White House Diner - Forty Fort

Slightly disappointed in the service. Arrived at 1208. Sat down immediately. Got my drink and the menu within 2 minutes. 12 minutes later she came back to take my order. It is a very family run business and is a very small operation. The burger was great. Came with chips. Nothing was remarkable, but I like supporting locals. Stop by and give it a try.

What's going on everyone! I am back with another local food review and it is The White House Diner. I was here on two separate dates, breakfast and lunch. Now if your looking for a nice family style, home cooked meal kind of taste then you all gotta check this place out. In my latest video i stopped for lunch, everything looked so delicious and the prices are very reasonable. My antipasto salad was packed with everything, no skimping here, you got your moneys worth and this salad is so packed you can eat that as just a meal. My meatball grinder was not skimped at all either, huge meatballs with cheese and sauce but the catcher was this bread was so soft it tasted like it was baked on site. It also came with a side of fries that were hot to the touch. Now they were busy so i was not able to ask that question. About two years ago i stopped and got a breakfast, i got a Philly Omelet which was loaded in it's own right, this came with a side of home fried potatoes and toast. Don't just take my word for it? Watch our video from our YouTube Channel. Until next time everyone, be blessed and be safe.. youtu.be/5wepZ7X9qhg

So, the White House Diner has adjusted well to take outs only during this Covid 19 pandemic. Since the weather has gotten milder, they have added a couple tents in the parking lot. The daily specials are secretly listed on the owners personal Facebook page. To order, one needs to comment on his page. Wednesday is Italian night, and knowing Jeff is Italian, I expected great food. It was. And cheap $12 for each entree! I had shrimp fra diavolo and my wife had shrimp limoncello, both over a creamy risotto. Our son had a meatball hoagie with cheese. All were succulent, as expected as Jeff 's a great chef. Tonight, Friday, I ordered wings and pierogi; my wife had crab cakes. I thought my deceased mother had made the pierogi they were that good. 6 for $6 smothered in butter and onions. The wings were meaty and very good. The crab cakes, only $6 each, were as good as they get. But getting back to the pierogi, Jeff must have some Eastern European blood in him or else he has an old Russian grandmother hiding in his kitchen on Friday.

They have curb side pick up. That is important. My husband went to Grotto Edwardsville to pick up for us, I am high risk for Covid, they would not do curb side pick up. They would not come out. Many people were entering the restaurant all touching the door handle no gloves. All waiting inside for their food. My husband was forced to cancel our order and leave. Very disappointing. We all need to care for each other at this time. We all matter. Thank you White House.

Ordered pierogis and potato pancakes for our staff lunch today... Amazing. Thank You!
