We had the steak burger special, came with a salad mash potatoes and gravy, cooked carrots, the salad was a joke, wilted lettuce a few days past it’s prime, only lettuce nothing else in the salad, overcooked burger, canned carrots, time to call it quits on the whistle stop café

Stopped there on a busy morning. Poor customer service from the wait staff and food not worth the wait. Dirty tables cleaned with same one rag over and over again. Would never stop there again.

My friends and I stopped here on our way through town. It’s a small dirty little place. The food was decent. It’s that kind of place where you are afraid to eat the food but you do anyways.

Small town café. Hearty large portions. Breakfast for 2 for $ 18. This place is small and filled with locals. Pancakes were size of a full size plate.

Not sure a small town café gets better than this! We had lunch one day… breakfast the next. both times nice straightforward service, good food, and pretty reasonable prices with pretty big portions! Breakfast was very good and the thick crispy bacon and juicy pork sausage was delish… but they serve an old-​fashioned pork «commercial» (hot pork sandwich?) that harkens back to growing up eating at places like this. Big mound of mashed potatoes, white bread, and roasted pork covered with gravy. If that’s your thing (and it probably shouldn’t be too often) it just isn’t done any better!

To take from someone else: Good hearty midwestern food. This is real breakfast. I came here as a fun stop, because I loved «Fried Green Tomatoes.» Got 3 pancakes (they are HUGE), 2 eggs, 2 pieces of toast, 2 sausages, an orange juice and some tea all for $ 12. Busy on Sunday morning when I went. Small quaint place. Reminds me of my family up north and the local place where all the farmers have coffee then leave to get back to work. Very good!

This place is a no-​nonsense coffee shop kinda place with hot coffee and good food! Every time the door opens the whole place tends to turn around and say hi since most people know each other here. Pancakes are the size of a plate and the omelets are large and in charge. Don’t expect white tablecloths and candlelight, just good food fast. Check it out if you’re on the drive along the river and find yourself hungry!

A long time ago my racer friends and I hung out here. The guy who mostly tolerated us working on our bikes in his shop is located nearby and we’d all hit the Whistle Stop (it’s located by a set of train tracks) at all hours, eating there morning noon and night on busy days.
Back then, we didn’t call it «The Whistle Stop». It was, for no apparent reason, «The Whistle F*cker». It was a term of endearment.
Let’s be clear: This is an old truck stop, with peeling siding and a small grill. Friendly staff and free newspapers on the counter. Don’t bring anyone here to impress them, you won’t. Good solid Midwestern food.
