Whitewater Travel Plaza Food Mart

It is absolutely one of those "hidden little gems!" I was sad to stop back in to find the restaurant had closed.😪 It had the most wonderful food and service! Love this place still!! I am thankful for the safe, little, truck parking here and so does my dog Mr Skittles!! Great hospitality, friendly atmosphere, and wonderful, unique, treasures in their gift shop!! It will always be my favorite little find while OTR truck driving!! Great job there owners!! I appreciate you!! God bless!!

Excellent food. Very nice and friendly people. 10 stars! Thank you for the great service. First time and hopefully no the last time. I never had on a restaurant so fresh and tasty food. For a truck stop or travel plaza place this food is 10 times way better that a traditional boring truck stops. Is rare truck stops with very fresh and tasty food around the country. I feel like home.

Very friendly people and exceptional service. This place had delicious extremely filling food for around $10 a plate. I was amazed at how much food they served. It is also homemade, which makes it taste super good. There is a convenient store and a more arts and crafts type store included in this place, too. Great experience!

Nice travel plaza. They've got everything, even have a restaurant on the lower level. I just grabbed a restaurant cooked meal and ate my dinner. Gas is cheaper than the one on the other side of I-90. They have a gift store on-site, which also sells Amish made goods: honey, woodwork, crafts. Also, friendly staff. I love this place.

Good breakfast and plenty of it. Amada gave me great service, even running upstairs to the store to get me milk and specially making coffee the way I liked it. Very pleasant surroundings and spent most of the morning hanging out, taking advantage of their internet, and watching hurricane Florence batter a good friend's hometown. Recommended.

Great gifts! Great food! I have driven about an hour just to eat here, and to stock up on their goat milk lotion. Homemade breads, pies, and snacks that can only be found here, are worth the stop!

Pleasant and friendly employees combined with a warm and inviting Amish goods shop here. I was surprised to see how upscale the gift shop was after seeing the parking lot and exterior of the building appear to be very average. Plenty of gift ideas for yourself or a loved one, as well as your run of the mill convenience store offerings. Restrooms could use some updating.

Love the restaurant!! Lots of baked goods, American cooking. Delicious food!

Excellent home cooked food. Ample big truck parking. Quiet. Stop, you'll enjoy it!

Good fresh food. Great gift shop. Plenty of eats to take home too.

Let me just start by saying, I would give this place six stars if I could!!!

Some of the bad reviews I have seen on here are due to the lack of cleanliness and casually (sometimes slowly) operated shop and restaurant. And to that I say, this place feels very lived in. If you're looking for a company-owned, modern rest stop, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a very homey, cozy, country style hole-in-the-wall stocked with trinkets, homemade salsas, and a very friendly staff please stop in!! You won't regret it.

I must add, the restaurant food is to die for! I ordered the country fried steak breakfast and I was nearly in tears. I honestly don't think I will ever be able to eat breakfast food ordered anyhere else, without reminiscing and longing for the quality of breakfast food this place offers. Everything was perfect. The eggs, the sausage patties, the toast, the hash browns, the country gravy and of course the chicken fried steak. I dare you to try it and tell me it wasn't the best breakfast you've ever eaten. I will be back again, again, and again.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Open 24 hours. Clean washrooms and pretty good coffee too. They offer no. 1 diesel for less than the Loves across the hwy (for less than their no. 2 blended diesel). The parking lot is large with less of a chance you'll loose your bumper over night. Try out the restaurant downstairs. The menu is loaded with home cooked meals and they are open at 6am.

Two big thumbs up and 10* in my book. I had a salad the lettuce was so fresh the best I’ve had in years especially being out on the road. Definitely recommend! We’ll be sure to make this a stopping point in our trips this direction! Service was also great and to top it off the ranch dressing is homemade and awesome!

Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. The food was great at a fair price, and we especially liked the fish dinner. There was a gas station and a convenience store as well. The girl working at the convenience store was also very nice to us and made sure we got the promotional price.

This was a great experience! The food was exceptional and Ashley, our waitress, was very friendly and helpful. We had the Amish corn rival soup and the chicken biscuit pie which were both amazing. Although it was busy, we were seated and served quickly. We would gladly eat here again!

Very, very good food. Nice staff and the cook came out to see if all eas well. Upstairs is the service station stuff, those staffers are equally nice and helpful. A great alternative to the big 4 truck stop chains.

This is a awesome little secret. Wonderful surprises inside for shopping if you enjoy the fresh Amish offerings alongside modern conveniences. The restaurant is amazing, not so much the atmosphere but the food is top-notch, highly recommended!

Great place to stop to eat. The food is always fresh and hot when it comes to the table. The staff jump to help you when they aren't busy. Usually only one server which must be hard for them to run around if there's a bunch of people who want food. The Amish cannot work with the electricity and all the modern technology so they won't be there unless they are shopping. Amish live near the business which is why they went for the THEME. Just because something says its Amish doesn't mean the people will be Amish when you go in there. Think a little bit. The employees are great unless if the customer has a rude and bad attitude, then don't expect them to be the happiest people there if you're being rude. Gas station is nice and clean and is in a great spot if you need gas, want to sit and eat, or just need to use the restrooms. I love the Amish Market Square.

This is the greatest down home and comfortable secret spot in Minnesota. Staff was incredibly friendly. Felt just like coming home. Amazingly great food. Definitely not your typical truck stop and worth every second of your time!

What a place! Beautiful Amish barn out back, and a few antique Minneapolis-Moline tractors along the lot. Had the Reuben sandwich for lunch - out, of, this, world! Sweet tea was just the way I like it. Purchased a few Amish crafts to send back to my family, which the managers actually carried into the office, boxed up for me, and set up to mail home. Believe me when I tell you that there are very few places left on these interstates, where you can still get this kind of service.
