When I was a kid one of the things I wanted most for Christmas was a train set.  It was magical…read morewatching the train going around the Christmas tree.  I would watch in the morning and I would watch it in the dark at night. Now one of the things I look forward to is visiting King's Canyon.  After seeing the sequoia's we have dinner at Red Caboose Cafe.  I get to watch the trains run while our food is looking. There is a huge menu but I can't resist the honey fried chicken. Honey fried chicken had a crunchy batter with sweet honey flavor.  Chicken was tender and juicy.  Red Caboose Cafe is one of my fav places to get this style chicken. Tater tots had a crispy exterior and decious potato flavor. Beef barley soup had a delicious flavor from the beef, barley, carrot, and seasonings.  I have not seen this soup anywhere else. Roll was soft and had a tasty buttery flavor. Hospitality was excellent and everybody was treated like a regular.  I met the owner Teresa Claborn and she was very gracious with her time talking about the trains and nearby National Parks.  I look forward to visiting again to watch the trains run, trying more menu items, and enjoying the fine hospitality.

The four-star rating is for the generous portions, classic menu, and overall cozy vibe.I deduct one star because the food can occasionally be a bit heavy, and service can slow down noticeably during peak periods. In summary: A great, charming spot for a hearty meal and excellent value.

They've perfected their prep and it was probably the best fish and chips I've had, including from coastal restaurants. The house made tartar and cocktail sauces were delish! The fries were perfectly fried with a crispy shell and soft center. Oh and the hush puppies, while small, were so full of flavor! Overall, this seafood was wonderful. Part of my family is not into seafood. They do have chicken strips and a chicken sandwich as options, which was fine. I'm told it wasn't anything too special, just regular chicken strips, but the fries and house ranch, definitely make a difference. The service was welcoming. We arrived 30 minutes before they closed and they make your food once you order it so next time, I'll allow more time. However, we ate and weren't rushed, allowing us to savor the meal. I really enjoyed my first visit here and will definitely be back. For sentimental reasons, I was looking for a good, local, fish and chips place to try. It did not disappoint. Thank you for the positive experience and delicious food!

The (London style) batter (versus breading) was fine though the fish did not have a lot of flavor--to be fair, fish and chips in general is not really flavorful. The clams seemed like they were out of a bag--do not recommend. The scallops were ok, but I thought they tasted too fishy. I grew up in New England, so I tend to have a high standard for seafood. Tartar sauce was just ok, but cocktail sauce was good. Fries also not a lot of flavor. 9 tables inside with sea decor and a few tables outside. Staff person was nice/helpful and price was a good value. Located in the FoodMaxx plaza across from Sierras Vista mall with plenty of parking.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming with the service to match. They serve classic American fare for breakfast and lunch. The portions can be large so be prepared to loosen that belt or take leftovers home. Our recent outing I tried their hamburger steak breakfast. A decent sized patty that I requested be topped with both grilled onions and mushrooms was good. Although the patty itself needed a bit more seasoning, it didn't disappoint. The country potatoes were fluffy on the inside with good texture on the outside, accompanied by onions and bell peppers. Eggs were cooked perfectly to order. If the servers offer salsa, TAKE IT! Very flavorful, fresh and vibrant. Compliments everything I've tried so far. And no, it's not spicy. This place is a gem and my kids love the train decor. If your kids are good, they might turn on the model trains. You won't be disappointed.

Holiday train review - Absolutely spectacular and warm heartening experience for our 3 and 4 year…read moreold girls! I don't know what other low rating patrons are expecting... fireworks? High class service? Jazz band playing in every train car with speakers interconnected? We came expecting nothing and ended up having an incredible experience with beautiful decorations well suited for a sweet, memorable Christmas train experience. Online reservations were simple, easy to obtain, and a lot more affordable compared to the exorbant Polar Express tickets. We're extremely happy that we chose this over Sacramento's Polar Express. It's obvious that their staff spent a lot of time putting work into the trains inner and outter decor - beautiful and creative! Parents and adults FYI - on your way to your reserved train car, there's a small bar after boarding the train. It's very important to load up on your magic drinks before heading to your seat. (Drinks.. not drink! But drink responsibly, of course.) Parking isn't far and although limited, it shouldn't be a problem with reservations handled appropriately. We sang a few Christmas songs with the elves, threw snowballs at the grinch (best part, IMO), met Santa, and had a little fun at Santa's (little) village after the ride. Every sip of their hot cocoa (included with your tickets) was warming and delicious, perfect for cold weather. Couple of cookies came along with it, perfect for our kids to snack on. Overall, this was an incredible experience for our kids! Service was fantastic, ambiance was very jolly and felt like home, staff members are very friendly, and the experience is fantastic for all occasions - family, friends, and dates! The memories are ever lasting and hopefully it becomes a core memory that lasts a lifetime. Highly recommended to experience, at least once, for your little loved ones. We'll be back next year!

We were NEVER SERVED ANY FOOD during our 2-hour Tea Train and could barely get water…read more About 30 minutes after boarding we were given hot water but no tea bags. We eventually found our own. Refills of hot water, cream, and drinking water required chasing down staff. After 45 minutes we began asking where the food was, while people in another section of the car had already ordered and eaten their meals. Staff kept saying the food would come "soon." It never did. At 1 hour 45 minutes the staff disappeared, and the train returned to the station at 2 hours. No food and no explanation. I had to insist on speaking with a manager and got a refund. I still don't understand how this could happen.
