The Rail Coal Fire Bistro’s humble beginnings were founded on a passion for great food and an appreciation for life’s simple pleasures. Its fundamental belief in the importance of providing value to its customers through the use of fresh and imaginative ingredients quickly allowed the Rail to grow into an unmissable dining destination.
Friends and family alike continue to gather in what has become the South Shore’s most inviting dining room to discover the joys of reimagined casual dining. The Rail takes a fresh approach to breakfast, lunch, and dinner in its 130-guest dining room.
Across reviews, The Rail Coal Fire Bistro comes across as a warm, welcoming spot with a lively atmosphere and generous portions at good value, open late and suitable for breakfast, brunch, or casual dinners. Service is repeatedly praised for being attentive, friendly, and efficient across many staff, with guests feeling well cared for and checked on at the right times, though peak times can bring longer waits and occasional crowding. The menu earns accolades for variety and quality, with many dishes described as delicious and well prepared, including burgers, pizzas, seafood, and brunch staples, while a few items are noted as needing a bit more moisture or sauce or having presentation gaps. The ambience is described as relaxed and friendly, sometimes a touch noisy or bustling, yet still welcoming, and the casino setting adds a lively energy that guests appreciate. Prices are viewed as reasonable for the portion sizes and menu breadth, with several reviewers noting the absence of extra taxes on the bill as a plus.
Nous avons été servi par Olivier au bar 11 novembre 2024 Première fois que je m'assoyais au bar avec une amie pour manger notre déjeuner. Quel bel accueil d'Olivier. Service extraordinaire, nous lui avons demandé de nous faire un drink... & un deuxième mais il devait choisir ce qu'il nous ferait. Les 2 cocktails était très bon. Son sourire, sa présence, sa bonne humeur, les attentions portés à ses clients était fait d'une très belle façon. Un serveur comme lui doit sûrement avoir un atout auprès de ses employeurs. Bravo Olivier! Je viens de te découvrir comme serveur alors je suis maintenant à 2 serveurs de qui je serai servi les prochaine fois.. toi & Jessika que j'ai découvert il n'y a pas trop longtemps... c'est déjà quand même quelques années j'y vais... Merci encore pour votre beau & bon service. Christian Breton
One of the best burgers I've had in a while. My'date' ordered a pizza. Presentation wise, didn't look like much. But taste wise OMG! We are definitely going to be talking about this place to our'peeps'!! Psst... If the wait is long, ask to sit at the bar.
Nice retro bar restaurant whit a great variety of dishes like burgers, pizza, pastas & much more at a good price no taxes. Service & food quality was excellent. They make their own pizza in their oven & they have a couple of tv & a projection to watch sports.
Anytime I'm at the bar, day or night if Jonathan is working it's an amazing experience. He is so attentive to his customers, always coming to check if we need refills or anything more. Always has a smile on even if he's on a double shift. Would definitely recommend.

Came for the 5$ breakfast & I was served by Johnathan at the bar, let me tell you, this guy was amazing, fast, kind, overall nice person! He was busy but he kept coming back refilling my drinks, asking if I need anything. Anyways definitely will come back again. Amazing service!
Super expérience ! Service A1. La gang du Rail est toujours au petit soins. Jonathan...tout simplement le meilleur barman en ville!!! Eddy, est serveur attentionné & professionnel. David, meilleur gérant s'assure que tous vivent une belle expérience. Leanne au bar du Etc est extraordinaire. Bravo à toute l'équipe du Playground ☝️💪
Shout out to our server Angelo who arranged with the bartender to meet our challenge of creating us an off menu cocktail. He exceeded our expectations with his spin on a cosmo. 🍸 Their appetizers are delicious.
