Apparently the drive is the main attraction of your luncheon trips, rather than the actual luncheon. Good food?!?! C'mon! They serve fabulous, tasteful, delicious, home-cooked meals! I must say, the reuben sandwich does not do the Whistle Stop the justice it deserves. The biscuits and gravy are to die for! Freshly baked biscuits made daily, and a sausage gravy made from scratch like you've never tasted. REAL mashed potatoes made every morning for the lunch crowd. There are daily specials, slow-cooked vegetables, meatloaf, juicy fresh hamburgers, and on Fridays, you had better come early because the Whistle Stop is infamous for its hot roast beef sandwiches and warm homemade peach cobbler. The ladies there make at least 2 pies from scratch every morning...also well-known for the most delectable of all delights...coconut cream pie. If you take a gander over there, please, take in the experience of your luncheon. Savor the flavors. Admire the walls adorning timeless photographs, and some of the most unique antique kitchen utensils and displays. And, if you happen to need to use the restroom....yes, they are small, but surely you are not there to loiter in the restroom. They are clean, creatively decorated, and there is a lovely corner sink for the ladies and gents to both wash their hands in. If your goal is to find a good lunch, and avoid the back roads...just take I-35 N from Emporia, exit on Hwy 75 at Beto Junction, travel North to Melvern Lake exit K-31 Hwy...from there you will be safely entering the quaint community of Melvern in just a few more short miles to the east. Turn right onto main street, you can't miss it...and if you do, ask the first person you see...they will point you in the right direction.
