    We always enjoy our dinners at Rail Stop, and last night was no exception. The arancini was delicious. Our party ordered the filet, scallop risotto and corn and scallops. Everyone loved their meals which were prepared beautifully. Our server was friendly and attentive. We will be back.

    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.
