4.0 of 5 stars.
This place reminds me of Walt Disney World circa 1985. It's like Americana, but instead of a "vintage" or "historical" Americana...it's kinda like a "run down" Americana atmosphere. For instance,...

My mother remembers going here with her father as a child. They've been around for 74 years. and the "homey and quaint" is teetering on the edge of "run down". While some of the employees are...

Nice place to drop in for dessert after visiting Ravinia. That assumes you're headed south from Ravinia afterwards. The ice cream is tasty and rich and not overly sweet. We had peach and coconut....

Homer's still has just about the best classic ice cream I've ever eaten. It is DELICIOUS in every flavor, and the line usually isn't too long for an ice cream cone. You can also order the ice cream in...
