Railside Café was fantastic. I had the All Aboard Burrito with pastrami, bacon, egg, and Swiss. They were generous with the egg and pastrami, and it came out full, well wrapped, and grilled perfectly. Super hearty and satisfying. My wife ordered the Wake Up croissant with prosciutto, egg, and ham. Flaky, buttery, and done right. I got the Main Line Cold Brew with mocha, and she had the Gold Line with horchata. Both were smooth and delicious. I accidentally squeezed my coffee and spilled it when grabbing it from the waiter. They immediately cleaned it up, offered us another table, and refilled my drink at no charge. Incredible service. Calm but energetic Paris café vibes with French and Spanish guitar music. They offer live music Wed, Sat, and Sun. Outdoor seating available, unisex bathroom

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Marina Avila · Dec 2025

The vibes were amazing — super cozy and very aesthetic. The manager was nice, and the girl at the register was super nice. Overall, it felt like a place I’d bring my kids because the atmosphere was really welcoming. The kids LOVE it here The food was OK, they got my order wrong, and the waiter was rude.

★★★★★ 5.0 Overland by Eric · Sep 2025

A great cozy place super kids friendly. Outside siting is second to none in entire region. Amazing costumer service even. Delicious food. Parking is limited but available at front to the right side of building.

What a beautiful little spot! We came on it by chance on a Saturday morning and there was live jazz played so well, the food was incredible, and the service was lovely. Definitely a great spot to just sit and relax for a bit. They also have chess boards and other fun little things you can pull out and use if you feel inclined to do so. It is small on the inside, but there's lots of seating outside.
