The restaurant is located inside an actual historic railroad depot dating back to 1883, and the building alone is worth seeing. The dark wood, massive beams, staircases, vintage clocks and railroad memorabilia give the place a wonderful atmosphere. There are even stained-glass windows that were rescued from a church in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I started with the Overseas Railroad, a fruity blue cocktail that was refreshing and dangerously easy to drink. Probably a good thing I wasn't the engineer. My wife ordered the ribeye, which came out sizzling and cooked to a perfect medium-rare, with loaded mashed potatoes and green beans. I had the Maple Glazed Salmon with long-grain wild rice and green beans. The salmon was tender and moist, and the sweet maple glaze complemented it nicely. The green beans deserve a special mention because they had just the right amount of crunch and snap. We finished by sharing a warm salted caramel cookie with white chocolate chips and pretzel pieces, topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel. It was the perfect ending to an excellent meal. Great food in a beautiful old building filled with history. The trains may no longer stop here, but Trainwreck Grill & Ale House gives you a pretty darn good reason to.

It's the kind of classic small‑town breakfast that feels familiar in the best way, nothing fancy, just really good food, big portions, and prices that make you double‑check the bill because it's that reasonable. We literally drive 35 minutes out of the way every year because it's worth it. The service has always been great and genuinely kind every time we've gone.

Blueberry pancakes were light and fluffy, and stuffed with so many fresh picked blueberries I almost thought I ordered the cobbler.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, love that they implement the little "library" where you can take a book & leave a book. The fireplace is unique and pretty, too. They also have gifty goods that you can buy. The food was good, my friend enjoyed her quiche and I had a bagel with smoked salmon- there was a drizzle of a honey and I thought it was such a nice touch! I had wanted to try their lavender latte but they were out of the syrup. I tried their hazelnut instead and did not enjoy it at all. It tasted like sweet milk, it didn't seem like there was any coffee in it at all. To me, coffee should be the star and it just wasn't. My hope is that if I give them another try the coffee will be much better.

Situated in my girl's hometown, this cafe certainly offers something unique for this community…read more With its straight and flavored coffees, small plates, bakery items, welcoming atmosphere, and drive thru, it has found a comfortable niche. Vicksburg is too small of a market to attract a Water Street or a Starbucks, and so far there is no Biggby's. Windfall's only breakfast competitors are two traditional diners: Yogi's (situated a mile or so to the west) and Rise N Dine (downtown). We happened to meet our niece this morning, just by luck, so we ate and drank and caught up. The cafe has counter service. My girl had a water and the Grilled Breakfast Wrap (described as "bacon, egg, & cheese wrap grilled to a crispy outside & melted inside served with garden salsa"), our niece had a coffee and the Spinach Quiche, and I had a coffee and the Biscuit and Gravy. The breakfast entrees are all small plates and were priced as such ($3.95 - 4.25). The entire breakfast for the three of us was $17. We ate in what the cafe describes as its "Green Room." Though Prairie Street is a main thoroughfare into Vicksburg from the west, we didn't hear that much road noise. The food was yummy though I thought my coffee was stunningly bitter.

As…read moreit turned out we could have skipped the reservation as we were seated without confirmation. The cozy restaurant is in the country near a lake, has several acres of bird trails which we checked out after dinner, and gets good reviews. The good reviews were obviously not for the holiday buffet which consisted of two small serving stations - one for salad and one for main course items. The salad table was very basic with very limited items. We skipped a few things that appeared to be commercial macaroni/coleslaw salads with unknown ingredients and just stuck with the few fresh standards, a little grated cheese, and the single dressing offered (ranch? blue cheese?). The main table items were boring standards: potatoes, tasteless chopped turkey and ham slices, pre-sliced overdone beef swimming in something, nondescript gravy (from a jar?), mac and cheese, green bean casserole hot dish and cold, dried out deep fried fish and shrimp. Far and away the best part of our dinner were the desserts which were not included in the price of the buffet. The dinner, with wine, for two was over $125. We are guessing a meal from the menu on some other day might be better as the inn seems to be popular. However on this day the area around the buffet and reception areas were gridlock with elbow to elbow dinners. We laughed afterward that we could have had better food and variety at much less cost at somewhere like County Buffet or a simular chain.
