The great reviews led us to stop by. Needed to satisfy a craving for hot dogs. We did chili dogs all around. Dogs are larger than your typical hot dog. Very difficult and very messy to eat. Buns simply fell apart. Left half on the plate. Oh well, the hot dog search continues. read more

Cute little place. Kind of an odd little spot, seems like a nice spot to take your kids, teens, parents, whoever. Friendly employees with tons of patience. read more

I had a really great experience at this outdoor café. They hosted a nursery school end of year lunch and could NOT have been more adorable! The owners took our order in advance via email and when we arrived with 14 four year olds, they were all ready for us! The meals were reasonably priced and came with ice cream and a whistle! They also had meals for moms, and were able to accommodate my request for no cheese. The employees here treated the class like gold. Highly recommend!!! read more

Great stop for fried hot dogs. Also has a concession stand at the Mahwah pool. Parking at both locations. read more

Owner told me my shirt wasn't buttoned up enough. I'll button my shirt however I want. Don't tell me what to do. Also the food was flavorless and cold. read more

I want to like this place but the woman (owner?) that works this place is legit mean. She is rude and treats customers horribly. She was so rude to my young daughter it was heartbreaking. Can't recommend this place. read more

Took my daughter and sister here for lunch today. The food was great and the location perfect for any train lover. We ate outside on the picnic benches and my daughter loved playing with the new wooden kids train. We stayed for 30 minutes, but could have lasted another half hour if it wasn't nap time! Lunch was an excellent deal! $19 for a BLT, Crispy chicken salad, kids meal and two drinks. We will be back in the summer to try the ice cream! read more

Great local ice cream parlor, but it is so much more. They have sandwiches, soups, breakfasts and more. All done with quality food with a great price. They recently introduced hot dogs to their menu and they are delicious. In an area of the county with multiple other ice cream parlors, this one is my go-to one. And the kicker to make it a 5 star review is the ambience. Love the trains and decor. Keep up the great work. read more

They don't serve kids cones. Yes kids will drop cones but come on. Bizarre policy. The loop hole is obvious which makes the policy just super strange. Also styrofoam containers are not great and ice cream is mediocre. Better customer service would like the mediocre ice cream seem better (pro tip from life long ice cream fan). read more

Went there today with some friends and had a horrible experience. We wanted to get some hot food and the employee at the front had to call the owner to come in and cook the food. The owner came in and was all pissed off that she was woken up from her nap and had to cook. She cooked our food and then didn't give it to us and ran out of there. The employee gave us our food and it was still cold and undercooked. Don't go to this place. read more

If I could rate this establishment a zero I would. The ownership is rude and arrogant to in town customers. Read the reviews before or (instead) of going. Its a great spot geographically it's a shame that this location is an example of terrible service. read more

Food is good and a great stop for kids Grandkids make me go out of the way for the outside play area. Great chicken strips and hotdogs.

This is a great little shop right by the waldwick train station. Who doesn't love homemade ice cream...trick question...everyone does. Tye Waldwick Whistle Stop is the only NJ shop that carries Nelsons ice cream made in Pennsylvania Dutch country. They have both hard and soft serve and both are delicious. I had the espresso explosion, creamy, delectable, and had tons of chocolate covered espresso beans in it. You can really taste the love, and feel it to because the owners are very friendly. I will be back since they change flavors every week. read more

Great family friendly place for all ages. The owner is very nice and will make great conversation with you! I love that the Waldwick Whistle Stop sells real food and ice cream. All around great place :) read more

This is a great little spot near the railroad tracks. Has a nice play area for kids, and a great spot to watch the trains go by. MY kid loved trains last year, so we stopped here a lot. The ice-cream is pretty great, and the food is good to. Would recommend stopping by if you have kids. read more

4 stars, "I'm a fan." It's the corner soda shop and ice cream bar growing up that I never had. This family friendly train themed establishment is run by the friendliest ladies Tammy and Theresa. They got the heart beat of the town. Internet provider WiFi is available should you be an Optimum Customer, but why would you need it with toy trains and other kid friendly knick knacks adorning the place. And you guessed it, not only is it train themed, but it's located across the street from the Waldwick passenger train station. Now let's talk food. Burgers made to order and mother approved, quite literally. The Whistle Stop is one of the school lunch providers of the Waldwick public school system. The ice cream comes straight from Pennsylvania and beats most area ice cream places in quality. You want mom's meatloaf to go? It's offered every so often as a boxed meal. I might not have had the opportunity to grow up with a wholesome caring establishment like this, but I shall be rest assured that my son will here at The Whistle Stop. read more

Nice little place serving ice cream. Lots of flavors and good service from the staff, this is very popular with local families popping in for a treat. I took a group with me and we were served quickly and with a smile. Ice cream is tasty, with the usual choices of cup or different cones, depending on your preference. Apparently the coffee is good too, although I didn't try it. Just give them a call first if you are heading there later in the evening - closing time can vary. read more

Love their ice cream and great spot for train watching for kids. They also have a play area with benches where you can relax. Also, the prices are great! They also have a punch card for ice cream and coffee purchases. Definitely check this place out. read more

Great value for the price. Courteous staff. Family owned and operated. Kid friendly play area and of course GREAT ICE CREAM!!! Prime location with great parking as well. read more

Found this place in Yelp when we were in the area. It is a quaint place with very friendly owners. They take the time to have actual conversation with their customers not just small talk. They took great care of my wife in preparation of her eggs. I had the engineer on a hero which was excellent. We even had some homemade ice cream after breakfast. It was outstanding. The owner took time to show my wife the list of allergens for each of the ice cream flavors. Overall a great experience and we would definitely stop by again if we are in the area. read more

Very cute place with great ice cream (as per my friend bc I didn't have any) and the most amazing home made chocolate chip cookies ever!!

This place satisfied a deep itch for some good ice cream - satisfaction lasted for a few days too. Randomly found this place on Yelp and what an awesome treat. I tried 2 flavors, one was some type of coffee flavor with coffee beans in it and one had peanut butter cups I believe - double chocolate I want to say. Definitely worth the stop! read more

Very friendly staff that remembers you- you feel like family walking in- not only is the ice cream the best but they have weekly specials in food that are great for on the run with 3 kids and numerous activities during the week- makes it very convenient! Burgers and mozzarella sticks are great- highly recommend!!!!! read more
