    Alex's Railside has great food, friendly employees, is clean, and has a good atmosphere. They have a great salad bar that is always fresh, clean, and well-stocked. You can't find a salad bar this good anywhere else! They have a very good variety on their menu and also have daily specials. We went for dinner tonight and even though it was busy our waitress was very attentive, kind, and made sure we were well taken care of. You cannot go wrong with anything on their menu! Tonight we tried the new Gouda Mac and cheese bites and they were incredible! The quality is consistent, the food is great and the staff is amazing! Highly recommend Alex's for a great meal.

    Oh my goodness!!! What a treat! Food is amazing… but nothing compared to our server, Ashley. She has been nothing short of amazing! My husband and I came out for lunch and left with full bellies and a smile on our faces. Would we go again??? Absolutely!

    Went in for breakfast. Our omlettes were perfect, contents are diced to small pieces so you don’t get a huge chunk of onion or peppers in a bite which is great, you get more of everything in each bite. Potatoes were crispy on the outside and tender inside. Even the toast is buttered to the edges. Service was great. Great attention to detail.

    The food never disappoints! Favorite breakfast spot for sure. I already loved the place but then they switched to Coca-Cola and added fried pickles! As for atmosphere and service, Craig gets 10 stars. I appreciate that he takes a moment to introduce himself and his hospitality is top notch! The servers are all great, but Larissa is definitely a favorite. She's super nice, fast but does not make you feel rushed, checks on you often and makes sure your beverage is never empty!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Railside, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience! The Perch and the Cod were cooked to perfection, showcasing the kitchen's skill and attention to detail. Each bite was flavorful, and the freshness of the fish was evident. The service was beyond amazing—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel welcomed throughout our meal. The staff truly enhanced our dining experience with their enthusiasm and care. Additionally, the salad and soup bar was a delight! With a variety of fresh ingredients and tasty options, it complemented our main dishes perfectly. Overall, Railside is a gem that has quickly become our family’s favorite restaurant. The waitstaff never missed a beat and are top notch,I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!
