Lovely place for lunch, hours 11am to 3pm during the week. Service, food were on point. Desserts were even better. The Lemon Blueberry cake is a religious experience. You have been warned. Lol
I'm a little late in posting this review! 2 weeks ago I called with minutes to spare before they closed to order a chocolate cake for a small gathering to celebrate my parents 60th. Cindy took the call and was so patient with me and even waited around for a few minutes after hours for me to call her back with my order. When I picked it up the next morning she came up to the front to meet me and show me around her restaurant a bit. You really can't beat top notch customer service. Even better is the cake was amazing too!!!
The was my first visit to the Whistle Stop. I had heard great things about the food and customer service. I can confirm that the rave reviews are genuine! My party and I were seated quickly upon arrival, despite it being a busy Saturday afternoon. Our waitress was cheerful and prompt. She continuously checked on us and refilled our drinks as needed throughout our visit. The food was DELICIOUS!!!!!! My friends ordered the soup and sandwich combo. I ordered the soup and salad combo. Everything was fresh and well seasoned. We were satisfied with what we ordered. The overall experience was pleasant.
I’ve been here twice now because my grandmother LOVES this place. I got the quiche À la carte this time and I was surprised at how big of a slice they give you! Portions are pretty good here, especially for a tea room. It was very good quiche too! I had their chicken salad sandwich last time and was surprised at how big it was too! Very nice waitress. I got half lemonade half apricot tea. She even poured it layered. Super cute!
I'm giving the dining experience 5 stars. The food was wonderful. The service was top notch and the atmosphere feels fancy. When I called ahead asking about gluten free, both team members I spoke to were able to handle the questions well. They offer gluten free options and the food was very good. However there is limited handicap access to the restaurant. This alone is worth no zero star. Even the express location is limited handicap access.
Fantastic place for a bridal shower. We had a terrific time celebrating my soon to be daughter in love today. ❤️ food was great! Service and atmosphere was perfect. Desserts are to die for!
This is an excellent restaurant. We had some Club Sandwiches and they were delicious. They had a good amount of meat and the bread tasted fresh and good. It was nicely toasted. The Tortilla Soup was tasty and flavorful. It wasn't salty of too spicy. It was more in the mild side. I liked the Broccoli Salad. It was fresh and tasted sweet. They had a large variety of cakes. We didn't tried them thus time but we'll definitely going back here and we'll be trying some. The restaurant was very clean and the employees were very nice and helpful. We met the owner and she was friendly.
The Coconut Cream Pie and California Chicken Sandwich were delicious!
Such a cute and quaint place with a great tea room menu. I had mushroom bisque soup, half an egg salad sandwich, cucumber salad, chips, and peach cobbler ala mode. Everything was really delicious!
The food was very fresh and huge portions. Service was attentive and prompt. The chocolate cake is awesome and the slice they serve is huge (should be shared).
