★★★★☆ 4.0 Terry Beckham · Nov 2025

This is a really cute place. The staff are friendly. The place is clean. The service was quick. The burgers were your normal dinner burger- a good burger. The fries were delicious. Tater tots also good, though a little over cooked. We would recommend. The prices are amazing.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Derek Corzine · Sep 2025

Arrived and was immediately greeted with a friendly smile and amazing customer service. The diner atmosphere inside this train car was a really neat experience. FRIED PICKLES: Perfectly fried and seasoned with a slight bit of spiciness. Very good! CHICKEN SANDWICH: Good flavor and cooked well RUEBEN: overall flavor was good although it was dry with just a small sliver of thousand Island dressing, and unfortunately didn't have much meat, maybe 3 or 4 very thin slices. For $15, this was definitely overpriced and made me wish I had gotten a burger instead. Tater tots were standard

Highly recommended. Walking into this place feels like walking back in time into an old traditional diner with neon lights all around. There are a few tables and booths in this old train car as well as a countertop bar with barstool seating. The staff were very attentive, friendly and service was quick. I had the Reuben with french fries, it was delicious. I ordered my food to go and inside my to go bag on top of my food tray was a piece of paper with encouraging scripture printed on it. I also noticed not just for myself, but for every customer that was there, as they were leaving the diner one of the staff would rush from behind the counter to grab the door and open for them as they left thanking them for their support and telling them to have a blessed day. I was very impressed and will

That was super special. The young crew was sooooo nice and the flair inside was just awesome. One of the best veggie burgers we've had so far in Texas (of which we've hat tons). Stop by here or miss out big
