About Bob's Train

Bob's Train offers a unique dining experience that combines delicious home-cooked meals with a fascinating exploration of circus history. Housed within three refurbished train cars, the restaurant provides a nostalgic ambiance filled with memorabilia and stories from the owner, who has a personal connection to the Ringling circus. The menu features a wide variety of omelets, as well as dishes like pine nuts, artichokes, and hearts of palm, all served at very reasonable prices. Recent reviews highlight the great inside seating, friendly service from Nova, and the welcoming atmosphere that makes visitors feel like family. Visitors are encouraged to take a stroll through the train cars to fully immerse themselves in the captivating blend of past and present, and to enjoy the history and circus memorabilia that decorate the space. Although the exterior may look rough and the location can be a little hard to find, stepping into the dining car feels like stepping back in time. The food may be simple, but the experience and friendly staff make it a highly recommended visit.
