Mullin's Drive in — Restaurant in Fox Lake

I would really love to give this place 5 stars. We love going to family owned small ice cream places. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. First it’s a drive in only service. We thought by walking up we could just order at the counter. Instead you have to sit at a table and can only order thru a server so you have to tip. Then we waited 15 min for our ice cream cones and 1 shake. Double cones were ridiculously tiny, as was the shake also. Picture is of the $5 shake. Chocolate shake had the consistency of chocolate milk so I sent it back to have it remade. With how long we waited I’m assuming it was made earlier and melted??? Atmosphere is nice sitting outside but would never go back. It has a cute story that you can read on the menu. It is family owned. Mr. Mullin originally had bought an A&W franchise and turned it into a diner. Mr. Mullin died in 2018 and his daughter owns it now. Wish I could rate it higher. I love the story. Unfortunately we won’t...

Mullin's has always been a destination for many. Travlers use it as it as a halfway point for a food and treat break on the way to and from the lake. Bikers stop in when the are out for a ride. We stop in for a lunch break when doing yard work, painting, etc. Today was our first journey to Mullin's this season. We selected a picnic table in the warm Spring sun. Before our friendly car hop came we were greeted with the wonderful smells of the burgers, onion rings, and other goodies that Mullin's has to offer. We were promptly served the continued quality of food that brings us back year after year. Super clean restrooms, water for your pets, and a few lawn toys for the kids to play, are bonus to your experiemce. Grab an icecream cone for the road. Enjoy the Mullin's drive...

We stopped to grab some easy food. We ordered chicken tenders and my husband ordered also french fries 🍟. Chicken tenders were ok taste. What extremely shock 😲 us, when we saw french fries. It cost 3$ but what we got was hardly to even call french fries. It was in mini paper bag size 3 inches and may be like only few very not tasty pieces of fries. I felt like it was the worst fries we ever had in our life for our money. I also ordered malt for 5$. It was in a small cup, sorry not what I expected for the money, plus taste of the malt was not good at all, warm even. The server was wonderful girl and place had sign it was open in 1934. But I am sure nobody would serve such a poor food at that place in the past. We were very disappointed of poor...
