“ Thank god we found this place. We had a rough day after visiting two other places in the area with bad or no service. Bartenders were great and our food was just as good. Very clean and the other people at the bar were personable. ”
“ 1st time there and I was very impressed, great service. ”
“ This place is awesome. The food is great, good atmosphere, and the bartender Tucker has the singing voice of an angel. He sang the Dirty Dancing song four times. ”
“ My Lady Friend and Myself arrived at this Eatery on the Early Evening of Mother's Day. We were there for primarily some Cocktails and Dinner. Upon questioning the Bartender it was discovered that there were no Kitchen Staff present and that Sheena, the Bartender, would be tasked with any Kitchen Duties as well. We were in awe of Her abilities to pull it off. The Atmosphere, Service, and Quisine were outstanding!!! We leisurely walked Ourselves thru Cocktails, Appetizers, and Entrees and it was delicious!!! The only thing the was lacking was a choice of Desert, I would recommend having a choice of Cheesecake Slices to end the Meal in pure perfection?! Both My Lady Friend and Myself had a wonderful experience Here and would highly recommend "Manning's Whistle Stop" as a must Visit!!! Thank You from the bottom of Our Hearts to "Manning's Whistle Stop", located on 2nd St. North within Clinton, Iowa, for providing a, nothing short of an excellent experience on this very Special Day, "Mother's Day" for both My Lady Friend and Myself!!! Sincerely, James Lee and Maryann Micole on the Mighty Mississippi..!!! ”
