Outstanding restaurant that serves home cooked comfort food and delicious baked goods! My friend and I happened to be passing through Glendale and found this gem. Great shrimp & grits, and the pork chop was great. The coconut meringue pie and sugar cream pie were fantastic! Everyone there was so nice : )

Stopped for lunch and to take in the history, food was amazing. Husband and I had the Kentucky Hot Brown and Open Faced Roast Beef. Great Quality of food and Quantity for your money. We both had lunch for under $40 🚂

I don't think they need any help but I just wanted to post my review. We went for my mother-in-law's birthday August 24, 2025 and it was just absolutely amazing. The food was 🤤 DELICIOUS . I just don't know how to explain it. It was like I'm speechless about how good it was and you got a lot of food and it was just so such a great atmosphere. It reminded me of kind of where I'm from after I moved to the big city so I love it. We will go back. I am from Bath County Kentucky.

I was apprehensive reading the recent reviews but our food and service was really good! Especially the fried green tomatoes 😋. My husband got the open face roast beef for his entree and I got the chicken strips with onion rings and a side salad. The salad was very fresh and that's sometimes hard to find these days. Our waiter, John, did a great job and was very friendly!
Please do not waste your time on the Hot Brown . It was once one of my favs. there. However, last week I ordered it an it was horrible. The cheese sauce tasted like it was right out of a can. I appeared they used bacon bits that tasted like rubber and to top it off the tomatoes were pale almost white. What a disappointment! My server observed tha I only ate a couple bits but did not ask if I wanted coming else. This was the worse meal I’ve had there is 9ver 40 years of dining at the whistle stop.😔
We were in town for the fall Glendale Days festival & decided to eat at The Whistle Stop. We waited about an hour for a table (it was right after opening & its one of the busiest days Glendale has.
The service was excellent from the girls at the door seating people to our respectful & friendly waiter. The food was great & the atmosphere here is so laidback & relaxed.
Also, its located right beside railroad tracks & we heard (and felt) a train go by 3 timea while we were eating?
This is a must stop if you're in the area or traveling through Kentucky.
