    French toast wasn’t cooked, soggy. Wouldn’t advise ordering the lobster benny, lobster wasn’t fresh.
    Rail Stop Restaurant & BarResponded on May 15, 2025
    Drew, we're disappointed by your comments, as serving fresh, perfectly prepared dishes is how we're known. Our team would have loved the chance to address your concerns directly to assure your satisfaction. We hope you'll allow us another chance to completely win you over.

    Great place to go to prior to any event at the Road Runner Boston as it is directly across the street. Huge parking garage located next to the restaurant at 80-90 Guest Street Parking Garage. Staff was very nice. Food was great. They do have a kids menu.

    The cocktails weren’t great, we switched to beer. They had good beers on tap. The queso is thick cheese that you couldn’t eat with the chips, you needed a knife. It was not a typical creamy queso. Burrata was really good though! The service was slow but very nice.
    Rail Stop Restaurant & BarResponded on May 5, 2025
    We deeply regret that your visit wasn't reflective of a typical experience, Laura, and we wish we had the chance to chat with you directly. Our team will use your comments to see where improvements are needed. Please visit us again soon at the Rail Stop Restaurant & Bar so we can work to earn another star or two.
