Reviews
"OMG!!! Get there as fast as you can! The food is not fancy, but it's good. I had a wonderful BLT. The chips are freshly made and are yummy. The bonus -- Bob was there and talked to us about how he is restoring the train. It was terrific!"
"Wonderful experience and great food. It is worth the trip to plan a meal here. Lots of photos to view, mostly of Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey circus history, but also some military and celebrity photos. Bob is a wealth of information on many topics. The train is authentic and adds to the experience. Don't go if you are in a hurry. There is too much to see."
"This place is wild. It is very cool that you're eating on a train. Bob is the only guy cooking all the food and for 80 years old he can crank it out pretty fast. I got a burger and fries with grilled onions. Well it was nothing super special it was still very fresh and hot and good. Everyone else that was with us seem to like what they got there is a fish sandwich and some salads as well. Bob came out from the kitchen since the place was closing up soon and he gave a very cool history lesson to us all and then we walked all the train cars to see the memorabilia. This place is an absolute treasure trove of pop culture. I definitely recommend coming here. It's kind of off the beaten path so maybe take a look at your GPS since you're driving through some parking lots It sort of seems sketchy but I assure you everything is fine. Looking forward to coming back and talking to Bob again."
"I must say I was a bit iffy about this place when I pulled up, however, when you go inside, it’s very nicely decorated very friendly people and great food, if you get a chance, try the brie and berry, compote, grilled cheese, or the ham Reuben!! Bob the owner who is also a World War II vet, was very friendly and showed us around all the parts of a train, it’s like a little museum in there and then he also has 100 your old piano that he fixed up and anybody can play, the back train car is being remodeled due to somebody, breaking in and vandalizing and robbing them, but the front still looks very nice, if you get a all the time and chance it’s a must to stop and eat there and look around, my daughter loved it and she is nine!"
"I like the fact that the restaurant is so unique and give different vibes and experience. The restaurant inside trains and there are some galleries at the back where there are lot of pictures of circus etc. We went there for Sunday brunch and the restaurant was packed. We got omelette. When it’s almost ready, Bob will call you to choose what kind of toppings you want for your omelette. And he likes to engage with the customers, which is nice. I’d definitely bring friends and family when they are coming for visit to this place! Make sure to check on their opening hours as they are open every day."
