They've removed some of my faves so that was a bummer. Burgers are great though. They have a deep fried burger but I think it had too much batter on it.

This is a cute little cafe with good food and a nice comfort vibe. We aren’t from here so we were looking for a simple little place to grab some lunch, and this was a great choice. Three of us ordered their bacon mushroom and Swiss burger and it was really good! I do wish the burger was a tad bigger to fill the bun, but it was really filling and I couldn’t even finish mine anyways, so I’m not sad about it. We tried the potato babies and they are these little crispy potato wedges that we really enjoyed! They don’t have seasoning on them, which would be my only complaint, but we dipped them in ranch and that was perfect! My Granny ordered their chef salad and said it was one of the best she’s had in a long time. She really appreciated how the lettuce was cut in to bite size pieces and the variety of tasty toppings. We absolutely recommend this spot if you’re looking for some tasty, home cooked style food.

We did wait a little while for the food but it was worth the wait. We got poboys and they were great. Definitely will return and highly recommend

This was our first time trying this place out since the new owners have taken over. The poboy was well worth what I paid for it. It was delicious. We even got an extra cup of gravy to sauce it up good it was like $12 for the Po-Boy and it was huge. We got a fry for like three dollars and something hot fries was delicious. The best sweet tea I’ve had in a while. They brought our drinks and our food out to us. Service was awesome. We will be back. We were very satisfied with everything.

Staff were very friendly, felt like you were talking to a neighbor in there, probably bc you are. The dining room has a very old school rustic feel and they play old country music. I ordered lunch to go and it was made fresh and quick. I drove 25 min to home and my wife and I were pleased to see the food was still hot and crispy. It was delicious, they have excellent ranch as well. 10/10 would go again

(For The Railway Cafe) Huge proportions. Super friendly staff. If eating there on a Friday night I would recommend calling ahead be they can get busy. Otherwise, it typically took me about 10/15 minutes to get my food during the week. Good people have great comfort food. Burgers are massive! And ice cream is great too!Great for kids or a young couple's date night.
