Brain Freeze – 535 E Milwaukee St.
Brain Freeze is a hidden gem of downtown Whitewater due to the American comfort food, race car themed seating, as well as a backyard cozy feel. This restaurant is small and sometimes overlooked due to it being a little bit farther than downtown and closer to the highway, but that should not stop you from visiting. You can get a burger, to mac & cheese bites, to chili fries, to chicago dogs, all the way to dipped cones and root beer floats. Not to mention that everything is typically under $6, this a great stop for a midday snack or an ice cream date. There are two dining rooms as well as an outdoor area to sit with old fashioned car posters and a checkered background. I had never been here until after I went frolfing with my friends and we all fell in love with this place as a cheap place to each! This place is definitely old fashioned because the menus are paper and the employees wear the white coats as if they were a dairy producer. They are mostly well known for their ice cream cones that are only $1.80! On a college budget this is a perfect place to go with friends, on a date, or with a family for a sweet or salty treat. They do not deliver and it is for a good reason, looking inside the restaurant is so cool and very old fashioned, going inside is for sure a part of the experience. This is a place for all ages and will not break the bank, but will for sure leave you with a smile.

Brain Freeze is very good. I’ve only had it a couple times. I did an advertising campaign for them a couple years ago. Definitely need to go back!
