We came here after our subway lunch. The place looked immaculate and brought back memories of friendlys ice cream in New England. We didn't have time to decide and just picked what we saw picture rather than read the full flavor list on board. Anyways nice server gave us free strawberry ice cream when we changed mind last minute so great service. No tables or chairs which was bummer so just brought over ice cream to subway to eat. read more

When you need a cup o joe in ice cream form... Whitey's has been on my list to visit for years and I've seen many online comments saying that if you are in the Quad Cities, you need to try it out. Well, after an incredibly long day, ice cream sounded good before I hit the interstate home. Luckily there was one along the way and I pulled over for some sugary goodness. I walked in and was instantly greeted by stark white and the smell of cleaner. This place was clinically white and smelled like a recently cleaned hospital room. I quickly got in line and ordered a 2 dip cup of joe espresso in a waffle cone. The guy making my cone actually dropped the entire cone into the bucket and started fresh. I told him that there was no worries. He quickly whipped up a new one and I got to snacking once I took a seat outside. Two dips was a mistake. I didn't know how big the scoops were and let me tell you... 2 dip is an insane amount of ice cream. For $6 and change, it was a good deal but one I couldn't finish. I enjoy every lick and every bite of that ice cream as it was packed full of flavor and tasted just like an espresso but man... was it just a never ending ice cream cone. I rarely don't finish my food but this is one time I had to admit tap out as I didn't feel like going into a diabetic coma on my drive home. I can see why all the online comments were saying you need to try Whitey's. It's the best ice cream I've ever had. Just know that one dip/scoop is fine for a snack, two is enough for a meal, and at three... I can't imagine how hungry you'd have to be for three but it would be worth it for every delicious lick and bite. read more

Whitey's is one of those places that fully lives up to the local hype. Every time I stop in, the service is quick, friendly, and exactly what you'd expect from a classic Midwest ice cream shop. The atmosphere gives off that nostalgic, hometown feel--nothing fancy, just good people serving incredibly good ice cream. The quality is the real standout. Their shakes are thick enough to hold the spoon upright, the sundaes are stacked perfectly, and the flavors always taste fresh. The Banana Split and the Turtle Sundae are personal favorites, but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. They've mastered that balance of rich, creamy ice cream without it feeling overly sweet. Prices are super reasonable, especially for the portion sizes. You definitely get more than what you pay for. It's also one of those places where the workers somehow always seem to be in a good mood, which makes the experience even better. Whether you're local or just passing through Davenport, Whitey's is a must-visit. It's the kind of spot that makes you feel like a kid again--and the ice cream is good enough to justify every single trip. A staple of going out in the Quad Cities. read more

Ice-cold scoop, red-hot gossip: Whitey's stealing the show with their signature Graham Central Station. A flavor so good it deserves its own scandal. Move over Upper East Side - this Midwest ice cream is the real queen bee. You know you love me XOXO, Gossip Girl read more

I always love to do excessive Pinterest-hunting to find fun things to do before trips, and every blog and guide I read pointed me to Whitey's while visiting the Quad Cities. This is THE place to get milkshakes, ice cream, or whatever you need to satisfy your sweet tooth. They do a great job with having a diner-style aesthetic. Think Steak N Shake, but only sweets and WAY better quality. Everyone was friendly here, too. They've got just about every topping and flavor you could imagine, whether you're a plain jane or an adventurous spirit. I tried the chocolate-covered marsh-mellow ice cream and really enjoyed it! There are multiple locations around town, and it's totally worth a stop in! read more

Place was packed but the service was quick. The scoops are HUGE, get one scoop unless you are ravenous for ice cream because it is a lot. We got the Mississippi mud, cookies galore, and pecan praline (don't quote me on the ice cream names). All were yummy, the praline was very sweet, but left us satisfied. This location has great outdoor seating where we enjoyed our ice cream. read more

So glad someone on the plane told me to come here! Got a childs cup of their creamy and delicious mint chocolate chip! Wow! Not super sweet and oh so good! They've been around for 90 years and I see why! They have tons of flavors and allow you to try whatever you are feeling! A must go to when in this area! read more

My daughter has been at a college down the street from Whitey's for three years, and for whatever reason we have never stopped in for ice cream during a visit, even though it was enthusiastically recommended to us. After trying Whitey's, my waist line is glad that we didn't discover their ice cream earlier! I went on an evening and the line was out the door, which seems pretty typical for this place. Whitey's is well staffed with quick and enthusiastic employees, so the line moved quickly, but with enough time for me to labor over my ice cream choice as they had so many delicious flavors posted for the day. Their store is small but clean and bright and the queue runs so well that you never feel cramped once inside the building. It turned out that I was there during their $.99 one scoop cone promotion which contributed to the line, but even so I didn't receive a skimpy cone - it was huge which I appreciated. I tried the chocolate peanut butter revel which was delicious - it had a nice balance of flavors with plenty of brownie bits throughout. However, I couldn't stop thinking about their seasonal Key Lime Pie flavor so of course I had to go back to get a cone for the drive home. It was just like eating a slice of pie - tangy lime flavor with nice chunks of graham cracker - it made me wish I'd ordered a double scoop! Just writing about it makes me think that it's time to go visit my kid again! Their website it really well-done--just hover over a picture of the "scoop" of ice cream you're interested in and it will show a full description of the flavor profile. This is what I used when I was in line to decide on my order since you can't really see the ice cream until you are at the front of the line. read more

FINALLY Whitey's has added a dairy-free flavor!!! I was so excited to try my first Whitey's this afternoon. Their drive-thru process during the pandemic is super quick and easy, even when there was a decently long line. Right now, their only dairy free flavor is mint chocolate. It was super creamy and very minty. Though I wish it was a little more chocolatey, I'm just thrilled to be able to enjoy Whitey's. read more

Ice cream: stunning array of choices, absolutely delicious. Staff: polite if a bit robotic. Building: eerily like your nan's house that hasn't been updated ever. Parking: ample Getting a cone when it's 97 degrees outside: bad idea, better get a bowl! My favorite flavor was the banana graham. Espresso (with chocolate pieces) was great too, and my husband loved his key lime. read more

So much ice cream for such a great price!! I throughly enjoyed a Hot Fudge Boston. My shake flavor was graham central station adorned with a vanilla hot fudge sundae. So so yummy!! The young ladies working weren't too enthusiastic and there were several guests cycling through the doors. Only one of the four girls seemed to know what a smile was. Good thing the ice cream spoke for itself. Whitey's has a ton of unique flavors and the texture of each scoop is perfect for a thick shake. The girls were heavy handed with the scoops, too! If you only like a taste, I'd suggest getting anything kid sized. The Boston's are at least 4 large scoops of ice cream! Perfect for a sweet tooth but overwhelming for a taste tester. read more

Hometown staple!!! Best ice cream in the QCA...I said what I said!!! Now with COVID-19 you can only purchase ice cream curbside. Which was convenient as it was hot and my lazy self didn't want to wait in a crowd of people. I placed my order for myself, my two nieces and their three children. The only photos I could acquire were mine and my great nephew. Everyone else disappeared once they got their ice cream...LOL!!! They're greedy... 8^) My treat of choice one scoop of butter pecan & one scoop of Graham central station. AWESOME as always....my great nephew had one scoop of cotton candy. read more

Oreo cheesecake yogurt is worth every penny. Season Red Velvet Cake is a winner as well.

So the experience I had today at Whitey's was quite delightful. They have locations all over the Quad City areas. So they have a great variety of ice cream which made it very hard to choose just one flavor. I ended up getting the Praline Pecan and Graham Central Station( graham cracker flavor ice cream with graham cracker pieces. So the employee told me that the Graham Central Station was their number one seller which I'm not quite sure why because it was just ok, but the Pecan Praline which he said they have been making for years was delicious almost perfect lol. I got both flavors in a waffle bowl, which was the perfect amount of crispy. Usually some waffle cones/bowels fall apart very easily when holding ice cream but this one was very dependable and sturdy and went perfect with the ice cream. The staff was very friendly and I wish I had this place in all over America. I will definitely be going back again. They also sell their ice cream in grocery stores here and have take away pints and gallons within the store along with ice cream pies. They sell merchandise and many other things from milkshakes/malts to sundaes. read more

So, many have been telling me for over a year that I had to hit this place. I'm sorry I waited so long. I was told the ice cream is an institution. It does not disappoint. We had key lime w graham cracker that wasn't soggy and key lime that actually tasted like fresh key limes - not some artificial flavor. The strawberry cheesecake was excellent. So good. I will eat a bit less at dinner the rest of the week to save room for a scoop for dessert! read more

A Quad Cities must. Wether you have to wait 5 minutes or 30 minutes it's all worth it. The staff is always great & have smiles on their faces. People should really tip the workers because they are working their butts off & making sure your orders are correct. I tip them every time & just to see the pride on their face is worth it. They never are rude or look overwhelmed even when the line is out the door. We go to the one on Locust & Marquette 95% of the time. The other 5% is if we're over in Moline & hit the drive thru that the Whiteys on 41st offers. Same results their. Awesome kids & it's great to see them no matter what location working their 1st job or knowing that they are appreciated. The banana split in a cup with pecans instead of the mixed nuts is a MUST & you can thank me later. It's all good no matter what you get. read more

The ice cream was phenomenal! We had the pumpkin shake, fudge brownie shake, and the Reese peanut butter cup shake. All of them were delicious in their own way.

Whiteys is an absolute staple for the QC! I love their pumpkin pie blizzards during the fall!
