    We took a ride on a train without going anywhere. We enjoyed a meal inside a train car converted into a restaurant. The restaurant is directly beside the hotel. Ask for a window seat. The view is beautiful. We watched the train take passengers several times during our meal. The menu includes red Birch Beer, my favorite soda. My breakfast was okay. The roasted potatoes aren't made fresh. They are delivered in frozen cubes and warmed. They weren't cooked evenly. They were good without being great. The eggs were yummy. Hubby liked his eggs & scrapple. Our server was dressed as a train conductor. We enjoyed the decor and theme. The gift shop had several railroad related items for sale. The train theme extends to the hotel and grounds. Even if you don't stay in one of the rail cars overnight, you can still enjoy a meal.

    This restaurant was right down the street from our campground we stayed there was a lot to see and buggy rides watching a train go by we waited for a table made reservations !! I tried the shepherds pie and my wife had the jack cheddar chicken both were very delicious

    Soup-Salad-Sandwich combo

    08/02/25 Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars (Alayna) Ambiance: 3 stars Cleanliness: 4 stars Noise: 1 star BIG tourist trap. And the restaurant is adjacent to the gift shop. So as your dining, the sounds & commotion associated with the gift shop fills your head. Kids crying as they're told no they can't have something, to people yelling across the shop, "hey look at this...!" All in all in was a good experience. Crowded and the restaurant had a 15-20 minute wait (which I think is to make you browse the gift shop, but that's my opinion). I had the Caboose Burger and my side chick had the soup-salad-sandwich combo. The burger was awesome. Compliments to the cook on that one. Desert I had the crumb apple pie (amazing!) and she had vanilla ice cream. The In closing if you like noisy tourist spots but with great food, you'll love Casey Jones.

    Having breakfast in an old rail car while watching the excursion trains from Strasburg railroad go by is pretty neat if you like trains. You also can watch the Amish till their fields depending on the season,although that can be pretty dusty too. The gift shop before the restaurant is loaded with rail fan options and local items. Spend some time to check it out if you need to wait for a table or before you leave. The breakfast itself was delicious. Staff was nice, food was quick and hot. Any time I am visiting PA my choice is going to be scrapple, and found theirs here to be good. The pancakes were just huge and filling.

    Restaurant at the Motel is a great experience.

    Really enjoy our time here. The 20 min wait wasn't too bad while we browsed the gift shop. food was good and service was good. Ambiance was friendly and quite busy.

    Bbq pulled pork sandwich

    We've seen signs for this place while driving in the area. I got the meatloaf, it was good just too soft for my liking. My wife got the bbq pulled pork sandwich, it was delicious! We also got the corn fritters, they were delicious, must dip them in the syrup. I would give this place 3.5 stars because the service was not good, our waitress took forever to come to us in the beginning, then did not come back when we needed refills, we sat there for 10 minutes thirsty. We most likely will return when in area. The restaurant was in train cars, clean.

    Eating in a train car (one from 1917 and the other 1920), I mean how cool is that?! The ambiance was great. If you sit in the newer car you can see the buggies as they go by. The food is just ok. Not bad but nothing special. We ate both dinner and breakfast in the restaurant, eating in both train cars. It was a nice experience, the staff was very friendly and the food was served quicky. It's convenient if you stay at the caboose motel which we did. I did not like the fact that they were strict about not letting adults eat from children menu, I don't like big portions and felt like a lot of my food was wasted because smaller options weren't available to me.

    Was driving to a Suite and happened to see the billboard advertisement for Casey Jones. When I stopped I took some time to check it out online and saw it was a railcar themed restaurant and was open later than other restaurants, closing around 8pm. Seemed like something new we wanted to try, so after shopping we headed over there. Noticed it was in the railroad area, passing the Mod train museum I bad been trying to go to. Restaurant was a little hard to find as it's inside the Train hotel. But once inside signs to the restaurant made it easy to find. We got there around 6:30pm and I would say it was half filled. Ordering was easy, food cane out in a timely manner. The Reuben sandwich Ibgot was very giod. Hot off the grill and plenty of pastrami. You have a choice of chips or fries. Did take some photos of the side area showing the Caboose motel cars.

    Burger

    The food was terrible and expensive. We had 3 entrees and 1 kids meal and it was almost $100. The meatloaf was so bad, burger and pasta were bland. My kid loves Mac and cheese but she did eat theirs. Overall, do not go there for the food

    Pot roast dinner
    Jamie B.

    Cute atmosphere. We were seated quickly on a late Sunday afternoon. There were only 2 other couples in the dining car so not sure why hostess seated us directly next to 1 of the couples. I asked to move seats. Our food was ok. I ordered a cup of chicken corn soup I've heard so much about and quite frankly I've had better soup from a can. I also had the pot roast dinner. Parts of my veggies were cold like they had just been heated up. My husband had the chicken dinner and thought it was ok. For the price of the meals, a dinner roll would have made a nice addition. We didn't opt for any dessert. Definitely a place for large tour groups coming thru the area.

    I stopped by here yesterday with my family for dinner. We had ridden the Strasburg Railroad earlier…read morein the day and were looking for a place to eat when I fired up Yelp and found the Tavern by Spring House Brewing. It is located on East Main Street in downtown Strasburg. The inside consists of a large main room with an L shaped bar, a number of TVs, and then a second dining room off to the side. Since no one was seated in the second room and we had twin four year olds with us, we chose that space. Unfortunately the TV in that room was broken, so we were not able to watch the Steelers game that was on. Aside from that, the room itself had a cozy and slightly eclectic feel. There was a decorated Christmas tree lit up in the corner near the staircase which gave the space a warm seasonal vibe. The walls were decorated with brewery signs and beer themed banners, and a bright yellow decorative mantel stood out against the darker wall colors. Overall it felt casual and welcoming and worked well for a family dinner. For dinner on this evening I went with the Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak while my wife chose the K Town Mac Bowl. The menu described my wife's dish as three cheese cavatappi pasta with smoked pork slaw, Korean BBQ drizzle, sesame seeds, and scallions. My sandwich was described as smoked chicken, American cheese, buffalo sauce, gorgonzola, onion frizzles, ranch drizzle, and a hoagie roll. I thought my sandwich ended up being good, especially since it was chock full of chicken. The hoagie roll was toasted and buttered nicely and added a good crunch, which the onion frizzles helped reinforce. The gorgonzola added a nice pungent pop of flavor. While I did get some buffalo flavor, I definitely could have used more. Because of that, the sandwich was a little on the drier side despite having cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch drizzle. My fries were seasoned and had a nice texture, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I decided to go with a flight here. At Spring House Brewing, a flight consists of four beers and I chose the Cucumber Salamander, Backroads Shadows, Daily Planet, and Love and Rockets. The Love and Rockets ended up getting mixed up and I was instead served Grease the Poles. I started with the Cucumber Salamander, which is a sour. It was a bit tart right from the start and that carried through to the finish, with a little extra pucker at the end. Up next was Backroads Shadows, a lager with a crisp, clean start before the malts came through on the finish. This felt like a really good easy drinking beer. Third was Daily Planet, an IPA that had citrus up front followed by a solid hop presence that carried through the finish. Last was Grease the Poles, a pale lager that started off very clean before finishing with some lighter hop notes. Out of the bunch, the Cucumber Salamander was definitely my favorite. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Our food and drinks were good, and I would be interested in trying more of their beers.

    Service was lacking. Waitress seemed annoyed and not happy. Wait was not long for a table but…read morewaited quite awhile to be greeted. Looked like there was only 2 servers for the entire place which was busy. My husband liked his chili, so that's the two star review. He said it had a lot of flavor. I had the brisket sandwich which was very small for the price with not a lot of meat. The meat had no flavor at all. Was not served with the au ju, which I had to ask for. Unfortunately, the au ju did not make it any better. The Cole slaw had a good flavor and was not sweet, so that was the best part of the food.

It was basically a restaurant with a huge gift shop, a toy store and restaurant that was so popular you'd have to wait an hour to get in. As a kid I loved it and I've develped a fondness for these touristy restaurants. Not tourist traps because those are usually overpriced and not good. Millers Falls into that category for me. It's a gigantic restaurant with several adjacent stores and lots of branded items. But the attraction of course is the smorgasbord. Yes, that's essentially a buffet if you're reading this from one of my home towns on the west coast or Southwest. The place is huge and you'd think it might be slow to get or confusing but it's extremely well run. There are multiple stations such as Salads, Local Favorites, Appetizers and the ubiquitous carving station. I'd say stay away from the carving station; the roast beef was dried and a little tough. But everything else was great and very fresh. Some highlights included brown butter noodles, chicken pot pie (sortof a dumpling) Cabbage bake and ham balls. All the regional PA specialties are really delicious. The pickled eggs, pickled beats and spicy gardinera were yummy too. A gooey oatmeal pie was a delightful and delicious desert, but there were dozens of deserts to choose from as well. The wait staff were friendly and super efficient. If you're visiting the Lancaster area it's well worth the visit.

    The service was excellent except for one thing that ultimately annoyed the heck out of me. Having…read morenever attended one of these buffets, I wasn't aware of all the idiosyncrasies connected with participation. When we sat down we were immediately approached by a very pleasant smiling server. Her first question was whether or not we had ever frequented Miller's before? We said that this was our first time. Question #2 -What can I get you to drink? She then rattled off all kinds of soft drinks. We asked for a raspberry tea and an unsweetened tea. She kept our glasses full throughout our lunch. I was surprised to see a charge of $3.99 per drink added to our bill. Now I don't consider myself cheap. BUT, please say "would you care to order some beverages? Since this is your first time drinks are not included" The food was possibly a step above a college cafeteria. When i asked one of the food attendants "where's the beef"? he replied only on weekends. If you like pork and ham you're in good hands- they had what looked like a compressed turkey breast as well. The potato soup was very good and the fried chicken acceptable. So i was looking forward to the desserts. I love cherry pie so i took a piece and a piece of yellow cake with chocolate frosting.. You have to understand they cut 10-12 pieces out of a pie, small servings. After one bite of each as i pushed them both aside my wife had a stunned look. Knowing they are my favorites she was shocked i wasn't eating them. They were absolutely not worth the calories. BTW the coffee was lukewarm and the cup size was 4oz. at best. I'm glad i got the Amish Country buffet out of my system and hope I saved you a trip and the $80+ we paid with the tip.
