    Excellent service by Adam! He was great with suggestions on menu choices. Food was excellent, our table had salmon, french dip and the Mac n cheese.

    I ordered the prime rib and was impressed. I usually don't eat prime rib, but the meat was tender and done to my medium well satisfaction. The pretzel rolls were tasty, but you do need to order these as an appetizer. The caesar salad was awesome and the augratin potatoes were very good! Topped it off with a glass of mango Moscato. Delicious!

    We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Service was very good. My food was delicious (Medallions) but others were disappointed (prime rib). Was very noisy.

    Railcar has an excellent variety of well prepared dishes. In addition to their excellent standard menu they also offer nightly specials. Reasonable prices and excellent service, make for a great experience.

    Arrived for Sunday brunch 15 minutes before the end of time and was told they ran out of brunch food. After this point the server ignored us after getting us drinks and food. Never refilled our drinks once and disappeared from the floor. There were only a few other people in the restaurant but you could tell he checked out completely. Finding good service post covid times still proves impossible at least in Omaha.

    Usually Modern Railcar checks all the boxes. Last night, the restaurant was totally off in every way. Service was friendly but poor. Cocktails were awful...glass brimming with ice and poor quality of what an old fashioned should be. Ribs dry. Hardly any fries with sandwiches. No appropriate silverware. Brussel sprouts not the best. It was a sorry experience.
