Shot of end of rail car.

We heard about this place via a local newspaper article and decide to give it a try. Cool little rail car building. Wasn't too keen on the "faux" wallpaper-like covering on the outside of the building. I was hoping for something a little more authentic. But still cool nonetheless. And your kids may like the "Minions" subtheme they have. Think of it as an upgrade to the Red Caboose located a little further south on Route 51. The Express has a covered pavilion with outdoor tables (including bathrooms!), "new" country music playing over a loudspeaker, and an outdoor TV screen that was (when we were there) showing a video as to how the development of the building came about. There's more picnic table and counter seating next to the restaurant building. The menu is pretty simple and the prices are reasonable. My go to sandwich is the Rail Dog - ¼ lb angus beef hot dog with sweet jalapeno spread, queso, and slices of jalapenos. Do yourself a favor - don't bastardize it with mustard, ketchup or anything else. Eat it as is. It is reaaalllllyyyyy good. We also had the BBQ Bacon Burger; again, it comes with its own sauce - also very good. I've had the Mushroom Burger - think I'll stick with the Rail Dog. Several times, we've ordered a side order of fries with cheese - the one time they forgot the cheese so I had to go back up, but no big deal. The fries were seasoned really well,...but for $2.75 with the cheese, we only wish there were more of them. Try it with the queso cheese. Finally, the milkshakes. We've had the strawberry shake, the cherry milkshake, and a seasonal pumpkin shake. All were fantastic! We needed a bigger straw for the strawberry and cherry shakes because the chunks of fruit kept getting stuck in the straw. Couple of things that we didn't like - hats off to the young lady cashier for wearing a mask when COVID was at its peak; more recently, the cook and current cashier wasn't wearing them. And, during a slow period at our initial visit, someone (whom we assume maybe was the owner), went and left some beautiful dogs out of a nearby building to "do their business" close by. So if you go, watch your step. No trace of the dogs on later visits. Biq question - would we go back? Absolutely! We have and we continue to every time we pass through Elizabeth. Food was good, people were nice, and it's a nice downtown atmosphere.

I stopped on a rainy afternoon but there were still a number of patrons. A couple of the owner's dogs wandered around, a Rottweiler and an Australian Shepherd, but they were well mannered and I'd rather have dogs around than pigeons any day. I had the mushroom bacon and pepper jack burger and fries with cheese on the side. The burger was nicely sized and everything was fresh. The fries were nicely seasoned and the cheese was a white queso (instead of like a nacho cheese) which was refreshing. I left full and felt I got good value for my $10 + tip.

Classic hot dogs with elevated flavors and genuinely good hearted owners!…read more Pittsburgh Street Dogs is tucked in the corner of a parking lot of Springdale... but they represent nationwide flavors with their creative and generously topped hot dogs!! From the moment I walked in, the owners greeted me and immediately walked me through the whole process. The menu is extensive, but they explained it all and were more than happy to take any other questions. You can tell these two love what they do with so much fun hot dog decor on every wall, Springdale High School gear draping the walls, and such creative and honor for their craft of delivering top notch food to their community! I ordered the Kansas City Chief Hot Dog, the Elote Hot Dog, and a side of Notorious RBC fries!! I added on a Turners Tea and a pack of Chocolate Crinkle cookies!! Let me just say... ILLL BE BACKKK again and again!! I got the order to go and they individually packed my ranch and my lime so that I could dress the items when I was ready to eat. The Kansas City Chief was amazing. Sauerkraut and Thousand Island bubbling out of the bun... but just that snap of the hot dog and perfect bun to hold all of the culinary chaos in. The Elote Hot Dog was just like you'd want. The lime juice popping off with the fresh sweet corn and spices!! The Notorios RBC should definitely be notorious such flavor with the ranch, bacon, chili, and cheese but the fresh French fries held up and had crisp crunch throughout. Turners Iced Tea in a carton.... That's just true yinzer code! And the cookiessss... it really was a brookie and mannnn it was decadent and moist... almost as if they baked them just that morning!! The price is soooo reasonable. The vibe is Pittsburgh dive. The food will knock your socks off! Hot dog. Hot dog. Hot diggity dog!!!

Fantastic. 2 will definitely go back! The owner was amazing... He sat and shared with us how he…read morepicked all the local provisions that he uses.
