White&#x27;s Restaurant

Took my partner here for their birthday and it was just as good as the reviews say. The food was…read moreamazing and the portions were huge. About average price for the amount of food you get. One meal was enough to feed me all day, and the Spanish coffee I got was mixed perfectly. Seats are extremely limited, but the service was super fast so even with a full plate you get in and out comfortably in under an hour. Other reviews mention rude service staff, but my experience was the total opposite. I wish I could've gotten her name to give her a shout-out. :) I do have to mention the lack of parking. There were still empty tables when the parking lot was already completely full. There were maybe eight parking spots altogether, but that would be my only complaint.

House made of course so it's even better than the store bought stuff in my opinion because it tastes like actual chocolate. I ordered the filet minion chicken fried steak and it was cooked to perfection. So juicy inside and crispy but not like overly cooked crispy on the outside! Topped with a hot gooey layer of house made sausage gravy. The overall size of this steak was about as big as my face. To complement this enormous steak was eggs, a biscuit & some smashed Yukon potatoes..like they were literally small potatoes they just smashed which was really different to me because I've never seen that before. I also had to order the infamous cinnamon roll pancake I been seeing floating around on other people's reviews. IT IS A MUST.. and if you are ordering it to take home make sure you have a piece of it while it's still hot and fresh because that was to die for. I won't go more into detail about it you just have to try it. It will speak for its self. Overall the dinning experience was great! Servers were more than happy to get you whatever you need. We sat at the bar so y'all should try their drinks because they looked so good and the bartenders looked like they were having fun making them. The restaurant is a literal house and while charming it is small and packed inside and the parking lot is also really small so you may need to get there early or expect to park somewhere else in the streets. We got there an hour after they opened and it was only a 30 minute wait thankfully. Will be coming back again to try other menu items!

I get 1/3 of a drink. I've been in the restaurant industry for over 20 years and I have absolutely zero patience nor empathy for places like this. I paid 6.00 for a small drink that was mediocre at best because they don't know how to balance lemonade with simple syrup or strawberry juice. We won't be ordering from here again and I'd suggest you didn't either. Also, medium poached eggs have a runny yolk: if you put poached eggs on your menu at least do them properly. We got hard poached.

We always try to find good local spots along the way, and I'm so glad we decided to stop here because this place was SO good! There are plants everywhere, which I loved, and it just has such a welcoming feel to it. I got the steak and eggs and asked for my steak medium rare, and they cooked it perfectly! Honestly, probably one of the best breakfasts I've had in a while. We also got the honey peach latte and had it made half sweet, and it was amazing. I'm also a sucker for fresh baked goods, so when I saw they had fresh-baked cinnamon rolls, I had to snag one for the road. Overall, we're really happy we decided to make this our stop. Everything was great from the food and coffee to the atmosphere and service. We're definitely saving this spot for the next time we're road tripping through the area. If you're passing through and need a breakfast stop, definitely give this place a try.

The service by our server, Micah, was friendly and efficient. The overall make-up of patrons on this Monday morning, was a good mix of regulars, that the servers knew by name, visitors from nearby hotels and everyday folks with business to do in Downtown. My wife ordered the French Toast sandwich which definitely pass the eye test. I ordered the House made Corned Beef Hash. Both dishes hit the spot for tastiness and overall breakfast satisfaction.

"MOM!!! I'm HOME!!!!!" They're BBBAAAACCKKKKkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!! ~ If you've been here before, ohhh, about a year and a half ago, (actually MORE!!) you will know of what I speak. This was one of Salem's Bluecollar highlites along with "Busics", "Joseys", and "Almost Home", these 4 were ALL mainstays and their outward appearance belies their culinary achievements which are STILL intact despite the Corvid Sybatical. It is wonderful seeing the re-awakening of the Salem "Breakfast/Lunch" scene. Now if "The Chateau" could come back with their Truck Driver worthy "Corned Beef Hash" we could claim the Earth BACK on it's axis, and we could gather in a Denny's parking lot and synchronize a mass John Belushi salute....

We had gone to all the other 4-5 star breakfast places in Salem, and decided we wanted to try something new. So I got onto Yelp and found White's. First impression before ordering the restaurant needs a good cleaning. Thick layer of dirt and dust when you walk in, carpets needs washing, and the blinds were dirty. I got Don's big mess with 2 eggs, the hubby got the Amazing Omelette and my mom got the crunchy French toast. The portions were HUGE, the total for us was $50. The French toast was really dry. I wouldn't recommend it. The omelette was okay, the cheese tasted a little off to me, and Don's mess was good. For the money I would rather go to Sassy Onion or Word of Mouth. Higher quality food and cleanliness. read more

Good food for a good price, love the #12. The portions are awesome. Wish the place was a little bigger so we wouldn't have to wait for a table, but it's worth it. I've been here a few times, love the atmosphere and old diner appeal. The french toast is also pretty killer and my eggs are always cooked perfect! Eggs anywhere else are just disappointing.

About 4 of us ordered pancakes and we would've been fine if 2 of us only had. The only thing that was a bummer was 2 or 3 of the pancakes were super hard in the middle so we weren't sure if they'd been frozen and rewarmed or just had a pancake batch that wasn't fully mixed. The cinnamon roll is also too much for one person to eat alone so be mindful of that. It wasn't very appealing from the look of it but we wanted to try it. Probably wouldn't order it again but if you're sharing amongst people give it try. The omelet was a fan favorite at the table so we'd definitely recommend that!
