I was asking the people I work with there where are some good places to eat for lunch.I believe The Side Rail came out of nearly everyone's mouths.I arrived at the restaurant for a late lunch probably around 4:30 and the place was not too busy but had its share of patrons. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door with a hello and a smile.I chose to sit at the bar beings I was alone.The decor was very neat with a mix of local and railroad themed decorations.The alcoholic drinks included a large collection of various unique and flavorful drinks and cocktails. I enjoy a good hard cider but the one they had listed on tap had a strawberry flavoring. I mentioned my fondness of ciders but my lack of enjoying strawberry flavored drinks to the waitress/bartender and she immediately offered a sample. I was quite surprised how good it actually was.The menu definitely has a large selection of unique food and combinations especially burgers. I started with an appetizer of garlic cheeses curds. They came out quickly and were fresh,hot, and crispy just how I like them.The garlic flavor with the cheese curds was a great change from the normal cheese curds I'm used to with them even being in cubes.I had to try the burger with Peanut Butter and Jelly, the loaded fries, and Mac and cheese.I was really second guessing that ordering that choice was a good one but boy was I surprised.The burger was cooked perfectly.I will never understand how a burger with cheese,peanut butter,a fruit jam sauce, and even a egg actually not only worked together but was delicious.The loaded fries were crispy,cheesy,and the jalapeños were flavorful but not too hot.The Mac and cheese was also very delicious and very creamy.I will definitely be returning to try some of the other unique sandwiches and cocktails. The only regret I had was forgetting my leftovers in my truck when I got back to my hotel.

The line takes forever to move and each time I've spent more than 20 minutes waiting. Sure that's on me, but I placed an online order and didn't realize it could be cancelled until after I already gave my name at the speaker. You would also think that by waiting as long as you do, that your food would all be fresh. The fries are always cold, the drinks never filled up all the way, and don't bother with the chicken tenders because they aren't good here. I don't know what it is about Wapak fast food restaurants but between this place and a few others, I will just pass on getting food in this town.

My regional production manager,and the local plant manager were kind enough to take me to lunch here. We were seated quickly and greeted by our waitress with a smile and chips and salsa.The chips were very fresh with the salsa having plenty of good flavoring. We of course had to get a bowl of queso cheese to go with it.The queso was good but nothing special.I ordered the lunch fajitas with steak. I am glad we ordered the queso because this is the first place I have been where cheese did not come with fajitas.I was shocked when I tasted the beans, normally I am not a fan but the refried beans they have are very good.The meat and vegetables were cooked well but could of used more seasoning.Was not the best Mexican I have had but would gladly eat there again.
