Food was hot & fresh ; service & servers excellent & friendly; unique environment, railroad car was fun with a sports ( OSU Buckeyes) theme. Despite enjoying the experience overall, I am unlikely to return. A bit pricey for a sandwich & fries, ( $14.00 -$15.00 with water) but with inflation & pricing out of control in America, not totally out of line. Simply can no longer afford the casual eating out any longer on a fixed income.

Cool train diner!

Well worth the stop if you are travelling I71. All you can eat fish today! And, I highly recommend any of their burgers. I don't know what they do to make those, and the fries sooo good! Happy belly here!

I don't understand the allure. Food is fried, greasy, too salty and the mac and cheese so dry it stuck in my throat. Stand like fast food to order, then brought to table by a very grumpy woman who had taken our order at the window. Dirty floors, windows and flies . Been there several times, always the same...cant recommmend it. Unless you're a kid fascinated with trains and dont mind tacky.

Classic decor showing it's age but that just added to the experience. Portion sizes were huge and food was delicious.

Not fancy. Food is good. Sort of a dump hit the food is good. Usually looks Like it's closed but the food is good. Nice servers. Met the owner who was on site.

You walk in & order as soon as you get in the door & then seat yourself. It was fun eating in the train car and I loved all the Buckeye memorabilia. There was 1 girl waiting the entire place but she was on the ball & was personable. Burgers were good. I had a Woody burger & my wife had the bacon cheese burger. Fries were great & you get a ton. A big part of the lower score is that the whole place needed a good cleaning.

Amazing place - friendly service and good food. This venue is in a disused train and has things to do for kids - a sand pit, wooden train climber, and you can ring the train bellVegetarian options: Grilled cheese, mac and cheese and other sides are on offer

Please take 10 minutes to fix the children’s train that has screws sticking out and a board busted that is a huge tripping hazard. Putting up a sign that says play at your own risk isn’t going to help a small child.

Drove out of our way on the way home to stop here because it looked cool. Got held up on the way and made it there at 720pm. Door was locked but sign said open. Hostess told us orders only accepted until 715pm. I do usually try not to get somewhere right at close and hadn't planned to do so this time, but pretty frustrated to be turned away when the place is still "open" according to the sign and the hours listed online...
