What a lovely place! We aren't in Burlington often so haven't had much chance to stop here. Glad we did! Ambiance is on point. Cocktail list is large and has great variety. The seasonal we had was inventive and delicious. That old fashioned was honestly excellent - peep how they froze the cherry in the rock. Cute! Burger - great Cheesesteak - great with some flair (I wanna say maybe some gochugang somewhere in there?) Fries - really good and plentiful Service - if they didn't shine elsewhere (and they do) they'd really shine here. All helpful and witty. If you have business in Burlington - eat here If you don't have business in Burlington but find yourself hungry on that stretch of the interstate - eat here. But not if you have kids. 21 and up! 10/10 will return read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our first time at the Train Wreck Bar. They do not take reservations so we arrived early as we had a party of eight, celebrating the 21st birthday of our grandson. We only had to wait a few minutes - 5 minutes maybe - before they called us in to be seated. Once seated we were served water and then they began taking drink orders. Since we were there for Sunday Brunch we waited a bit for the stragglers to arrive before ordering our meals. Service in general was excellent. Very timely without hovering. I ordered their Double Bloody Mary, a drink they are well known for around these parts. It's a drink and a meal all in one! The Bloody Mary was decent. Not the best I've ever had, but still tasty. Included, on skewers were two small biscuit sliders with egg, ham and cheese, three sausage meatballs, two large bacon wrapped potato chunks, a couple of pickled peppers, a chunk of apple, two blue cheese stuffed olives, a chunk of cheese, ham and salami. It also contained a big celery and carrot stick. It was supposed to have a dill pickle spear but I guess they forgot that or ran out. With it you get your choice of vodkas. I chose Tito's. This was all served in a quart size Mason Jar! Everyone else ordered other items and they all seemed to enjoy not only their drinks but their food as well. Salmon Scramble was really enjoyed by the son in law and stuffed French toast was great according to my wife. Several ordered the Breakfast Burrito in a Bowl and enjoyed it. They have an extensive breakfast menu available for brunch so a second visit will be in order. All in all it was a nice way to celebrate a birthday and eat brunch. Well worth a visit. read more

This was a wonderful surprise! Most helpful, congenial and efficient service. Very fresh tasting ingredients, great flavors. Set in a charming, rustic old building, the menu is surprisingly interesting. From burgers to ahi poke. We had edamome which were a bit messy to eat but had fantastic flavor. We both ordered the appetizer poke for our lunch. A beautiful plate of food, generous portion, and great flavors. I loved the house made "chili crisp" as an accent, as well as the pickled ginger. This was fun and so satisfying to eat. read more

This is the second visit to Train Wreck and it did not improve on the first impression. I opted for the special which was a streak empanada, the filling was flavorful and had a substantial amount of steak but the crust which is my favorite part was so dry and tough I ended up just eating the filling. I was so hoping it would be better than the first time we went. Hubby had fish and chips, he said it was "ok" but we are not big fans of beer battered fish so he wouldn't order it again. The place is cute and the service was adequate. So many places that are fabulous here we won't be giving Train Wreck a third try. read more

Trainwreck is just one of those places that hits the spot when you're not even planning to stop. We pulled in on the way home because I was desperate for a Bloody Caesar, and I swear they make the best one I've ever had. Spicy, tangy, perfect rim, perfect garnish -- it just hit. We lucked out and got a table right by the TV showing the game, which immediately set the vibe. The staff was on it -- like a small army appeared out of nowhere the second we sat down. Napkins, menus, water -- bam. Everyone was so genuinely nice too, even threw me a few compliments on my shirt (which caught me totally off guard but hey, I'll take it). Hubby got the breakfast special -- a breakfast Cubano -- and said it was killer. I went for the Trainwreck waffle and holy hell, whoever decided to put bacon in the batter deserves a medal. Sweet, salty, fruity, buttery chaos in the best way. The owner/manager popped by more than once to check in, super friendly and chatty, just that kind of person who makes you feel like you've been regulars forever. Everything about the stop was just good energy -- delicious food, perfect drinks, spooky-but-cozy atmosphere, friendly people who seem to actually like being there. Total win. read more

We were headed to a nearby establishment but it was too crowded and it had been a minute since we went to Train Wreck. They cleared out the middle row of tables since I was there last. It opened up the top. It was a full house as usual but we lucked out and were seated promptly. The food is good of course. Mama got the chicken BLT and I got the Cod and chips. The star was the French fries. All natural cut and flavorful. Some smaller pieces were crispy and gave it good texture. We don't go often but when we do it's never a disappointment read more

As far as local legends go, the Train Wreck is right up there. I've been coming here for more than ten years, and have never been disappointed. And now that I live in the Valley, I'm there even more often. Lately, I've been going for dinner, since their legendary breakfast rush is no joke. Pro tip: if you're going for brekky, get there right (and I mean RIGHT) when their doors open in the morning. Because within 10 minutes after opening, they are full with a line out the door. Late lunch or dinner are a good bet for not having to wait long, if at all. And their non-breakfast food is just as good (if not better) than their morning offerings. I love their wide variety of sandwiches, burgers, and salads. On my last visit I tried their grilled cheese, which was served with homemade tomato soup and was delish. I'm also a fan of their fish 'n chips, and you can't go wrong with their ginormous, juicy burger. Want to swing out? There's always a tempting-sounding special on the board. (Most recently, I noticed on social media that they had a limited time lobster roll on the menu - I was so sad to miss it!) They also have fast and friendly service, an awesome tap list, and just about any cocktail you could ever want. This is a must-visit if you're anywhere nearby and want a tasty meal. read more

My mom and I picked this place to sit, have a couple drinks, and catch up. We were not expecting such wonderful food in addition to the wide array of alcoholic beverages as well! We didn't get a chance to try the dinner special but they have a rotating dessert menu that has killer options all year around. I can not recommend the pumpkin crème brûlée enough The server we had was so sweet and made sure to check on us frequently while running around to get other tables. She only forgot my extra side of sauce and that was immediately corrected when I mentioned it to her! The music choice was also very nice, it was a lot of early 2000's punk rock music which fits the grungy vibe so well. read more

Yummy food, fun atmosphere. Service is always great. Go early for a good seat, it's a bit loud.

Great time! Party of seven - we were lucky to find a table, this place is very popular. Alaskan cod was very good - perfect portions. Personally, tooooo many fries were on each plate - we all ended up leaving a lot on the plate. Mushroom burger w/ Gouda was "phenomenal." Cocktails are very good. read more

I was so excited to try this place and it definitely did not disappoint. I loved the style of the restaurant and felt like I was in a train. The service was great and all the staff I interacted with were very sweet. Now, the food! The crab cakes were delicious, fresh, and the sauce was delectable. I poured it all over the crab cakes and it gave it such a mouthwatering flavor I cannot describe. With that slice of lemon it was simply a slice of heaven! The fish and chips were fantastic and sad we didn't get the 3 piece. The coating was perfect portioned and nice and crunchy but not overly done. The fries were incredibly crunchy and perfectly salted and truly I left wanting more. On to the red velvet cheesecake! Amazing and I wished I would have gotten 2 pieces. The only thing I wasn't in love with was the drink I ordered and their ranch but that won't stop me from coming back :) read more

I was in the area so I decided to eat lunch at the Train Wreck Bar. I was fortunate that I picked a quiet time there, they were only about half occupancy. So, I sat down, checked the menu, and ordered the Smoke Pork sandwich and an Arnold Palmer drink. I was very impressed with the sandwich! It was overstuffed with delicious smoked pulled pork. The fries were not as crisp as I prefer, but still tasty. I couldn't eat all the fries, there were just too many! The wait staff was kind, attentive, and I didn't have to wait for anything. I had a very good lunch and look forward to my next visit. read more

Janie is not just a server, she is a First Responder! We were literally starving and the food she served was a LifeSaver.

It was delicious food and hit the spot just in time. Thank you Janie. read more

Long have I had the Train Wreck Bar on my list to try and after a pleasant walk at Northern Recreational Area we weren't too far from it to grab some lunch. I had the Korean Pork Tacos which were fantastic and so very flavorful with the Korean style slaw, red onions and Korean Aoli. Steve had a hamburger which looked very impressive and the other folks in our party looked like they had some good looking meals as well. They had a nice selection of beers on tap and Steve and I shared one which was very good! The atmosphere for the bar is cool and it is literally right by some train tracks so you might have a train come through when you are enjoying the dining experience here! read more

Popular local bar with over priced sandwiches for tourists. First. Locals in the front room. Tourists in the converted garage back room. Asked for front and was told we needed reservations or we could wait 15-30 minutes and maybe get a table. Rueben sandwich was good but very skimpy on the pastrami, particularly at $23. It does come with a tepid temperature cup of clam chowder and a very odd container of horse radish sauce which overpowered the flavor of the sandwich with one try. Maybe the horse radish on Reuben is a "local" thing. There was an interesting list of draft beers with "train" related names but I saw no brewing equipment on site. The lager was: ok. Bottom line: ok food. Terrible back room. A bit pricey. Not terrible. read more

I realized upon walking in, I had been to the Train Wreck probably close to 15 years ago. Very cool interior space with a combination of brick walls and hardwood. I had the Elk Burger.

I tried this restaurant when they first opened a few years ago and loved it. I came back today hoping they were still good. I was amazed ed to find they were just as good if not better. My burger was perfection and the best onions I have ever had! They make all of their own sauces, marinades, dressings and rolls! Portions are big. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. And well the atmosphere is great. It is a 21 and over establishment. The drinks are phenomenal as well. I had the orange bill espresso martini, tasted like the Valencia orange mocha Starbucks had back in the 90's. Can't wait to come back. read more

been coming to this restaurant on and off for the last several years. And I have to say that this is probably one of the better restaurants in the Burlington Cedral area. It's a real comfort food type of location. The staff have always been extremely nice whenever I was there with either myself or family members or friends. The food has always been . And it's kind of almost style interior and everything has always been just absolutely inviting. Far too many restaurants and stuff nowadays are dark and and cold and stuff like that and I don't mean through like temperature or lighting I mean in atmosphere. Go into a modern McDonald's or Jack-in-the-Box or certain other restaurants and everything is dark colors and hard edges and everything. It's very cold and very almost business like there's no/ima B/ /gin I/ there's no whimsy and all that stuff stuff. I miss the days when I could go into like say a restaurant and find unique styles of furniture and stuff for specific family members and things. This place has that. They literally have bench seating made out of tree trunks, and stuff. They can be a little uncomfortable, but overall they are by no means bad. Now the only thing that really marks the restaurant down is it exactly what I would call completely ADA friendly. I have a family member who is wheelchair bound. And the restaurant isn't really designed for individuals with wheelchairs. Now that being they do try to accommodate as best they can and every time that I've been there they have been able to do so. However, it would be nice if they had maybe some dedicated tables for disabled . That being said though again, the food has always been absolutely top-notch. The staff are always inviting and welcoming. And the overall atmosphere of the location is very relaxed. Sure every now and again get a train thundering by, but that's part of the charm of the location. It also sits well with the locomotive centric history of the area. Now I will point out the technically this location is not a family restaurant. At least not in the sense that you can bring children. This restaurant is for individuals of drinking age and up. read more

The food was outstanding with house baked bread for my house smoked brisket and hand sliced fries! The service was great, we didn't have to wait long. And the train rumbled by at least four times out the window, much to the delight of my wife! A great experience, we will be back! read more

Train Wreck Bar has hearty breakfast food with HEFTY portions and is not a place for the weak (or those with high cholesterol). It's also home of the breakfast Bloody Mary, which impressively doubles as food and drink. Prices are a bit steep ($18-20 per dish), but can somewhat be justified by the massive portions. (Seriously, you may want to consider splitting the breakfast burrito.) Surprisingly a lot of seating, with bar vibes in the front and diner vibes in the back. Fast, friendly service -- our server was so kind and attentive, and made us feel right at home. Would recommend for a pit stop in Burlington! read more

What a gem of a place! A friend had told me to stop by Train Wreck Bar if I was ever driving by Burlington and after a long kayaking day at Diablo Lake, this restaurant happened to be on our way back home to Seattle. It totally hit the spot! I dined with a group of 3. 2 of us got the Elk burger which was widely raved about. I got the regular burger which I equally loved. We all got the Bloody Mary! Service was awesome and down to earth. I must come for the breakfast Bloody Mary next time! read more
