Whistle Stop Cafe

Located behind the Savannah Visitor's Center, this restaurant is convenient for those walking, biking, or riding. Shuttles stop on MLK and cars can park in the lot for first hour free. As of this year, the food is perfect for light or hearty breakfasts or lunches. Traditional American and Southern along with Chef's specials are offered daily. My lunch favorites are the club sandwiches, potato salad, fried green tomatoes, and on Wednesday's --- the Train Wreck Fries! Yes, things have greatly improved since 2009. I know, I live in Savannah and eat here regularly. According to the weather and your mood, you can choose to eat on the patio, in the train car, or in the boiler room. Did I mention they have wi-fi? and a coffee bar? This place is more than worth checking out. Tell them I sent you! more

Is there anything more fun than eating lunch on a railroad car? Well maybe but this sure was a really interesting stop. Adjacent to the Savannah Visitor Center this converted rail car offers some tasty fare at reasonable prices. The menu is heavy on southern favorites but also offers things such as Philly steak sandwich and chicken Caesar salad. I would say that the quality of the food was very similar to diner food. Not gourmet but any stretch of the imagination but very enjoyable and the atmosphere is just what you would expect in a converted rail car. more
