I guess I expected more then what it gave. Ordered steak Salad and it was just salad with a steak cut in strips thrown on top! I like steak with every bite of salad when I get a steak salad. Maybe its just me but its my opinion. Fiance Ordered a burger he said was good but it was small and the side of tator tots was like 10 tots . That's crazy for $18 a plate. Tye kids macaroni was better sized for $8 then burger and tots and I paid $20 for a steak salad with hardly any meat!! Service and atmosphere were great! But personally I probably won't go back!Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu!

Needed to eat something quick and simple, and made the right call here.Got the basic burger and tots ($15) - burger was solid, and whoever is working the fryer nailed it. Tots were perfect. Got chipotle aioli on the side, strongly recommend.Atmosphere is wholesome but interesting, staff was friendly, service was quick.

Came in for lunch the other day. We got sat in the bar area. The place has a cool atmosphere to it. We ordered the corned beef and cabbage soup. It was delicious and was out within minutes no joke. We ordered shortly after and the food again came out within minutes and was delicious (whistle stop club). The bacon was previously cooked but it was still good just a little hard.My only complaint I could give is that our waiter although very prompt and efficient at his job, just really lacked personality. No smiles, no small talk, just all business. I almost felt rushed but I think he was just trying to be efficient to get people in and out and back to work. I’ll for sure give the place business in the future.

What a fun little place. People kept telling us about this and finally we decided to give it a try. Sort of on a back street of Renton pretty close to I 405. The server told us they were busy and there would be a wait so we sat at the bar and the service was perfect. We hardly waited al all. You can get breakfast until 2:00 and a good assortment of appetizers and sandwiches are available as well. They also have several specials on a blackboard as well as a list of a lot of beers if you're into trying new stuff. I had a Renton Depot Sandwich, chicken, lettuce, tomato, onion if you wanted it and pesto and mayo. Came on toasted sourdough and a choice of fries, tots or chips or upcharge to a salad or a couple of other sides. It was yummy and big enough for me to bring half home for later. My friend had chicken club, not your mom's club or sure. It was blackened chicken with cheese, lettuce and tomato and a very nice what looked like a home made bun. She couldn't eat all hers either,. Think this would be a fun place to come for happy hour and they do have happy hour

This place is AWESOME! Their menu has so many delicious and unique options! Pasta, pastrami, Reuben, meatloaf, and calamari! There's something for everyone! The staff are so friendly and attentive! I was very impressed with their timely and attentive service! The establishment is clean and has a welcoming atmosphere! Great for friends family and COOL dates. So if you got a cool date, don't hesitate.

I stopped by Whistle Stop Ale House during a tattoo appointment across the street (my mom was going first!). It was midday and I realized that I hadn't had anything to eat yet, which isn't really recommended when getting a tattoo. :) The vibe here is cozy and the service was nice. My visit was quick and I got their smoked chicken quesadilla and a beer. They had a good amount of drink selections on tap and the hazy that I got was good, and from a brewery that I hadn't tried before. The smoked chicken quesadilla was a decent size (I only finished half) and was so good! I loved the sauce that they drizzled on it, some sort of chipotle ranch. They should have a side of that for dipping! All in all it was a good visit and I'd definitely come back.

I've been here several times now: service is friendly & efficient; beer selection is outstanding; food is good with nice portion sizes. The outdoor seating area is awesome in nice weather.

Surprisingly the best spinach dip I've had in recent memory. Wasn't expecting that. Just came to catch up over beers with a family member in town briefly staying near the airport and all our food was really good. Way better than I expected for casual / bar-style food. We will definitely be back when in the area.
