The Whistle Stop Cafe is a charming little place right in the middle of downtown Wiggins. They offer a variety of Southern items like shrimp poboys and fried catfish. Parking is available all around, especially after hours, and it is next to a busy intersection. We started with the large fried green tomato appetizer and they give you a bunch. We already ate three before I took the photo here. They had a nice breading on them that provided a great crunch, and I really liked the remoulade sauce that was included. I had the fried shrimp platter that came with two sides, so I got green beans and cole slaw. The shrimp were very small, which was disappointing, but they gave me a pretty generous portion. The sides were very good. My wife had a roast beef poboy and was very happy with it. Our server did a good job of keeping our drinks filled and we had no problems. Overall, I was satisfied with our meal and enjoy supporting local place like this. read more

Okay, Tried this place out on the recommendation of some friends and was sadly disappointed. The service was good but the consistency lacked. The food selection was subpar and the excuses for all of this were frustrating as well. Apparently they used to be quite good so I was disappointed for sure! read more

Food and service is top notch! My husband and I went by today and I tried their Locomotive Burger. SO GOOD! House made patty with grilled onions, pickles a slice of fried green tomato and Whistle Stop Sauce on a Jalapeño Bun. If you're in the area stop by and grab a bite to eat, you will not be disappointed! read more

The Philly cheesesteak was great. You can tell good quality ingredients were used. The poboy bread was soft in the middle and perfectly crusted on the outside. read more

Disappointed! We have eaten there on many occasions every time we come to Wiggins. My wife and I ordered the Shrimp and Catfish platter. On the platter were 3 strips of catfish about 5 inches long. The tiny shrimps consisted of 17 popcorn shrimps. For the price, we were ripped off. We learned our lesson. This is the last time that I will waste my time and my money. We really loved this place but we must say good-bye. read more

You can't go wrong with The Whistle Stop. We always stop in when we go through Wiggins. The food, service and the price is always great. It is an old school cafe and has a great reputation. They also support 2A. read more

On the road in Mississippi again and found another gem. Was hungry for a tasty burger and came across the Whistle Stop in Wiggins. Tried the "Locomotive" burger. Beef patty topped with lettuce, pickle, fried green tomato, grilled onions on a jalapeño bun. A flavor explosion between your cheeks. The sour of the green tomato combined with the sweet grilled onions was a taste sensation I didn't expect. Add the warm tang of the jalapeño bun and it was a delight at every bite. If you are driving from Jackson to Biloxi and get a hankering take the Whistle Stop. read more

Everyone was super nice and the atmosphere is very well lit and the food is super scrumptious and delightful!! Keep up the amazing work.

We happened to be in the area on Saturday and decided Whistle Stop looked inviting. Good food and service in a cute restaurant. Highly recommend. read more

They have great selection of food and drinks. The service was great and the restaurant looked cleaned and organized! Very pleasant environment! read more

Nothing special. Not sure why people love this place. I'm starting to think people in Wiggins have no taste (no offense to those of you who do). Food was not good. Service was lackluster. Wasn't even clean when I went and it was dead. Servers could have cleaned the place in their free time. read more

excellent service. Good food prepared quickly. Drinks kept filled. Personnel amicable. Extremely popular establishment with minimal wait times read more

The staff was the best! Our cashier and server were polite and friendly and the kitchen staff were hustling and getting the food out fast! The patty melt and burgers were all fresh ground beef not frozen, premade patties. Everything was delicious. read more

Ate here for a late lunch. Place was still doing a hoping business. Food was decent.

This is not the Whistle Stop of old. I miss the original and since it has changed hands more than once, it's not the same. The first thing I noticed was the fishy oily smell when we walked in. The prices have all gone up. The fish plate lunch special is now $15.25. You get four pieces of fish, two hushpuppies and two sides. There were two of us and they could not get the right sides on the right plates. Not a big deal, we managed. But the fries were a combination of greasy old fries and fresh fries. The fish was good, but not great. Overall I was disappointed. I do miss the old Whistle Stop. read more

My family and I went to the whistle stop twice in one day, the first and last time. The service was terrible, the excuses were ridiculous and the food was worse. We ordered all you can eat shrimp. The shrimp was so overcooked that it couldn't be peeled. We had to tear it out of the shells and just make a terrible mess. We were told that everything except the potato salad was made fresh there. Then we were told the reason the shrimp was so bad is that it comes cooked and frozen and it has to be re-cooked. Coming from someone who has eaten tons of shrimp and all kinds of seafood, that doesn't cut it. I would never go back to that restaurant because it was horrible and the price $24 for all you can eat and you can only eat a handful not happening again so nobody goes there pretty soon. Maybe we have a new restaurant in that location. For oth read more

Catfish was really really good. Got ours Togo but next time I'm going to eat there so it will be nice and hot too. Parking is an issue but once inside it is roomy and service is great. read more

They were open for business today and we were socially distanced. Hand sanitizer available on check in and check out. Waitresses were excellent and wore masks. The governor of MS implements statewide masks tomorrow so not sure how that will affect dining in as we did today. We started with unsweetened iced tea. Appetizers were fried dill pickle chips and fried green tomatoes. Both were excellent. Then we had the seafood platter and shared it between the two of us. It includes 1 stuffed crab, 3 large filets of fried catfish, handful of tasty small shrimp, few oysters, and 2 hush puppies (with 2 sides). We added sides of fried okra and coleslaw.(coleslaw very fresh and just a hint of sweet- just right). Then we shared a slice of warm pecan pie. Service was excellent with constant refills of tea and attention to our needs. I was raised in MS but have been gone for 30 years. The Southern hospitality, "second amendment" discount and country feel is excellent. This is a must stop for authentic Mississippi family style cuisine read more

It was a very nice treat. I stopped in for a quick lunch and saw the sign for fried green tomatoes. They were amazing. I tried a little bit of everything they had on the menu. I honestly have to say I am very very funny about my food. Everything was completely seasoned to perfection. I will be going back soon and reviewing everything in depth. The service and prices were great. I would recommend. read more

I stopped in at Whistle Stop Cafe for a quick lunch while on a family camping trip and I was impressed! I had looked up some places to go in the little town, but there were not many so we decided to go here. I'm so glad we did because it was delicious! Their fried catfish was amazing! It tasted like a good home cooked meal and they gave me so much for such a good price. I love trying local places when I go to a new town and I so enjoyed getting to try this little place! Definitely stop in if you're ever in the area! read more

I read some of the reviews and CLEARLY, people believe that the sun rises and sets on this place. That, unfortunately, was NOT my experience....at all! The waft of of the odors of this place came across the railroad tracks like the siren songs of old....bidding and beguiling peckish wayward travelers to their doom. The bouquet of scents coming off this place was, unfortunately, misleading. Granted, it was busy. It WAS a Friday night. I understand that and am not unreasonable. I ordered our food and was told it would be about a 10-15 min wait. Ok.... no problem. Totally acceptable. However... 30 minutes later..... I was given 4 different excuses as to why my food wasn't prepared on time. I didn't complain or make a lot of noise. I paid for my food and left hoping that the wait would be worth it. At home, I opened the boxes. I ordered a shrimp po-boy and onion rings and ordered a burger and "Cajun" fries for my friend. So... let's begin, shall we? The burger was ok.... it's a burger and nothing Earth-shattering about that as were the onion rings. The sandwich and fries were another matter. Once I excavated and found the shrimp on the sandwich I popped one in my mouth. I was immediately assaulted by a conflagration of offensive flavors and odors. The shrimp tasted and smelled so utterly .."fishy".. as to make them completely unpalatable. I was very concerned that they were "off" and was so worried about the "freshness" of my sandwich that I refused to eat it for fear of it making me ill. The fries were a mess! A weak lump of sadness that reflects the darkness in the soul of the unfortunate who made them. Perhaps they were PREPARED by a Cajun but that's where it ended. These were the saddest, limpest, greasiest, and decidedly un-Cajun mass of french-fried potatoes to ever disgrace a plate. Horrifying. Truly awful. So, I shared my onion rings and he shared his burger and we didn't go completely hungry. I will NOT be going back to the Whistle Stop cafe anytime soon. Idgie and Ruth would have been ashamed! read more

Perfect little home-style stop-off in Wiggins. Food is always tasty, and service comes with a smile.

Home cooking and comfort food. Food was piping hot and service was friendly and attentive.

Wonderful food. Friendly service and staffing. Highly recommended. Lots of home cooking to choose from. Prices are very reasonable.

I love me some Whistle Stop Café in Wiggins. My favorite dish is the Country Fried Steak with sawmill gravy, mashed potatoes with brown gravy and fried okra, although their fried catfish platter is pretty on point, too! I will say that there hasn't been a bad experience yet. The servers are always friendly and attentive and my drinks stay filled up. Great family owned restaurant with great prices for the quantity of food you get. We always make it a point to stop by if we're in the neighborhood. read more

Whistle Stop does a few things really well. Their burgers are typically better-than-average, as are their blue plates, but the best thing on the menu is their catfish/fried shrimp platter. I typically go ahead and go "all in" with fried okra when I order it and it has never disappointed (nor has it ever not been immediately followed by a nap...be careful if you are getting behind the wheel.) The fish is lightly fried, adequately salted and shrimp has just enough pepper to satisfy. Honestly, there aren't many options for lunch in Wiggins unless you're looking for fast food or a buffet. This is one of the few places where your meal is cooked to order and typically tastes pretty good. read more

Their fish coating is light and flavorful. I don't think there is any fresher seafood than what they serve here. They don't open for dinner on Monday, but they have all you can eat fish or boiled shrimp on Tuesday and Friday. Something that worth a trip. read more

Quaint little restaurant right in the middle of Wiggins. Clean and inviting, and super nice staff. I was there at 230 pm, and there were four or five tables full of folks, with even more taking orders to-go...means they are doing something right! Ordered the Texas Cheeseburger with bacon! One of the best burgers I've had for sure. The sweet jalapeño cheddar bun really kicked it up a notch! The sweet onion hushpuppies were delicious, especially when dipped in their signature Whistle Stop sauce! You need to try this place...and I'll be back to try something else. read more

One of the cutest places for lunch! We were there before they opened and one of the staff came to the car and asked us to come on in. Very friendly staff and the place is relatively clean. I would eat here again. I had the jalapeño burger with cheese and it was cooked to perfection! It was a big portion so I could only eat half. The hubby had the shrimp PO-boy and again a good portion size. Highly recommend! read more

My wife and I recently moved to the area. While looking for houses we decided to check out Whistle Stop. It went above and beyond our expectations. When they found out it was our first time there they gave us a free order of their famous Fried Green Tomatoes! The burgers were savory and the Whistle Stop sauce is a must. We will definitely become regulars here. read more

You have to get the burger titled after the establishment! One of the best burgers in the South! I like my steak pre-chewed "hamburger"! I've tried most of them available in South MS! Get the burger and come back on Friday's for the fish! This is real southern! read more
