Chowder was sour, service was slow and not respectful . Would never go back.

First visit to Rod & Rail. Cute place in Buzzards Bay. I was looking for a decent burger and they did not disappoint. It's so hard to find decent burgers these days. I opted to pay a little more for the crispy tater tots and they were actually crispy! Worth another visit.

surprisingly creative menu comprised of fresh, scratch made food and an excellent local beer selection. Fast service and friendly staff too. I’ll be back soon

A group of 6 retired high school buddies had lunch there today. Food was excellent, service was great. Smash burger was amazing but the tater tots are to die for!!!

The stuffed pretzels are a perennial favorite and I love the Apres seltzers they have. This most recent trip my son and I tried the donut sundae and HOLY CRAP. It’s out of this world. The flavor profile reminds me of fried ice cream from El Torito’s back in the day. Four fresh donut holes (bigger than the ones at Dunk’s) with caramel sauce, ice cream, and homemade whipped cream. I’ll be dreaming of coming alone and not having to share next time!

Great food, atmosphere, and drinks. Small menu which I’m glad bc you know things are fresh! Been here a few times and it never disappoints! I got the smash burger which was amazing with their RR sauce and my wife got the tenders, both were so good. The tenders were not frozen, homemade and fresh! We will definitely be back again.

I was so excited to have booked my boyfriend and I an Easter brunch here. We got there and we weren’t asked if we had a reservation which was ok because it wasn’t too busy yet, however I would have preferred to sit in the main restaurant and not their donut shop especially because I called ahead. We sat down and I chose a cocktail to have, my boyfriend was struggling to find something he liked on the menu so I suggested to him to order something simple he liked: a vodka Red Bull. The owner saw him struggling for a while and we joked about it, because my boyfriend picked his food before he picked his drink. Once he finally received his drink it was very flat, and syrupy. He took one sip and asked me to taste it, it was pretty flat and disgusting. I told him to just send it back and get a soda, not thinking much of it. He told our waitress he didn’t like it and she took it back from him at the same time we put in for food. The female owner who had made conversation minutes earlier came running towards are table with his same drink and a shot glass with a small amount of Red Bull in it to show my boyfriend. She told my boyfriend that Red Bull is known to be lightly carbonated and he should’ve known this before ordering his drink and she was willing to go to bat for her bartender. I was in complete shock in her demeanor and unprofessionalism, her waitress was visibly uncomfortable and stood in a corner as she continued to confront my boyfriend for sending back his drink. He told her again that he disliked it and why, and she maintained that he was in the wrong and he should have known what he ordered and that she was not afraid to go ā€œtoe to toeā€ with him. Personally I have never experienced such poor customer service in my life, and the rude and condescending attitude towards my boyfriend caused him to want to leave immediately. I tried to end the conflict by offering to pay for what we had drank. I had finished my cocktail and had asked to pay for my drink and his that she refused to remake or replace. She brings me back a check with the food we haven’t received yet on it and says she’s not taking it off but she can pack it up for us. The total for the 2 drinks steak and cheese, chicken tender and fries was $80. My boyfriend saw the $80 receipt and for my sake he apologized to her for getting so upset, though she started the conflict and offered no apology. Not to mention both of our entrees were $2-3 more than what was listed on her menu. She left the same drink he sent back on our table and didn’t offer to get him anything else. She charged us $10 for the vodka Red Bull. We stayed and ate our brunch in uncomfortable silence which I could barely stomach because of my anxiety from the confrontation. I actually am a local who has come to the Road and Rail the last 3 years with friends, family and my boyfriend. This was his first experience at the restaurant and I am incredibly disappointed and embarrassed for recommending this restaurant with the owners lack of respect towards her customers and I am not sure if it was because we are in our early 20s or that we are an interracial couple, or this is her as a person. I will not be returning to this restaurant again and regret spending hundreds of dollars as a local here, not to mention my friends and family members who have spent money here. I hope that she considers not only the poor quality drink but the blatant disrespect worth losing loyal customers.

We finally stopped in for lunch and happy we did. Great, friendly service and food! I had the BLT and my husband had the Cod Sandwich. Soooo good and the french fries are the best we have had, eating out! We will be back for sure 😁 Highly recommend!

Best burgers I've had in the 4 years I've been in Mass. Had the smash burger, daiquiri and bag of donuts and couldn't be happier. The daiquiri isn't frozen.

The music was way too loud. Two of our meals, the fried cod and the fried chicken were overcooked. We were on a tight schedule so we didn't ask for anything different but we did ask the server to let the cook know that the cod especially was overcooked. The owner or cook came over and proceeded to say that they make them the same every time and that they're award winning or something like that. On our way out, I overheard him complaining about us to two other patrons. It costs way too much to eat out to be subjected to subpar food and arrogant behavior. Bottom line, we won't be back.
