Best KPortal Reviews

Had a great lunch at the Whippoorwill Diner: smoked pulled pork taco salad, a special of kielbasa sliders with potatoes and soup beans. They smoke their own meat on premise, and the pork was incredibly flavorful and tender. The kielbasa was a generous slider portion and the soup beans were down-home good. Prices are very reasonable, and the service was fast and friendly. Can’t wait to return!
Truly the best food I've had my 11 years in the East of the United States. Friendly service, and a great Chef with amazing food, and comfortable setting. Thank you!!!
Stopped in for a late breakfast, on a Saturday and ended up ordering the pork loin sandwich because it would be easier to eat in the car. It's not easy to tell on their Facebook page that they are a take out only restaurant at this point. The people we dealt with, who we assume are the owners, said that they plan to have indoor seating in the future. There are picnic tables outside in front of the building, but it was too chilly to sit outside and eat.
The food was delicious, especially the onion roll. We both ordered cole slaw as our side. The containers were dated, which is definely a good thing, but one was dated 4 days ago and one was dated yesterday. I'm sure they were both fine, but there is definitely a perceived difference.
We look forward to stopping by for breakfast once they begin table service at this new location.
Down home cooking with an extra flair. The chef is awesome, makes the simplest dish amazing. We had grilled chicken breast, baked potato, and green beans, and it was like eating a kings feast, and they will alter menu items like salads and so on, to you liking. It's like eating at your grandma's with that special ambiance.
Oh my goodness!!!!
Let’s start with how cute the inside of this place is !!! The tables are covered in such cute fabric !! It’s definitely a vibe !!!!

HOLY $HIT. Excuse my language. But this is the best little diner we have had! The waiters were so kind. You order first and sit down (there is PLENTY of seating) or sit down and then order whatever you prefer.

We can’t wait to come back! And try more!
And don’t forget the desserts to go! Banana pudding and oreo pie!
This family-owned and operated diner is a hole in the wall worth a look. Situated back off of 27 on the southern side of Somerset, it is easy to miss. We stopped in for breakfast. I had the stacked cornbread with fried bologna and Shelli and a tenderloin biscuit with onion fried potatoes.
I never would have thought to put gravy and fried egg on top of sweet cornbread but the hard seared fried bologna made it work. It made for a great breakfast. The tenderloin was a little thicker than we would have liked but it was tasty. The potatoes, though onion fried, were a little bland.
Overall it was a great dining experience with an eclectic atmosphere. The prices were typical for a diner. We would would recommend you give this place a try.
I got the pork butt grilled cheese sandwich, and I found the sauce and bread on the sandwich to be amazing. Overall, the diner has a really quirky, creative menu. The staff are very friendly. The fresh baked bread they make in house is delicious and is well worth the very reasonable price.
