Railcar Modern American Kitchen

The food and drinks at railcar were really good! There was a big drink menu, the appetizer we had was good, and we all enjoyed the steaks. Our service was great, slightly slow, and the restaurant is loud itself, however we were there on NYE so that is most likely why.

Wouldn't recommend - we had warm beer, long wait times on a back up drink... and their to-go containers are like something from a pizza place lol. Interesting experience but we wont be returning. "To go" container pictured

Sat down and took 10 minutes, to get acknowledged or drinks. When my daughter got her sprite there was a fly in it. When we asked for a new drink, they brought water back. And when they refilled it for the 2nd time, they brought sprite back again. So it was sprite, water, sprite. Daughter and I wanted something light, we both ordered from the kids menu. I dont mind that I didnt get half off, but my daughter should have. Then my daughter overheard the lady running the front desk not only talk about me behind me back, but then the server came over and said for future reference I cant order from the kids menu because his boss "yelled" at him. The food was amazing. But God the service was terrible. If your going to advertise kids meals are half off sun- tues, then honor it. I dont think ill ever come in person again. 😪

Had a 3 course meal for an outstandingly reasonable price. The interior is classy, and everyone helped make sure our time was enjoyable. Loved the look of their cocktail menu, and the food menu full of delightful surprises.

Great food, fantastic flavor! The menu was different and challenging for my basic breakfast husband and food came out slow, so I was afraid this wasn't going to be a great experience. Food presentation was spot on and the flavor.... so good. Husband had the Pileup and I had the croque madame. One of the best breakfasts we have ever had. Thank you!

Arrived to eat brunch and the atmosphere is amazing along with their service! Florence was super nice and took great care of us! Started with coffee, very unique flavor, illy brand. They do notate GF on the menu for dishes that can be prepared GF, but ask your server what the substitution or elimination will be on the dish before ordering. They have gluten-free buns, cross-contaminated fryers, & sadly their hashbrowns have gluten ingredients 😢. That being said, I ordered eggs Florentine which came on a gluten-free bun. Since I couldn't have hashbrowns i did order fries(I can handle some CC) but you can get fruit as a substitute. The flavors of the Florentine was absolutely scrumptious! I would order again! Others ordered chicken waffle & croque madame and they both said food was great. Portions seemed small but was filling. It is an elegant/casual/comfortable place. Its the Small things they did that i Loved! Example, servicing my coffee cup with a saucer & spoon! Love having a place to set my spoon after my stir and not on a table! 5 stars just for that!!! And im challenged to see the menu in dark lit rooms, it was well lite but they had the cutest touch lamps on the tables! Loved them!!! You can't tell by the outside how wonderful this restaurant is, go check it out!!!

I've driven by this restaurant countless times and wondered what it was like. We have family visiting to celebrate a birthday and the holidays and we decided to give the Railcar a try! We were not disappointed. The food was interesting - offered flavors that went above and beyond the usual. The cheese curds were out of this world. Seriously. Our family loves a good cheese curd and will typically order them if offered as an appetizer, so we've tried them at a lot of different places. Fried perfectly. Crunchy, delicious breading and lots of cheese. Delicious sauce included! At the end of the meal they brought out a dessert for the birthday. By the way, if you check out their website they offer a complimentary dessert by way of a coupon if you fill out a form. The dessert was amazing. I'll be suggesting this establishment to visitors from out of town looking for a nice dining experience. No longer will I only be driving by the Railcar from now on. I intend to stop and enjoy their food & service again in the future. Thank you!

Went in last week and had both an excellent meal and great service. The food was all flavorful and well executed. The ambiance in the bar was delightful, and Rachel was personable and provided excellent conversation. Highly recommended!

This place was great! The waitress was so nice and extremely helpful. The whole place was so clean and I loved the decor. The food was so great, I ordered the salmon and it was great. The dessert was also fantastic! I so recommend.

We came here to check out their happy hour. Martinis are poured short, but are made well. I like their wine options plus good 6 ounce pours. We started out with their meat and cheese board. That was really good. Three different kinds of cheese with meats. A yummy fig spread on bread was delicious. They also had a sprinkle of caramelized pecans and olives to make it look fancy! We loved it! I ordered their chicken Thai flatbread pizza that came loaded with toppings and had great flavor. Our bar server was friendly and attentive to be sure we were well taken care of. We will definitely go back .

First time eating here and it was everything I expected. Tucked away in strip mall setting, you won't be expecting a dark cozy atmosphere that the resturant produces as soon as you walk through the doors. Dark wood, chill music and attentive staff make for an environment equivalent to a warm hug. Joshua (our server) was amazing. The Brussels Sprout is a must get appetizer. Paired with a tangy/tart Nebraska Sky cocktail...you're immediately in flavor heaven. The Short Ribs FEEL OFF THE BONE. The BBQ salmon was something wet dreams are made of. I can't compliment this place enough. Not to sound to stalker-like but...I'll be back.

Something to remember: ALWAYS HAVE A RESERVATION!!! At least my experience tonight.

Stopped into Railcar for happy hour at 4:30 Thursday and found ourselves to be the only customers in the building. Granted it was early but their happy hour runs 2:30-6:00 M-F and is definitely worth checking out. Our waitress brought menus and stated that the entire menu has been revamped. Because we had other dinner plans for later we did not try any food although I will go back to do so. So many items sounded appealing. The bar area is very nice with high top tables and seating at the bar, dimly lit with touch lamps on each table. By the time we left at 6:00, it was good to see that the place had definitely began to fill up. Can't wait to go back and try a few of the amazing appetizers.

My husband and I went to Railcar a few weeks ago! We had such an amazing server who had great suggestions! My husband had the French dip and I had a pasta dish. Everything was good! My pasta dish almost had too much sauce to noodles ratio but overall was good.

The food is good, although I found everything to be salty and everything had spice, so be warned if people in your party don't enjoy spicy food. Our service we found was slow, but she was enjoyable. It was quiet enough to easily have conversation though so that was nice! Pricey and mimosas aren't very alcoholic though so not my first choice for brunch.

Where do I even begin... our server was Chelsea. From the moment we walked through the door we felt the warmth and family atmosphere. Since this was our first time, Chelsea explained the entire menu and made fantastic recommendations. My dad and I had the steak and my mom had the halibut. The food was cooked with love. Steak grilled to perfection and the halibut was cooked perfectly. They have such a great signature cocktails. The strawberry lillet is my new favorite drink. This is a perfect family or date night. While the location may be hidden away, this is not a place to be missed. Such a cute gem. If you haven't tried it, ask for Chelsea and prepared to be treated like a family. Thank you thank you!

Railcar has always been a go-to favorite of ours, and they have never let us down. Most recently, we took my husband's parents out to dinner, so I will use that for my review as the most recent experience. Our servers have always been great, and are attentive with refills on water or soda, and can recommend great beers and cocktails too. The ambiance is a little upscale, but not too stuffy. You can definitely wear dark jeans and a nice top and be fine. The prices are not astronomical for the quality and amount of food you get, which is such a nice change. On our most recent visit, we had three starters (some of our faves, and some new to us): -Brussels Sprouts: These were more on the savory side vs. the tangy and sweet side that some Brussels can have, but I love the savory type too, so these were a hit. -Fig Prosciutto Flatbread: This was new to me and SO good! It had some sweetness with the apple slices and fig jam, counterbalanced with the savoriness of the goat cheese and arugula. I love pairing sweet and savory, but maybe that's just me. This is a good sized appetizer too, so order it to share. -Helen's Caesar Salad: A perfect caesar with the exact right amount of dressing and cheese. I've had Caesers all over town and this is in the top. We had a few Entrees, and they're all fantastic and filling as well: -Bistro Medallions: This is one of my favorite entrees to order because the beef is so tender and the bordelaise sauce is super rich and creamy. The potatoes underneath are seasoned well too, making each bite excellent as you make it through your meal. -Seattle Barbecued Salmon: I love the seafood options at Railcar, and they've never steered me wrong. This was a new dish for me, and I loved the sear on the salmon, the light soy and molasses glaze that came with it, and the accompanying asparagus and potatoes underneath. It all worked so well together. -Asiago Crusted Chicken Schnitzel: My husband chose this, and it was a new one for him. It was a thinner piece of chicken, with a delicious mushroom cream sauce, and a green bean gremolata. Another dish that went extremely well with the paired potatoes (mashed, in this case). We were getting pretty full, but did take a few desserts to-go, so we could have them a little later at home: -Cronut Sundae: These actually came as little slices of cronut covered in granulated sugar, with both caramel and chocolate sauce for dipping. They were extremely tasty, and very easily shareable since they were already cut into slices. -Carrot Cake: This is my husband's favorite dessert, and it came as a little circular cake with cream cheese frosting and a maple-like drizzle on top. I think he prefers the more nutty style of carrot cake, but I liked this more smooth version. -Apple Pie: One word - YUM! This was almost like an apple fritter style, with ice cream that you put over it. And the cold ice cream with the hot apple pie made a magical mix in your mouth. I think the desserts may have been even better if we had eaten them in the restaurant and not at home out of takeout containers, but c'est la vie. We will be back many times and try things in different ways, so I don't regret trying them in that fashion. Railcar is a great option for a business lunch, date night, family dinner, or pretty much any occasion. You will always get quality food, a nice atmosphere, and great service - so you can't go wrong!

Railcar is a good neighborhood restaurant with one lil negative: limited parking at times due to its popularity. A friend and I decided to check it out after a few years had passed for me. It was his first time dining there. Although years had passed, I recalled the personable hosts, waitstaff and menu. Seating consists of tables and booths. The very capable AnnMarie was our server this night. We began with pre-dinner drinks. I had the Crispy Apple sangria, which was good. He ordered the steak and frites entree(with shrimp/crab soup) while I ordered the Railcar mac. He said the steak temp was cooked to order and his meal was delicious. The mac has crispy Korean chicken, jalapeno sausage and pork belly. I prefer less cheese/sauce and chicken but more sausage. But I enjoyed it; it is filling. Recommended.

A very cute brunch spot offering bottomless mimosas. The service was very good as well as the food. Though unlimited, the mimosas were mostly juice which was a little disappointing :'(

I came here with my family on a Friday night and we stayed for around 2.5 hours. The waitress was very friendly and attended our needs very well but did not ever rush us. The steak was a perfect medium rare and the bread was not as warm as I would have liked. The butter was amazing though.

Railcar is always a solid choice! I came here for lunch with a small group and enjoyed the soup and salad with the bisque as my choice of soup and it was very good. There was not much meat in the bisque and the shrimp were itty bitty but it still had a pretty good flavor. I wish it was a little less sweet though. The house salad was very nice and fresh! Had a good amount of chicken as well. My boyfriend got the cubano with fries and it was very good! Wish it had a little more sauce but otherwise it was great and the fries were perfect! Service here is always solid and their menu makes it easy for anyone to find something they'd like!

Has been a few years since I was at Railcar. No particular reason other than so many choices in West Omaha. Went with my wife and two friends, was looking forward to the rekindled experience. Was amazed that the dirty martini was $8 dollars on Happy Hour. The good was it tasted great, the bad was it was a small glass and not even filled half way. You know something was wrong when the bartender said he had to double check with his manager that the pour was correct! That means he knows it looked wrong and set the tone wrong! He said then that happy hour prices have happy hour pours! OMG!! Then why is it happy hour, just have the regular menu with a price for a small and normal! On the other hand, the waiter was very nice and the pizza and crab were good. Friend had the prime rib sandwich which I would get next time.The atmosphere was good as well. FYI..my next HH drink was wine because it had a set pour size!

We went in for dinner and didn't realize that they had a happy hour going on for their apps. The Brussels sprouts were my favorite to start. They were topped with bacon, cheese, and were perfectly seasoned. The meatballs came in a really good sauce and were accompanied by with a side of toasted bread. My favorite of the night was the pizza. It was drizzled with a sweet chili sauce that added a nice kick to it. It was the perfect sharing size and had a nice think crust. Our server was super attentive and had great energy. This was a perfect spot for a late lunch to catch up with friends or night out with the hubs!

Railcar is located in a strip mall building - you'd never know a nice restaurant was hidden inside! Walking in - you immediately feel a warm energy and comfortable atmosphere. The menu is diverse & everything we get is always tasty! The service is hit or miss - sometimes we get a waiter that's fast or slow (which can be frustrating). Nonetheless - the food is worth it so we continue coming back.

I've only been here once, during a casual interview-type situation. Pretty sure I had a burger and fries, but I was more focused on not talking with my mouth full or spilling food on myself than actually enjoying the meal. I haven't been back since--mostly because I just forget it's there. It's not off the beaten path, but it's tucked into a strip mall I don't usually associate with food. That said, I've heard great things and definitely plan to return for a more relaxed visit where I can actually focus on the meal.

Having started a home/cottage bakery (facebook.com/CornerHouseTreats) , my autumn is very busy with baking and especially making chocolate truffles! Railcar is my favorite restaurant in town, so imagine my delight at their email promoting their Thanksgiving pick-up dinner! At a very reasonable price, they hooked us up with turkey and ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, Brussels sprouts (swapped out dessert which had nuts, allergy in the family), and a gravy to tie the whole thing together... yum! We picked it up the day before Thanksgiving as scheduled; it was well packed, the instructions were clear, and it was so easy to do! The ease of the holiday meal allowed me to focus on my baking for the upcoming holiday markets, with plenty of leftovers, making it a welcome, hopefully annual, new tradition!

This little gem looks very deceiving from the outside! The food was amazing, service exceptional and price point surprisingly reasonable considering the quality and service! We would absolutely recommend this place again and again! We asked for recommendations from our server, Ryan K, and they did not disappoint, from the schnitzel to the wagyu medallions to the wine! Thanks for an amazing experience!

Stumbled across this place while looking for a brunch spot and we were NOT disappointed! All the food was great, everyone got something different. The service was amazing, shout out to Anthony! And the hostess was super friendly over the phone and in person. For a party of 7 there was no wait. This spot is large compared to what the outside might make you think. The ambiance is great and decent prices for the amazing quality of food. So glad we went, and will definitely be back!

I love the ambiance of this restaurant, cozy and intimate. Highly recommend the salmon!

Everything was awesome! They helped with my lactose issues! Thank you! The manager was super helpful and the wait staff were great too! The kitchen outside themselves with the food! I took mother visiting from out of state. She is fussy, picky about everything and she was extremely satisfied!

We dined here recently and I left overall disappointed. While we did get seated before our reservation time, we didn't receive much service until our reservation time. We ordered wine, and my white was noticeably less than my husbands red, and when I asked why she said they only do 5oz pours...it still didn't explain why my wine was smaller as white vs red. And for $10 a glass, I would absolutely recommend a bottle vs a glass. While they still have a check-in offer on their Yelp page, they do not honor it, which of course is always a bit of a let down. I ordered a soup and a salad. The French onion was way too cheesy and overly salty. The thai chicken salad it was very basic and didn't include a lot of meat. It was very wonton heavy. I was pretty unsatisfied, and feel like the level or service, on a relatively steady night was not what we were used to and has colored my over all experience here negatively.

Best ambience, service and AMAZING food.. Already LOVED their dinner (the chicken schnitzel is the best I've had outside of Germany), and their new brunch items are phenomenal. Ryan was our server and had the best energy. He had the best recommendations and we hope to have him again!

My favorite place for brunch :) Definitely a vibe! Service is also 10/10, waiters and waitresses are phenomenal!!

It's been a while since I've been to Rail car and they have made a lot of changes to the atmosphere! I didn't like the obstacle in the middle of the restaurant which always made it feel crammed to me. This is gone, and the interior all looks much more classy/boujee in my opinion! Great service as always. This was my first time trying this salad which I've heard people rave about and it is well worth the hype! I did modify it and LOVED the sweet onion vinaigrette as well as whatever sauce was on the steak. Plenty of flavor, yet a light salad that didn't make me feel bad as a work lunch option. The $24 for a steak salad is a bit pricy in my opinion, but I was impressed with every part of my experience at Railcar so I would say it is well worth it!

Found this place on yelp while visiting Omaha for a night. I was a little nervous when we pulled in but once we walked inside it was just like the pictures. The service was awesome- very Midwest friendly and attentive but not overbearing. I had the charcuterie board - it was exactly what I was hoping for (although portions were huge!) and I swear my drink was never below the half point. Glad we stopped in for dinner!

Been here 3 times now, and this place is quickly becoming a favorite. It a great craft kitchen with multiple different menus. It can be a bit confusing but no matter the menu you order from, the food has been nothing short of amazing and the sevice is great! I Definitely recommend the Railcar!

This restaurant used to be one of our go to places. Unfortunately, the last two times we went there, it was not on point. We had the specials the other night and neither were very good. I got the Veal Parm and it was ridiculously tough. I had to use a sharp steak knife to get through it. They were gracious enough to make me another meal at full price. The replacement steak medallions were not medium. They were very rare. Fail. We will think twice before returning.

A hidden gem! It's located in a strip mall and doesn't look like much outside, but inside was bustling and beautiful. My favorite part was the fun menu! We shared three entrees, two appetizers, and ordered two kids meals. The Asiago chicken was a group favorite. It has a lot of great flavors between the pesto and the crusty Asiago chicken strips. The taters are real! And the green beans cooked perfectly. The pappardelle pasta dish was just ok. It's great for pasta lovers. Huge lovely noodles. We added chicken. I just wanted a little more flavor. I added a little pesto. We also had the birria tacos with mole fries. They were good! It comes with two very stuffed tacos. The meat is delicious. It also has a sweet pineapple salsa. The fries were ok. I'm not a big fry person but the kids liked them! Hey yelpers! Check in and get a really nice freebie. An appetizer! We shared the appetizer boar. Yes they gave it to me free! The board was delicious. A few cheeses, a few meats (including pork belly) and plenty for sharing. Olives, spicy almonds, the bread and jam and cheese were fantastic! It was a real treat! We also had cheese curds and they are top notch! My favorite cheese curds locally are at Cheddar's and these are similar. The service was also great. We had a great experience and will be back. I heard brunch is amazing.

We recently discovered Railcar as a favorite place after driving by it for years. Wonderful service, great food, great decor/atmosphere. Don't let the unassuming location fool you. The food is interesting and delicious (with traditional options for those who aren't as interested in "interesting.") The staff is attentive, kind, guest-focused.

Came in for solo brunch on a Saturday. It was well-attended but there's plenty of space and plenty of parking. Since I was alone, I opted to sit at the bar, and I'm glad I did because I got incredibly efficient and friendly service from the bartender, Mariah (hope I'm remembering that correctly), who was working their ass off but didn't let it show. I won't mince words- this barbacoa shakshuka was one of the top ten breakfasts I've ever eaten in my life. Just absolutely perfect. I was also perhaps more tickled than I should have been about the little LEDs embedded in the concrete bar top but it's such a fun touch that I've told that detail to about half a dozen people so far. Just one note to the ownership- consider adding a footrest under the bar for the height-disadvantaged like myself, my feet couldn't reach the braces on my bar chair and I felt very silly as I wobbled.

Brunch was very good, hash-browns has a kick to them so be prepared for that. I had the Florentine and it was delicious! The tomato hollandaise was better than I expected it to be. The waitress was very good, she needed help but she will still good. The inside does not match the outside, it was very nice and modern, and much bigger inside.

Was here for Valentines Day dinner. Naturally, very busy. High energy with lots of great dishes coming out of the kitchen. Our table felt like an aisle table so a little small for our liking. None the less, crab cakes were awesome with a beautiful presentation. Tenderloin medallions were perfectly prepared with a beautiful and simple pinot.

Food service and drink was all wonderful. Our sever was attentive and knew the menu well They have redesigned the inside and seem to have more tables.

Came for brunch and left unsatisfied with food, service, and pricing. Overall are not picky eaters but the food smelled strongly and not in a good way. Our dishes were lukewarm and mediocre at best. They were filling but I'd choose fast over filling not to mention the pricing didn't match the quality. Will try again in future but not top of the list.

The food was amazing. I usually don't get chicken and waffles ever but wanted to try this place out with a girl friend. Unfortunately the service was lacking. I try not to read into service too much but it was hard not to over look the parties next to us get atleast 4 refills to each table of drinks and no service to our drinks, not once. My friend had to wait till I was well past done with my plate and empty for our server to come over to ask if we were ready for our bill, for her to ask for more syrup to finish her meal. Maybe we were too polite and probably should have asked for more service. Closed mouths don't get fed I guess . I'm glad the other tables were served well.

I thought I'd give Railcar a second try, but unfortunately it still did not live up to the hype. I met a friend here at 1pm on a Friday for lunch. When we were sat we were told they are only serving their brunch menu, which is disappointing to us. After we picked out a brunch item, we were told that they are no longer serving brunch and are only serving from their lunch menu. We both ordered flatbreads, and then we were told that the kitchen is out of flatbread. So we took another look at the menu and ordered a different item. Then we were told the kitchen actually does have flatbread, so I ordered my originally requested flatbread... only to be told again that the kitchen actually doesn't have the flatbread I ordered. So safe to say we are off to a rough start. I ended up ordering the pork belly tostada. I love some delicious toppings, but this was essentially just a pile of guacamole and chipotle mayo. The pork belly that was cooked correctly was very good, although sparse, but a majority of the pork belly was way underdone and chewy. Our servers were nice, but I cannot see myself going here again.

Railcar is our go to restaurant. Never been disappointed over the many years of going. Happy hour menu is one of the best in town! Love the dinner options. The schnitzel is one of my favorites to choose from.

Kind of off the beaten path but great food and very friendly service! Would recommend

If you haven't been to Railcar I recommend it especially their Sunday Brunch. Excellent savory and sweet selections. Bottomless drinks too many to list and you can mix and match. I had the Tartine Two ways. They easily seated our table if 7 and had kids menu for my 2yr old Grandson. Service staff wonderful and Morgan makes great recommendations on food and drinks.

I sat @ the bar & the bartender was amazing, friendly & provided great service. I ordered the Railcar Mac & loved the great mix of flavors. The mini wedge salad was so good as well, I had ranch instead of blue cheese & it was delicious. I will definitely be back.

The food was great - for a savory breakfast, I really recommend the pile up. The service was even better. We had two different waiters and they were both so personable but not too overbearing that they interrupted our conversation. Also, highly recommend the bottomless mimosas for brunch of course.

My wife and I dined out for our anniversary for the first time in years. We'd eaten at the Railcar a few times over the years and always liked it. Nice to have a decent restaurant or two in the neighborhood. I'll cut to the chase - Good food but a lousy waitress. She was brassy almost to the point of being rude, and acted like we were lucky to be there. She also called one us "dear" which should be cause for immediate dismissal anywhere except Buffalo Wild Wngs or Cheddars. Oh, and a "glass" of wine is a joke. There couldn't have been much more than an inch of it in either of our glasses. We won't be going there again any time soon. Next time I'll spend my $100+ at Taxi or Jams instead.

We had been to Railcar for a few meals for dinner previously and decided to try out their brunch! I was immediately sold on the lemon blueberry pancakes and they were delicious! The service was pretty good but as a party of 2 we experienced significant delays in receiving our meals when much larger parties who arrived and ordered after us had received theirs ready. We would definitely try it again!

Nice size menu for drinks and food. Everyone at our table really enjoyed their meals. Staff was friendly and helpful.

I've had the ribs before (the last time I came) and they were great. Really recommend them - not too saucy but saucy enough, tender and the sides (fries and a slaw) are a great addition. My wife had the burger with french onion soup and she really liked both. I'll def come back and try new items

Always good food and great atmosphere- a fun local place. Usually little or no wait time

Delicious dinner! The brussel sprouts to start were SO good, they hit the spot! Then I had the Pasta Saltimbocca with chicken and I absolutely loved it! It was a great summer pasta as it's not too heavy. I enjoyed it with a nice cool sangria. Our waitress was great!
