    So cute and such a fun environment! Perfectly curated to be a social setting without feeling too packed - hoping they do this event (or a similar non beer garden event) again soon!!!

    Service was great. Apps were good but entrees (chicken sandwich, salmon burger) were rather lukewarm and meh. Fries were hot.

    Someone from our party has a good amount of allergies which are sometimes difficult to accommodate. Server was great at communicating with the kitchen. Kitchen did a great job of adjusting what they could! It was a great visit... server was attentive, drinks were great, food was very good. I'm looking forward to my next visit!!

    Ive been here several times. The food is always good. Got the blacken chicken tacos this time. About a zero on the spice level so I’d ask for hot sauce. Cajun fries were delicious. Service great. Pretty quiet even thought it was a concert night at Roadrunner.

    It's always a pleasure to see you come through our doors, Kristine! Thank you for commenting on our attentive team and tasty fare. We're looking forward to your next visit to the Rail Stop Restaurant & Bar!

    The food is excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to find parking for lunch. It was easy to get a table for our group, and it was quiet enough that we could easily hear each other. The sun was pretty bright, but they were kind enough to lower a shade.
