    The drinks were good but the service was not great and it took a very long time for the food to come out and we only got updates about that after asking.

    Our server, Nancy, was wonderful - probably loves life as well as enjoys her job! We all enjoyed our entrees. The brewed ice tea was ok but was rather tasteless. Orange Cashew Chicken was good. Mushroom flatbread was good. Spinach salad, good and fresh. Would like to see more vegetarian options on the menu (like for handhelds and flatbreads). Happy to see the changes to the dining room at Railside. It's obvious someone is trying to make this place a more desirable dining option. We have observed the changes over the last 8 years. Glad we tried the new menu. Will return to try some of the other choices!

    So disappointed that the brunch was a la carte instead of a normal brunch with multiple items as was indicated online. We felt deceived and wanted to leave. We ended up ordering a not so great burger. We drove several miles and were looking forward to your enticing online brunch menu good thru the 31st. The waitress even wanted us to leave more than a 20% tip since the tips are shared amongst the workers. Very poor experience. Will not be returning. Be honest online, please.

    Love the new menu! It’s a lot busier than it used to be, but that is good for the establishment. Great drinks, appetizers, and meals. Brody was the most terrific server.  We enjoyed it two nights in a row and saw many others that were also there two nights in a row!! 👏🏻

    food was excellent, service ( Kammy, I think was our server) was excellent, she was very attentive to our needs. There was a question with our gift card not showing up in their system but after explaining the circumstances of how I got it from the restaurant manager last year, they accepted it. my only beef is that I don't appreciate the "20% service charge that is added to your bill. I assume that to be an automatic tip, but I don't like not having the option
