Whistle Stop - Birmingham

"Please don't interpret 4 stars as bad. I took the family there the other day and was very happy. The service was friendly and fast. The fresh modern farmhouse atmosphere was inviting and comfortable. I gave it four stars because the food was straight forward and good. For example, the pancakes were tasty, yet not punctuated with something that gives it that extra kick, like buttermilk. That's not a bad thing. Comparing price and quality, I was happy. To counter this, they offer an array of condiments and sauces at the table to craft your own experience. Great job! I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer."

"I am a fan of the old-school whistle stop. I’m not gonna lie there’s been mixed reviews; both published online and via word-of-mouth and therefore I’ve been hesitant to try. But I decided to give it a go today. The atmosphere was nice and clean and bright. The waitress was nice, but slow. It wasn’t very busy. It took her a long time to come back and get our order and it was very little follow through. OK whatever. I ordered eggs and toast. Literally my jaw dropped when they brought me to toast. I took pictures. You can see the fork and the butter pat for size reference. Another waitress or runner or somebody came over and I’m like seriously look at this piece of toast and she looked at it and she said well they do use the entire loaf of bread. And I’m thinking you charged this amount of money for toast and you give me an end? It didn’t occur to them to maybe give me a small piece and a normal size piece? I don’t want the scraps. If you are going to serve scraps, don’t charge for it. She did bring me one more piece of toast to offset these overly toasted burnt scraps. Meh."

"We enjoy coming here for a late breakfast during the week. The food is pretty good. The specials are always interesting. I like the skillets where everything is all in one bowl. Eggs are always cooked just as ordered. Sometimes seasonings are off, but not too much. I like that hot dices are on the table. The 313 hot sauce I’d one we really don’t like but Cholula I’d always there to save the day. Prices are Birmingham obviously but think it’d still worth the meal. Service is always good. Weekends are very busy-plan to wait a bit. Weekdays are great."
