How have I never heard of this place before? Great family dining experience and I'll explain why…read more But what separates this place from so many others is the different types of dining experiences you can have. If you want an upscale sports bar vibe, check. A unique seasonally decorated dining room, check. Outdoor seating, check. The menu is great. Something for everyone. While I did not order them the only thing that jumps out as something not priced well is their tacos. $18 for 2 tacos seems a bit high considering Mexican food is typically a lower cost meal. Appetizers small shared plates, salads, burgers/sandwiches, tacos, and entrees. Great spread. The kids menus are incredible. Very artsy and engaging for the kids. Only issue, no pricing for the kids meal. Ordered some appetizers (pretzels, mozzarella sticks, and calamari) I would say the only negative was the calamari. Extremely over dressed with sauce. By the time the food got to us it was extremely soggy. The breading would have been incredibly crispy if not for the sauce. My wife ordered the fig and procutto salad and was blown away. Loved it. I stuck with smaller bits since I was stuffed with appetizers. Ordered the crispy rice spicy tuna, 4 large pieces although could use some more spice/flavor or a dipping sauce. And Ordered the buffalo wings. Wings were HUGE, crispy, and juicy. However a little light on the sauce. Overall this was a great first trip. We definitely will be back. For the food, and the bourbon menu! One "gripe" is that they offer Happy Hour until 6pm even on Fridays. With Happy Hour the kids meals are supposed to be $10 and have food, drink, and ice cream included. However when we got our bill we were charged for the meal ($12 fair price for the amount of food) and the drink separately. Not a huge deal but wish they would stick to the advertised prices.

We asked for ranch, but what came out looked and tasted like a cheesy dip (as pictured- you can literally see chunks of cheese in it). We even compared it side by side with their Caesar dressing which was same texture, just a different color. Isn't ranch supposed to be creamy? The French dip sandwich was another letdown. The roast beef was super dry, barely any pink, and the au jus sauce looked like the last bit scraped from the bottom of the pot. Very light in color when it should be a rich dark brown. One look and I knew it wouldn't taste right. Then came the burger, which was so undercooked that the blood soaked through the bottom bun (as pictured). The waitress never even asked how we wanted it cooked. Overall, I'd come back here for a drink but I'd skip the food next time.

I ordered a piece of grilled salmon to go with it. I just had water but will definitely try a drink next time. Service was very good.

We ordered the **Fish and Chips**, **Braised Beef Short Ribs**, and **Crème Brûlée**. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming overall and lacked the flavor we were expecting. Nothing really stood out as particularly tasty. We were also surprised by the pricing. The prices we were charged appeared to be roughly **20% higher than the prices listed on the restaurant's official online menu at the time. If menu prices have changed, we would expect the online menu to be updated accordingly Overall, the meal did not live up to expectations, particularly given the prices. Hopefully the restaurant will improve the food and keep its online menu pricing consistent with what customers are actually charged.

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.

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.
