    Filet mignon with grilled shrimp, green beans and mashed potatoes.

    The service was phenomenal. Joyce was very kind and quick with getting our drinks and food. Food was fantastic. Would definitely recommend to anyone :)

    Garlic shrimp appetizer
    Jimmy K.

    We tried this place for dinner recently and it was ok. We tried the garlic shrimp appetizer. It took about 30 min to come out. I'm not sure if the kitchen was backed up or if the server didn't put in the order? She checked on us a couple of times before we asked about the appetizer when she came around a third time. When the appetizer finally came out, we didn't have plates, so we asked for that. We also noticed the tables around us were all getting complimentary bread. We wanted some to dip in our lemon garlic sauce from the shrimp, so we flagged down another server. My wife tried the blackened snapper, I tried the shrimp po boy and my daughter had the grilled cheese with apple sauce. They didn't bring out a spoon for the apple sauce, so we had to ask for that. The red snapper was over cooked and dry. Overall, the food was ok, but the service was not. The appetizer and plates were never cleared. We had to ask for several routine things, including basic things like refills of water. Several larger groups seated after us received their meal before ours without having to ask their servers for anything. Unfortunately, there's not much in the area, so hopefully this was just a one-off.

    Cinnamon rolls and eggs Benedict

    Nice ambiance. You can sit outside and admire the boats on the lake. We made reservations for Mother's Day Brunch Buffet. We got seated right away. But sat at the table for at least 10 minutes before anyone came to our table even though multiple servers walked by. We paid over $45 per person and drinks such as a mimosa or ice tea was not even include in the price. Food was tasty although not exceptional. Prime rib was offered, along with eggs, bacon, French toast, cinnamon rolls. I would not return for their "special brunch". Perhaps they just need extra servers on special days.

    Garlic shrimp, fried catfish, green beans and hush puppies.

    I started out with a Creamsicle drink which was nice at the outset but that " Creamsicle" taste wasn't evident about halfway into the cocktail. The deep fried bread was a novelty. I've never had it before. I won't spoil it in how they make it. You'll have to ask them yourself! The salad was fresh and colorful. I had it with a honey mustard dressing. My main entree was a seafood combo. I chose garlic shrimp and fried catfish. The shrimp came in a small dish akin to a medium ramekin. I liked the taste. The issue with fried anything is you're not sure what you're eating. They were catfish tenders. The green beans I chose must of come out if a institutional can. I can't recall the last time in decades I experienced this. The Molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream was good. We did have an attentive server. He took great care of us. Nice harbor view! 3 1/2 stars. 3 1/3 stars.

    Fried pickles
    Avery P.

    Food was all great, I highly recommend the fried pickles and lava cake. The only thing we didn't like was the chicken breast my dad ordered, it was a little thin and dry but he liked our food!

We got seated immediately and our drink and food orders were taken right away. We settled in and caught up a bit, then four out of the five orders were delivered to our table. Then we waited and our server assured us that it was going to be out shortly. Come to find out, the order was never placed with the rest of the table and the birthday lady had to wait another 15 minutes for chicken fajitas?!?! Wow, not a word from management, so needless to say we were very disappointed and the festive mood was ruined. They did not offer to comp her lunch. After another 15 minute wait it was packaged togo with a disgruntled manager giving a 50% discount on the fajitas. The manager never came to the table to apologize, the birthday lady had to go talk to the manager to ask for a discount for her meal. What is wrong with the management? Tias, figure out who your manager is that needs to be retrained.

    Returned to The Whistlestop for the first time in a long time. This was my first visit since…read morefinding out I am allergic to gluten. The staff was incredibly helpful with finding things that I could have on the menu. Our server was very willing to ask the chef any questions I had about ingredients and sauces. You can get any of the pasta dishes they can make them with gluten free pasta upon request along with getting any handhelds on a gluten free bun. I landed on the Poke Bowl, I subtracted the aioli and ponzu because they were not gluten free. I removed the picked ginger out of my personal preference. To replace the sauces I removed I asked for a cup of their apple vinaigrette and it paired incredibly well with everything in the bowl.

    I'm A nod to the rural TX farming and railway that represents east TX. Decor includes broken down…read moretractors, votives surrounded by barbed wire (all fake- no safety concerns), an old pickup, and tons of plants like fiddle leaf figs and pothos. I noticed there is a lip on the front door so don't trip- the travel path can be challenging for those with mobility impairment whether that be a wheelchair user or someone who shuffles their feet (as many clientele in the area). Likewise the lighting is pretty and dramatic but limited in several areas where there are steps and the accessible parking isn't too identifiable at night (to the left of the entrance). Just be careful. For hearing impaired folks, it was a bit loud at 7:30 for conversations but by 8:20 it was noticeably quieter if hearing aids were needed to discern tabletop discussions. I added myself to a yelp waitlist but this wasn't mentioned. But the wait wasn't too bad. There was a family of 8 ahead of me that seemed to throw the hostess for a serious loop. She put together a table which they immediately rejected, asked for another that containing a reserved placard then a third. In between she came back to the stand and looked at me inquisitively - so I asked for a table for one- but then she said it would be a minute. I got the "table for one" treatment- offer for a less comfortable high top in what the bar area- and then I thought we were headed to that 2 top by the bathroom every restaurant dooms single diners with, but was pleasantly surprised to be offered a 4 top. The menu reflected what was on their website- always a good sign. But the waitress was not able to handle the volume. I waited 10 minutes before even being greeted. When she did come by to say she'd be right with me, I could hear a nearby table asking for a pen to pay a check after a wait and another table she had served beverages seemed to be a little irked they hadn't gotten a ticket yet so I figured it best to adjust my ordering accordingly. The fried green tomatoes were a perfect temperature- this can often be a challenge to have them still hot but not scald your tongue prior to the rest of a meal. I think thinner slices help achieve this. Coated in cornmeal not flour mixture made it a challenge to stay on, but the homemade ranch is perfect and makes up for any pieces you fish out. The tuna tataki is approachable- wise choice for an area that is less likely to have a palette looking for wild combinations. I'd feel comfortable introducing someone to tuna with this dish. The concept of tortilla chip with seared tuna (possibly ahi) with crispy fried onion strings and grilled bell peppers and a bit of ponzu sauce is great but swimming in ponzu, the tortilla chips were not strong enough to hold the tuna and their being heavily pre salted really made the whole dish way too salty. I'd love to see this reconfigured with unsalted tortillas cut in half and fried, just a drizzle of the ponzu sauce, and keep the onions and peppers. the grilled peppers adding that smokey flavor really could shine then. And to be clear that was the stand out detail- would love to see more of that combo. For the entree I went with a grilled salmon since I've had two NY strips in Chicago this week. The salmon was definitely fishy so not as fresh, but the jalapeño compound butter really helped cover this so I'd recommend opting for that over an herb butter. The grilled asparagus is a little oily but grateful for a vegetable that wasn't frozen and heated. The Parmesan on top adds a good bit of flavor but again watch out for salt blindness. I would normally say how can you mess up a loaded baked potato but actually I had a terrible twice baked one at a stupid expensive steakhouse this week. They did not scrimp on the toppings- every bite could come with a bit of cheese, sour cream, chives, and real crumbled bacon. Frankly this was the type of potato you think of when you think of home. Solid. Now the tea. This was what I was most curious about given the city of Trinidad has notoriously bad (safety has even been questioned) water. The restaurant has invested in a filtration system and promoted it online. To be honest one of the main reasons I was convinced to try the place. There is a lingering taste that it's been processed but nothing I would reject and the peace of mind frankly would keep me coming back. Now my tea glass could have been refilled more often (ran empty twice), but in this instance, that's a testament to water being drinkable. For service I would say they were a little overwhelmed as tables nearby were left unbussed, but the food was never cold and was served very timely so they have that down. I also want to acknowledge the guy at the table next to me was blowing his nose loudly and incessantly using the restaurant napkin so my heart truly goes out to that staff having to deal with that. Honestly kind of want to keep this one a secret.
