If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. The RailYard is hands down one of the best restaurants I've ever been to, and it's right here in Bluefield. From the food to the drinks to the service, every single detail is outstanding. On my first visit, I tried the fried green tomatoes, the famous chicken & waffle nachos, and the Bleu Monday burger with sweet potato fries each dish was so good that I found myself planning my return before I even left. Sure enough, the next day I was back and had the ridiculously delicious smoked Gouda shrimp mac, maple bacon Brussels sprouts, fire-roasted tomato soup with grilled cheese, and the chimmied fries. Absolutely phenomenal. The fried green tomatoes have officially become my standard nobody else compares now. The Samurai Jack salad so fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable. The drinks deserve their own spotlight. The Breakfast Club with a Sidecar is a must try, and the Basilto All Flavors series (strawberry, blackberry, blueberry) is out of this world, blueberry was my personal favorite. Creative, refreshing, and perfectly crafted. The RailYard is the kind of place that makes you excited to come back again and again. The vibe is cool, the staff/manager Brad is friendly and attentive, and the food is truly next level. Whether you're a student at Bluefield State or just passing through town, this place is an absolute must. The RailYard sets the bar high for food, drinks, and atmosphere in West Virginia. Worth every single visit and then some. read more

Great local place, don't read a book by its cover, inside is much nicer than you would think based on the outside. Set in an old bank building, features a full bar with ~30 beers on tap including many local selections and IPAs as well as half a dozen wine choices. That said,The Railyard is more of a restaurant than a bar. The food and service from the staff are definitely the star of the show. Davey (ask him about his previous career as a guitarist for a metal band) and his team did a great job taking care of us. Menu offers a wide selection of burgers, wraps, and salads (including vegan selections). Also try the Devil Arse dip with chips and or crostini (toasted bread). Loved it , great place for lunch. read more

I'll be honest, we had our reservations when we drove off the highway to have dinner while traveling through West Virginia. The town has lost wealth and population since its boom from the 1920s-1960s (read the Wikipedia entry - fascinating!) and its downtown is pretty run down. However, The RailYard is 100% worth the slight detour. The beer selection is extensive, the staff genuine and warm, and the food - fantastic! The menu is creative and executed flawlessly (my salmon was cooked perfectly). It's the kind of place I would expect to find in a city's trendy neighborhood. Between the interesting menu with a great selection of appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, and sandwiches, and the great food, we will regularly make this detour on our way through West Virginia. read more

Food was delicious!!! The chicken stuffed pepper soup was yummy. Lots of choices on the menu. Our waitress was awesome. We ate outside because we had our dog. They brought him water right away too. Would highly recommend. read more

Katie B was a great waitress! Delicious food all around!! The martinis came with a side car!! Heck yea! Great place

The appetizers quick to table I suggest the fried green tomatoes topped with pimento cheese!! Burgers are delicious with many ways to create a burger. Service. Fast wait staff are so friendly. Low light small place so the noise is somewhat loud. But to be expected when crowded. Not a big deal read more

The railyard is amazing and a must visit. The location is great in downtown bluefield and even though the place is a tad small, they use every inch well. The service was amazing as well, from our host, to the waitress, and the gentleman that brought out our food. 10/10. I got the widowmaker with gouda, some kind of rib, and arugula on some toasted pieces of white bread and it was delicious. Only thing bad about it was it wouldn't stay together, but i can definitely work with that. I got the 5$ milkshake with sprinkles for dessert and it was amazing. Didn't hurt the stomach and was amazing top to bottom. Will definitely be back. read more

We stopped in here for supper and enjoyed it immensely. It's a busy place. A customer waiting in line ahead of us said the hamburgers are "the best". We both hit the French Onion soup. I had a hamburger and he got a Philly Steak sandwich - and a peach milkshake to go. It was all delicious. I failed to take a photo until the sandwiches were almost gone. The lighting is on the dark side but I'll post the photo anyhow. My only complaint is how loud the music is. It's hard to have a conversation. read more

Love the rail yard. It's an awesome place to have a meal, or grab some apps and a drink or two with friends. Our server, Michaela, was awesome. Bubbly, up beat, on point and there any time we needed assistance, very helpful with the menu. Couldn't ask for a better service experience. Thank you, Michaela. read more

We had a decent sized group and stopped in for some lunch! The food was delicious. I had the cowboy burger and fries and it was absolutely delicious! Several of my friends had appetizers for their lunch and I don't think anyone was disappointed! Chicken and waffles Was a hit and we shared bites of everyone's food. I imagine they can get fairly busy but at the time we were there it was bad and service wasn't terrible but could have been a little faster with the amount of patrons there at the time !! Over all a good little place to eat of your in the area. read more

Hopping little place! So the good, the bad .....First sat down at a table and waited for about 10 minutes and moved to the bar. No one ever came to wait on us. Bartender was busy and took quite a while to take our order. Food also took a while. The good. We got wings and they were really good! Definitely would try again or at least get take out. read more

We were in town for the HopeWords conference and were excited to check this place out! The service was excellent! Friendly, quick and helpful! Loved the atmosphere!

Terrible service; after an hour still no food in site - asked the waitress for our drinks bill and she was beyond rude. Much better restaurants In Peterborough; don't waste your time or money on this one read more

The service was very slow. We ordered our drinks and my wife and her sister got their sodas immediately. I ordered a beer and a shot and it took at least 20 minutes to get them. We all ordered burgers and it took around 40 minutes to get our food. The burgers were delicious but my wife's sweet potato fries were lukewarm. It was very busy so it seems to me that they needed more staffing. We wanted to get some shakes but could tell it was going to take awhile and passed. The bartender was serving drinks and making shakes. Again, seems like a staffing problem. read more

Recommended by someone local, we dined here on a busy Saturday evening. The atmosphere was energetic and youthful and family friendly for a full-service bar. We enjoyed the local brews on tap and the RailYard burger was cooked to perfection. I only wish I would have had room for a shake! read more

We love eating here. But "maple flavored" syrup is not the same as maple syrup. When customers ask if it's pure maple syrup, tell them "no" from now on. The RailYard burger is amazing by the way. House chips and fries are really good as well. Full bar is great. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming. read more

I love the RailYard! Every time my sister and I come to town we come here to see our dad.

Emma the GM also does an amazing job with this place and love seeing her when we come! Can't wait to come back. read more

We just left The RailYard and we're so glad we had the chance to enjoy a meal here. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service was awesome. This is worth a trip to Bluefield for a fantastic meal and milkshake.

Cool little find in Bluefield tucked away in a historic building with a speakeasy vibe. We went based on Yelp reviews and you guys didn't steer us wrong! They have a parking lot next door, and outdoor seating as well. I started with a very nice and strong Manhattan which came with three cherries without me even asking! The Colonel got a local porter that he enjoyed. Our server was very sweet and attentive without being intrusive. I ordered the Mexicali Blues, for the unique combo of fried chicken bits, blue cheese crumbles, and blueberry bacon jam. They were good, and even good the next day! The Colonel got the Cowboy burger, of course, because he can never pass up onion rings, bacon, and BBQ sauce, much less pulled pork. Both came with chips which tasted homemade, and which also held up the next day. A couple of folks got up and played, singly, and then together, mostly some Beatles covers. They were good, and it was clear there was a nice musical community there in Bluefield. If we are down that way again we will definitely stop in! read more

Oh this food was fantastic! I ordered the fried green tomato sandwich and loved it. My issues with it were that there were only 2 total (pretty small) tomatoes on the whole sandwich and it really just wasn't enough. The bun was also so saturated in butter or oil it was like dripping off my sandwich. Otherwise really great though. It also took a long time to get served. But the general feel to the place was laid back and seemed fun. Seems like a good idea to get there early as it was packed by the time we left! read more
