    Awesome server Anna S did a great job. Food was excellent. Kona Ribeye medium rare, cooked perfectly. The wife had the chicken schnitzel which was amazing as well. The Bread Pudding with lemon curd was just pure class. Will be back.

    Recently visited Railcar to celebrate a birthday and everything was well above my expectations… the atmosphere, the service (shout out to Troy for being amazing), and the food. Every single thing we had was delicious. I had the Ribeye and my friend had the artichoke chicken. They also came out with a birthday dessert. The flavor on all the dishes were top notch! Hidden gem in Omaha for sure!!!

    As long as you don't get a steak here, you'll have a great time. The rest of their food is generally delicious and their service is usually great.

    Service was slow and inattentive, and while the food looked great, it just didn’t taste good. Hopefully just an off day, but it didn’t feel worth the price.

    Overall experience was ok. We did have a drink ordered but never delivered and one side came out wrong. Food was good and came out hot. And we were sat by an open door to the soda boxes. Not sure why the door was open the whole time we were there.
