They will put flavors in your soft drink or even make you a phosphate! (Think a vanilla Coke and a cherry syrup in sparkling water! Or vanilla. Or chocolate! So good! ) Our order also included breaded mushrooms - delish! We like to get a milkshake for dessert, a chocolate malt, and we TRY to share it. Not easy since this is so good. Their service is great and I love the old 50s rock and roll they play. There are lots of nostalgic items on the walls like old movie posters, 45 records, old cameras, Coca Cola signs, just fun stuff to look at especially if you're a nostalgic item yourself like we are!

The mango sherbet they use in those is the best around with real fruit and the combo is a sweet and spicy flavor that's indescribable but delicious!

Since I'm addicted to chocolate, my choice was the Brownie Cascade milkshake. It was all that hoped for with its creaminess and overload of chocolate flavor. The best part? The price was only $6 and it was well-spent. I have been a consumer for milkshakes for 25 years or so and some places are starting to near the $10 price for a milkshake. If you need an ice cream fix, visit Dog Days in Chesterton.

Bottom Line: Fun, waterside, marina atmosphere with decent food. Worth a stop…read more I picked this place out from my map function because it looked interesting, on the water, and near an historic, old railroad bridge (Trail Creek Swing Bridge). It is my first time here, and for a late afternoon linner. The place did not disappoint--for the most part. It is open air with a beachy, boaty, picnic tables-under-umbrellas vibe. It overlooks the water, a marina, and the name inspiring railroad swing bridge which makes for an interesting visual environment. Thankfully there is no attempt to force an out of place theme, sparing us from steel drum background music. Interestingly though, the only nod to the railroad structure inspired name was an old school railroad crossing sign at the entry otherwise everything else is boat marina feel. Our server was friendly and efficient. My hefty burger was thick and juicy. The coleslaw was fresh. The disappointment was the fries. They were more like shoestring fries and came dried out/overcooked. The sweet potatoes fries were a better bet. The lackluster fries were not enough though to lose a star. Overall the experience was a satisfying one and at a reasonable price. I would definitely come back especially as a very nice alternative to the other railroad name inspired brewery restaurant in town.

Order at the counter when you walk in and grab a seat anywhere in their massive dining room. They serve Jones Soda on tap which gives this place massive bonus points.

A combo comes with fries and a drink, but I just had to try the fried green beans and onion rings. Everything was amazing and I will make this a must stop the next time I'm in Michigan City.
