My husband and I came here for lunch. He ordered the All American burger with fried pickles. The burger was massive and very juicy, delicious indeed. The fried pickles were delicious as well. My husband loves fried pickles and I swear it was his favorite part of his meal. The sweet teas was great as well. I had ordered the grilled catfish with fried okra and macaroni and cheese. Now I was not disappointed with my meal at all. I enjoyed every bit of it. The catfish was the best I had in a while. Our server was amazing. I think his name was Austin. His people skills were excellent from the moment we sat at the booth. If you are looking for a great meal at a great price along with some friendly service, this is the place. You will not be disappointed. read more

After visiting a about 3-4 time. The consistency of this restaurant food if frustrating and frankly really not worth my time coming back. Considering the location Im sorry there are other diner to try. read more

Well we thought we would try it again! Well it's a big mistake!!!! We waited over 30 minutes for our dinner and their is only 5 tables! This place is a big joke! The kitchen plays their music really loud! read more

Went to try this restaurant for the first time today with my daughter. After a 17 minute wait to order, and 22 minutes after ordering, our meal had not arrived we heard our server argue with the "manager". She collected her personal items and walked out. I told the manager our order was taking too long and to please cancel it. I was surprised that the "manager" did not offer any explanation for the delay and even more surprised he did not apologize. It will be some time before I return to this restaurant. I give this restaurant 1/2 star read more

Stopped in for a Sunday late breakfast. Nice atmosphere. Seated immediately. Hot, strong coffee. Took a while for our order to arrive. My eggs , sausage and hash browns were room temp. My wife's hash browns were hot. My grits were hot. Her biscuits and sausage gravy tasted ok but nothing special. The biscuits were not quite cooked all the way. We did eat the food . Taste was ok. I will maybe try it again , but it was nothing to write home about read more

We love whistle stop. The food is always good and the service is friendly and well done! I tried the homemade coconut cream pie last night! Oh my! It was sooooo good! read more

This family managed place is a semi-favorite for locals whom do not want to drive into the Woodlands or Conroe-its a burger, chicken fried steak, fried catfish type place in a very casual setting. You are liable to see family members studying for high school and college work while waiting tables, service is fair but friendly. The owner visits the tables often and is a friendly person talkiing often about the business and his family. The food? I complain about this place all the time, but we seem to always go back for one more stab-the french fries are like soft potatoes, a speciality, fried catfish has corn meal coating but the all you can eat deals on Friday nights. We have had burgers, chicken fried steak, chili, grilled cheese, all good fare and reasonably priced, but, two glasses of wine and dinner for $40 not a bad value. Worth the visit once to see if you will return! read more

Great service. Very attentive wait staff. Smiles all around. Train motif needs a few more items added, but off to a good start. Food was very good. Not quite 5 stars, but fully deserving of 4. Fried mushrooms = 5/5 Onion rings = 5/5 Chicken fried steak = 4/5 Side salad = 4/5 Corn = 4/5 Pies look amazing. While not inexpensive, prices seem fairly reasonable. read more

The HAND-battered onion rings and fried green tomatoes rock! We were told that the desserts are made there. We were too full so we took a couple home for later (banana pudding and peach cobbler). read more

The Whistle Stop Cafe - American Near Me - Conroe, Texas

See all

Excellent food and great staff. Love the small business owner environment. Great weekly specials.

Great home cooking. Onion rings are awesome. Grandson burger maven says their burger's the best. Granddaughter chicken tenders aficionado raved about her meal. Fried green tomatoes we love. We'd go more often but we prefer water with our meals, and they haven't figured out how to filter the iodine taste of their Conroe water. When I'm in the mood for a beer, it's my choice for great casual fare. Waitstaff and owner are charming. They definitely add to the wonderful down-home feel of TWSC. Support your local businesses; the chains just can't compare. read more

The food was amazing really fresh, great portions. Ampnosphere was clean open refreshing. Serves was quick and polite. We will be back more often. First time here definitely one of Conroes best kept secrets. read more

I love this place. The chicken fried chicken was so tender you could cut it with a fork. I have eaten there several times and order something different every time. I have never been disappointed. I love the small town atmosphere. I highly recommend it. read more

We rode our bikes to the restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised walking in. It had a good atmosphere and friendly staff. We were told we could sit anywhere we wanted. Our waitress cam minutes after we sat down. The coffee was good and fresh. We placed our orders and shortly afterwards the owner came to our table. Very friendly gentleman. My wage was pleasantly surprised to find that breakfast and lunch were served all day. I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs. She ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It was all very good. We definitely plan to go back often and highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Such great food! Small town feel and such fluffy pancakes!!! Steak and eggs were yummy. And prices are very reasonable! Take the family! We've only had breakfast, but keep meaning to go back for dinner or lunch! read more

This place is amazing! It's quaint and small with young, enthusiastic and attentive staff! The food is AMAZING! I've been here for breakfast and dinner and was blown away, I honestly wasn't expecting much over just a usual cafe burger or breakfast.. but these folks do it right and really seem to place a lot of value on each guest. My husband and I will be regulars! :) read more

This place was fantastic and so good!!! Costumer service was wonderful! Very relaxing!!! Definitely recommend this place!!!

My breakfast of scrambled eggs, English muffin and decaf coffee was a long time getting to the table. No English muffin, instead there was toast. No refill on the coffee suggested until I was ready to leave. A table of hunky firefighters to look at made my day though. read more

Tonight was our first time to try Whistle Stop. It surpassed our expectations! Since coming back from COVID we never know what kind of service or food we are gonna get trying new and old restaurants. Whistle stop was great! The service was impeccable. The server was very knowledgeable and had been coming there as a customer since she was little. The food was very good. We plan on going again on a Thursday or Saturday to try their ribeye special! I would highly recommend whistle stop cafe. read more

This was one of the best omelettes I've ever had. The hash browns were also perfect. Prices were decent and service was pretty good and quick, as well. We are visiting from out of state, so unfortunately we won't be able to return any time soon. But, man, I wish we could. Definitely check this place out. read more

This is a cute little place! It is always clean. The service is always great. The food is always good and comes out in a timely fashion. I love the way it is decorated too. read more

I took the fam for a Sunday breakfast and the food was good! The waiter that was attending us was super nice and attentive. We'll definitely go again! read more

Depends on how busy they are! Been here when not very busy and I would give 10stars but when they get busy it is obvious they are understaffed and they rush the food. The patty melt and fries have been AMAZING (not busy) and average at best (busy)......I will continue to dine here because it is local and I love to support my local places :) OK went today (6/3) on a spur of the moment choice and boy oh boy I remember why I fell in love with this place! Patty melt was on point!! But best of all I can now wash that 1/2lb beauty down with an ICE COLD beer!! I must admit it wasn't very busy but I can't look a gift horse in the mouth the atmosphere and food here is just good ole home cooking!! read more

Decided to try this place based on the prior reviews and was greatly disappointed. First of all, this place is 40 Min just to get here so based on reviews, I felt it was worth the trip to try. We got there and there was a wait, no problem, took about 20 min and then we were seated. They serve breakfast all day, Friday-Sunday which is great, and my family and I were all looking forward to breakfast during lunch time. We ordered, chocolate chip waffle, the conductor which included eggs, choice of meat, hash brown and pancakes, and a waffle with eggs, sausage and hash browns. The waitress took it, came back within ten minutes and informed us they are out of waffle and pancake mix. WTH, why serve breakfast all day if your not going to keep up with the demand. My son doesn't like anything but pancakes, and we should have left when we were told this but we ended up modifying our order to accommodate and was disappointed even further. We ordered the breakfast tacos which were ok, the box car breakfast in which it states hash brown and they are not hash browns but skillet potatoes and scrambled eggs which were ok, but the only truly tasty items were the english muffin and bacon. My son didn't eat anything because even the French fries I ordered he didn't like, and I felt over all was a waste of 30$. Please avoid, not worth wasting your money on. read more

Our new favorite place to have chicken fried chicken and steak. Also breakfast was excellent. Owner and staff are very approachable and nice to talk to. Highly recommend. read more

chicken and dumpling bowl was good although a little salty. I would like it better if the chicken skin had been removed beforehand.

I'm still not understanding what opening at 8am and having a shipment come in has anything to do with not being the very least cordial with customer. I haven't been in for a good while so I treated myself yeterday. NOT a smile or warm greeting to be had and when I asked if everyone is ok nobody is smiling or talking to customers like I've expereance every other time. I was told well we just opened and a shippment came in; the greeter acted like I insulted her. I even told the guy who came to the front that I think I insulted her. What happened to the upbeat additudes and the comunication with customers. I mean even when they came to the table to check on me they came with stoic faces "Hows the food" "Do you need anything else"; it would have made a differeance with just a simple smile and eye contact. Resturants are a hospitality industry Yesterday was doom and gloom. I get it everyone has a rough day but don't take it out on your customers. read more

Been several times before the remodel and once since the remodel. Service has always been spectacular!!! Wait staff always smiling and very nice and attentive.... very clean and welcoming atmosphere..... highly recommend read more

My husband and I just moved to Conroe from San Diego and I had to have an unexpected surgery. The day I left the hospital we decided to eat at the Whistle Stop Cafe. My husband went in to place an order then came to the car to wait for our food with me. It may not seem like such a big deal but the young lady brought our food to the car and with just that little gesture I was impressed. I ordered the tuna salad which was also impressive. I would have just been happy with tuna and lettuce but you also get tomatoes, croutons and cheese. Thank you for being kind even if you didn't know I had just left the hospital. read more

Great little hometown cafe. My First visit and I was really impressed. Not too busy when I got there but People started coming in. Young Lady immediately took my drink Order and gave me a menu. Lots To choose from. I decided on the Hamburger steak with onions and Brown gravy, mashed potatoes And corn. The entire meal was Delicious. I then asked about Dessert and was told everything Is homemade! Had to order the Chocolate pie. Best pie I have had In a very long time! Can't wait to go Back and try the pork chops. Over Heard another customer talking About how good they were! I think This may give Vernons's a run for my Money! read more

Nice local place serving good food at a reasonable price It's not fancy but everyone is very nice read more

The food was ok. Prices ok. It looks like they have some good dinner specials and a long happy hour. Cute decor. Our waitress didn't smile one time. Seemed very unhappy or angry. She had reddish hair in a bun on top of her head. She dropped off our check while still eating and before asking if we wanted desert, which we had planned on. I had already had a large brunch and was just joining a friend that was eating lunch and we both planned to get desert there together. We ended up just leaving as she never came back after that. (You check out up front). The oil and vinegar bottles were quite sticky. My friend had a sandwich and ordered it on toast but the bread wasn't toasted. The waistress just dropped it off and ran off, never came back to see if it was right. With a different waistress we may have had an experience that would make us return. They were a bit busy at the time but the girl that checked us out was very nice. read more

The servers are great. The owner is an idiot. His entire staff was in the weeds but he found it more helpful to stand around and talk to people about being a builder and shooting the bull. When your staff is down you STEP UP! Would come back because of the servers only. Super nice. But I will not support that man by giving him another cent. read more

Best place around! Good food, good atmosphere and good prices! One of my favorite places to eat in Conroe!

Decent food and decent prices. Very family oriented. The staff are nice and provide good service.

Ordered the daily special - the chicken fried steak - and their super stuffed baked potatoe. First off, we had it delivered and the guy who took the order described how long it takes to make, pack up and deliver - it came within 20 mins, nice and hot and fresh! I was highly impressed. The chicken fried steak with the gravy was large, crispy and delicious. The baked potato was huge and packed with bacon, cheese and sour cream - it could've been a meal all by itself. Everything was perfect. read more

Huge fan of The Whistle Stop Cafe. This is my fourth stop for breakfast/brunch and it's been consistently tasty each time. Service is warm and friendly and atmosphere is welcoming/relaxing. This Sunday is packed and the owner said it's been steady since 9:00am, so acceptable if it takes a little longer. read more
