Cafe on 28 — Restaurant in Whitwell

My wife Terri and I stopped at Cafe on 28 after finding our usual favorites closed on New Year's Eve. Terri was in a mood for some catfish and I wanted something a little lighter. Fortunately for us, Cafe on 28 was open and serving up some great dishes!

We were greeted by the very friendly staff and quickly seated. After perusing the specials on board, we were happy to find dishes to please us both, to include catfish for Terri. I am also a huge fan of fried pickles, so I couldn't resist trying the fried pickle platter appetizer that included fried pepper rings.

When our food arrived, it was so plentiful that the plates could hardly fit on the table. I had half of my spicy tuna bacon avocado wrap (I was pleasantly surprised to find they use their homemade pimento cheese spread in the wrap!) and then helped Terri with a piece of her catfish. (I swear there was an entire catfish on that plate!) The sides were excellent and plentiful as well.

Our bellies full and very satisfied, we packed up THREE to-go boxes with the leftovers from our appetizer and entrees. With a generous tip, this New Year's Eve feast cost me less than $50.

Needless to say at this point, Cafe on 28 is the newest addition to our list of favorites in the Sequatchie Valley of Tennessee! I highly recommend you add it to your list of places to stop by when you're...

There isn't enough space for me to say all of the good things I want to say about this restaurant and it's owners. My son got married in Whitwell today. It was a destination wedding for us as we all love out of state. The initial catering plan fell through. In a desperate plea, I reached out to Lisa to ask of they could deliver pizzas and salads to the venue. They went above and beyond to meet our needs and special requests including GF pizza. Then, the owners themselves delivered the food to the venue. Everyone raved about how delicious the pizza was. And the salad! So crisp and fresh as if it was picked straight from the garden right before delivery. Don't even get me started about the delicious homemade ranch dressing! We are beyond impressed and overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you so much for helping to save the day and making my son and new DILs wedding even more wonderful. We will definitely be dining in when we return...

Fair prices, great service, good food, and large portions. The owner takes pride in this mom 'n pop place and it shows. We were in town from out of state after having to walk out of a place nearby called Red Point Inn due to a horrible experience there. We called here knowing they were about to close but the owner never mentioned it and answered all of our questions. Once we arrived he came and greeted us. The young lady who waited on us was great too. They also offer a ton of variety so there's something for everyone. The loaded Doritos nachos were our favorite. From chicken fingers, pizza, milkshakes, sandwiches, or the daily meat and 3 options - they literally do it ALL. Go check 'em out and thank me later. My only two complaints are that the HVAC leaked on me 😂 and that they're not located closer to where I live in...
