Whistle Stop Cafe

Good food!! I recommend them!!! And plus it's a historical restaurant in the ambience is neat!

Whistle Stop, what to say. I think it has had a few name changes over the years. We used to go fairly frequently but lately it just has not been what we keep hoping it will be. We mainly stop for breakfast so lunches etc may be a different experience. In our last visit, the food was ok, but not great. Little things like the bacon being in a pile of pieces. Makes one think it was cooked earlier and reheated. Things like that. Yes, I know places do that, but if they are going to, then they need to do it better. Maybe it was just an off day, I know some reviewers really like the place. I am on the fence about giving them another try.

Super cute tiny roadside cafe in Decatur.Breakfast biscuits were delicious and fluffy. Their simple breakfast fare was quite fulfilling, service was prompt but the small old-town atmosphere was awesome.Truly enjoyed this spot on our way around Texas! Also: there's a super cute gas station with old fashioned pumps next door perfect for a photo op!! We are headed that way once we're done with our gravy.I see some wholesome pies on the counter over there... but we are too full to try them today- bummer! They have cherry, apple, Pecan, chocolate, coconut, buttermilk and banana pudding!! Pretty good options!** we found out that this cafe started in 1935 and was part of the tourist main stop in the then main (back then) Meridian Highway! Also a part of the cattle herding Chisholm Trail before then. This is a piece of "Americana" history that can be enjoyed right next to the cafe!! The station is covered in actual Petrified wood!) I added the pictures of the markets so you too can learn something new!

Anyplace that serves killer fried green tomatoes is gonna get a high rating from me! :)It is a small place, with only a handful of seats... but they do turn the tables pretty quickly without being pushy about it! Everyone talks to everyone here, so if you are new, get ready to make new friends!They have all the traditional items you think a place like this needs: fried chicken, pork chops, country fried steak, green beans, mashed potatoes, cheesy macaroni and cheese, deep fried okra, and fried green tomatoes!!The lunches are fantastic, but the breakfast is my go to! There's another breakfast place in town now, but the original is always hard to beat... 5 STARS#ShopLocal

It is definitely a piece of area history. We stopped in because it was so unique. The inside decor is a dinner I ordered the chicken fried chicken and my wife had the club and fries. The food was as down home as it comes, it tasted amazing and cooked prefect. The potion sizes were big and the price is reasonable. I will definitely come back.

Thought this little adorable restaurant would be fantastic. People are locals not incredibly welcoming to outsiders. Food was bland. It's hard to mess up omelets and sweet tea, but they did. We won't be back.

Worth the stop. Go here! Down home personal feel with a bunch of great food. The coffee is decent and the biscuits are huge! The gravy tastes a mix of instant but the sausage really brings it to life. It wasn't bad and I'm super picky about gravy! The sausage egg cheese biscuit was next level with 2 panties, side by side with a huge egg and was great. The omelet was terrific. For a road side stop, it is charming and delicious!

It's a cute little diner but the food is overpriced for the quality they serve. Chicken fried steak batter was dark and had a foul taste, they need to change their grease. Bare minimum service.

Food was amazing and friendly country diner. Just don't be in a hurry when you go. It's with the wait!

Yikes! I went to school in this city, first of all. Really wanted to express my disappointment... IT IS HARD TO MESS UP BREAKFAST! This little place was FILTHY! Note to the small town captive audience owner... you are charging way too much for your "fresh food" that 100% comes off of a truck (Ben E Kieth, Cysco, etc). NOT ONE THING is "fresh." Why are you charging more than the breakfast from runners? Ex: Eggsquisite, Eggcellent, etc. Hashbrowns? More like Mashbrowns.. Food was less than mediocre. Ladies in the back kitchen, 5 feet from the bathroom doors, are using bare hands preparing food items and touching/handling customer plates and opening facility doors and cabinets and then touching food AGAIN! How does this place stay open?? WAY TOO MANY open conversations from the owner to the waitresses. I really don't need to know why you are hungover, or your husband/live in is a turd..... Super disappointed at the amount I spent at this place vs what I received.
