Driving through the dilapidated town, we became trepidatious about what we would find. Turns out the Brickyard is a shining diamond in the middle of a pile of ordinary coal. The interior is very attractive and modern. The small plates menu is - to our DC-area sensibilities - quite inexpensive. We ordered two different bruschetta, two different cheeses, two different salads, and an order of prosciutto (for the man). Everything was delicious, and the servings were much larger than we thought they would be. We were very happy to have picked this place out and it was well worth the detour off the highway.

I was surprised by how much he ate. The rest of the family enjoyed their choices as well. A great little place. I will definitely be back!!!

We came before…read morenoon, and though we could not order from the "mains" portion of the menu (only available at 4p), there were plenty of other options. My wife ordered a mixed drink from the bar and I ordered Weihenstephaner beer; both were delightful. We tried the bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers (best we have had in years) and their fritters. They are a from scratch kitchen, so everything was fresh... and they try to make as much as they can in house, including the breads and sandwich buns. We each ordered soup, my wife got their bisque and I got a du jour squash soup. My wife got a crab cake sandwich and I got a smash burger. Her sandwich was delightful. The bacon onion jam was amazing, and the burgers were perfectly prepared on my smash burger... and the bun was something special. We capped the meal with a crème brûlée... closest I've had to my homemade version I've been making for three decades. They are under new ownership, and they are doing a fabulous job! We have found our new fine dining go to!

The Caesar salad is presented in a unique way and is very much an assemble-yourself set-up, with very little Caesar dressing that is swiped on the plate for more of a visual presentation rather than dressing for the salad. If so visit again, I'll try other things from the menu.

The setting is absolutely beautiful. Their outdoor terrace overlooks a scenic garden area that looks like it might even host weddings--it's that picturesque. The ambiance is peaceful, charming, and ideal for a relaxing weekend meal, whether you've just finished a bike ride or are simply looking for a quiet dining spot in Marietta. The menu had a lot of fresh, well-crafted options, and the cocktail list was fun and inventive. I tried the lavender lemon drop, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well the lavender complemented the classic citrusy flavor--an elegant twist on a traditional drink. For dinner, I went with the jalapeño cheddar burger, which was flavorful, juicy, and made with noticeably fresh ingredients. The fries were crisp and satisfying, while my mom and sister-in-law each opted for different sandwiches paired with house salads. They raved about the house-made vinaigrette, which had a fresh, tangy balance. We also started with the whipped feta dip and gouda mac and cheese--both were delicious. The feta was creamy and flavorful, and the mac had a rich, smoky bite to it. Our Entrees looked so delicious that I forgot to snap a photo beforehand. Service was excellent. Our waitress was knowledgeable about both the food and drink menus, and her suggestions were spot on. In terms of value, I was really impressed. With so many places these days serving tiny portions at high prices, Railroad House Inn stands out as a restaurant that delivers quality, fresh ingredients, and generous portions at a fair price. All in all, this was a five-star experience. Great food, beautiful location, warm service--I'd highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area, especially after enjoying the nearby Northwest Lancaster County River Trail.

The dining room has booths and table seating with tile floors and high pitch ceiling with windows for natural light. The breakfast offerings include eggs, omelets, pancakes, French toast, and oatmeal. The lunch/dinner offerings include sandwiches, burgers, subs, seafood, salads, soups, chili, quesadillas, fried foods, pasta dishes, meatloaf, turkey dinner, chicken dinners, roast beef, pork dishes, and desserts. They offer daily specials too including weekday breakfast & lunch specials I stopped by Ark House on a rainy afternoon. I arrived here and the place wasn't too busy after the lunch rush. I was seated in a booth and given a menu to look at. I requested an ice water and ordered the Shrimp Parm with Spaghetti ($14.99 plus tax) with choice of one side (chose mac & cheese) and garlic toast. The food came out in 12 minutes after I ordered. The portion of food was good which was comprised of 8 breaded jumbo shrimp topped with red sauce & melted cheese with a side of soft cooked spaghetti with a sweet meat sauce. The mac & cheese (orange) was very dense and rich. The thick slices of garlic toast were soft and buttery. After I was done, the check was brought over which was $15.89 with tax and before tip. I paid at the front register. Overall, the food I had was fantastic and I was a bit torn whether to choose a pasta dish or a traditional country homestyle meal. The shrimp parm was very tasty and hot as was the mac & cheese. The service was friendly and adequate. I was glad I stopped here instead of going to a smorgasbord restaurant, which was very packed and pricey. The meal I had at Ark House Diner was pretty reasonable.
