    We are driving from Washington to Tennessee and we were getting hungry. My husband found this place on google maps and told me they had fried green tomatoes. I was got excited and we decided to give it a try. The place is really well taken care of and clean both in the dining area and restroom. I got the bacon cheeseburger with a side a fried green tomatoes and my husband got the mushroom Swiss burger. The burgers were really flavorful and juicy! I’m from the south and was raised eating fried green tomatoes so I know good ones when I have them. Theirs were battered in corn meal and delicious! This place beats out fast food any day! If you are in the area and hankering for a burger, you really need to give this place a try!! I love that they get the beef locally and you can certainly tell! We will be back next year!!

    Love the bacon cheese burgers. Real meat not preformed patty. I really like the fries, they have the skins on and taste really fresh. My traveling partner really liked the onion rings which are more of a tempura batter instead of a breaded type coating.

    What a wonderful place! I'm stingy giving 5 star ratings. The Whistle Stop totally earned it. The food was delicious. The service was fast and perfect. I just loved the atmosphere. I had the philly sandwich, fries and a strawberry shake. The fries were 'twice fried'. You don't see that very often, but it is my favorite french fry by FAR. The shake was memorably delicious and thick. We arrived about 11:30 am and there was only one other customer. When we left at noon-ish there were 10-15 others on a Thursday.

    This is exactly what every burger joint should be like! Nice, friendly hometown staff. Plenty of tables to sit inside. The burgers were out of this world awesome! — hand pressed, almost smash burger style, with crispy edges, but thicker… They get their hamburger fresh from a family owned meat market next door to the restaurant. Nicely cooked onion rings and we returned later that day for homemade ice cream malts! People say it’s pricey, but it was definitely worth a few bucks more for an awesome meal!

    Damn fine cheeseburger! Local Montana meat. Made fresh everyday. Super cute inside. Lovely welcoming warm folks. I’d have posted a picture, but I gobbled it down. Will definitely make sure to eat here again!

    We had the hamburgers and they were amazing. The fresh cut fries were excellent. And the service? Top notch. Would recommend to anyone.
