Steakhouse
Rails Steakhouse is a modern American steakhouse offering carefully selected USDA Prime and CAB corn-fed beef, dry-aged a minimum of 28 days on-premise & hand-cut daily. We offer modern and contemporary dishes, including sustainable fresh seafood, homemade desserts, and an award-winning wine list recognized by Wine Spectator.

Attention to detail can be seen in this beautiful 20,000 sq. ft., restaurant where sprawling timber meets natural stonewalls, accents of glass showcase fire-and-water features in this luxe lodge. While all levels feature the same menu, the main dining room has a more sophisticated ambiance and Rafters on the second floor has a more casual lodge appeal. Descend to the lower level to find the secret passage that takes you to the wine cave, and Thirty 3, a speakeasy-style bar and lounge. Dine al fresco on our outdoor terraces offering spectacular views of the Pyramid Mountains. Most importantly, we want you to feel at home where our hospitality is second to none.

    We’ve dined here many times and this trip was a big disappointment. We had three apps grilled octapus, shrimp and octopus ceviche,and tuna tar tar. Octopus was a bit chewy but otherwise all good. The entrees were where the issues arose. Recommended short rib was over cooked and very dry also laking gravy. The dry aged cowboy was also over cooked and lacking that dry aged flavor (?) The Beet salad was very small and lacking any wow factor at all. Overall we are very disappointed in this trip to a usually reliable restaurant. :(

    In my opinion, Rails is the preeminent steak house in NJ. The food and libations are top notch, as well are the service staff. At Rails, you will experience a luxurious atmosphere with an energetic vibe. From the Speakeasy all the way up t the Rafters, you will find something special on every level.

    We spent over $200. My husband got the mushroom side and they tasted like garbage. Were so chewy almost like you were chewing on bubble gum. We told the waitress. Didn’t seem to care and never took off the bill. It was clear to see we each took a bite and didn’t eat anymore. Horrible service.

    This was my first time visiting Rails and we really enjoyed our experience. The restaurant is unique with 3 levels of seating. We sat in the speakeasy, this was a fun place. Getting into the speakeasy was fun, you'll have to see for yourself. Our server Lennon was attentive and friendly. We started with the tuna tartar and wagyu meatballs, both were excellent. For dinner we had 2 petite filet mignon, a skirt steak, and the wagyu burger. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The speakeasy bar was nice and overall we really enjoyed our dining experience, the entire staff in the speakeasy were great. Shout out to Ashley. We will be back.

    From the ambiance to the roomy feeling of the high ceilings and architecture giving it a cozy yet less restrictive atmosphere. Now speaking of the appetizers that we enjoyed wagyu meatballs were just extremely tender and delicious to the Mac and cheese with Gouda was just savoring to the point we melted on how delicious it was then moving to the main course; honey bourbon ribeye was beyond our expectations in terms of taste , quality of meat and preparation. There are no words to describe other than going there and trying yourself; the house smoked ribs was another hit and when we say a large portion we mean it , the meat so tender and smoked to perfection; lastly the cocktails just topped it off so perfectly. Please make yourself a reservation and enjoy the so many delicious options that Rails offer. Best regards.

    Rails was easy to find and had plenty of parking. I love the look of the place. The bar area upstairs was very cool. We didn’t make it to the lower level. We arrived early and had a short wait for our table. We gave the hostess our cell number and we received a text a few minutes later. Our server, Antonina, was awesome. She fully explained the menu & specials. Our drinks arrived very quickly followed by appetizers. My kids shared a flatbread margarita pizza. I had the grilled octopus and my wife had the burrata salad. All three were excellent. Both my kids got cheese burgers which they liked. I had the cowboy steak which was cooked perfectly. My wife had the short ribs. My steak was excellent and my wife enjoyed the short ribs. My only complaint was the noise level. Inside the main dining area the sound seemed to be amplified. I read a few reviews that said it was extremely loud and I agree. Overall the place was excellent. Great food and great service.

    This restaurant is my all time favorite. You can take and pick up this restaurant easily placing it in Vail on a ski resort-where I think it belongs. Love the ambience, the speak easy, the bar scene, and the sit down dining. The carrot cake slice is bigger than your head and delicious. I always get the lamb. The Gorgonzola potatoes are salty and would benefit to cut down on the cheese. Still love it. Had a special tonight of polenta fries which had an Asian twist on it. Had many dinners here and held our daughter’s Holy Communion family celebration of 30 people here. Enjoyed celebrating my 50th with my husband and children here today. Menu is always the same, but I guess why change what everyone loves. Packed for a Wednesday night.

    We have frequented Rails before but this time we were blown away with our server Meghan. She has such a pleasant demeanor…very knowledgeable! Meghan even gave me a recommendation on how the salmon should be prepared - medium. She was so right! My husband and I now know that she works in the speak easy….so we will be back (yet again). But now we will ask to be seated in her section! We totally enjoyed our 29th anniversary celebration! Karen & Keith Porter

    We loved our family dinner at Rails. The appetizers were delicious….tuna tartar, beef skewers, Caesar salad….all plentiful and delicious. My husband and I shared the Tomahawk which was perfectly prepared, tender and scrumptious. Our kids and grandkids all had filet mignon and loved them! Every side was tasty and large enough to share: Brussel sprouts; creamed spinach; mashed potatoes; onion rings!! Something for everyone! And desserts- beyond delicious! Great service too!

    Tomahawk steak was ordered medium rare and was extremely rare to the point that we couldn’t cut it. Our waiter was wonderful, and offered to take it back to the kitchen, at which point they overcooked it. But at least it was edible. $140 for that steak was absolutely not worth it. The lobster Mac and cheese and Brussels sprouts were great though.
