I went here with my dad and brother before a track meet across the street at the New Balance Indoor track. This is the second time I have done this, and I hope to do it again. While I made a reservation ahead of time, there is plenty of seating inside. I found the food good enough to eat and come back, but I wasn't blown away by it. I had the lobster eggs Benedict, and the kale and brussel sprouts salad. The ambiance is hip but cozy. Food comes out quick, and service is pretty solid. I'd def come back.

This restaurant is cute and we stopped in because we were across the street at the New Balance track. The atmosphere was the only good thing about this place. We sat at our table for at least 20 minutes before a waitress came to give us water. The food took more than a half hour to come out. My husband's burger was over cooked, my sons burger was cold. And my grilled ham and cheese was awful. The bread was so hard I could barely bite into it, and the ham and cheese were literally ice cold. And the Butternut bisque that was served with it just tasted like a yellow tomato soup, with an apple slice on top which made it even more gross.

Really can’t justify spending $27 on the blandest poke bowl I’ve ever had. There wasn’t even sauce on it, or if there was there was so little you can’t taste it. I’ve spent far less on far better poke bowls

Service was extremely slow. Our waiter seemed frantic and overwhelmed with too many tables to manage. I asked for the bill and didn't see him again.

Cool vibe but service was terribly slow even when we tried to pay the bill quickly when getting our last drinks before a concert. Between both meals, one of us got food poisoning from a burger and the other's was horribly overcooked. Avoid.

Every month my friend and I go to the Rail Stop for lunch. By now we are known and greeted warmly by April the hostess and know the waiters and waitresses. We just love it, the food, the drinks the warm welcome. In today’s world of Fast Food and in attention , it is truly a gift to be known and well served.

Very crowded for a Wednesday night. The service was a little slow at first - took about 15 minutes to get a drink. But the food came out fairly quickly and was pretty good.

Drinks are good food is not. Flavorless and bland. I’ve tried three times now to like the food and it’s just not worth it to me. The chicken parm (sauce) tastes like chef boyardee, not worth the price at all. The poke bowl also flavors less

We ate here before a show at Roadrunner. Our server was Abdul. He was very friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed our food, the bread board, arancini, meatballs and my husband really liked the tacos. My drink was great, the Pear Necessity, and my husband said his Drunk on a Plane was good too. Very enjoyable meal, will definitely visit again when in the area.

It was a great experience! The waiter was awesome, and he was very attentive. The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was, too. I would highly recommend.

We had an amazing evening before catching a show at the RoadRunner. Food was spectacular, service was great. It was very busy and loud but not in a bad way. Just a heads up that it's not a quiet sit down place, it's popular and busy but very worth it!

The food is pretty good - a nice variety for your group to choose from. The cocktails were creative and well-balanced. Our server was great, but there are obviously too many tables for servers to cover, so you won't get frequent check ins, topped-up waters, or opportunities to order more drinks easily. The drinks took quite awhile to come, and arrived only a minute or two before the food. Can't beat the location across from Roadrunner though, if you're going to see a show!

The PERFECT spot for a double date night before a show at the Roadrunner. Drinks and food were delicious!!
