Located in downtown Old Worthington, The Whitney House serves made from scratch, refined yet rustic, American comfort food. We utilize fresh and local ingredients and constantly look for new and innovative ways to serve our community.

The Whitney House pays homage to the homes and kitchens in our past that welcomed all, treated everyone like family and offered drinks and food made with love.

We opened the Whitney House because we love our mothers. Our menu is based on the glory days of Sunday dinners when the entire family would pile into the dining room (and the living room if we ran out of chairs) to sit, catch up and enjoy a delicious meal together.

We want for you to feel at home when you stop by the Whitney House. We are looking forward to serving you!

We offer Happy Hour Tuesday-Friday 4-6pm in our Tavern

Our patio is open and is sat on a first come, first serve basis and weather permitting.

The Whitney House in Worthington boasts "amazing food," with standout dishes like the "best hamburger in town" and delicious blackened chicken salad. The atmosphere is inviting and service generally attentive, though some experiences vary. Highlights include the "mushroom gnocchi" for vegetarians and "excellent cocktail offerings." A favorite for both locals and visitors alike.

    Restaurant was closed for maintenance based on a sign they hung from the door and had nothing on website or voicemail. Wasted time going there and then had to find somewhere else to go. Is it so hard to communicate online? We weren’t the only ones disappointed. Won’t go back.

    I’ve been to the Whitney House in the past and had a great experience, but today was disappointing because of the food, unfortunately. I ordered the brioche French toast and it came out cold. The waiter took it back and brought me a new one, but that was lukewarm at best. Another at the table had the same issue. It was also overwhelmingly sweet. Another friend ordered the short rib hash and the eggs came out very under cooked, with the white parts runny. I love the Whitney House, but today was a disappointing experience.

    Our service, food and drinks were very good. I gave it the overall stars because the lighting was far to bright and at time the music was really loud, both killed the ambiance. We'll be back though.

    This was our first visit. Brussel sprout appetizer was excellent. Skillet cornbread was also very good. We ordered the blackened chicken sandwhich and blackened chicken salad for our entrees. The seasoning on the chicken wasn’t our favorite, but the dishes were good and fresh none the less. We ordered the chocolate chip cookies for dessert, which unfortunately were hard and dry. Also had the olive oil cake which was very good. Coffee wasn’t hot. Very nice ambiance. We would return for another meal.

    We had to wait over 30 minutes for our reservation, which was a little disappointing considering we had our 3 children with us. We were sat in the bar which was loud. The food was amazing as usual but the service was very poor - the server was generally not friendly, didn’t check in after we received our food (by the time we were able to get ketchup for our son he had eaten nearly all of the food), and she didn’t come back for a refill of my iced tea. We then had to wait about 15-20 minutes to get the bill and pay. I used to love this restaurant so hope this was a one-off, but for the price I won’t be back anytime soon.
