2 Toots Train Whistle Grill
A Letter from the Heart of Glen Ellyn
To Whom It May Concern
It is with the spirit of nostalgia, sweet like a Southern breeze, that I come to you from 2 Toots Train Whistle Grill, where the cookery hums and the laughter dances like dappled sunlight across the tablecloths. Located at 450 N Main St, Glen Ellyn, IL, this sanctuary of whimsical charm and culinary delight is a paragon of all that is enchanting about our wonderful midwestern traditions.
A Nostalgic Retreat
As I meander through the heart of this delightful, train-themed establishment, I am reminded of my childhood dreams, where toy trains weaved through imaginary landscapes, delivering feasts fit for the most discerning of palates. The history here traces back to the inspired minds of Dale Eisenberg and Mike Ventre, who spun this delightful tableau from the remnants of simpler days, launching their vision in May of 2006. It’s as if ghosts of our childhood float through the air, whispering sweet nothings of comfort and joy.
Laid-back Ambiance
The ambiance is as warm as a summer evening on a creaking porch, where families gather and friends share laughter over clinking glasses. Each seat graces the tracks like passengers waiting for an adventure, while the excitement builds as toy trains scuttle about delivering the delicious offerings that make this place a true culinary gem. The air is scented with hints of grilled delicacies, tantalizing the palate with every waft. Oh, how I yearn for their signature DBL Toots Stacks – a devilish indulgence for the hearty souls among us, meticulously layered like the complexities of our dreams. And let us not forget the divine richness of their milkshakes — they come as thick as Southern drawls and as sweet as our disillusioned hopes.
A Taste of Simple Pleasures
Here, service twirls effortlessly; the staff members, those charming enablers of joy, glide between tables as if carrying the light their smiles generate. They possess an understanding that makes one feel at home, effortlessly turning strangers into friends through the communion of shared food. It’s a comforting familiarity that runs deeper than the avowed loyalties of a well-worn friendship.
For Those Wanderlust Souls
This humbly magnificent eatery is not merely a restaurant; it’s an escape, an embrace of joy where long-lost childhood visions come to fruition. It’s a reminder that magic exists in the minutiae of our everyday lives, and that finding delight is as easy as letting that gracious train whisk you away.
As I pen these lines, I encourage thee — if you find yourself a wanderer in the charming town of Glen Ellyn, do pay a visit to this unique establishment. You may even find that lingering sense of wonder permeating through the air just as it does through the heart of Tennessee Williams’s finest works. And after indulging in the culinary mirth of 2 Toots, take a moment to visit Hillside Market for another delightful culinary experience.
Yours in nostalgia and culinary cheer,
