Fred Harvey Restaurant

The breakfast buffet was very good. It had a lot of great options. Everything was fresh and clean. -cheesy potato casserole was my husbands favorite -Good sausage links -eggs Benedict was served on a crispy hash brown, egg cooked perfectly, holindase was decent but would have liked more -Asperagus with holindase were a nice surprise -fresh iced tea -biscuits and gravy were good -baked beans, surprisingly my absolute favorite part.

The chef working that station was nonstop, making fresh pasta dishes consistently and keeping things moving. If it weren’t for him, the dinner experience would feel even more underwhe

Spend the money at one of the numerous, other, local restaurants that is 5 minutes walking distance away in "downtown" Williams. This is a very convenient location to dine if you are staying at the Railway Hotel. Our meals at Fred Harvey Restaurant were part of a train ride and lodging package. For us, it began as a dinner buffet. I chose pork loin to start. Decided it was tasty, and went back for seconds. They ran out and never refilled it. We're not talking about near closing, but at 7 PM! Another patron and I were eyeing for nearly an eternity to see when they would replace the soup that ran out at the beginning of my dinner buffet. I had to personally ask for the soup to be replaced at the buffet before they did it. The BBQ chicken was very dry and chewy. The pasta bar looked pro
