I'll echo what others have said that it's a bit pricey for what you get, but what isn't nowadays. The menu is extensive and they serve all day breakfast and lunch (eggs benedict only available weekends and holidays). We got their corned beef hash, biscuits and gravy, and patty melt, all which were delicious! It was some of the best corned beef hash I've had in a while but the portion wasn't that big. The sandwich came with a side, I chose salad, which was offered with their housemade greek dressing! The home fries could be better seasoned but overall not bad. They do have wifi but even on a weekday lunch they got pretty busy (no waits but tables almost full). Service was solid as well and the space was clean.

My wife and our friends visited Conley's Pub last weekend and we hadn't been here in some time…read more We and our friends live in Watertown and we enjoyed ourselves immensely but when the check came, we noticed an "administrative fee". When we asked our server, Sarah, about it, she explained that it was was a fee imposed by management. This is separate from taxes and tip. This was completely a scam on the part of the establishment. It is a money grab for literally nothing but a way to pad the restaurant and doesn't go to the server. Sarah (our waitress) was outstanding ! - We were a larger group and she was so attentive and friendly. While the food was good, atmosphere very nice, the administrative fee (basically theft of the consumer) is a dealbreaker. We will NOT be back despite living in Watertown

10/10 -- Our New Favorite Restaurant!…read more We're still pretty new to the area and have been slowly finding our favorite places, and Rail Stop has officially taken the #1 spot for us. We absolutely loved our experience and already know we'll be bringing our friends and family here when they come to visit. We started with the Soprasata pizza, and honestly, the gluten-free crust blew us away. One of the biggest frustrations with eating gluten-free is that there's often a trade-off in quality. You get the accommodation, but the gluten-free bread, bun, or crust is usually just... okay. That was absolutely NOT the case here. The gluten-free pizza crust was so good it hurt your feelings. My absolute favorite gluten-free bread is from Against the Grain, and the crust here tasted incredibly similar to their products. We actually looked them up afterward to see if they make pizza crust--and sure enough, they do. That level of attention to detail was something my partner and I really appreciated. It's one thing for a restaurant to offer a gluten-free alternative because they have to accommodate a dietary restriction. It's another thing entirely to clearly care about the quality of that alternative. Rail Stop doesn't feel like a restaurant that tosses a low-quality gluten-free bun at you and expects you to be grateful. They genuinely care about the food they're putting out, and it shows. The gluten-free fries were another huge highlight. They were perfectly crisp and SO good. Finding gluten-free fries that I can safely eat when dining out is rare, so it was such a welcome surprise. Typically, fries are something I have to skip, so being able to order them and actually enjoy them made me feel surprisingly... normal. That meant a lot to me. We also had the house-roasted turkey sandwich made gluten-free, and it was fantastic. The gluten-free bread held up really well, the bacon was amazing, the basil in the pesto was delicious, and all of the flavors worked so well together. It was also a very generous portion. We tried the buttermilk fried chicken as well (this was made regular, not gluten-free), and it was "solid", my partner says. Everything we had felt thoughtfully prepared. Nothing was greasy, the portions were generous, and the quality of the food exceeded our expectations. They also have a separate fryer, everything is house-made, and they're able to make modifications to accommodate gluten-free needs. That level of care made us feel very comfortable dining here. And then there's the bathroom, which sounds like a strange thing to rave about in a restaurant review, but it was impressively clean and genuinely pleasant. It was... elegant? I know that sounds ridiculous for a bathroom, but it really was. Even the locking mechanism on the door was thoughtfully designed. My partner kept looking at me and saying, "DUDE..." like Crush from Finding Nemo, because he was so impressed with everything. We also want to give a huge thank-you to Neythaniel, who provided exceptional service. He helped guide us through the menu, was perfectly attentive to what we needed, and was somehow also handling the host stand while taking care of us and other tables. We noticed the hard work and the great time management, and we really appreciated your hospitality. Thank you for taking such good care of us! Overall, Rail Stop was a 10/10 and an easy 5 stars for us. If you go, GET THE SOPRASATA PIZZA. It is heavenly. We are so happy that we found such an amazing restaurant this early into living here. It's already our favorite, and we can't wait to come back. We absolutely love Rail Stop and can't wait to bring our friends and family! Thanks again, Jewel & Matt

Moogys has been like the cryptid of our neighborhood-- we rarely saw anyone inside, and it always seemed to be empty or closed. Once inside, however, we were quickly smitten by the charming decor (70s grateful dead sort of aesthetic) and the delicious food! What I've tried so far: - popeye omelette: home fries are SO crispy and delicious. I don't know how else to explain it other than saying they are really fun to eat. Omelette was yummy too. Classic diner breakfast. - blueberry pancakes: large and dusted with powered sugar. -chicken salad sandwich: this turned out to be a double decker with bacon and veggies. I was shocked by the portion size! I love chicken salad so obviously this was a big hit for me. -chili cheese fries: they have lots of chili and lots of cheese. Whats not to like :) Moogy's has online ordering which makes it convenient, and you can eat the food in the restaurant if you wish. They have lots of games to play, last time we went we played bananagrams and darts which was a blast. I see people come with their friends to play their tabletop rpgs and other board games. On top of everything, I saw they were supporting the local community during covid by offering very affordable sandwiches. It made me respect them so much more. Thank you Moogys for a great time, we will be back for more!

The service was great and the staff were friendly. It wasn't very loud, however, we did choose to sit outside because the weather was nice. Parking: street parking hard to come by, but there are garages and parking lots near by (part of the square) that offer free parking! Food: The rustic bread was warm, had a crunchy crust, and was soft and fluffy inside. The butter was softened and easy to spread. The salad had fresh greens, pretty standard salad with some sort of vinegar-based dressing The highlight of the steak frites for me was the frites. The fries are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and salted very well. The steak was pretty good, but didn't stand out to me as much as I thought it would. I'm guessing the secret sauce has mushroom and Worcestershire sauce in it. It wasn't overpowering and complemented the dish well. The apple pie wasn't too sweet and had a nice flaky pie crust.

I'm happy to report--it was real, and we had a great brunch! We made a reservation, were seated without any issues, and the service was attentive throughout our meal. I ordered the steak and eggs with a mixed salad, while my boyfriend got the steak frites and a yogurt parfait with dried fruit and granola. He's usually not a fan of parfaits, but he ended up loving it. The portions were just right--filling without leaving you overly stuffed. My only small critique is that the steak was sliced pretty thin, so it didn't quite feel like the best value for the price, even though it was flavorful and cooked well. And yes, the 25-cent brunch cocktails are actually real! They made the whole experience even more fun. We'd definitely come back for brunch.
