Whistle Stop Café

This place is perfect! Ambiance is cute, service was excellent, food is tasty!Stopped in on a Friday afternoon on our way up north. We were greeted right away by our server and told to sit anywhere. We ordered the cowboy burger, patty melt, and Reuben. All were delicious! I'd recommend the patty melt for sure. For dessert we split a slice of the peanut butter pie - AMAZING. I would come back just for the pie.

A restaurant that makes food that is like home cooking, and not fast food microwaved junk. Delicious food as the cook really knows how to cook. Prices are very reasonable as well. Definitely be back next time we are in town.

I am so surprised by the positive reviews... I was looking for a place along the route between Duluth and Minneapolis. Hinckley is a great stopping point and I went out of my way to find a place less know than the legendary Tobies. This cafe is clean and cute inside BUT had to take off the stars for the actual food. Let's just say everything we had was below average and the Reuben sandwich I had was purely inedible. I guess it's my bad for ordering an "exotic" food for central MN but it was on the menu... I don't know what it was that I was served but surely not corned beef that goes on a Reuben. Then we thought "maybe this is a breakfast place?" but sadly my daughter's eggs were rubbery, thin and bland, so there goes that theory!

Very good breakfast and lunch spot. Traditional cafe food done well with pie for dessert. Some train decor, thought there might be more of that with the name, but it is minimal. Friendly service and small town cafe feel.

Atmosphere is nice and the food is usually good. I have had a bad steak from here that was horribly chewy, but it was only the one time. Service is always friendly, and it's always quite clean. Prices aren't bad either.

Tucked away from Tobies in Hinkley on the west side of interstate 35. Interesting daily specials & ones to go with as opposed to the biscuits & gravy- which was on the bland from a mix side. Consider taking in some of the local businesses as you leave the restaurant- a wide variety of second hand stores.

Yummy made from scratch food Everything we ordered was incredible The Rueben was my favorite and the soups

This was well worth the short drive off of I -35.. the food was well prepared, the service, from Madison was top notch. I will be back on my next trip to Hinkley..Thanks Madison..

Great, small-town diner. Only problem is the hours of operation but then, good help is hard to find.Awesome breakfast menu. I highly recommend the Country Fried Steak. Daily specials and great, friendly service.

Having a Sunday breakfast/lunch with my folks. I ordered the everything omelet with hashbrowns. I was so hungry and it "hit the spot" so much I forgot to take a picture of the food. Sorry.It was a well stuffed omelet. No short cut on ingredients. Sat in the new wing. It was clean restaurant and the staff was friendly and speedy.
