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.
Overall reviews describe The Rail Coal Fire Bistro as a solid choice with delicious, well-seasoned dishes and generous portions, and a front of house known for friendly, attentive service that many guests say makes the visit memorable. The menu offers a wide range from comforting classics to steak, seafood, and a popular Thursday steak and lobster special, with breakfast and casual options also praised for value. The atmosphere is welcoming and lively, though sometimes noisy, and the casino setting is noted by some as contributing to the buzz. While most experiences are positive, a few critics mention moments of slow seating, occasional menu items that miss the mark, and decor that could use an update. Overall, The Rail is frequently recommended for dependable food and service at good prices, with guests often intending to return.
Service was very professional, friendly & warm. The food was very good except the main ingredients are kind of hidden with to much of other toppings. The pasta dishes were also a little short on quantity but were also very tasty. The prices are fair compared to others, however it is rather loud & one must speak up to be heard. However the overall experience was pleasant ☺️
Très bon les déjeuner serveuse Très gentille. Pourquoi y ont enlevé le pain de seigle ça coûte trop cher c'est quoi la raison ? Le restaurant Bénédictin de châteauguay ont du pain de seigle le monde aime ça. Bonne journée.
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.
I recently went to the rail after they renovated & had the new menu, very disappointed as a regular customer who used to eat the mac & cheese bites, don't know if I'll be coming back.
Ambiance très chaleureuse avec une très bonne nourriture de qualité! Tanya notre serveuse a été très serviable & amicale. Je recommande vivement le restaurant. Melika
Very, very disappointed in the change of menu. Not sure how many people prefer eating Teddy Grahams on their waffles over strawberries or banana but I am definitely not one of them. The Rail was my go to for breakfast. Not sure it will still be so anymore :(
Super bon service, Tanya nous a servi notre repas & boissons! Elle est tres sympathique, drole, efficace & rapide ☺️ j'ai ete decu du changement de menu, car il y a moins d'entree, un seul repas de pates, les prix ont augmente egalement.
Ma famille & moi étions des fans de cet endroit mais depuis environ 1 semaine ils ont changer le menu Lundi le 25 juin ... & on est vraiment déçu de ce changement ... a notre avis les portions sont moin généreuse & plusieurs items sont disparu , exemple le spaghetti ne vient plus avec le petit pain à l'ail & on ne peux plus le gratiner , le steak ne vient plus avec légume & sauce aux poivres , les lanières de poulet ne vienne plus avec des frites faut payer extra .. & ça c'est ce que nous avons commander donc il se peut que d'autres changements est été rapporter .... Merci
