White's Restaurant

04/24/2026

Some restaurants follow trends. We've been ignoring them since 1936.

White's Restaurant is Salem's oldest — and one of America's Top Retro Diners. Two-time Best Breakfast in the Willamette Valley ('24 & '25). Some recipes unchanged for decades. Portions that actually fill you up.

Come for the Don's Big Mess. Stay because you physically can't move.

"It's where you belong."

White's Restaurant will be closed on Thanksgiving and open at 6am Friday morning. We are thankful for all of our customers and family that call White's 'home.'

Happy Thanksgiving and Blessings to you and your family.

From Psalms 95:1-5:

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
3 For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.

Amen

This Memorial Day, we honor the incredible sacrifice of our community’s Gold Star families — those who have lost a parent, spouse, child, or sibling in military service during a time of war.
As a small token of our gratitude, we invite these families to join us for a complimentary meal.

A heartfelt thank you to our generous friends at McDonald Wholesale for donating key ingredients to help make this day even more meaningful. Your support makes a difference.

Let’s come together to remember, honor, and serve those who’ve given so much. 🇺🇸

We are hiring! We have a rare Sunday shift open for a waitress. Its our busiest day. Great for a teacher or someone that needs extra income. All of our waitresses have been with us for a long time.

We are also in need of a part-time dishwasher/closer.

Please drop off resumes at the restaurant. Merry Christmas!
