This place was great! The devil eggs of the week were yummy. We decided each to try two different burgers and share them. They were both amazing. Our server was very nice also. The atmosphere was so welcoming, I'd love to sit inside next time or near a fire on a palet bench. A few people were leaving with their dogs also.

RailPenny is a great place for good food and friendly staff. We've been there a bunch since it opened and will keep coming back.

Update: Been here over 150 times in 7 years...more.... Used to come once a week for years with kids. Since posting a 5 star review 7 years ago, it has gone down. We stopped coming a year ago because inconsistent food and prices way up. Went in last night, Tuesday, after waiting a long time after ordering entrees, we had to leave. They offered to cancel our dinner or pack them up to go. Not happy with that. Ruined our night. Pack up a cheeseburger to eat cold later because it took so long? Food just OK. Waitress said "if you're not happy, you don't have to come back". Ok. we won't.

We come to the area for work regularly, and just discovered this spot. Everything was great! They had a lovely patio, and the food was just what we needed. My partner has been thinking about his chicken sandwich since!

Dietary restrictions: Okay for GF. Everything was well labeled.

We sat inside, and it was such a nice atmosphere! Our server was super nice, and everything was delicious. I got the braised short ribs and they were definitely melt in your mouth. The green beans were perfectly cooked, and the potatoes were to die for (and i'm not a potato person!) The flavor was amazing! My friend got the Mom's mac and cheese and let me have a taste, and oh my goodness... I could have eaten the whole bowl! Highly suggest getting the smaller size, as this was just enough to feed a grown man.

Parking: The only downside is that the parking is pretty tight, so if you're meeting a large party, maybe consider carpooling our of courtesy of other patrons.

We held our daughter’s birthday party on the back patio and it couldn’t have been a better place for kids and parents! The staff was friendly and accommodating, the food was great, and having the downstairs bar was really convenient. Turns out Railpenny is a hidden gem for events.

Like this place very much and feel like it's just gotten better over time and so glad they brought back some brunch items to the weekend menu. Will be returning for sure.

I was fine with my meal because it was slammed ever where else and for what I was originally expecting it wasn’t mind blowing but the drinks were good enough to keep me happy. The short rib was lack luster for 30$ and the steak was about the size of a Wendy’s chicken sandwich patty but it was fine I was still in a good mood. That is until dessert. The person I was with got essentially was just caramel chocolate pudding the only complaint there was there was just primarily caramel and not enough pudding and the caramel was under cooked AND STILL mood was up. Then we got to the strawberry shortcake. I learned today that there are people who don’t know how to make strawberry shortcake. I’ve had strawberry shortcake cake on top of everything from biscuits to English muffins and they’ve all been fine. Here however was the first time I’ve ever had what I can only assume was undercooked cornbread that they thought they could finish in the microwave and when it hit the table the cake was still steaming hot from when it left the microwave. Unfortunately for me I was under the impression that it was that vapor you see when things just get out of the freezer but I was mistaken. What I was greeted with was a very hot cake, warmed strawberries, and the most bewildering sadness from having worst strawberry shortcake to date. Who microwaves strawberry shortcake?!! The servers were great I don’t want this to be a slight on them but what savage thinks strawberry shortcake is supposed to be hot.

The apps were good! The drinks tasted good! But for the price, they better. The drinks were priced $13-$16.
When it comes to the dinner..I'm hoping we caught them on a bad night...my husband go the chicken which I think was $32...the serving size was abominable. The chicken breast was SOOO small. And the waitress said it's because it's organic...we get organic chicken from our neighbors meat birds, we know the breasts are not that small?! The rice they gave was maybe 1/3 of a cup. Horrible price for the size. He said it tasted ok though.
I got the steak frites. $36. The steak was bland as all get out. And small. Of course. The fries were SO SO SO SALTY. I had my husband try and he spit them out! Couldnt eat them!
Side note: they charge $2 for a side of bread with two pieces....This place is out for your wallet.
For the prices they charge, they need to step it up. We won't be back nor will be recommending.

Absolutely deplorable, don’t waste your time with this place. Cobb salad $17 and $10 for a 3.5 oz piece of chicken that came out when everyone else was done town their dinner. No attempts to correct or resolve. Definitely don’t bother stopping here. And fyi I’m writing this review while waiting for a side of Mayo for the chicken that came out well after the salad. Oops got go now Mayo finally made it after the waitress delivered 4 other multi drink orders.

The waiting staff was great! However the kitchen staff clearly doesn’t care about people’s dietary and health needs when making specific requests. We had to send items back on three separate occasions on the same visit. When you ask for something on the menu, and it’s brought to you wrong, the solution is to not simply scrape off the harmful ingredient that could cause harm to the patron to hide the mistake. You make them a brand new plate. Very disappointed and will not return.

We enjoyed the Tuesday $1.00 oysters.

Chicken sandwich was ok. Servers were friendly, but very slow service. Not many people eating outside, but our dinner took about two hours, from being seated to paying the bill. Possibly inside was slammed.

Outside seating is nicely laid out. Many customers had dogs and some were off leash roaming. Road noise is very loud. Many loud motorcycles inhibiting conversation.

Definitely check it out for a nice casual spot with a diverse menu and beers.

Parking: Small lot. Fills up
