Our waitress was amazing and super kind! The food was not bad. The seasonal drinks were nothing to write home about and were a little disappointing. However, the Bourbon Pecan Pie was a slice of heaven! Our waitress was also super sweet in letting me and my friend stay a little later to catch up, though we were both done eating and had already cashed out!

The service and food is really good. They did well. I got the Rail-Avore burger. A bit messy but overall really good. The pickle chips were exceptional. They make their ranch in-house and it tastes like Texas Roadhouse ranch.

We had the “Best Dill Pickle Chips - Ever” appetizer and they were The Best! I had the Southwest Bowl w/grilled chicken and it was delish! Super yummy and a chill vibe.

We had a great experience tonight! Despite it being a busy Friday evening with a group of 20, the wait was only about 20 minutes. The bar staff was incredibly accommodating, even during the last rush of happy hour. Once seated, we were lucky to have Delilah as our server—she didn’t miss a beat. Her service was attentive, efficient, and on point throughout the night. Thank you, Delilah, for your exceptional service and for handling our large group with such professionalism!

Meet the family here for an early dinner. We were able to catch their happy hour specials. Everyone tried something different, and no one was disappointed. The staff was very friendly and it didn't take long to get all our food once we ordered.

It had been a few years since I had been here, so I rolled in within an hour of closing time. The staff was incredibly hospitable, food was amazing (Spicy Crispy Chicken and sweet potato fries), everyone was super friendly and I will definitely be back here. One of new local faves!

We had an amazing time here. Mi Young was an absolute delight and made a huge difference with our experience. There were some hiccups from the kitchen but she was amazing and made it all so worth it. The food when it came out correct was absolutely delicious. The lemon berry mascarpone cake is a winner that I highly recommend, but it's seasonal and may not work.

The Rail (4 stars) I have been to The Rail on a few occasions, and if I were to rate them just for their burgers, I would give them 6 out of 5. The Bonfire, Local Yokel, and 7th Heaven are amazing burgers, and better than almost any burger I have had in Columbus. The sides of onion rings or sweet potato fries (I usually get the chipotle mayo) are also great complements. That said, the service is about average, and this location can use an upgrade. We had a wobbly table and slow service on a 3:30 PM visit to an empty location. I will be back for the burgers, but I would be a bigger fan of this place if management would address some of these kinks.

I came here for the first time with my husband as a walk in for lunch. We couldn't decide if we wanted a burger or chicken sandwich so we decided to get one of each and split. We got the spicy burger and chicken sandwich with one of them having onion rings as a side and the other having fries. The server was nice enough to have the kitchen actually split our meals for us to make it easier for us to share. The food did take a really long time to come out for lunch, but when it came out, it was nice and hot. I wouldn't really call the chicken sandwich very spicy even with the hot honey dipping sauce. It was crunchy though. The spicy burger was OK, I really wasn't a fan of the jalapeño jam because it was too sweet for my liking. The burger needed some more texture to it too , like something crunchy. All in all, it was a good experience and we had a great server. Will try it again if I was in my area.

NOT COMING BACK: We have been here many times before they changed the menu. I used to come in for their delicious veggie burger and now they changed it to a beyond burger. YUCK. I have never been completely dissatisfied with a meal ever. All four of us said no more. One, one glass of white wine was 10.50. HOUSE wine... really? The salmon meal, salmon was good the couscous was tasteless and overwhelmed with herbs. The two cheeseburgers were so salty it was grosse, fries were fabulous. Shrimp tacos, tasteless. Even though they gave us four. Tasteless. Then after 125.00 bill, I tipped the waitress and apparently she wasnt happy with her tip and almost threw me the receipt!! Never again. So sad to see a good place that sucks.

My husband and I went here after going to the zoo and we loved it. I got the bootlegger burger and my husband got the bonfire burger. Both were fantastic. Some of the best burgers we've had! Very quality burgers and we loved our waitress Taylor! She was always checking in and got our food out to us fast! We waited maybe 10 minutes for our food to come out! The ambiance was great and the food was even better. I will be coming back!

Miyoung is wonderful! Personable, knowledgeable, and quick to fix issues. An absolute delight! The food was flavorful, fresh, and hot. We were a larger group without a reservation.

We don't write negative reviews but this has to be the worst place to eat at. I thought a breakfast would be in order so I ordered a biscuit with gravy and one egg over easy. The egg came back with the burnt grease from the grill all over it and the same crap was in the gravy. I asked for a new egg and the next one came out the same way. This place should learn to clean the grill and take pride in their food preparation. We will never go back to that place, there are to many great places in Dublin and this is not one of them.

We always have a great burger when we visit and the service is good as well. There are lots of other menu options but it feels like burgers are where they shine. They have a good draft beer list and lots of other alcoholic and non alcoholic to choose from. We also recieved a free ice cream sundue for a birthday dessert.

Ate there today. Took advantage of the "Smash Burger" Special. $10.... $5 for fries, $9 for Tots or "Truffle Fries". There was no, I mean zero "smash" to it. Zero crispy crunch from the griddle. It was a lifeless, normal looking frozen burger. The Sweet Potato fries were not room temperature, but cool to touch upon delivery. The burgers (we all had one) were warm at best. The regular fries were lifeless and zero salt. They were busy. The waitress was kind and helpful; the food was so poor we will not be back.

Good burgers. The menu is somewhat limited, with no other pasta option other than Mac & Cheese; not ideal. I ordered the Lokel Yokel Burger; a burger with an egg. I waited 25 minutes, which was a little too long considering the place was empty. The burger was good, and my server was friendly. Overall an average experience.

Order was exactly how I placed it. Food was hot and fresh and driver was very courteous. Order was actually delivered a few minutes early, but there was communication letting me know. Highly recommend The Rail!! The hot chicken sandwich and onion rings were fantastic. It's also quite loud in there.

Mi-young was an amazing server and gave excellent customer service to our entire table. We had a large party that just dropped in and Mi-young was fantastic at taking our orders, even with some dietary restrictions. The food was delicious, too, but the customer service was the highlight.

I've visited The Rail a few times over the past few years and each meal has been delicious. This most recent trip I was able to order from their brunch menu for the first time, so I ordered The Morning Glory. It's a burger on French toast with bacon, cheese, and an over easy egg. I enjoyed it a lot! They're big on local, Ohio beef, and the burger patty itself was very good! I paid $5 to upgrade from a home fry side to the tater tots. While they were good, I don't think the upgrade price was worth it for 6 tots. We had a larger group and our server was great - on top of it with drink refills, to go boxes, and everything else we might have needed.

Great selection of beers, outstanding service by Wade, and food quality (and quantity) was awesome. Our first visit and it felt very much at home. We only get to Dublin about once a year. But this place is worth the trip.

While visiting Dublin, OH, we were looking for somewhere to have dinner... So, I went to Yelp for suggestions... SO happy we found The Rail - Dublin! Great atmosphere!!! We love going for Happy Hour and their list of bites was plentiful! Great portions and yummy! Pretzel bites, smash burger, homemade tater tots and pepperoni flat bread! Not to mention the vanilla milkshake and Blue Moon draft! Our waiter was amazing and attentive with a great personality! Looking forward to going back on our next visit to Dublin! Highly recommend visiting this restaurant! You won't be disappointed!

Service was marginal. The food delivery person spilled ketchup on the bar stool next to me and made a half ass attempt to clean it up. The seat and entire stool was smeared with ketchup. Upon further review, all the bar stools were dusty and unclean. He never appeared again nor did he replace the spilled condiment. The burger was the smash burger special that was precooked and gray in color. This was a one and done. We will not be back. Sweet potatoes fries fine. Bottom line, the food safety practices were severely lacking.

Excellent and affordable place for lunch or dinner! Great setup, perfect for casual meals or fancy dinners. This was the best chicken salad in my life! Buffalo chicken salad with no bleu cheese. Perfect amount of dressing. I will be dreaming of this salad tonight. The service was pretty quick and the waiters good at topping off our water, cleaning our plates, etc! Will definitely come back here if I get the chance!

So, stop waiting until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until winter, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink.... there is no better time than right now to be happy.

I finally tried The Rail for their excellent burgers and I did The Bootlegger Burger with Cheddar, The Rail Bourbon BBQ sauce, and tobacco onions with fries and Diet Coke to wash it down that were delicious but next time I will have to do Bacon on the burger. My friends shared the Housemade Tater Tots, Hand-Cut Pretzel Bites, and Best Dill Pickle Chips-Ever and enjoyed every minute of it. The server was excellent in taking great care of the people at my table. I felt comfortable there and will be coming back to The Rail in Dublin for lunch or dinner and can accommodate huge groups too.

I used to love the Rail but am disappointed in all of the menu changes. They no longer have the Mac and cheese bites or the skinny fries which were two amazing menu items previously. The old menu felt a lot more on brand for the space and was different than just being another pub food place in the area which is what it feels like now. The new fries were similar to Wendy's and not the best honestly, no where as good as the old skinny fries. I used to love coming here and it was high on my list of places but I'm not sure when I will be back now since the stuff I like is gone.

I wanted to check this out and I am glad I did but I don't know that I'll be in a huge rush to go back. I went on a Sunday during the brunch hour. They were super busy already at 11:30 but we were able to be seated in the bar area. The menu is ok. The burgers, to me, were super overpriced. I went with the cheeseburger. It was good but not remarkable for the $16 price tag. The brunch menu looked decent. Our server was kind but terribly slow. We didn't get out of there until two hours later and a lot of that time was just waiting on our bill. Definitely not a sustain for me but I can see why others might like it.

The Rail!!! Dublin We went for lunch today! Great atmosphere. It can get loud and very busy after 12. We went at 1115. Appetizers: pickle chips... not salty!!! I've had some that were so salty. These were good. Maybe a little more "fried" and they'd be perfect. On to my favorite the pretzels!!! These are by far the best I've ever had. They were pieces of a larger pretzel, slightly toasted to a crispy perfection. The cheese sauce is what I like best. I got the crispy chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. This chicken is thick! I get cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. It was very good. The fries were actually pretty good too! My spouse got the bootlegger with regular fries. He has had this before and loves it. This place is worth it!!

My first impression of The Rail started when coordinating call-ahead seating for a large party on Fathers Day (I know...but you do what makes your pops happy!) They don't take reservations (always not my favorite thing.) TBH the hostess staff isn't very friendly. They don't seem to care about offering friendly service and just seem a bit over it. It took several calls to be ultimately told that they don't have a wait, but they can't accommodate seating for 7 and just to come in for when something opens up. We all arrive. We put our name in. We were waiting patiently to be seated (for ages) and finally had to ask how long it might be (it wasn't crazy busy.) Her response was "I was waiting for you to tell me if you wanted to sit outside or inside." I guess we were just supposed to figure that one out on our own. Just nah. That was very lacking for me, as far as first impressions go. What made up for it was our awesomely friendly server Andrea who took great care of our table. One of the better servers I've had in a long time and it was really appreciated after the lackluster welcome. She was friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. The space is pretty great on a nice weather day. They had the glass garage doors open so we got a nice breeze. It's a simple, straightforward industrial design space, but it fits with their brand. One cool thing we learned is they have some upcycled dishes (all the coffee cups are different, like thrift store finds!) I thought that was unique and cool. Food was tasty - everyone liked what they got. I especially loved the onion rings and the brunch chicken & waffles. True liege-style Belgian waffles. Most likely not house made but they tasted insanely good so I don't mind one bit. They had a syrup and a side of something like Franks, but I'd love to see them elevate that into a spicy syrup situation, but that's just me. I'd go back and give them another try (or possibly one of their other locations) because there are more brunch items I'd like to try. And I'd absolutely get the onion rings.

The BEST brunch! Highly recommend coming here during brunch service, Saturday and Sunday 10-3. I also really appreciate a restaurant that will bring menu items out split. We decided to split the morning glory burger and fried chicken biscuit sandwich. The home fries are to DIE for. I brought home the extra to warm up next day in the air fryer they were so good.

Been here a few times and it's great if you're craving a burger. They could improve on being consistent though. I had the 7th heaven burger and although it was delicious, I wished the bun would have been toasted or at least warmed up. The onion jam on it was also super cold which changed the temperature of the entire burger. The fried pickles are absolutely delicious though. They were served really hot; i could tell they were fresh out the fryer. They also have a great happy hour that includes some appetizers, an old fashioned burger, and drinks!

Very disappointed tonight. The restaurant was maybe 40: full. We were seated at a table next to the short hall leading to the restrooms. Not only was multiple people walking back and forth past me but I heard the toilet flushing as people were walking out (obviously without washing their hands). We asked to move to another table. Problem solved. Our waitress speed walked past us several times tossing , "everything ok?" Over her shoulder as she was heading out of the dining room. I had to call her back to the table three times to ask for a refill, salt & pepper and help for my salad. Food was ok at best. Hubs ordered a build your own with jalapeno relish, cheese, lettuce and tomato. Cooked medium rare. His burger was juicy and very good. The steak fries were nicely seasoned, hot and crispy I ordered the blue Bessie naked with a little salad. Naked burgers are served on lettuce. I received large pieces of iceberg used to make a lettuce wrap. I expected shredded iceberg. My burger was not juicy. The lettuce was mostly on top of the burger. The toppings were then on top of the lettuce. Im not a fan. So the burger itself was naked but the iceberg was holding horseradish, mushrooms, blue cheese and french fried onions. I was not impressed. The side salad comes with tomato, carrots and cucumber. I asked to hold the carrot and tomato and ended up with a large quantity of iceberg chunks with cucumber. It was very bland. Our waitress brought me some red onion and shredded cheese to make the salad a smidge more exciting. Smidge. As in healthier than fries BUT .... So between the waitress that "checked on us" while speed walking her section to the dry burger with lettuce that "stole my toppings", the rather dull salad and the first table that felt like I was seated in the bathroom - I wasn't impressed and Im not likely to return. Did I mention the price? $16 for each hamburger with one side. Pricey.

Went on a day date to The Rail on a Tuesday afternoon. It was 3p and there weren't very many people in the restaurant at all. The service was good and our waiter was very friendly. We ordered 2 appetizers: cheese curds and pretzels. The curds were very good but the price was high for the amount you received. ($11 for a tiny plate) The pretzels were not good and I would pass on those. Very greasy, not much flavor, tasted like frozen ones. We also ordered 2 different burgers. The Bessie and then a create your own. Both burgers were very good. Melt in your mouth type of burger patty. I was pleasantly surprised about that! The crispy onions were a great added topping. I think the negative to this place is the price. $20-25 for a basic burger is a bit much imo.

Met with friends during happy hour. Place was hopping. Inside was nice and open. Casual and inviting. We started off with some Happy Hour Appetizers Pretzel bites, Pickle Chips, Aioli fries. Some happy hour drinks too! Everything was great! Came out quick and tasted great! Drinks were very good and good size for $6..during happy hour. Hubby got the garlic hot chicken sandwich which he said had nice heat to it and was very flavorful. I ordered the old fashioned burger which reminded me of a Big Mac which was very good as well. Wait staff was Awesome! Kept our drinks full and checked on us frequently. Will be back again. Keep up the great job!

Yelp left me down again. Not a four star worthy restaurant. The exterior is cute and that is pretty much where it ended. No toilet paper in bathroom. Slow service. Slow food coming out. Cool with beard and no hair cover. Homemade tater tots tasted like old grease. Food was sub par. The chicken on salad had a thick layer of paprika blend and even when scraped off the chicken tasted like it. I would never season anything with a thick layer like that and have never seen this approach. Would not recommend. Biscuits and gravy average. Chicken club average. Chicken and waffles average. Also very sticky unclean tables when we're seated. No manager to even address the terrible food. Quite honestly less enjoyable than a fast food restaurant.

One of the best burger spots in town!! I've been to many a burger joint and have been underwhelmed and disappointed. Most places seem to serve under seasoned burgers. I won't name any of the local spots people enjoy going to but I've been to most and I had started to get discouraged. My Southern palette often needs more than what Midwestern cuisine has to offer. Anywho, I came on a Tuesday night. Busy ish but still lots of parking spots. They were a bit understaffed so I waited less than 5 minutes for a table. They had run out of their bourbon :( they make their own but apparently they'd been out of it for a while. I settled for another local option, Watershed, and then mixed it with ginger ale. Light, but delicious! My friend ordered a vodka mule which she loved! I got the burger that came with onion jam, while my friend opted for a grilled chicken sandwich. We both switched the fries out for the brussel sprouts. Presentation-wise, the burger looked pretty simple. Nothing spectacular. It felt a bit overpriced but maybe the beef comes from a local farm or is 100% grass fed? The brussel sprouts were fantastic! They were fried a bit and mixed with balsamic. Delicious!! Service was great! The hostess was super nice and friendly, the waiter was helpful and smiley. Great place overall!

Located just a couple minutes off the Tuttle Road exit and 270, this location is pretty easy to get to from the Northwest side of Columbus. The building is pretty cool and looks like it would be great for small or large groups. I ordered the recent featured item, the CHEAT DAY, which comes with two quarter pound All-Ohio burgers, Ohio bacon, Swiss, cheddar, onion rings, lettuce, tomato and topped with Gouda. The burger was excellent. I loved all the items on the burger and the presentation was incredible. Overall, very good service and good food. If I had any negative feedback, it would be be that the food is a little bit pricey.

It's Restaurant Week time, and we decided it was time to try The Rail! We phoned in a carryout order for lunch. From the Restaurant Week January 2023 menu, it was an appetizer, entree with side, and dessert, and we opted for the pretzel bites (accompanied by cups of cheese sauce and mustard dip), a cheddar jalapeno burger (with buffalo ranch and red onion), and a slice of the Buckeye Pie. The kid went with the Rail Burger off of the Kids Menu (other options included pizza, grilled cheese, chicken fingers, and similar) and a side of skinny fries (selected from sweet potato fries, steak fries, applesauce, and the like). The food was excellent and well packaged for travel. The pretzels had a great taste and texture, while the burgers were juicy and delicious. The kids burger was just as good as the restaurant menu burger, which was great since the kid likes just meat and cheese on his, so the flavor of the burger really comes through. The pie was delightful - the divine combo of chocolate and peanut butter smelled amazing as soon as we opened the container, and it tasted just as good as it smelled! They have a drive up area for pick up. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Used to love it here. Quality has gone down DRASTICALLY in the past year. Last time I went there was a hair in my burger. I got comped for the meal, but the second one they brought out for me was soggy and flavorless, like they rushed it out. Our server was lovely, but the person who greeted us was steely at best.

This place was absolutely poppin for Sunday brunch! If you've driven on Frantz Road in Dublin, there's a very high chance you've passed by The Rail. Its iconic logo and large patio makes it hard to miss. Enter through the front door and you'll feel the lively atmosphere - accentuated by popular songs spanning the past few decades that you've likely heard plus a massive bar. We were immediately seated and greeted by two hosts. It was a warmer day, so indoor seating was perfect. They opened the "garage doors" to allow for fresh air but also ran fans to keep things cool. Combined with indoor string lights, it was definitely a cool vibe. The brunch menu looked great -- and there were definitely folks enjoying chicken & waffles as well as day drinking as if they didn't have to work the following day...but we opted for some appetizers and what they're known for: burgers. Really enjoyed the bbq wings with the truffle fries coming in second. The burgers themselves were well done. Hearty and hit the spot. Solid sized portions without being over the top. The award winning Mojo burger featured a blend of beef and sausage--a flavorful combo. The bootlegger with bbq sauce was tasty as well. The side dishes were well executed. Can't go wrong with their skinny fries. Thinly sliced and fried to crispy goodness. I also enjoyed the mac and cheese with the elbow pasta and bits of bacon. There's also a pretty complete kids menu where you select an entree, side dish, and have the option to add on a dessert. Speaking of, their pies are homemade by a baker from Medina. Was delicious served a la mode. It was very crowded on Sunday around 1pm. The food took slightly longer than expected to arrive but we still enjoyed our meal. Shout out to our server Amy for her warm, welcoming demeanor.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Server was great, very attentive and patient with us as we wanted to sit outside in the shade when it was sunny ;). My burger the rail avore was very good and made perfect. I added the truffle fries upgrade for $5 and it wasn't what I expected. They just added parm chunks and truffle oil.

Met a friend for dinner here the other night. Pleasant enough place, indoor and outdoor seeting - I was glad we were seated indoors when it started raining midway through our meal! We ordered the Pickle Chips and Tater Tots, birth of which were great!! The seasoning on the pickles was perfect, the breading was just the right amount, it was magnificent!! The tater tots had great flavor! They come in an order of six, so this was great for the two of us. We each did the build your own burger. They are big, juicy burgers! The ciabatta bun was delicious. I got the Chipotle aioli, lettuce and pepper jack cheese on mine. It was very good, though the bottom bun got a little soggy from the burger juice. I also had a garden salad for the side. We split the Key Lime Pie for dessert, ala mode. It was the perfect combo of sweet and tart!

My husband and I went for a lunch date and we loved everything. From the food to the service, everything was just great! Can't wait to go back again. Soon as we walked in, we were greeted and seated right away. Our server was fantastic. for appetizer, we ordered the buffalo chicken dip. For entrée we ordered the bonfire burger and substituted fires with sweet potato fires. The burger was just perfect in very way and the fires were fresh and seasoned well. You cannot go wrong with ordering the bonfire burger. Also, we ordered the chicken sandwich, which was really juicy and delicious. We also ordered 2 mocktails, the peach and blueberry drinks. If you like sweet mocktails, then I would recommend both. The peach one is very sweet but the blueberry one was a little sweeter then the peach. Both were great. I highly recommend this place. Great to go on a date or with group of people.

Very surprised. Just wanted to run in for a burger and a drink. Promptly seated with a nice atmosphere. Server Paul was on his game. I normally don't get a bun. This was a perfectly cooked burger Swiss cheese, bacon, mushrooms. On a bed of lettuce. So good, i hardly touched the mayonnaise and mustard. Loved the ranch dressing. Will be back.

There's a reason they are known for their burgers. We just wanted some appetizers on a patio and regretted our choice of restaurant. We are normally huge advocates of the rail and have been going to all their locations for several years but this trip was a bit disappointing. Brussel sprouts were dry and not as good as what we've had in the past. Tater tots were cold Fries were just ok Wings were the definite bright spot! We love their burgers and haven't had their wings but flavor was great!!! Just not up to par for the Rail in quality or service. Could have been an off night. Host staff was great and super friendly. I'm sure we will be back.... But for a Burger, not an appetizer spread.

My second time to The Rail and most likely the last. Three of us went for lunch, ordered a make your own burger with sweet potato fries, the verdict average. Second order pepperoni flatbread, the verdict no flavor, Third order Mac and cheese bowl, the verdict no flavor and very DRY. I had not been here since it opened and wanted to give them another try. Service was good but food not worth the price.

Went to this restaurant during my first visit to Columbus in years. I loved it. The service was quite attentive. The food was excellent and I think everything on the menu is good. Loved the tvs showing college football.

While visiting family, we all enjoyed a meal at The Rail in Dublin. The burgers were juicy and the buns soft and flavorful. We ordered craft your own rail burger and crouching burger which were tasty. The skinny fries were fantastic! The kid's white cheddar mac & cheese with a side of applesauce was kid approved. This was an enjoyable dining experience with our family!

Good burgers although I wish they would have the speciality burger posted more frequently. The menu standards are delicious. The homemade tater tots are huge and amazing! Lots of tvs for the sports and usually loud and crowded. Service is typically fine.

The Rail proudly sources their beef from local farms, and draft beers from Ohio breweries. The weather was wonderful, so we sat outside. They have nice pyramid shaped propane heaters to keep you comfortable. My husband had the Certified Angus Beef Sirloin with Steak Fries and a House Salad. He said it was delicious. I had the Lamb-Burger, a custom blend of beef and lamb, and Skinny Fries. Although the seasonings were tasty, Gyro-seasoned Peppers and Onions, Fresh Mozzarella, Cucumber Dill Sauce, Lettuce, and Tomato, I thought the burger was a bit dry. I was impressed by the vast menu choices, so I will come back and try some other dishes.
