My wife and I walked in this morning and had to seat ourselves. We sat for what seemed like 5 minutes before a rude waitress walked over and asked if we needed a menu? They were not busy! We replied yes and she took our drink order. She returned w/the drinks and told us ‘she would be right over to take our order’. ‘She’ ended up being waitress #2 who was rude and acted as though she did not even want to be there. Waitress #3 ended up bringing our food out only to discover that it was wrong and missing an item. I told waitress #3 this and she said ‘it’s not on the ticket, but I’ll go get it’. My wife and I continued eating and the missing item never came out. No one stopped by to refill our drinks/coffee. When it was time to leave, suddenly the missing item arrived and waitress #3 said, ‘I guess you don’t want this now’? Well no I told her. I proceeded to the checkout and a much older woman (perhaps the owner) was at the register. I complained to her and described this same story here. She apologized, said she would speak with the staff and gave us the breakfast for free. For this and only this reason, I am giving them 1 star. This place has really gone down the tubes in the past several months. Probably does not help that IHOP is in the same parking lot. We’ll not be returning here and will definitely go to IHOP instead! Visitor BEWARE!

We went in for the first time for breakfast and 1st you have to seat yourself, we didnt know which side to sit on. We finally sat at a table the only one without dirty dishes on it but it was still dirty, and the server was incredibly rude. She finally came over and and asked us if we wanted the table wiped off rudely. We asked her yes to please clean the table. That was a hassle she left for about 5 minutes returned and asked us what we wanted we told her we have never been there before she huffed walked away, returned and slapped 2 menus on the table. We ordered our drinks and she left. We looked over the menu and decided on the special, when we placed our order we asked her what was included in the special not listed on the menu but advertised on the banner this angered her. She was truly bothered by answering any questions or talking. She was so rude towards us that her attitude seemed to only worsen. We cancelled our order and left. Terrible experience we didnt even try the food.

Whistle stop Cafe is a great little restaurant. Ive been coming here for 13 years, since they were in the other location. You seat yourself, which is ok with me cause you get to sit where you please.the waitresses are fine, if you dont expect them to genuflect before you and lay a smooch on your backside. I love breakfast here its simple and cooked the way you order it. My grandchildren love it because they have a small train that moves around the ceiling. When it stops, theres a large red button they can push to maker it go again. If you want pancakes or waffles go to ihop, but that is all theyre good for. If you want a good southern breakfast and awesome bisquits and sausage gravy Whistle Stop is my choice every time!

Was I invisible? I walked in. Saw the sign that said "please wait to be seated" ok, I stood around and waited about a minute. Grabbed a menu to see what I wanted, took a seat. I was the only one waiting. A Caucasian couple (obviously my skin is darker and everyone in the restaurant was Of European descent) walked in, within 10 seconds, a lady came over made eye contact with me, sat the couple. I thought shed return to greet me but nope, she started chit chatting with another waitress and back to work! Wooooow! Several ppl exited the cafe as I was seated, the staff said goodbye but nobody acknowledged me??? Instead of making a scene like I wanted to, I simply threw the menu back and walked out never to return! Appalled!!

This is the 2nd time here, havent eaten yet on todays visit but the first time I had a blt, had to send it back because they only have me broken bits of bacon. 2nd time v was a charm was actually the best blt Ive ever had in a restaurant! Ask for Cheryl to be your server. On this second visit she remembered exactly what we had to drink even though she had only waited on us once before. Shes very courteous and professionsl! Btw, food is great this time too.

I loved this place in the past , usually the food is really good and maybe today was an off day. The Mac and cheese tasted like it came from a box , and they did not have collard greens today, so I ordered the turnip greens which Im sure were straight out of a can . The fried chicken had a good flavor but the breast meat was tough. I love the service here !!! they are always great and very friendly! I love the train and quaint atmosphere.

Im sorry to say that my experience here was not passable. I understand that there may be some old-world country charm for older folks, but the coffee was watery, the pancakes were rubbery and sour, the sausage was flavorless, the waitstaff was lackluster, and as I mentioned the decor was tired and outdated. I left with a mostly empty stomach as I couldnt bring myself to eat more than a couple bites, and I was very hungry!

Its a nice space, and the kids love it for the train that runs around the ceiling. That being said, Ive been going to the Whistle Stop for the last 15 years. Man has it gone downhill. Instead of a full review, I can sum up every item of all 4 dishes that we ordered for breakfast this morning. The cook dosent care how food tastes. Every article reflected that. Writing more words about it is just redundant.

I have been eating breakfast here for several years but have FINALLY made it back for lunch. They have an AWESOME daily breakfast special for $3.99 that you can not go wrong with. Lots of great food. their lunch menu is OUTSTANDING. Have definitely gotten hooked on their chicken & Dumplings as well as their fried shrimp. I encourage you to try them out. You will not be disappointed.

Always a pleasure to come here. I love how the decor is older, the train is awesome for kids hell I even enjoy it. The food is incredible and is expedited in a timely manor. The staff is great as well. I took my father here last week and he really enjoyed it, he kept complementing how cool everything was and how he definitely wants to come back.

Hosted was nice and that is where it ended. Took order with an attitude, dropped off breakfast with an attitude. I began to wonder if it was an inconvenience to bring out our order. Somehow managed to burn a sausage pattie and think it was ok to serve. That was my second time giving it a chance. But the last time Ill visit.

The food is very low quality. It reminded me of my childhood when we ate meat and vegetables from a can. I ordered the turkey and dressing. There were three quarter size pieces of turkey and the dressing was green in color and tasted like shelter food. The service was fair and the tea was good.
