Just had breakfast here and it was really good. My partner had the veggie omelette and I ordered the waffle breakfast; both were delicious and exactly what we were hoping for. He told me to mention that he liked that there was a lot of olives in it and the cheese was at least a medium cheddar which gave it a better flavor.
The servers were incredibly friendly and clearly worked together as a team, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming instead of rushed.
We’ll definitely be back and would absolutely recommend this spot for breakfast or brunch.

Classic diner. Highly recommend the Mess (Big Mess, Medium Mess, Mini Mess). The Mini is plenty for me. Everything you could want in a breakfast plate.

Easy parking and easy to get in and out. Atmosphere is what you hope for: Friendly, Fun, Welcoming. Food is incredible comfort food all the way. We had biscuits and gravy, and the Big Mess. Service is what is missing at so many restaurants. even with two servers, Tiffany was fast. Friendly and funny. she is very genuine and likeable. The value for how much food you get is incredible. I had Leftovers for lunch and dinner. And I have a pretty good appetite. I learned about this restaurant over a year ago and finally went. I recommend not waiting to try it. I will be a regular now.

Food was alright just a tad over cooked. Waitress was not very nice. The place is old and needs updated and the floors were disgusting! The menu did not have the correct price so if your on a budget, you get to guess how much more the price is.

Food is great. Waitress's are awesome... But the booth seats are horrible. In serious need of recovering.

It's easy to see why they won 2024 best breakfast award. Commitment to quality food Very attentive to customer needs, without being pushy and giving you space to breathe.
Whoever is cooking In the back gets started immediately when you put in an order. You can FEEL the commitment to customers here.

Always great food and friendly service!

The food was tasty, the service was good and the price was reasonable :)
The food here is great, but the staff is always worth returning for! We love coming in Wednesday for the schnitzal special and Tiffany and Krysta always make it an experience worth writing home about. We were a little apprehensive our first visit because they place is called Whites and we're not white, but we asked Krysta about the name and she said it was the last name of the original and the current owner; no relation to anything yucky or intolerant. Pretty quickly we learned our assumption was false, and the place was packed with every demographic you could imagine and thats been our experience over the last 2 months. If you've never tried this place, you're missing out! I'm sure every special is good, but we show up Wednesday for the schnitzal and are never disappointed.

We were up from Eugene for an appt. That was closest to the appointment. We both ordered BLT's. Could have ben better. The bacon was basically burned.

My experience at this restaurant lately has been absolutely awful. My grandfather introduced me to this restaurant a few years ago and i always noticed a racist undertone to this restaurant either getting served before others and receiving food after people who have gotten there after us and the constant stares from people who eat there. When i’d go with my grandpa the waitresses were actually respectful and caring but after i started going with my girlfriend who is also not white we have been getting treated terribly. Menus thrown at us, sitting there waiting for a menu while other people get helped immediately, And no check up after we get our food other than the waitresses taking the card so we can pay for the meal. The waitress tiffany P specifically acts as if taking our order is the most painful things she’s ever experienced and me and my girlfriend have seen her act nicer towards white customers but rude and standoffish to us. This behavior needs to change there’s countless reviews about the blatant racism and discrimination that goes on in this establishment. And it’s not easy to stop eating here because this is my favorite breakfast place in salem. But because of the raising prices and obvious intolerance for anyone that isn’t white there’s no reason to keep coming back.

Amazing amazing food. Place was super busy on sunday so wait time was not fun and they were so busy so while service is not what i would hope for at a place, it was to be expected with there customer load at the time.
