Good food and service. We will be back! Sharon was our server and did a great job
Don’t do a call in order. It will get messed up
Was told this place has the best fried chicken on Tuesdays (it is one of the specials). Came later afternoon and both my husband and I ordered the fried chicken (him the white meat plate and myself the dark meat plate). Sides of fried okra, boiled potatoes for me and boiled potatoes and Mac and cheese for hubby. My chicken tasted delicious however both pieces were on the small side. The fried okra was flavorful and tender, and the boiled potatoes some sort of gravy with seasoning on them. The Mac and cheese was thick and rich so my hubby really enjoyed it however his chicken (which were good size pieces) were on the dry side (he felt they had been standing around for a little while).
Hubby said he didn't care of he came again so not a great impression on him. I said I wouldn't mind coming again but I will probably order something different. (Around $27 for 2 fried chicken dinners and soda and the meals were mostly okay...not great to me).

Rachel’s Whistle Stop is our new go-to spot! The food is downright delicious — like comfort on a plate. Kid-friendly without feeling like a daycare (huge win), prices are fair, and the service is small-town friendly in the best way.
It’s got that “we’ll remember your name and what you want for dessert” kind of charm. If you’re craving good food without the fuss, this place delivers — and then some.

Rachel’s Whistle Stop is a total gem! The food is amazing — think Southern comfort classics done right. Kid-friendly (our little ones were actually entertained), staff is super sweet, and prices won’t break the bank. Cozy, clean, and full of hometown charm. Breakfast all day? Yes, please. We’ll be back — probably tomorrow.

Stopped here on the way home to Virginia and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Food was delicious, everyone was welcoming and friendly, large portions and fed two adults with desert for less than $40 which included tip! We will be back and we live two hours away! Highly recommend!

Food was homemade, staff was super friendly, and the location was like going back in time to Mayberry, sounds like heaven to me!!!!
Great food with quick service with daily blue plate specials.
Absolutely AMAZING! Awesome name "Whistle Stop Cafe" would make ANYONE expect a little something inside from the undeniably BEST MOVIE ever, "Fried Green Tomatoes."
SPOILER ALERT: You won't find Idgy Or Ruth at the counter... BUT, you will find the incredibly sweet, kind southern hospitality and service!
I was there talking to customers for 2 hours... Love there customers as much as their service!!!
This is a DO NOT MISS stop!!!

I do not usually give five star ratings the first time I go into a restaurant except for when they are exceptional. And in this case Rachel's Whistle Stop Cafe to me was exceptional. Wonderful atmosphere as soon as you walk in. You can tell this is a family restaurant. The waitress greeted us with a smile then we had fun joking back and forth. Emily was a fantastic waitress. I am from out of town in Rochester New York and was visiting with some friends when we stopped in. But from the moment she came over to wait on us her personality was very infectious. She made the meal that much more pleasant. She recommended the catfish and she was not wrong. What are the best fish fries I've had in a long time. And there's no way any place around there will be those prices. I highly recommend Rachel's Whistle Stop Cafe, take it from a Yankee, it's the best.
