Michigan

Nice sandwiches, huge menu to choose from. It gets busy so get there early if you want to sit in their nice garden area. I hope they consider creating another bathroom as one for that large of a restaurant is just too small. Their ice cream was good too! read more

Incredible food and ice cream, beautiful garden area to sit in, and fast, friendly service! Loved it!

We've eaten here twice in the last 2 weeks. First night was sandwiches, which were first rate. The Hudsonville ice cream for dessert was also excellent. The second trip, we hit Saturday chicken and ribs night. The ribs are barbecued on site and are fabulous. Cheesy potatoes on the side were also great. Make sure your sit in the gardens. They're beautiful and relaxing. read more
