Mt. Rainier Railroad Dining Co.

Delicious food and friendly staff

We didn't eat here but cool ambiance. People there eating seem to be having good time

Bartender asked me to close my tab while I was in the middle of my meal. Why? Because she was leaving and wanted her tip. Very unprofessional. Who is the customer here? Who is supposed to cater to who?
Would not recommend.

Food was horrible, bloody Mary is served with no ice or veggies, raw potatoes, eggs grossly undercooked ham steak was burnt to a crisp as well. Asked for a side of their homemade sausage gravy, clearly it's not homemade and it was 7.50 for a small side of it! Needless to say we left paying for the coffee and bloody Mary since we did drink those. We live locally and finally decided to give them a chance. Will not be going back.

I love love this restaurant is amazing

Too expensive $ 22.99 for a burger and fries. In my opinion outrageous, nothing special about the burger either.

We decided to have lunch at the Mt. Rainier Railroad Dining Co. for the experience. Although the menu we found online didn’t seem particularly impressive, our curiosity got the best of us. I love unique, authentic, and charming places, and this dinner certainly fits the bill.

We were quickly seated at a lovely window table, which was a nice touch! We ordered the BBQ pulled pork fries and sliders, and while the food was just okay, the atmosphere and overall experience made it worth it!

Stopped on our way to RailCycle. Service was fantastic! Very kind and friendly staff.

I wholeheartedly regret eating here. The novelty of dining on an old train wore off as soon as we entered this establishment. 30 dollars for a plate of meatless (restraunt failed to add the italian sausage to this dish (irrelevant as the vegetarian/meatles variation of this plate is also 30 dollars)) spaghetti seemingly assembled from ingredients you could find at the gas station across the street for 1/6th the cost was disappointing, unfufilling and obviously overpriced. About the same could be said for the equally priced chicken fried steak we paid for which was slathered with gravy that likely contained all of the salt your body could process in a month and the accompanying 1/4 cup of plain steamed green beans from a can.

Lining the wndow panes within one side of the dining car are little printed newspaper clippings detailing rave reviews of this restraunt from the 90s. These are neat to look at while you eat - better slightly than the 'TRUMP' shipping container across the street that accounts for the view in the other direction - but the days of this place being a decent option for a hungry traveler are definitely in the past. If Scaleburgers across the street is open, eat there instead, otherwise just keep driving.. good luck!

The food is kind of okay, BUT: The amount of meat in the dishes is very small. Lots of fries or pasta but just a tiny amount of meat in the pasta and a McDonalds-worthy patty in the burger. The service is extremely slow, and that's at "less busy than usual" time. Pricey for the food they have. And the vile servers quietly charged an extra $5 in tips, which I discovered only in my credit card bill. Never again I'm going there.

3 stars for the vibe. Food is ok but I cannot justify the price ($30 burger with tax and tips). There was only one lady doing everything on busy Sat noon, so super slow in service, and we self-serviced on seating/water/check. Food came 40min after order placed.
