When you have to look hard to find an empty table on a Tuesday, you know you are in for a treat. The chef, and I mean chef, is amazing. Soups are superb and Sushi night was a real surprise and delicious. They switch out the beers on tap, and now have growlers to go. Go for breakfast but it... More

A friend of mine suggested we try the Train Wreck for breakfast, he had been there for lunch/dinner and was impressed and on that note he suggested it for breakfast. The building seems small on the outside but once inside there was ample room and did not feel crowded. The breakfast menu was not as large as some places but... More

Went there for an early dinner. The restaurant/tavern was housed in and interesting building with unique charm which right next to the train tracks. I went to the Train Wreck because of the great reviews, which are usually right on. Maybe I was there on a bad night, as I did not have that good of an experience. i ordered... More

If you are in Burlington this place is a must - great atmosphere, food was fantastic and the service was astounding!! Great beer selection as well as wine or cocktails - very neat building right off the tracks. If I had to change one thing it would be table and chairs and also how they are arranged but don't let...

This is a neat, eclectic place next to a railroad track in Burlington. It was suggested to us by our hairdresser so we went. She suggested we have the sweet potato fries. Incredible! Try them, you will like them. All the food was great, lots of beers and wines. Is a pub so may get noisy in the evening. We... More

Heard some good comments, so I thought I would try the place! The bread for the Grinder Sandwich was stale and the pile of homemade French Fries were limp and soggy. One good thing, was the beer was nice and cold!

We were in Burlington around midday to buy some things for business and were looking for lunch. This place was recommended by Tripadvisor and it was well worth it. We both had salads; I had a small apple, pecan and blue cheese which was just the right size and really good. Fresh lettuce and crispy apples. The pecans were lightly... More

Our son and daughter-in-law have been telling us about this little place next to the tracks. It lived up to the good review. We were there about 11:45 on a Sat. morning. The waitress brought us two breakfast menus. We were wanting lunch, she went and checked, no problem, she gave us lunch menus. I had the marinated cod Vietnamese... More

This place is chocked full of character from the photos on the red brick walls to the diverse menu options to the fun cheerful servers. Knowing that they smoke their beef and pork daily on site I tried the beef brisket BBQ sandwich which was excellent. Each time we visited the place has been busy. Great place for couples and... More
