    Yummy burger & crispy onion rings.
    Veronica N.

    We were staying at the train caboose motel and this restaurant is on the same property. We had dinner here the first evening and breakfast the following morning. It's in a an old train car and it's cozy and has cool touches like old light fixtures and large windows. The service was great both times. The food was better than expected. We were seated at windows both times and everyone enjoyed watching the activity in the nearby Strasburg Railroad trainyard. We saw several locomotives be moved around. We also saw a few Amish go past in their horse and buggies. The highlight for the adults was that they had beer and wine--including their own brewed beer. I enjoyed the Red Caboose Ale and my husband thought the Iron Horse Stoudt was pretty tasty. I tried the Caboose burger and really enjoyed it. The quality of the beef was good, it was done to med-rare as I requested, and the mushrooms were cooked nicely. The fries were also very good. My husband got the shepherd's pie and liked it. They have a menu for 'little engineers' that has many items kids enjoy. Breakfast was equally good and the portions were sizable. Prices were fairly typical for the Lancaster area. Overall, the service, ambiance, and food were worth another visit in our book!

    This restaurant was right down the street from our campground we stayed there was a lot to see and buggy rides watching a train go by we waited for a table made reservations !! I tried the shepherds pie and my wife had the jack cheddar chicken both were very delicious

    Soup-Salad-Sandwich combo

    08/02/25 Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars (Alayna) Ambiance: 3 stars Cleanliness: 4 stars Noise: 1 star BIG tourist trap. And the restaurant is adjacent to the gift shop. So as your dining, the sounds & commotion associated with the gift shop fills your head. Kids crying as they're told no they can't have something, to people yelling across the shop, "hey look at this...!" All in all in was a good experience. Crowded and the restaurant had a 15-20 minute wait (which I think is to make you browse the gift shop, but that's my opinion). I had the Caboose Burger and my side chick had the soup-salad-sandwich combo. The burger was awesome. Compliments to the cook on that one. Desert I had the crumb apple pie (amazing!) and she had vanilla ice cream. The In closing if you like noisy tourist spots but with great food, you'll love Casey Jones.

    Having breakfast in an old rail car while watching the excursion trains from Strasburg railroad go by is pretty neat if you like trains. You also can watch the Amish till their fields depending on the season,although that can be pretty dusty too. The gift shop before the restaurant is loaded with rail fan options and local items. Spend some time to check it out if you need to wait for a table or before you leave. The breakfast itself was delicious. Staff was nice, food was quick and hot. Any time I am visiting PA my choice is going to be scrapple, and found theirs here to be good. The pancakes were just huge and filling.

    Restaurant at the Motel is a great experience.

    Really enjoy our time here. The 20 min wait wasn't too bad while we browsed the gift shop. food was good and service was good. Ambiance was friendly and quite busy.

    Was driving to a Suite and happened to see the billboard advertisement for Casey Jones. When I stopped I took some time to check it out online and saw it was a railcar themed restaurant and was open later than other restaurants, closing around 8pm. Seemed like something new we wanted to try, so after shopping we headed over there. Noticed it was in the railroad area, passing the Mod train museum I bad been trying to go to. Restaurant was a little hard to find as it's inside the Train hotel. But once inside signs to the restaurant made it easy to find. We got there around 6:30pm and I would say it was half filled. Ordering was easy, food cane out in a timely manner. The Reuben sandwich Ibgot was very giod. Hot off the grill and plenty of pastrami. You have a choice of chips or fries. Did take some photos of the side area showing the Caboose motel cars.

    Bbq pulled pork sandwich

    We've seen signs for this place while driving in the area. I got the meatloaf, it was good just too soft for my liking. My wife got the bbq pulled pork sandwich, it was delicious! We also got the corn fritters, they were delicious, must dip them in the syrup. I would give this place 3.5 stars because the service was not good, our waitress took forever to come to us in the beginning, then did not come back when we needed refills, we sat there for 10 minutes thirsty. We most likely will return when in area. The restaurant was in train cars, clean.

    Eating in a train car (one from 1917 and the other 1920), I mean how cool is that?! The ambiance was great. If you sit in the newer car you can see the buggies as they go by. The food is just ok. Not bad but nothing special. We ate both dinner and breakfast in the restaurant, eating in both train cars. It was a nice experience, the staff was very friendly and the food was served quicky. It's convenient if you stay at the caboose motel which we did. I did not like the fact that they were strict about not letting adults eat from children menu, I don't like big portions and felt like a lot of my food was wasted because smaller options weren't available to me.

    Burger

    The food was terrible and expensive. We had 3 entrees and 1 kids meal and it was almost $100. The meatloaf was so bad, burger and pasta were bland. My kid loves Mac and cheese but she did eat theirs. Overall, do not go there for the food

    Pot roast dinner
    Jamie B.

    Cute atmosphere. We were seated quickly on a late Sunday afternoon. There were only 2 other couples in the dining car so not sure why hostess seated us directly next to 1 of the couples. I asked to move seats. Our food was ok. I ordered a cup of chicken corn soup I've heard so much about and quite frankly I've had better soup from a can. I also had the pot roast dinner. Parts of my veggies were cold like they had just been heated up. My husband had the chicken dinner and thought it was ok. For the price of the meals, a dinner roll would have made a nice addition. We didn't opt for any dessert. Definitely a place for large tour groups coming thru the area.

We were traveling through on a trip, and didn't know where to stop for dinner. This place got great reviews and I see why! We are from NC, so we had lots of questions about the food.

For dessert we had Shoo Fly Pie, the waitress was funny as she described it as "boring". It was delicious, but she was right, the flavor was "boring". Overall, you could tell that the food was mostly made from scratch. I would definitely go back if ever in town and would highly recommend this true Amish/Dutch restaurant. Best service and food you'll ever receive!

    I stopped by here last Tuesday morning with my family for our morning coffee. Whenever we go on…read morevacation, we try to visit a new coffee shop every morning, and on this day we ended up heading over to Coffee Co. We chose this spot simply because we passed it several times during our vacation, as it sits right off Route 30. I headed inside while my family stayed in the car. Although I knew the building was fairly large, I was not expecting just how many tables and seats were available. From that standpoint, it felt much more like a sit down restaurant than the coffee shop I was anticipating. That said, they did have a designated area for ordering to go, which is where I headed. After looking over their winter specials, I tried to order something with peppermint for my wife. Unfortunately, they were out of peppermint syrup, which was also what I would have ordered for myself. I ended up getting my wife an iced mocha while I went with a hot coconut latte. My coffee ended up being decent. The coconut syrup was easy to taste, but it did not overpower the coffee itself. My wife's drink looked good with whipped cream and crushed peppermint on top, as they still had that available, but she was unable to drink it due to a stomach bug. The bottom line for me is that I might head back here again in the future. While I do not know that I would go out of my way just for coffee, it seemed like a nice place for a sit down meal.
