    Philly cheesesteak rolls

    Stopped by the barn for drinks and appetizers. It's an interesting looking place with a nice casual vibe. I got a beer and my friend got wine. We split two appetizers, friend pickles and Philly cheesesteak rolls. The fried pickles were a little batter heavy but I enjoyed the sauce they came with. The Philly cheesesteak rolls were on the specials and they were crispy and came with a nice chipotle dipping sauce. I was a little bit between a 3 and a 4 but just felt it was average with average service. I would come back to try burgers or something they are more known for.

    This is a great neighborhood find! It was an old barn, that has been a restaurant for quite some time. It is nothing fancy,very casual but they do have valet parking. It is like eating inside a barn. Everything is wood inside. I don't believe they take reservations. The two of us arrived on a Friday night right before 5:30 and we were seated right away. However, by the time we left at 6:45 the entire bar and every table in the place was full and there was a line out the door. We came to try the ribs and we thought they were really good. However, my husband's was cooked perfectly and mine was a little bit burnt, but I still really enjoyed them. The sangria was excellent and I'm not a huge fan of sangria. We can't wait to go back and try other items on their menu. Everything that each table was getting around us looked delicious. The staff was friendly and checked on us after we received our food. I can't believe we waited so long to try this place.

    Go here for a drink, the ribs or to get the loaded potato skins, and I keep coming back to the filet tips over mashed. Kids liked the mac and cheese. Maybe the steak could use more salt to be raised a star in my honest opinion...the crave ability factor that I seek in food is missing. The bar is always on point. The owner is always there which I think is the secret to success. I'd also love to see a special that becomes my new go to but I feel like this is a a great place for you burger lovers that want to be taken back to another time. In terms of opportunities, I get annoyed bc I'm forced to valet my new car and tip the workers. Id also like to see some more tasty progressive new vegetarian options on the menu!

    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.

    This place hit it out of the park. The menu has a lot of unique niche options. We sat at the high…read moretops in the bar section. To be clear, the high tops are the booths you also see in pictures (we were confused ahead of walking in). It's definitely elevated bar food with a bit of pizzaz!! We ordered WAY too much food but wanted to try a lot of things. We went for a bunch of apps and then shared the bolognese which I also really enjoyed. The cocktails are top tier. An ex Hoboken girlie, I have a very specific standards to cocktails and this places knocks it out the park. The waitress was wildly helpful (suggestions and attentive) and she was funny, brownie points! New staple for us, go check it out

    We have been going to the Rail Yard Tavern for the last 4 years. I only have one complaint. It can…read morebe loud. But it is also a bar so that is a bit understandable. The food never disappoints. 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.
