This restaurant is insanely busy so make reservations. We did and we arrived a bit early but they sat us anyway. The turnover is high - it's a fairly large restaurant but for 2 people, the seats turn quickly. A server came by not long after we sat down to take our drink order. Be sure you watch the monitor for your train delivery, if you want to record it. I had a Royal Crown Cola (no relationship to the alcohol) and hubby got the beer "train" (sampling of 4 beers). For dinner, I chose the Chicken Teriyaki and hubby had the Burger. Both meals were good. It's overpriced but likely to keep up the maintenance of the train system. This is so novel and fun, you feel like a kid again, especially if you are facing the window - the trains fly by in front of you all throughout your meal. You can always just come in for a drink and save some $$$ if you just want to check it out. Just be sure to put in a reservation! read more

Yes, it is a touristy place, yes it is a bit overpriced, but the food was good and it was a fun experience for all. It was fun seeing all of trains going around and seeing our food and drinks delivered to us, and other orders go by. We had a later reservation, but decided to wait in line and got in earlier. We felt that it was worth the wait and $$, and if you have kids, then they'll love it for sure! read more

Super cute restaurant! I got the bacon jam burger, which was better than I expected (given that this seemed to be more of a themed restaurant I didn't expect the food to be high quality). The train theme is super cute, and there's a nice view of the city. This being said though, prices are quite high--i don't think I'd pay this much for a burger in NYC. If I were to come here again, I'd probably just get a drink so that I could enjoy the trains. read more

Great place for an interesting meal! The food was amazing and the trains were fun to experience. Would definitely recommend the bacon jam burger and the cider. Only complaint is that the setup and seating were somewhat confusing and nobody really explains how the restaurant works. Overall the food was great and this is an experience you can't get anywhere else! read more

If you're coming here for the food, I'd suggest going elsewhere and would probably be around 3 stars. If you're coming for the trains and experience, closer to 5. My two-year-old son was blown away by the trains and enjoyed sitting there while my husband, dad and I had beers and appetizers. Service was meh but again, I wouldn't come here for the food. I'd recommend making a reservation because the place gets really busy quickly. read more

This is such a unique and fun place! If this doesn't awaken your inner child then you must have killed it in its sleep! There are model trains ALL OVER this place. Its a large restaurant with tons of tracks meandering about. The best part? The trains deliver your drinks! When I was a kid in Chicago there was this small diner that delivered its hot dogs on a train...its nostalgia on steroids. Drink orders came pretty quick too. Food came out in decent time but it wasn't blazing fast. Like most European restaurants the service takes a hands off approach. They really don't bother you unless you wave them down. I personally enjoy this but many Americans think the service might be bad or rude. Just wave them down and they are there and will get what you want ASAP. I ordered pretty simple food but I really enjoyed it. Meat and potatoes, and potato soup. The soup was awesome! Protip - make a reservation. I have been told the wait can be very long. read more

This is a model train restaurant! Drinks are delivered to your table by train! That is so cool. This restaurant is very gimmicky. I wasn't expecting anything to be good, and was expecting to pay for the experience. Considering this, the food was decent and not so overpriced! We found this place purely by accident. We were walking around Wenclazlas square. On the street level there was a display with a model building and trees, I pointed it out and we noticed the track and then a model train came by. My husband said "you don't suppose it's a restaurant?" and I looked up and it had a restaurant name and said served by model trains. It was a really effective ad! We went up the stairs which were nondescript. At the top of the stairs it was obvious it was definitely a train restaurant. Once we were inside, we could see trains going around serving drinks, and see kids running up and down stairs that were bridges over the tracks. This was indeed a cool train restaurant. All drinks were served by trains. They came by every minute or two. There was a steady stream of drinks being ordered even though it was Tuesday at around 4:30pm and the place was less than half full. A server took our order. Very shortly afterward, Aaron's bottle of water arrived and stopped in front of our table. A couple minutes later my frozen lemonade arrived. We wondered who was controlling the trains, and decided they must be automated. Each table had a number. Our section had a table on both sides of the track, so two tables shared a stop. We think the bartender put the drink in the train, then put in the table number to send it to. We were near the bar, so a lot of drinks came past us. The other side of the bridge was mostly tables for 6 each, that had families with younger children. The train cars came onto those tables and stopped at a dead end for them to collect drinks. In a way this was cooler, since the train was actually on their table, but our seat was great because so many trains came past. We also ordered a mushroom pizza to share as an appetizer, but it was big enough that it was our dinner. It was a pretty good pizza. It was only 150~ CKR which was about $7. It wasn't a Chicago pizza, but it had a nice well cooked crust, a good ratio of cheese/sauce/crust, and was covered in mushrooms. Once we finished our pizza, we had been here for the perfect amount of time. We saw and took photos with lots of trains, we had enough time to enjoy ourselves. read more

The food is okay, I had traditional pork shoulder, dumplings and sauerkraut. The thing you go here for is that a TRAIN DELIVERS YOUR BEER. How can you not be excited by the juxtaposition of Thomas the Tank Engine delivering your beer. Disclaimer, only some of the tables have beer delivery service, mostly ones for groups so you'll have to find a friend to enjoy this with. You'll also need a reservation, regardless if it is crowded or not. This is apparently very common in the Czech Republic but not if you're an American. It is located on near the top half of Wenceslas Square, which also means there are also many street hookers and pimps through out the day. To get here take Mustek A or Muzeum but be careful because both are touristy and attract the attention of the metro police who have a reputation of fining tourists for being tourists. Be polite, don't pay, show but do not handover your passport, and ask repeatedly to talk to the US Embassy. read more

A generous three at best. You cannot discount the 'cool' factor of having your drink show up at your table. That is waaay cool; however should you make the mistake of going there for food, be prepared to be disappointed. I found the service to be terrible. It was not that busy but trying to get someone's attention, get your order in, ask for something, was a significant undertaking. Maybe it was all in the timing as I saw others get reasonable service but the place is all about the trains. I had the goulash which was watery, a couple of chunks of what I assume to be pork with the some bread. The bread was great! I ordered a side of fries and they were so so (how can you blow an order of fries!) It was a fun experience. I'm glad I went. I think I would only go back to show someone the 'experience' and just have drinks and go eat at a real restaurant. Love the trains though! read more

Went to this place because of hype, only give 1 star as this place only deserve 1 star, and that star goes to the train system deliver the drinks. The food is average, if you are from the US just go ahead and skip the food, very blend and boring, Applebees' food is better IMO. In Czech you round up the bill for the tip, so if your bill is like 644CZK, usually you just ask to round it up to 650CZK and everyone is happy, but not this one, because the waitress throw a fit and demands more tips, like come on, the train did more work than you, and other places we went to every person were happy that we were asking to round up the bill, if anything I should tip the train not her. read more

This restaurant is all about the show. It's entertaining to have your drinks arrive on the little trains, this is true. I had much better and more reasonably priced food at pubs than I had here. The potatoes were very bland, and the chicken was oily. My daughter did quite enjoy the show and her ice cream. The beer was cold and delicious! read more

If you are in Prague, and you don't go to Restaurance Vytopna, you are doing yourself a disservice. Word to the wise, make a reservation if you want to guarantee yourself a seat. We didn't, and still got in, but just barely. Everyone was spoken ad nauseum about the trains, so I'll forgo that part (they are awesome). The food was one of the highlights of our whole Prague trip. I ordered the spicy goulash, my wife ordered Chicken flautas, and we ordered vegetables and grilled chicken for the kids. The kids meals...the veggies were the freshest I've seen in a restaurant and the chicken was very tender and moist. Very fresh. I took a bite of my wife's chicken flautas, which were also very good. However, the star of the night was the spicy goulash. Very heavy, slightly spicy, and very satisfying. It wasn't overly spicy, and there were a lot of flavors that came through, but it had just enough kick to make me take notice. This restaurant will likely be a fixture for our future Prague trips. The kids liked the food and the trains, I enjoyed the food, beer (and the trains), and my wife enjoyed everything. 5 stars! read more

I have been in this restaurant twice. The point is that people like the concept of this restaurant : drinka are served with little trains on rails directly to your table. And yes, to be honnest, it is fun. But the staff is really not attentive, efficient nor nice. The food is quite expensive regarding the quality, but since the restaurant is on wenceslas square it is quite normal. Cocktails are ok. Some improvements should be done in my opinions on those points to make this place somewhere you want to go back again with pleasure. read more

The little trains network is just amazing... No words to describe it, got 3 beers last night and they all came with a different model. I felt like a little kid in the best lunaparks. Huge variety of foods and all of them are very well cooked and don't make you feel heavy after, so very much enjoyable. A bit strange not to find the over famous Pilsner there, but not a problem at all because Krušovice is definitely still a great beer. Only tiny problem was that the wifi, although working, was not connected to the Internet. Probably a temporary problem, though. read more

This restaurant is awesome! The trains here bring your drinks. It is super fun to watch. Pizza is awesome.yay!

We've made a reservation for 8 people, however shortly after arriving at the restaurant, we were informed there no available tables for us. After waiting for 20 mins, we ended up having 2 tables for 4 people. The hostess were quite rude, even though we had the reservation. The food is really mediocre and I would not recommend ordering the food here. read more

Overrated to be honest. You're basically paying to have your drink come to you in train tracks that tend to malfunction a lot of the time. The "traditional" food is all american. Also I didn't know you paid tip in this country and the waitress called me out on it. Food is mediocre and service was pretty rude. read more

Good fun! Great family place. Kids enjoyed watching model trains deliver drinks. Food was ok. Kids ordered pizza and adults ordered chicken schnitzel. It looked ,(and tasted), more like fried chicken strips w a slice of lemon over mashed potatoes. There is a 25czk cover charge for anyone over 15 years old. It's not a lot of $ but it's something worth mentioning. I would recommend to families with young kids. Not a lot of Czech culture but good fun. read more

On the plus side - great location, right in the center, and your beer is brought to you ON A MODEL TRAIN! I mean, how fun is that? Plus the food can be quite good (I especially like the beef tartar.) But, yeah, the service sucks - they hate being there, they hate you for being there, and they really hate big groups. Plus, the open kitchen plays the radio, partly tuned to a station, at very high volume, which adds to the chaos of the place. Plus, there are often a lot of kids (you know - trains!) who can be noisy. The best is to come here as a group of four or less, in the middle of the afternoon during the week, and have a snack or lunch and a couple of pints of Krušovice on tap (a rarity these days). It's a fun place, and very unique - you just have to be able to handle the noise and the crappy attitudes. read more

I don't know if there are other restaurants like this one but it was my first time to have my beer delivered by a train :D Prices are not very low but also not extremely high. Beer price is low in my opinion (but of course in Prague beer was almost always cheap) especially for a location in a city centre. I didn't eat anything but I saw other people orders and they were not small. But of course the most important thing is mentioned trains. In the whole restaurant there are toy trains which deliver you drinks. It was awesome :D read more

It was awesome that the drinks came out on the train that goes through the whole restaurant. The food was really good and I enjoyed the restaurant. The only annoying part was having to pay at the front when we left instead of just at our tables. Great location! Overall, four stars! It was a great experience. read more
