    Southwest Chicken Salad
    Tracee P.

    Whistle Stop Tavern is basically the old Pacers. Pacers is the restaurant that if you grew up in the area this was the place to eat. We even had a small baby shower here. It's big on the inside, we used the back area for the baby shower. I was sad when Pacers moved to off the Highway but so glad to try Whistle Stop. It was straight nostalgia for me. Like eating the food brought back so many great memories shared here. The food is the exact same, taste.. it's fantastic! My kids ordered the ribs with no sauce, my husband had the southwest chicken salad and I had the garlic Parmesan wings and fries. I enjoyed a nice cocktail while my food was cooking. Let's just say this will be my new place for drinks. I love it here at Whistle Stop.

    Just stopped at the Whistle Stop for the first time for lunch. Used to come here for ribs when it was pacers. Decided to try their ribs for old time sake and they didn't disappoint. Service was great. Ribs were old school on the bone ribs with fries and garlic toast. Got a bonus salad with the meal. Walked out fat and happy. Life is good!

    Definetly a great local spot! Whether you're getting off work at the Amazon center or you're looking for a Sunday funday Place this is it! Easy bar food menu, easy laid back atmosphere. They are enforcing social distancing and sanitizing accordingly, staff is easy going and super nice. Waited maybe 10 min for my wings and skins. Food was great! Price was good, they also apparently serve breakfast ? I'm In!!

    Bartender Sarah created an excellent bloody mary in this clean, cozy atmosphere. Great meeting spot for friends, food and drink.

    I have eaten many items off the menu, dining in and carry out. Never disappointed. The staff is friendly and the bar selection is plentiful.

    The waitress is horrible, never checked in on us at once at all. Couldn't even get a refill. Pathetic in my eyes.

    The food was excellent. The ambiance was good but small and noisy. The service was good but…read moresomewhat uninformed. "Hook and Hoof" has been in downtown Willoughby for quite a while so they must be doing something right. And the fact that there aren't that many high level dining establishments in the Willoughby area helps. The first thing I noticed was the facility is very narrow which lends to a crowded feel. And all you need is one overly boisterous table (which was right next to us) and the noise level can be overwhelming. The server we had for the evening was very pleasant. She did a good job being timely with everything. But, it was odd that she often did not listen to an entire request (or maybe just couldn't hear) before walking away. There were a couple of requests for simple standard items that she wasn't even sure they had. I just found it odd. The food however was excellent. The kitchen staff did an exemplary job all night. I had a marvelous cocktail from the well stocked bar. And my double cut pork chop was fantastic. So full of flavor, juicy, cooked exactly as I requested. The sides that accompanied it were just tender enough without being mushy. And my banana cream pie was great. Overall, I give "Hook and Hoof" a solid 4. I definitely can see us going back. They deserve another try. You should give them a try and see for yourself.

    Our waitress never asked us what we wanted to drink, so we ended up just drinking the water she…read morebrought out. The prices were astronomical so my daughter and I just ordered meatballs and potato wedges. I really wanted fish but there was only ONE fish dish on the menu and I didn't like how it was going to be prepared. There's a big disclaimer at the bottom of the menu that says "no substitutions or modifications". Geez, for a $40 fish plate you couldn't have modified it for me?? The meatballs were good, but came out luke warm. The wedges were good. The atmosphere was nice. For 3 meatballs, 5 potato wedges, and a 15% tip (she lost 5% due to not asking us for drinks) our bill came to $45. I *wish* I was joking. We won't be back. I honestly feel like I just got ripped off.

Off the top maybe 5-6 tables and a bar that holds 10-12 people if I was guessing. Multiple TVs playing all sports. Keno, Jukebox also available. Nice neighborhood bar. Staff were very friendly even though they were busy. As for the food, I ordered mozzarella sticks, a hot Italian sub with tater tots. The cheese sticks were bad. Tiny, lukewarm and not much flavoring. Marinara dipping sauce was bland as well. Now for the sub. Unreal Italian Sub. The tots were crispy and salted. The sub was AMAZING... repeat AMAZING. Served with Italian dressing, on a toasted roll. Banana peppers, onion, tomato, with multiple meats and cheeses. Definitely a bar favorite as I saw many people eating the same dish. It's worth a visit or a try if you're in the area. The big positive of this place was the prices. $2.50 a beer and $10 for that sub. My tab was low so that's always a good thing. I would go back to this place however it might be tough sometimes if the bar gets pizza. In the plaza it sits next to a pizza place that I was told you can order the pizza from the bar and they have a window to slide the food through. I didn't try the pizza so I won't review that place. Overall, a 7.1 out of 10 with everything included.

But always check out the specials for homemade soups and more. Today I had the special: breaded pork chop with home fries and mixed veggies which was great at 15$. Cozy place. Great juke box.
