Very Very Clean, very bright, friendly atmosphere. Food is good and fresh, Service is wonderful. And ice cream is one of the best I have had in a while. Plenty of parking you can inside or outside. Overall just nice and family oriented. I LOVED IT.
This place is a local institution. The ice cream is great and the hot food is actually really good. Theres always a line but you move quickly through it. No real complaints.
Great service, good price, tasty food. The beef in the triple cheese burger was really good. Friendly attentive employees also. Highly recommend.
Not a fan of their hand scooped ice cream, sometimes it becomes too frozen and icy textured. Soft serve is much better. Food is pretty good. Prices are a little high.
I hadnt been here in years. I ordered 1 Large Chocolate & 1 Extra Large Chocolate/Peanutbutter Milkshake. My total was SEVENTEEN DOLLARS!!!If they were EXCEPTIONAL, DELICIOUS milkshakes I would kinda understand. But these were hardly that. My XL was partially melted when I got it. Which was confusing, considering that there were CHUNKS OF ICE in the Ice Cream. Ill be going back to Dairy Queen or Waltons from now on.Girl at the window was very friendly(& got them the extra star!).
Always loved this place. Amazing food, great service. Based on a visit this week though it seems the service may not be as great as it once was, my food order was sitting out on the counter for about 20 minutes until I asked about it. Never got the side either but I forgot to ask. Mistakes happen. No complaints otherwise, ice cream is still amazing!
This was the first time we actually went inside sat down and ordered food. The inside has sort of a nostalgic feel to it - which I loved. My husband and I both had burgers and agreed that the food was great! AND of course the ice cream was delicious!
I love this small mom and pop throw back. The ice cream is great, and the ambiance is exactly what uou would expect from a small ice cream diner. Theyve really made the effort to keep up with the times and meet the demands of their customers without losing the feel that made them successful in the first place. Go support local!!
Its okay. I know several people who rave about the place, but I like the ice cream from at least a couple of other places better. The food is likewise okay. Not great, not terrible. Honestly this place is way over hyped. If youre nearby, sure go for it. Otherwise go somewhere else.
Ridiculously busy but worth the wait. On a hot summer day, go to white cottage and get your ice cream and frozen yogurts. Theyre really good and lots of flavors to choose from.
Locally owned and delicious! Love their burgers and the ice cream selections are enormous. Fresh new flavors are frequently added to the menu. Great friendly staff as well. HIGHLY recommend making the trip from anywhere in the area to check out this gem.
As Ive said, ice cream is my favorite food group and White Cottage is top shelf. If you are a German Chocolate cake fan, by all means, try their German Chocolate sundae...it starts with butter pecan ice cream and butterscotch syrup and you can imagine the rest. yum yum
Great ice cream! Busy so helps to have an idea of what you want before you reach the counter. Also serves food and Im definitely going back to try some!
Grateful this place is closed. Undone burgers when asked for them well done, condiments were left out of bag so I went back 3 minutes after the closing time and was blatantly ignored, and so much more I could say!
Been here before for ice cream and treats. But today I decided to try the Cottage burger and it was fantastic. Very thick good quality burgers tasty and juicy and not over cooked. Also got a side of fries and cheese sauce, Which I wasnt the biggest fan of the cheese sauce was a little basic but not the worse Ive had for sure. They have great food and great treats alike so it is a great choice no matter what ur after!!!!!!
How adorable is this place? Went there and then had shakes for our drive in movie, perfect date night ☺ and the chicken is really good too!
The ice cream is very good the service is very poor I guess they were kind of busy but didnt seem like it so the experience was very not really good so unfortunately 1st time ever visiting
We stopped for the first time. Had homemade ice cream cones, including no sugar added blueberry. Very good! Will try the food next time as the last at the window raved about their food.
Not nearly as good as “I Scream You Scream” in O’Fallon. Been 3 times now and have been less impressed each time. Plus, I asked the person taking the order about sizes and making sure all the ice cream fit in the cone and somehow I ended up with the towering monstrosity I was trying to avoid? Yeah that’s never enjoyable.
White Cottage is a local favorite. If you dine in, expect the charm of a classic diner with burgers and other sandwiches. And then there is the ice cream... You can order it with a meal, or you can walk up to the window outside and skip straight to dessert. (Try the Cherry Garden!) If it is a hot summer night, expect a line, but they do a good job of keeping it moving.
Sad they were out of lemon custard tonight but the mint chip is good too. Staff is always friendly and the ice cream is delicious.
Love this place! They always get my order right, always have smiling faces, and never take too long. Always pleased :)
Very yummy ice cream and food. Service was great also
I had a root beer float! Very good tasting and worth the wait. They were a bit busy.
I just moved here and was told about White Cottage so I decided to give it a try..... Wow! Hands down awesome.
First time there. Great burgers & they have real ice cream. The girls were great, they were very nice & great customer service.
I LOVE the food! I 100% recommend going, and I have NO complaints!
Love this place. Awesome food and ice cream
5/25/21. Advertised special Carolina BBQ its not! This special was actually grilled chicken breast, not pork,with super smoky and too sweet bbq sauce. Fried cod was freeze dried and over fried. House made chips were undercooked. Ice cream was great! Drop the grill and stay with the chill!
Really good food and ice cream! The environment is cozy like a diner and the staff are really nice!
We absolutely love the White Cottage. Sometimes we drive from New Baden just to go!!❤️❤️❤️
Very good we had sugar free fudge swirl a bit busy only because everyone loves their products.
Best hot fudge sundae and super friendly staff.
Great food,good service,sad to see them closing for the season
Good homemade ice cream. I havent tried the food yet but plan to.
Literally the most delicious homemade ice cream Ive ever had.
The food is great and the place is clean. The person who took our order was very helpful and nice
Food, and Banana splits were great. Service was excellent too.
Amazing. This place has been here for years. Great product, friendly employees.
Great food and service! Note to owners: please put a tip jar on the front counter 🙂
Friendly service, ice cream was great, highly recommend having a waffle cone! Even had a dog bowl in the front, greatly appreciated as we walked our dog there.
Our family loves White Cottage! Delicious burgers, fries and the ice cream is heaven. I highly recommend you try it if you havent and if you have come get more!
Nice Mom&Pop Burger/Ice cream shop in Belleville.
Love this place. I keep going and trying new things each time
Great ice cream, fast service, fair prices
Its a rite of spring to have White Cottage open for the season. Friendly staff, homemade ice cream (including yummy sugar-free) and safe indoor and outdoor seating. Plus, I love their party melts and waffle fries!
Ice cream was great. Service mediocre. Ended up leaving without one of my items because I was tired of waiting after the kids had finished theirs.
We went for lunch. We had cottage Burger & corn dog meals. Everything cooked perfectly. Loved that soda machine was local soda company.
Great ice cream and great service really enjoyed it.
The ice cream was wonderful. The staff was busy but super nice!
Great cod, and food ice cream ect. Love it.
Great ice cream place to take the family. I highly recommend trying the monster.
Amazing food, speedy service. I don’t eat sweets, but the burgers and fried mushrooms are on point. Visited three times in the last two weeks. Yum!
Good ice cream and a great place to end a night after a movie at the nearby theater!
These folks are awesome! Full menu no matter if you just want something sweet or its meal time they aim to please. Honestly the best burger in Belleville. Always fast and fresh. If you never eaten here you dont know what your missing. Just wish they were open year round but hey when youre great at what you do...you can do it when you want to.
Great ice cream, great location.
They have the best ice cream in town. The only con is there is usually a line. This just attributes to how good they really are.
I really enjoyed the ice cream and the shake was great too
Great ice cream and friendly staff!
Pretty good, friendly service, and I arrived unaware of the time, 10 minutes before they closed.
Three generations of my family have gotten excellent ice cream and food here!
Fast, Friendly, Great food taste and awesome ice cream options !
Food was great but they were very unorganized when it came to taking orders. I had someone come in, get their order taken and leave before I had my order taken. I was at the counter and instead of asking who was next, the girl went up to the other people and asked for their order.
Friendly staff, great service and food overall
Great ice cream every time we go. Friendly service.
Good food and ice cream. Old fashioned type feel
Great Ice cream.
Great ice cream and custard. Nice variety of toppings. Food is ok
Everytime I come to this place it never let me down. You know how it for time to time but white cottage never. I atleast go once a week. Thumbs up to you guys
Always good food. Always friendly staff!
They have awesome hamburgers. Each patty is 1/4 pound.Their ice cream though....its to die for. They have so many different flavors, cones, shakes, malts, concretes, sundaes, specialty sundaes and concrete. Banana split...which is huge. They also have a 5 scoop banana split. Thats also have something called a pigs trough, which is 15 scoops of ice cream....great for parties.They also make sugar free ice cream, the flavors change constantly, but they are good.
This is a classic, must visit at least ten times a year, neighborhood feel-good destination. Personally, the malts are the best in Belleville. White Cottage is THE place to go after taking the kids to baseball, soccer, football, etc. practice and games. They have a small staff but are surprisingly fast with their service times. The entire property is very clean. I took my family and my dog here after visiting a couple local parks. There are many tables for outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. They also had a water bowl out for dogs. I brought four of my children with me on this trip. The server was new. I received two incorrect items. She also didnt realize the water for dogs was free of charge. She was still very friendly, as were all of the staff. The manager made my order right, apologizing along the way. I would suspect it is just an onboarding opportunity for improvement. They also sell t-shirts. Get one and represent! This is a must visit destination if you are anywhere remotely close to White Cottage.
I really enjoyed the banana split. The double cheeseburger are delicious
Outstanding concrete! Even better than Ted Drews!
Excellent ice cream, friendly staff.
Best food and the best ice cream ice 🍨. If I could give it a 6 stars I would!!!😋😋😋
One of my local favorites. They have a very family oriented environment and very wholesome employees. Will always be a favorite.
Love this place. Great icecream. Very polite employees
Best ice cream place in belleville!
The family enjoyed the burgers and ice cream!
Very unsatisfactory!! I ordered there BBQ chicken special, i waited 15 mins then went and checked on my order come to find out it was done just sitting there! When i went to eat it everything was cold nothing was hot from sitting then when i asked for a refund all i got was excuses why they couldnt give me a refund! Will not come back to this establishment!!
They have the best homemade ice cream!
We always look forward to the spring so white cottage will open!! You love going here as a family and treating ourselves!
Great place, great people, great food!
The Fudge Brownie sundae is Sooo Good! The icecream is from cream! The brownies are a great compliment to the icecream... Staff was great! Very polite & efficient! Ill definitely be back!!
Philly Cheesesteak and Fried Cauliflower are delicious! Funnel Cake is on point, too.
Love everything about this place ....food .....ice cream ....cant go wrong
This place is great. Ice cream tastes great and they have something for everyone. Also had a burger and even though it was not the best burger ever it would give most places that specialize it burgers a run for there money. Place a large order for 4 people burgers, fried mushrooms, and Sundays and even with them being busy everything was done quickly. Expect a line on a hot summer night but this is definitely worth the wait.
A Belleville classic! We love the experience of visiting White Cottage for both food and ice cream. They have something to make everyone happy!*I do wish they had been more transparent when closing down due to an employee testing positive for COVID*
The service was excellent and the people were very nice and friendly and the milk shake was very good.
Food was good and kids loved ice cream. Will be back.
I remember the ice cream been better. Maybe wishfully thinking.
Wonderful place! Great burgers and ice cream.
Their frozen yogurt is very good...all the ice cream is really. But I really wanted to call out how consistently excellent the service is. The kids that man the window are always- always- friendly and considerate. They work their tails off getting things out quickly. Very well run.
I ordered a BANANA split... they forgot the banana.Seriously?
There is no other. Insist on the original, the best.
Im an ice cream lover. This is a little drive but it is worth it. We (7 of us) all got something different. I had a Coke float. Hadnt eaten one of those in a while. Had it with soft serve vanilla. It was delicious. Everyone loved what they had. We will go back to dine there and get ice cream for dessert 🍨. If you are traveling by stop in.
