Whistle Stop at The American Cafe

"My family ordered take out here and everything tasted excellent and it was all well packaged too. We got the pretzel, the pork chop, the BBQ chicken and two of the salads. All the meals were delicious including the sides they came with. The rolls are a must-get also. Definitely will be back!"

"Nice little restaurant with a good selection of dining choices. The staff was amazing - friendly, attentive, and worked as a team. I had the daily lunch special, a lobster poboy, and the flavor was very good! It was fresh lobster - not frozen - and you could taste it! The roll was perfectly toasted and the veggies were fresh. I would go back!"

"Such a cute restaurant. The food and service were very good and even better, the atmosphere. A little pricey but worth it. Must try the fried green tomatoes!"

"Starting out my salad had rotten tomatoes in it, so much so that they were green on the inside and I ate one and had to immediately spit it out because of how foul it was. Then all of our food was very bland, literally no salt or seasoning touched any of the mashed potatoes, green beans, grits, or filet mignon. That same filet mignon is the only thing my wife had eaten all day and she was up all night throwing up from food poisoning. I initially had a good review of this place and could overlook the rotten tomatoes and bland food as our server Wendy was an absolute gem of a waitress and made up for it. After having to help my wife for her throwing up 8x last night I am obviously changing it from a 5 star review to a 1 star. They are closed on today (Sunday) but I will update the review on if they refund us for the meal and how the customer service is going forward. Extremely disappointing to spend $70 to wind up this sick on vacation."

"After landing in Greenville, this was our first stop while visiting friends who chose this small city as transplants leaving CT. Outdoor and indoor seating. Casual vibe. Friendly service. A busy shared path along the cafe keeps patrons aware of constant traffic when entering the establishment. The history of the location is of note and the design here displays this from an outside building wall mural to interior collector signs. There is a small train that moves along tracks underneath the ceiling in the main dining room. The four appetizers we ordered were ordinary in taste and presentation. The fried green tomatoes were thin and nothing to remember. Same with the chicken tenders and wings. Best of the four apps were the brussel sprouts. That said, this does not mean other options on the menu (hamburgers, chicken, pizza, ribs) aren't better and worth returning for - just what my partner and I thought of the four dishes we tried. They do have a specials board which when we were there was a meatloaf sandwich with provolone. Our two drinks, one dirty martini and an attempted French martini were decent. This is a fun spot to enjoy outside with the nice steady breeze or inside with the fireplace burning during cooler months."
