I visited the Whistle Stop with a group of people on business and we had a great time. Love the diversity of the menu items and the portion sizes. I was able to make an appetizer a meal, or have one to share with a friend with no trouble. Great selection of homemade beverage concoctions from the bar. I would... More

Ordered the Southern Sampler: Fried Green Tomatoes, Corn Fritters, Fried Dill Pickles and Chicken Tenders. Was all very good and would order it again. Also tried the Hummus Platter. Loved the addition of fresh fruit and veggies. Will go back next time in town.

We eat probably once a week, great staff, cool music and always a great atmosphere. Love the sweet potato fries and the Burgers are the best around town.

I have been to the Whistle Stop many times and have had several dishes and salads. The walk-up/take-out window is great for a quick ice cream stop. The bar area is always busy with live music on the weekends. All outdoor seating. Shorts and flip flop casual. The food is really fantastic for such a casual place, but the fried... More

This place isn't fancy, but it's fun. The food was good and there are a lot of wonderful new twists on old favorites. It's all outdoor and it's pet-friendly. If we lived nearby, we would definitely make it one of our regular places to eat. The service was efficient and pleasant, too.

Safety Harbor is east of Clearwater, FL that is a very charming town that seems out of place in populous Pinellas County. The downtown area has a charm (and some very good restaurants) that you only see in older small towns. The Whistle Stop is an open air grill and bar with covered seating and some open air tables too.... More

We've been here a few times. The atmosphere is great for families and adults. Their pork tacos are amazingly good and they season them with plenty of cilantro. They also have a yummy mixed greens salad with chicken that is definitely with trying. We love to dine here.

This is a great little restaurant. All seating is outdoors....under a huge tent. The food is delicious with a good selection. The Buffalo wings are authentic...they even use Frank's Hot Sauce. Half price beer and wine happy hours...all night on Tuesdays. They also host an open mic night on Wed. This is not an amature hour...some really talanted people perform.... More

First appetizer and main course came together. Sent back main course. Instead of refireing, they put my fried sampler in a cast iron skillet and left in oven, and then the front end manager, then the kitchen manager, bus girl, one after another, tried to convince me that the soggy greasy mess in the skillet was freshly fried.The chicken strips...
