We found a hair in the food but the waiter was able to replace it promptly. I'm not sure if the cook staff uses hair caps but that was my only concern. I plan on giving them two more tries, if those go great I'll update this review.

The food was pretty good except the guacamole was like a boxed one. They were very fast which was excellent. We were in our way to the airport. I would eat there again.

Barbecue Burger and Totos are AMAZING! I’m a burger guy so I can tell when something lacks. Overall no complaints in the food or Beers. It’s a bit small inside and you have to park in the street but that’s no big deal and the service is great.

Terrific selection of delicious dark beers (my favorite---and, really, the only beer I drink). Great service in a homey neighborhood atmosphere where you can actually have a conversation with friends without shouting across the table. Food has been consistently good each time I've dined there. They pay attention to food allergies without making you feel guilty for it. The Whistle Stop is a good all around pleaser.

Sat outside. Not very busy. Waited 25min for service, only after asking if we could expect a server. Once one arrived, he seemed out of breath and put out. From the time we were seated to placing an order, noticed another table that's been seated well after us had already received a refill on drinks and food brought out....from the same server as us! Food was decent, drinks too. Service was poor, and wait staff seemed run down, preoccupied and put out. Will go elsewhere in Renton in the future for casual lunch and drinks. Been here many times, very disappointed.

Visited for a Saturday brunch with friends. We were very happy that they take reservations and our table was ready when the first person in our group arrived.The food was good. Everyone seemed happy with what they ordered. All parking is street parking, which can be easy or challenging, depending on the time of day you visit.

I love this place. Great menu I suggest the club sandwich. The staff are some of the nicest people I've delt with. It really has the homely feeling. I would have givin it a 5 star except the parking, it's has very minimal parkin. There is street parking but you may be lookin for a bit. But it's well worth the wait/walk up. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT..

The Best meatloaf dinner ever! Served with fresh sautéed flavorful veggies, meatloaf and the best mashed potatoes I've tasted. I ate every bite and seldom consume an entire meal~it was that good. As if I weren't stuffed enough, I saw a picture of a dessert on the menu I had to try; ice cream, two rolled cinnamon crepe-like things with a sauce over it omg pure heaven! I waddled out of the restaurant and couldn't breathe for hours I was so full but THIS experience was 100% heaven.

Great environment. They are very accommodating. Some of the staff have been there for a while and they really know their patrons well. Very inclusive place to be. I like the chicken Gorgonzola pasta. Cocktails are great too!

Clean and spacious. My cranberry vodka was strong and service was friendly and prompt. The food was not worth the money, however. My boyfriend's sandwich was underwhelming and my tempura shrimp did not look like the menu picture and I didn't care for the curry ketchup dip.

First time there and had really good food. I liked the fact that the menu items were not just the typical bacon cheeseburger, etc. They had chipotle mayo, eggs, jalapenos, artichoke hearts, pesto. The prices were fair too. Will stop again if I'm in the area.

Outdoor dining patio was perfect for a NW summer day. My first chair was a bit wobbly but easily switched it out for sturdier one. The Limeade was delicious and the fish and chips was a generous portion size.

Decided to drop in here after work for a nice dinner and I can say that I wasn't disappointed. The place is a bit small and you will have to park on the street which was no big deal. I opted for the new meatloaf and I can say that it was quite good. It was nice and flavorful while the mashed potatoes were a nice touch. They did put a bit of sauce on the meatloaf although it seemed like flavored ketchup. It was a filling reasonable meal with warm and friendly service while nicely priced. Overall it was a good meal that didn't leave me disappointed.

Lots of beer on tap. The place reminded me of a neighborhood-type bar. Food was good and very filling. My Reuben was delicious and had the perfect amount of meat, kraut and dressing. Our waitress was nice and friendly. Interesting story about the bar and location on the front of the menu.

Questions & Answers

Yes. They have kids menus that offer a number of choices including eggs, pancakes, fresh fruit and more. Plus, if you really need to keep them entertained, there is a collection of family-friendly games, but since the service is good, you won't have to wait.

No. They are allowed on patio but they closed the patio for the season

No gluten-free Pancakes....
