    Railcar never disappoints, everything we’ve ordered has been amazing. We went on a Monday to celebrate my husband’s birthday & loved that it wasn’t as busy as a Friday or Saturday night. Looking forward to making it to a happy hour, hopefully soon! Service was excellent as well. Our favorite restaurant in Omaha!

    This was our first visit to Railcar. It has a very unassuming exterior that could certainly use some improvement. The food consisted of generous portions of comfort food - lots of meats. The fish and chips were very fishy and not worth ordering. That alone may keep us from returning.

    We loved our server, Morgan. The food was fresh and delicious, and I felt comfortable with the gluten-free options. I love the vibe and decor. All the staff was warm and friendly.

    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.
