About Freight House Restaurant

The Freight House Restaurant offers top-notch food and service in a unique and historic setting. The building's old wood, bricks, and 13” brick walls create a cozy atmosphere that transports guests to another time, making it a favorite for history enthusiasts. The lighting is darker inside, setting a warm mood, and diners are greeted and seated promptly. The staff, including friendly servers like Mandy, are attentive and caring, even if they are new to waitressing. Recent guests have praised the delicious food, especially the fried green tomatoes, and noted the friendly service. One diner described the 12oz ribeye as tender and beautifully presented, with onion straws and sweet potato casserole that left a lasting impression. The sweet tea is also highly recommended, being the best in a long time. The location provides memorable views of CSXT trains passing by, adding to the experience. Despite some mixed reviews about dishes like the catfish, trainmaster steak, and 12oz ribeye, many visitors feel the atmosphere and historic features, such as the brick walls and concrete floors, make the restaurant a hidden gem in Downtown Hartselle. Overall, it continues to attract both locals and travelers seeking good food, friendly service, and a unique setting.

My husband and I stopped in tonight on our way to Nashville. First time eating here, the bourbon brown sugar ribeye was the best steak I have ever eaten! The food and service were excellent. We will definitely be back.

Late lunch today and had the pleasure of having Lauren as our server! She was friendly, knowledgeable and so sweet and genuine ♥️ And the food? AMAZING! 10/10 would recommend

We came in today about 1:30, and the restaurant closes at 2 pm on Sundays, which I didn't look at until I was almost there, lol. We were greeted very warmly and our server, Lauren, was just incredible. The salad was fresh and the food was wonderful. I can't wait to come back!!
