Went for Trivia Night! I love a good trivia game, even though I absolutely suck at trivia. I still…read morealways enjoy going, and my girl friend and I had a great time. The Front Porch is always such a calm and relaxed atmosphere, which makes it a nice place to hang out. The loaded tater tots were delicious! The potatoes were nice and crispy, topped with green scallions, cheese, and bacon. That combination paired perfectly together! I also wanted to give the wings another try because I thought maybe the first time they just didn't hit because of the sauce. Unfortunately, I had the same experience this time. The wings are HUGE, but the flavors just don't do it for me. I ordered the hot honey and lemon pepper flavors. The hot honey was definitely more honey than hot, although I knew there was some heat there because I ended up with heartburn. The lemon pepper wings were also pretty light on the seasoning, and I definitely wanted more of that lemon pepper flavor. Overall, I'm not really a fan of the wings, but the loaded tater tots were definitely a win! I'd still come back for Trivia Night and the laid-back atmosphere.

This is your typical bar food, but honestly, it's better than most bar food I've had. The menu has…read morea good variety, and I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered. The onion rings are especially good--crunchy, flavorful, and definitely worth trying. The sliders are another great choice, packed with plenty of flavor, and the chicken and waffles are cooked well and satisfying. The atmosphere is part of what makes this place fun. I enjoy the dark aesthetic, the comfortable bar seating, and the occasional live performances from local bands. It can get quite crowded on weekends and during major sporting events, which is a testament to how popular it is with the locals. The restaurant has two entrances, which is convenient depending on where you're seated. Even when the place gets busy, the bartenders do a great job of checking in on customers and keeping the service attentive. Overall, it's a fun spot with good food, a lively atmosphere, and a comfortable bar. Whether you're stopping by for a casual meal, watching a game, or listening to a local band, it's a place I enjoy coming back to.

We have been going to the Rail Yard Tavern for the last 4 years. I only have one complaint. It can…read morebe loud. But it is also a bar so that is a bit understandable. The food never disappoints. They serve pizza's that my wife and I will usually split as an appetizer. They do a 10" and a 16" pizza. We always split a 10" and they are always good. They have a traditional type of bar menu. Sandwiches, burgers, steaks, pasta etc. They also have a very good bar with many draft beer choices. We have been making our way around the menu but my go to is the rail yard melt on rye instead of the roll. All the people who work there are great. If you are looking for a place to go that is simple and always good the Rail Yard tavern is worth a try. They also have a gluten free section to there menu.

10/5 Stars!! We…read morerecently had my Mom's 60th birthday party at the Railyard Tavern. I worked with Bob in coordinating everything. He was very accommodating and quick to reply to email. He was a big help in answering any question I had. Our party was roughly 25 people and we reserved the back room for the party. The back room was big enough for all of us to fit comfortably without it feeling cramped. We ordered the apps ahead of time and were told that they would be ready at 5:30. Sure enough, at 5:30 all of the apps came out and they were a big hit. Everything was fantastic. We got some large pizzas, nachos, mozzarella sticks, potstickers, and calamari. There was practically nothing left. The entree's were great and came without delay. I didn't hear a single complaint from any of the guests. I'd be remiss if I didn't talk about our waiter for the night, Alan. I don't think I've ever seen someone be so on top of things before. He handled the whole room essentially by himself and somehow it never seemed like there was a single hiccup the whole night. He was beyond excellent. He was such a good communicator and kept me in the loop with timelines and was overall very organized. He played a significant role in the night going as well as it did. My whole family, and most importantly my mom, had such a wonderful night. And I have Bob, Alan, and the rest of the staff to thank for that.

It barely had onions in it and it was a twist to the normal original French onion soup. I was quite disappointed. The kids pizza wasn't fully cooked on the bottom. The Mac and cheese had a weird taste to it. The slice steak had zero flavoring to it. The Caesar salad was a disappointment because we requested not as much as the dark section of the lettuce and clearly that was all that was given. The waitress was great. The ambiance is very casual.
