“ SUPER CUTE place and amazing food. We drove by and my bro had a faint memory of being here a decade ago. We turned around and came back to dine in. Glad we did! It is an old rail car from 1893 that was converted into a restaurant. It has a rich and interesting history. Lots of cute antique memorabilia behind glass in the rail car section. Look at the back page of the menu to read about its history. Very neat. An excellent selection of food and very good quality meals. Sheri T. waited on us and provided great service. Super friendly and patient with us. Mom had a chicken salad croissant sandwich and my bro and I split a blackened ahi tuna burger with a side of tater tots. MMMM one of the best ahi tuna sandwiches I've had. It had a nice toasted bun and thin slices of fresh avocado. Nice touch. The tater tots were crispy but not greasy, and very good. The interior of this restaurant is adorable. Lots of things to look at. We really thought it was beautiful and fun. Definitely worth another stop next time we are in town. And yes we all had sandwiches in Sandwich ha ha. ”
“ Cute setup, friendly service and great food. I did carry out but would love to go back and sit down. ”
“ The place, being an old train, is unusual and very cool inside !!I wish I would've thought to take photos. But aside from this, I had to go ahead and leave a review bc the food is SO worth the visit!! I'm shocked this place doesn't have 5 stars. The waitress was great- attentive, personable. The food was AMAZING!! We three ladies are kinda picky, and everything we had passed our test. The mushroom soup and margaritas were the best we've ever had !! That's saying a lot from 50-something food snobs. We highly recommend this place!! ”
“ Great food, friendly staff, adorable restaurant! I've only been here a few times, but each time has been great. We'll definitely return! ”
“ Great food. Clean environment. Just really hot in the summertime inside. Love their soft pretzels & blt wraps. ”
“ We had the most amazing service and food here. We sat at the bar on Monday night for the burger special on President's Day and Nico was phenomenal. He had a full bar, was making drinks for the servers, and was talking tables and he did it brilliantly. He was engaging, funny, and helped us decide what to drink. He actually made us specialty cocktails. Oh, and he checked the ingredients in the dressings to make sure we could eat them because of an allergy. If you want to have fun and laugh I highly recommend sitting at the bar with him. The burgers were awesome, $8 with fries and the meat is fresh from Dave's Meat Market on Mondays. Seriously, go here and sit with Nico, he's awesome!!! ”
“ This is the place to go for a great sandwich in Sandwich. The best way to experience it is with a group of friends. Arrive early so you can request seating in the train car before it fills up. Fer heaven's sake, don't be in a rush because, like so many restaurants nowadays, they're perpetually short of help. We enjoyed friendly service and pub grub that was farrr above average. The fried pickle and fried green tomato apps are among the best we've had anywhere. Their hefty half-pound burgers rival places that specialize in gourmet burgers. The house apple slaw rocks. You wouldn't expect their pressed Cuban sandwich to stand out, but it was amazing. The chicken pesto sandwich and shrimp basket, too, received high marks from our companions. Of course, there's plenty of good stuff to drink. ”
