The Train-Themed Restaurant In South Carolina That Will Make You Feel Like A Kid Again

The Whistle Stop at the American Cafe in Traveler's Rest, South Carolina, offers a unique dining experience combining historic train elements with iconic food.

Trains and food. They're both such iconic representations for the state of South Carolina that if and when you can combine the two, the result is out of this world. Such is the case on Main Street in Traveler's Rest at The Whistle Stop at the American Cafe'.

The Whistle Stop at the American Cafe is more than just a train "themed" restaurant.

It's the real thing.

This location was an actual "whistle stop" for the Swamp Rabbit Railroad.

Many of the nostalgic items at the cafe are authentic relics from those days.

You'll love everything from the exposed brick walls ...

...to the miniature train on the track near the exposed beam ceiling.

The food here is almost as iconic as the historic location.

Whether you order a prime cut of beef, or...

...a burger with all the fixin's...or

...you indulge in an apple or peach "Flat Car with Ice Cream and Caramel"...

...you're sure to have a meal you won't forget!

Whatever you do or eat, be sure to save room for one of their famous milkshakes!

I'll take chocolate, please!

For a one-of-a-kind experience in the Palmetto State, eat at The Whistle Stop at the American Cafe in Traveler's Rest.

They're located at 109 S Main St, Travelers Rest, SC 29690.
