About the Menu

The menu at Whitlow's Forerunner reflects its straightforward, family-friendly atmosphere with classic American fare served in generous portions. You’ll find a variety of comforting dishes that suit any time of day—from hearty breakfasts featuring farm-style omelettes to satisfying sandwiches and fresh seafood dinners.

Many visitors enjoy starting with a crisp salad from the well-stocked salad bar or warm soups and sides like loaded baked potatoes and tater tots. Main courses often include fresh lake perch prepared in multiple ways, including the popular perch and fries or a perch dinner paired with mashed potatoes. For those looking for something hearty and familiar, options like the 1/2 lb cheeseburger, patty melt, or a farmer’s omelette fit naturally into the casual, welcoming setting.

The menu’s casual vibe pairs well with the welcoming service and unpretentious ambiance of the restaurant. Whether stopping by for a relaxed lunch or a family dinner, guests can expect food that feels like home-cooked comfort without any fuss.
