All aboard for a hometown dining experience at Whistle Stop Cafe in downtown Fox Lake. Located just a short walk from the Fox Lake Metra station, this longtime local favorite has been serving the community since 1996 and is known for its charming train-themed décor, welcoming atmosphere and classic diner fare.

Breakfast is a highlight at Whistle Stop Cafe, with a menu packed with omelets, skillets, pancakes, French toast, Belgian waffles and hearty egg combinations. Train-inspired specialties add to the fun, including the Flatcar and other signature skillets, while Tex-Mex favorites such as breakfast burritos and huevos con chorizo offer even more ways to start the day.

For lunch, guests can choose from sandwiches, wraps, salads, homemade soups and other American comfort-food favorites. Be sure to save room for one of the cafe's homemade pies or pair your meal with one of its specialty coffees; two longtime Whistle Stop favorites.

With its nostalgic railroad theme and convenient downtown location, Whistle Stop Cafe is a fun stop for families, Metra travelers and anyone looking for a classic Fox Lake breakfast or lunch.
