Customer Reviews

"I had to make a run to the vets office with my cat this morning and had to skip breakfast so I slid into the Whistle Stop Grill for breakfast. I got the Pool Room with two Med fried eggs, fried baloney,potatoes, and a biscuit with sausage gravy on the potatoes. Everything wS perfect except the eggs which were over cooked and I even made sure to ask the server if they could cook over medium eggs and she assured me they could but it was not to be. People ask Why don't you send them back and the problem with that is the rest of the food gets cold while you are waiting for them to cook the eggs over again, so I just the eggs . Next time I will order them over easy and see what happens. The service was fantastic and the coffee was good and hot just the way it should be. Next time when I go back to try lunch I will get the hamburger steak with two sides cause the steak is 8 ounces!"

"Great breakfast. The restaurant had two large tables of 6+ people and the staff was in high gear! Nice to see staff that is working hard for the customers! Ordered the "Train Wreck" and it was delicious. Keep up the good work. Hope to visit again!"

"This is a great local greasy spoon (meant in the best way). Both people in my party got burgers, and we reflected that they tasted like 5 Guys burgers! The decor highlights the town and feels like you could get stories about each item if asked. I look forward to going back."
