Whistle Stop Cafe Diamond IL — Restaurant in Diamond

This quaint restaurant in Diamond is an absolute treasure. I was there for a celebration of life catered event.

The back half of the restaurant has seating for bigger get togethers. It was comfortable, even with a pretty full room. The women's bathroom was decorated so cute! Parking was also not am issue. A party of over 25 and then other patrons and there wereq still parking spots left.

This may seem silly, but the water was great. I'm picky about water and this was crisp and clean water. Probably because I'm from Indiana and all of our water sucks.

The cater was a veggie (I think broccoli or green beans), salad, a penne pasta in red sauce, rolls, and fried chicken.

I only ate the chicken, pasta and a roll.

The pasta was fantastic. The sauce was sweet. I don't like red sauce, but I was hungry and thought I'd try it. I got two servings.

I also don't typically eat fried chicken. This was some of the best fried chicken I have had in a long time. It tasted, so good. The skin and breading was perfecttatio. I got a breast piece and it was very moist...

What an absolutely adorable place! My son loved the train going around the room near the ceiling. There's a claw game (.50), a little ride on car ride for a quarter, and Mrs. PacMan for a quarter! They also have a little section of slots that pay out real money, and a cash out machine there so no wait to get the pay out. There's a disco ball, and laser machine attached to the ceiling so I am guessing it transforms in the evenings. Even a big chair outside for photos. We happened to stop in during a breakfast buffet ($10) and it was delicious! All the breakfast favorites. Bacon, sausage, biscuits, gravy, pancakes, French toast, hashbrowns, breakfast burritos, donuts, cinnamon rolls, and even orange juice! The waitstaff was excellent and on their game as it was packed. There was plenty of menu options to choose from as well. I am saving this place for when I am passing by...
