I like that this place is "seat yourself", so you don't have to wait for someone to seat you and stand awkwardly in a lobby area or doorway. I noticed some people waiting around for to go orders and it was really busy so it must be a popular spot. Biscuits and gravy was really good, going to try something else next time. Waitress was nice and kept the coffee full. Will definitely return.
An absolute gem of a spot in the heart of Salem. All I really needed on the morning I visited was a delicious, hearty meal in a subtle, inviting environment. White's is just the place for that.Right off the bat, I knew what I had to order - Don's Big Mess, which came "before there were skillets or scrambles." It's the whole deal. Bacon, sausage, ham, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, and hash browns grilled together and smothered in White's famous sausage gravy, served with toast, a biscuit or English muffin. Oh also, an egg on the top. It was so damn good. Generous portion, too. Whatever the heck they used to season it all was brilliant. There was just the perfect amount of gravy. I've got to try and recreate this at home, I'll be lucky if I make it half as good. ***I got the Mini version, it was only $11.75. My husband got the 2 Egg Meal ($6.95), which came with lots of hash browns and toast, and enjoyed every bit of it. Like my dish, generous portion and super well seasoned food.Even though it was the only place I ate breakfast while in Salem, I would highly recommend it over others. Lots of regulars, and very decent prices for large amounts of delicious food. Super nice servers, too! I will def be returning for more!
One of the best breakfast places in town! We have a toddler and they were extremely accommodating, patient, and kind as we had our small family of three in for breakfast (on a Sunday no less!). We split the 1/2 Mess and a 1/2 biscuits and gravy - everything was perfect, seasoned well, the biscuits were super soft & delicious. Our server was attentive and while she was very busy she took the time to care about every table she served during the Sunday rush. We live just down the street and will be coming back as the food was fantastic and the service outstanding!
The best breakfast food I have had in Salem. I had the cheesy potato pancakes and they were amazing. The service was also amazing , very responsive and alert.I tasted my wife's corn beef and hash and pretty sure that stuff was straight from a can, tasted exactly like the canned stuff, so don't order that if you want a signature experience. Get the potato pancakes or the big mess.
Great place for breakfast...service was fast and friendly. The food was amazing! Definitely will be back for more
Love this place. Great food, great price. Coffee is good but pricey. Great service, small but cozy, lots of booths. Specials daily. Good breakfast/lunch spot. Homemade biscuits and gravy, great waffles, and the Don's mess is a lot of food. Portions are good. Lots of natural light, but not sun in your eyes bright. Sometimes busy but not usually.
Only place in Salem that treats you like family and that has meals that taste like they are made from scratch. I have frequented here for years and have tried most of there menu. Always amazing. There customer service is above and beyond. Highly recommend eating here. They have mine and my family's business for sure.
Great food and service was amazing. Food is super-sized ?
Had the best dining experience ever! Patty S was our server. She was so friendly and amazing. She made the experience so enjoyable. Food was great too, but the service is what topped everything.
Best breakfast place in town! The sandwiches are always good too. Good bang for your buck. Appreciate that they are still able to stay open.
