We have been going here for a while. The other breakfast places around here are nothing compared to whistle stop. The food is always fresh, hot, friendly professional staff and every guest is treated the same which makes us feel comfortable and wecome. I have not had one bad dish everything is great. Their fries are really good too. Keep up the good work. My kids love you guys!

Kid-friendliness: Yes totally kid friendly. They have a kid menu and accomodate to each kid needs.

The Whistle Stop Cafe is an excellent place to grab a quick meal. The food was delivered to the table really fast and was delicious. The wait staff are cheerful and very friendly. Wish they were still open for dinner because that was great too and there are very few little cafe/diner places open for dinner.

Vegetarian options: lots of options

We love supporting our local businesses. We had a great experience today. The service was outstanding. Our waitress wore a braid and I wish we had gotten her name but she was fabulous! Truly what a waitress should be all around! Kind attentive suggestive of menu items etc! The food was wonderful. We will be back.

We ordered breakfast and it took over 45 minutes to receive our food. Very expensive for breakfast food. Must say our servicer was very courteous and kind.

A simple restaurant that gets busy around 9:30 on a weekend. You'll likely find yourself in a line if you do get there about 9:30 to 10:00. Dont expect long slow conversations with the wait staff, they are too busy refilling coffee, bussing tables, bringing food, etc. A true hometown diner experience.

Kid-friendliness: Sure

Delicious and generous portions. I got the Hangover Skillet..yum! But I was eyeing my friends stuffed Biscuits and gravy. Next time! Fantastic service, attentive, fun and gave good recommendations

Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance will be tough without assistance due to the steep incline but the restaurant itself is spacious and the restrooms (the ladies, anyway) would have plenty of room to maneuver comfortably
