Whistle Stop Cafe

We love the food and the staff best place in town to get breakfast. Just wish the seating was better. If you have a party bigger than 4 your not able to sit together.

Great simple restaurant that offered home cooking at a reasonable price.
They knew all their locals that walked through the door and treated us out of towners like we were neighbors.
There was about 4 people working the place between wait staff to cook were pitching in to help serve food and clean up.
Loved the soup and salad combo. Had chicken noodle perfect not to salty or greasy. It had home made noodles. Great!

Good atmosphere, great food, wonderful people. Serve breakfast or lunch. Highly recommend.

Always love my breakfasts here. Good place to sit and listen to farm talk from the regulars. Coffee is weak but you’ll love this if you love a greasy spoon.

The Whistle Stop Café is a small breakfast and lunch joint that is a perfect compliment to a ride on the Boone Scenic Valley Railway. I’d recommend sticking to the breakfast menu, although the lunch offerings are diverse and very reasonably priced as well.
We were served by the elementary school teacher daughter of the owner the day we dropped in. The pancakes were great. The kids meals were inexpensive and well received, particularly the smiley face fries. When another diner left their phone behind, the waitress rushed out the door to run them down. When I asked if she found them she replied. «yes, but it didn’t matter since they were friends anyway.» A nice vibe.
Just don’t show up for dinner. They’ll be closed.

WHOLE MENU ALLLL DAY! Lunch at 7am, breakfast at 1pm, it’s all good. Love that!
Food: We had a green pepper/​onion/​cheese scramble and a chicken strips basket. Tasty food and lots of it! Super health-​conscious types take note: there’s grease and oil and stuff, this is a more home-​y style of cooking. Comfort food. More whole milk, less skim. In other words, right up my alley. Woohoo!
The Other Stuff: Friendly service, open early, good coffee. Clean restroom (you go through the kitchen to get there — could be awkward, but everyone on the way was friendly, so it wasn’t awkward at all… I kinda felt like I was visiting with the kitchen staff, they were super nice about me crashing their space). Booths, tables, or stools up at a circular bar. Fun décor and mugs.
The whole place has a nice, friendly local feel. Great prices, special deals daily, and we left full and happy. Will definitely head over there again soon, and I especially recommend it to breakfast fans!
