    When I am in Crozet I always eat breakfast here. Great food and bought one of their $20 T-shirts today. They are very well made, great logo and come even in size 3x.

    Sweet staff and great location in business area of Crozet, VA. Food was decent, southern style menu items. Outside patio seating and dog friendly. Great little stop in this cute town.

    Eggs with cheese.

    Visited Chile's Peach Orchard, for apples and wanted to eat in the area. The Whistle Stop was recommended. The food was okay. The bacon was over cooked as was the corn beef hash. The eggs were bland. The server bought out tea bags not in the wrapper. Dropped one on the floor, picked it up offering it to us as if we were going to use it. This place has a lot of potential and is in a great location. The food came out fast but it really wasn't that good. Maybe given the hour, 12:15, it was food that has been around since 6AM when it opened.

    When in Crozet, pop by the Whistle Stop! This is a cozy, country diner with lots of seating indoors and outdoors! There's an old fashioned counter where you can watch the cook at the grill make one of your favorite American meals. I love the railroad theme, the décor is nostalgic with trains and whistles at the tables. They also have lots of Pepsi memorabilia too. You'll think you time traveled when you see the prices on the menu! $3.99 for a BLT or a burger! I got the BLT and the bacon was crispy and plentiful. It was toasted perfectly but I wished they had rye bread. The menu is pretty plain, but sometimes you want some familiar favorites. My friends got the burgers which they said hit the spot. The patties are hand made, not Frozen! Our sandwiches were served on these tiny 6" flimsy paper plates that almost gave way when our server placed them in front of us. We actually cracked up when we saw them! It was comical! We asked for larger plates and she brought us regular melamine plates. I think they didn't want to wash the dishes?! Anyway, we also ordered fries which were served cold. Bummer! The drink menu is extensive. Lots of soda choices including Cheerwine and root beer. We also had iced tea and beers and the server kept our drinks flowing. She was working hard! The restrooms were clean as was the whole restaurant. This isn't a trendy spot that tries too hard. It's a basic, casual, down home spot to chill with some good cheap eats! I'd come again, but don't expect too much... all aboard!!

    Hilarious. JR Ewing beer. If you have to ask you probably can't afford it.

    Classic diner. Fair prices and extremely friendly family service environment. I liked that the western omelet with potatoes and toast wasn't overly huge and greasy and the potatoes were freshly made and the toast was dry with option to butter myself. Some diner French everything in oil or butter.

    Hamburger sub with onion rings and pickles.

    This is one of the best diners of all times. The people there are friendly, the service is very attentive and the food is always good! I'm so thankful for the way they welcome people to Crozet. My vote is that they should get a key to the town.

    Grease up for this inexpensive cholesterol dive. Might as well let the chickens shit on my plate. Food from bag to old grease boiler. Undercooked eggs, over fried (likely old oil) old frozen pickles. If you must, the hamburger is small but decent.

    Sunday breakfast! Not too crowded, great pancakes and bacon. Coffee is awesome. My boyfriend liked his egg and bacon sandwich (and he's picky). Staff is attentive and happy. Returned for dinner, great burgers and fries! Good beer for a cheap price. Happy server again! This is our new "don't feel like cooking" spot. Honestly you'll see complainers on here but just come try it yourself.

    Who loves a burger for breakfast ... us this was homemade and so flavor packed

    Really good, traditional breakfast with plenty of food and flavor. The sausage gravy and biscuit, in particular, hit the spot.

    We were very unimpressed. Frozen biscuits, chicken in the sausage gravy. No fresh fruit on the menu.

    We came across this hidden gym on a trip to the Shenandoah. This place really reflects what…read moreSouthern Hospitality is all about. The service was top notch. The waitress was very friendly and very accommodating with recommendations for dietary restrictions. The fried chicken is an absolute must.. perfectly fried and crispy and good balance of flavors. We tried a few other things that was pretty average like the open faced turkey sandwich and the salmon and mash potatoes. I would also recommend getting the gravy on the side and eating everything with it... not exactly sure what is in it but keep doing your thing Southern Kitchen. Will definitely be coming through again the next time we are in town.

    Horrible. Waitress was drunk and food was bad as well…read more Went on Friday Nov 28 for lunch. We like this place as it is local and has ( had) good food and service. We were seated quickly and we noticed our waitress was Slow on getting to the tables for drinks and after about 10 minutes she came by and got our drinks. Upon her getting close and speaking it was very apparent she was very intoxicated and I remarked that it was sad about her condition. As we waited for our food we watched her interactions with other tables and she had problems remembering what table was which. She delivered food to the wrong tables and dropped other food on the floor trying to deliver it. Her fellow waitresses were actually calling her out in the middle of the dining room telling her to get her act together. When she delivered the food the hamburger steak platter was literally a dry hamburger patty that was old and had a thimble of gravy. the mashed potatoes were instant and had been poorly mixed because the powder was still dry in the middle. The glazed carrots were old soggy and brown ( see the picture) . We never got a bill because she just disappeared completely. We went to pay and the cashier was able to look up the order and we spoke to her about the waitress needing some help and her condition and all she would say is " we will try"

    Yum! We love the villa and their food is delicious and well made. This is classic breakfast diner…read morefood, so don't expect an avocado toast, frittata, charcuterie board vibe. This is a simple, no frills, pancake egg hash brown coffee kinda joint. This is NOT brunch - it's breakfast. No complications, just simple good food. My boyfriend's two favorite things are the biscuits and gravy and the French toast. He gets it every time and it's always good. I usually get a combo breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage links, corned beef hash and hash browns. Can't be beat! The food is hot and delicious. The prices are totally reasonable so you'll have to wait awhile if you come in person especially on a weekend. Expect to wait up to an hour. If you don't want to do that you can also order delivery which I've done a few times. Overall, this is a great spot for simple hot and delicious breakfast!

    We were looking for breakfast heading out of UVA family weekend and it this hit the spot! So much…read moreso, we forgot to take pictures of the food. Highlights include the 1) eggs: whether sunny side up or scrambled, delish and well-seasoned, 2) accompaniments on the table: jelly, butter, syrup, half and half, sugar, salt and pepper, hot sauce...didn't have to ask, 3) service was overworked but really kind and as responsive as they could be, 4) menu variety: they have something for everyone. Drawbacks: none. That all being said, this is absolutely solid but nothing unique to any diner. (That would be my only suggestion...like Penn state diner has grilled sticky buns...a unique dish would make this a stand-out)
