Exeter Whistle Stop

Tali Golan

We had a delightful experience at this classic small-town diner during our trip back from Three Rivers. The owner personally welcomed us and promptly seated our group of six, which was much appreciated. The kids were entertained with books, giving us adults a rare moment of tranquility. Everyone enjoyed their meals, especially the omelettes and pancakes. The train-themed decor added a fun touch to our visit. We absolutely loved it and plan to return the next time we’re in the area!

The Exeter Whistle Stop is the Gold Standard for American Diners! They nail the big 3 when it comes to a restaurant. First off, the Atmosphere is amazing. The diner sits in the cozy setting of downtown Exeter. The ambiance of trains on the inside and outside is perfectly done. Secondly, the top notch service by the two waitresses. Teresa, (not sure if I spelled her name right) was my main server. Not once did my, or any other person in my group drinks go empty. Both ladies had our drinks refilled regularly without having to ask. The waitresses were constantly in motion taking orders, serving meals and refilling patrons drinks flawlessly. All while being able to interact with each and every customer and make you feel at home. It truly was an art form to watch. Thirdly, was the food. My pictures do it no justice. The flavors and textures of each meal were nothing short of perfection. The homemade chili was superb. The French fries were perfectly crisp on the outside while the center was fluffy and the seasoning was spot on. I highly recommend trying it. The Patty Melt had a perfect toasty outside while the meat inside was very flavorful and the onion rings were some of the best I’ve ever eaten. The biscuits and gravy were flavor packed along with the French Dip. If you find yourself anywhere within 20 miles of this amazing diner you have to stop in. I actually went back a second time recently and ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with country potatoes. It was out of the world delicious.

The food was so delicious! Fried green tomatoes were unreal! We’re from Tennessee so we have a lot of feelings about biscuits and gravy and theirs was wonderful! Teresa took such good care of us! Definitely need to make a trip here if you’re in the area.

Very attentive service and loved what we had today…a turkey sandwich with the wedding cake soup and the grilled chicken sandwich with a salad. Small and cozy place to eat…must try it! ♥️

Teresa was an amazing waitress! She had everything down. We had a table with 8 people ( try to keep parties small, or group up as there is only one table that can accommodate a party that size) multiple tables can comfortable seat 4-6 people. Regardless it’s worth the wait. You can taste( and smell) the quality food. Highly recommend the banana pancakes/ chicken steak/ biscuits and gravy/ country fried potatoes.
