We enjoyed a delicious Sunday brunch at The Rail Public House. The food was delicious, especially the bacon bombs! Service was great and staff was very friendly. Our waitress, Anna, was amazing. She is a great waitress with the best personality and sweetest smile. I would definitely suggest reservations.
Stopped here yesterday while traveling for brunch. Service matched the food. Everything was top tier. The complentary fruit before our meal was a nice touch. Great drink prices. I ordered a poinsetta and the shrimp and grits, Hubby ordered the breakfast platter and the kids got a waffle with bacon. 💯
Tonight was our first time visiting The Rail but I hope it won’t be the last. From the atmosphere to the food to the service — everything was SPECTACULAR. We ordered drinks and the Spinach Dip appetizer which I thought was very good. The fried flour tortilla chips were unexpected but an excellent accompaniment to the dip. Our server (Skylar) listed the specials for the evening. All sounded wonderful but based on her recommendation, I chose the Sweet Heat Pork Chops with mashed potatoes and fresh veggie medley. My wife ordered the All American hamburger and fries. She was pleased with her selection. But, my oh my, the pork chops were wonderful — grilled to perfection surrounded by a buttery, sweet and spicy sauce. These were served along sides of red-skin mashed potatoes and garden fresh squash, zucchini and onion. Absolutely delicious. Even after such a fine meal, we succumbed to the allure of dessert; double dark chocolate cake and key lime pie. Both excellent. I highly recommend The Rail Public House and it will be high on my list of favorites, even if it is 1.5 hours away.
My boyfriend and I dined here last night, and we were so impressed by the experience. The staff was warm and attentive, and the manager went out of his way to make sure we were well taken care of. As a vegan, I often struggle to find options, but the manager kindly asked the chef to prepare a special dish just for me—and it was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his meal as well. The atmosphere, service, and food all made for a truly lovely evening. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates great food and thoughtful hospitality.
Service is awesome! Not the fastest on the actual food cooking but I assume everything is made fresh. And the wait is so worth it! The cheeseburger was delicious and juicy. A lot of places dry out the patties when it’s a well done burger. Not here-fantastic!!! The sidewinder fries are also great and not greasy. And the mashed potatoes were perfectly seasoned and buttery good. The restaurant was clean. The music was mellow and the atmosphere was romantic, modern, historic, and classy all in one.
