    We arrived tired and worn out at our hotel after a 10-hour drive and were just looking for something close to have a bite to eat before retiring for the day. We got lucky here. Great food, nice cocktail and beer selection, decent service and reasonable prices. What more could you ask for? Well, one of our salads was missing some of the ingredients listed in the description, but our server quickly brought it out to us. Since the weather was nice, we sat out on the patio, people watching since there is a small park across the street. It's worth a visit in my opinion.

    Had some drinks at the bar prior to a show at the Armory. Great location. They have patio seating as well as seating options inside. We originally sat a high top table inside and waited a few mins with no server approaching us so when spots at the bar opened up, we moved right over. The bartenders were friendly and attentive and my strawberry mule was delish.

    We came to off the rails prior to a show at the armory next door as it came highly recommended. Upon walking in the entire establishment is seat yourself and then a server comes to you with drink and food menus. We ordered the birria tacos to share because I was super hungry and it was a very large portion. One taco is huge and I ate maybe half and was super full. The tacos have seasoned beef roast and short ribs, slow roasted in a rich adobe sauce. 3 tacos built with onions, cilantro and chihuahua cheese. Fried to perfection in a 6' corn tortilla and served with consume for dipping. All for only $12.95 which is a bargain! The inside is very industrial almost reminds me of a brewery.

    Not great, Bob! Only makes sense to go to Off the Rails if you're right there for an event and don't mind if it takes a while. Service is inattentive at best. Apps are mediocre, though the burgers looked better. I don't mind that they host acoustic singers on their little patio, but the rest of the place feels Cowboy Jack's Lite.

    Sourdough grilled cheese and chili

    Good food, friendly staff. My only complaint was the chili I had with the grilled cheese lunch special was lukewarm.

    an empty sidewalk in a city

    This was my first time in this establishment. And was invited for a work happy hour. As you approach the establishment you will see a large area of umbrellas along with a bar done I'm a modern open concept. The bar was well lit and not hot inside. The beer was ice cold and lthe food was delicious. The service was second to none and made sure we had a great time..

    I went there a few weeks ago and I loved the shrimp they had there for an appetizer and then I tried their blackberry burger which didn't really taste like blackberry but it was still good nonetheless. Ambiance was nice too.

    Cheese curds
    Jimmy A.

    Honestly, I didn't love this place the first time I visited in 2023. Things took a positive turn in the summer of 2024. Great drinks, that are well priced and even a bit creative. Served quickly and efficiently with an amazing view of the stadium as well as downtown East's coolest park. The vibe is great on a nice day either way a great outdoor patio. The food is solid .. sliders and fried cheese curds. Love the sandwiches also. Yes, it's basic and delicious . Servers are pleasant and a bit slow. Great place to park before a giants game or a concert.

    Bang Bang Shrimp
    Carlos B.

    Had the Bang Bang Shrimp and...it was missing a Bang. I ordered this dish thinking it would be spicy, given the name. The shrimp were cooked right and the batter was crispy but it lacked the spicy part. Maybe because it's downtown and the patrons are mostly non-spicy food consumers, but it lacked that kick I was hoping for. It came with some celery, wilted (probably 3 day old) pieces. As I picked up the rubbery pieces they just felt as if they were cut a few days ago and left out on the cutting table. The blue cheese dip was too watery as well. It didn't have the chunks I'm used to having in it. Maybe a second time will better.

When I go to new cities, I typically seek out food that is specific to the region and thus a little more interesting to me. You can get a burger anywhere, and a cheese filled patty, aka a "Juicy Lucy", didn't sound like something I needed to try. But my husband kept talking about it and really seemed bent on having one so we decided to come here to try it out. We showed up during their happy hour, from 4-5pm, and they had $5 draft beers. Score! It's a cute place with ample seating, nice natural light from the large windows, and a relaxed atmosphere. I ordered the Juicy Lucy, a burger patty stuffed with cheese and topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and pub sauce. I chose the Impossible patty version, but you can also get it with their house made black bean burger. Hubby chose the Garlic Girl, a black bean cheeseburger topped with bacon (also made in-house), berbere aioli, lettuce, and pickled onion. Each burger came with fries. Both burgers were spectacular and delicious in their own way. The bacon on hubby's burger was incredible, and his burger was rich and satisfying. By my Juicy Lucy, oh my... Every bite was a flavor explosion and intensely delicious without being a gut bomb shockingly. To top it off, the fries were super crispy and just perfect. WOW is all I can say. Note that while the prices may seem a little higher than what you might expect, Francis Burger is a no tipping establishment, as stated on their menu. For the quality of the food and the great service, it was well worth the price! I'll be back if I'm ever in this area again.f

All come with fries and I love their sour cherry soda. It's never crazy busy and you can order with their waitstaff or with the QR code. Fries are perfectly seasoned and they pay their waitstaff a livable wage so prices reflect the total cost and no need to tip! Maybe that's why all the waitstaff seem so friendly. Have always had a great experience.

We ordered the fried sunnies for the table to start off with and my other friends got the chicken Caesar salad and wings and roasted brussel sprouts. The sunnies were awesome with a flavorful dipping sauce and the fishiness was just right. SCORE! The burger was juicy and had some kind of sweet chutney on it and the bun was perfect and the pizza had lots of meat and cheese on it, it was perfect. They give you a bunch of fries and they are not soggy like a lot of sweet potato fries are. I asked for a side of mustard and it became Heaven....So good!

I am personally not a foodie, my son and my girlfriend are adventurous eaters and took full advantage of the S&S menu. My sons stated goal that night was to eat as many different rypes of seafood as possible, and he was ecstatic. My sons girlfriend was super pleased with the GF options!

The restaurant is quite large and super cute. We were greeted and seated right away. The walls have fun little things written in chalk and it is very bright and cheery inside. We received the menu and waited a bit before our order was taken. We did not need to wait long for our food to arrive. My daughter and I ordered the same thing with slight variations--Two Eggs, Potatoes, and Toast. I chose the Hen Potatoes which were amazing! Tender on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside--not greasy at all. My daughter had the hash browns, which were just as good--not greasy, but perfectly crisp and flavorful. The seven grain toast and jam were great and our scrambled eggs were cooked just how we like. My daughter also ordered a fruit cup, which was filled with a bigger variety of fruit than she expected and she loved it. I ordered a side of bacon and it was delicious. While the food wowed us, our service was just okay. She was polite enough, but did not check on us until we were well into our meal. Thankfully, we didn't need anything. Our check and my payment were dealt with promptly, which we appreciated. We also ordered a caramel roll to go and were very glad we did. Super tasty and not overly sweet. If you are in the area, stop in. You will not regret it. The prices are higher, but it is worth every penny. We will definitely be returning when we are in the area.
