About the restaurant

The Rail Trail Flatbread Co., celebrated its grand opening on 12/12/23, marking not only a milestone in Milford's downtown revitalization but also a nod to the original Hudson location's success. Built in a meticulously renovated former bank that features a spacious restaurant and bar, outdoor patio, and upstairs events space, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

The Milford location reflects a two-and-a-half-year renovation effort, preserving historical elements like the century-old clock, vault door, and exposed brick walls. The open dining layout encourages interaction, adorned with family photos for a homey feel.

Though famous for flatbreads, Rail Trail boasts diverse offerings, each component is made in-house. Notable flatbreads include "Fig & Walnut" and "Mexican Street Corn," alongside the popular "Primo Pepperoni." Appetizers like "Hot Tots" and "Sesame Cauliflower" showcase Rail Trail's culinary creativity.

We love it here whether it’s with family or friends always a good meal. Love that you can have one pizza and split into two kinds. No one is disappointed and an opportunity to try something else too.

4 of us met for Sunday lunch. We always make reservations because this is a popular restaurant. We were seated immediately and our server stopped by with minutes of us being seated. She was very efficient & friendly. All of us thought the food was delicious. Love this place!

We enjoyed a very pleasant meal with quick service and comfortable atmosphere. The food portions were very large (my Tuscan salmon came with 8 filets!) and delicious. The only negative would be the shrimp scampi, the shrimp came breaded which was odd to us. The sauce from the pasta, although flavorful, made the breading very mushy and unappealing. We will definitely be back.

From our welcoming and warm team of professionals, to our fresh, scratch made menu items, our only goal at Table Twelve is making sure you can’t wait to come back again.

The fall special of cider spiced pork belly is a dish NOT TO BE MISSED!!! one of the best dishes I've had in a long, long time. The balance between the luscious pork belly, the sweetness of the butternut squash and the roasted Brussels sprouts was amazing!!!!
