    N.Y. Strip, eggs overeasy, English muffin, grits, and a turkey club.
    Chanthadeth O.

    I have never had a bad meal here. I have been to almost every diner in Monroe County and this is my favorite by far. The food is superior to every diner I have been to. For almost two years I have been a regular now. The owner is also the head chef/cook and I think that's what is so special about this place's food. He takes pride in his food. Specials every weekend. I recommend the N.Y . Strip and eggs... it is a thick cut of steak. And always get the grits. You're welcome lol.

    Hot cup of coffee

    Had an early Drs appointment this morning! I always use that as an excuse to treat myself to breakfast at the Railway afterwards. Love this place, it's small and unsuspecting and has been there for many years. When I remind people of it, they are like "Oh yah, but how is it compared to......(Name of some subpar chain) I am here to tell everyone!!! YES!!! It is the best breakfast in Rochester, made to order. Quality fresh ingredients. Our server was Jenna today! She was very nice, and completely on point. My husband told her he likes his milk when he is done with his meal. What he really likes to do, is have it nice and cold,, when he takes his last bite. Wholley Molley! It's like she read his mind. As soon as her asked me to flag her down. BAM! Glass of milk on the table. That was it for him. Now he is hooked. I have never had a slimy egg, I order them poached and they are always perfect. I love the Country Benny. It's an English muffin, with sausage patty on top of each piece of muffin. Topped with country gravy, with fried potatoes, extra crispy on the side. Yummo! My husband who is the pickiest eater, has also never had a bad meal. His favorite is 2 eggs over easy, with bacon, toast and hash browns. Place is very clean, and filled with regulars. But it is not crazy with a line out the door like Jim's on Main. Simple, delicious, caring food, that tastes like it's made with love. Their coffee is always delicious. The only cons are a small parking lot, that can be difficult to maneuver, and I'm not sure they have any heat or air conditioning. I usually feel a little chilled in the winter or hot in the summer. But Idk ‍ it could be menopause lol

    Meat sauce! So good.
    Marti C.

    Stopped here for breakfast and it was awesome. We were seated quickly, coffee was flowing and the food is homemade. I had a meat lover omelette with home fries and husband got eggs Benedict with hashbrowns. We both loved it. Make sure you try the meat sauce it is fantastic and really does go on everything. We even got some to go. Our server Kelly was happy and attentive. Prices are fair and portions are large. Couldn't ask for more. Will definitely be back.

    Kids pancakes
    Jan N.

    Tasty Kid friendly Quick service Decent prices for families Accommodates large groups We were looking for a new place to eat in between running errands. It was easy to find on W. Ridge and right next to the railroad tracks. They have a parking lot and an adjacent street for overflow, but I can imagine it gets packed quickly for Sunday breakfast. Our waitress was super friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. The cheesy grits were creamy goodness! The kids pancakes shaped like Mickey's head were fun for the kids. Batter is homemade and delish that we ordered a regular order for us adults during our meal to share. Great find on Yelp!

    Where has this frittata been my whole life? I'm telling you. Order this. Meat lovers frittata, extra cheese, add jalapeños or banana peppers. Easiest 5 star of my life.

    Breakfast Messy Plate
    Andrew A.

    From the outside, this looks like a hole in the wall, and you'd drive right by and not notice it, if you're not looking for it. Inside, this place is a gem. I was seated immediately, despite the parking lot being completely full (had to park on the side street) and the place being very busy. Everyone working was super friendly, prompt, and attentive. Tons of breakfast options, and a handful of daily specials. I got the Breakfast Messy Plate (eggs, corned beef hash, potatoes topped with hollandaise). It was phenomenal. Excellent blend of different flavors, and only $8. Big portion - I couldn't finish it. It came with toast as well. They also had a S'mores French Toast weekend special, which was HUGE and would satisfy anyone with a major sweet tooth. Glad I discovered this spot, I will be back to try more things!

    My boyfriend and I wanted breakfast after work so we settled on this place and we're very happy that we did! Service was excellent and quick, food was hot and delicious. Christmas decorations were up when we went and they just added to the coziness. Will be returning!

    We came here twice on a 4 day visit, and would probably return if/when we come back to Rochester…read more It's a pretty standard diner, good breakfast, fast service, and non-stop coffee refills. There is someone just circling constantly with a pot. This is a cash only establishment, so be advised. There is an ATM. We did go at slightly off peak times, since we weren't working those days, but at those times, the restaurant seems to be a favorite of retired men, which is a good sign for a diner! They have a set menu and a specials board that I think changes daily. There's 2 full pages of breakfast, and at least 2 pages of lunch, plus the board. I'm sure you'll find something you like. I had the same thing both visits - a cheese omelet with hashbrowns and wheat toast. It was really cheesy, and I liked that it was a 2 egg omelet rather than 3, for me it was just the right size. We also split a piece of the rotating coffee cake, cinnamon walnut that day, and it was good - not too sweet, plenty of cinnamon. The guy had their 2-2-2 combo and was happy with that choice. For both of us, breakfast ran about $35, for 2 entrees and coffee, plus the cake.

Platter was huge with so much ham and potatoes with the eggs and Hollandaise, she couldn't finish it. Husband had an amazing special: a fried breakfast wrap with powdered sugar. Inside was everything! Pancake, eggs, sausage, cheese and hashbrowns. I had a bite, it was to die for. I chose the bacon cheeseburger omelette which i also loved. Our waitresses both times were attentive and so nice. Prices are good, portions are large! For breakfast, come here! And if there is a wait, I promise it's worth it!

Unfortunately, it turned into one of the worst restaurant experiences. We spent 2.5 hours total at the restaurant. After waiting an excessive amount of time, we watched two tables that arrived at least an hour after us receive their food first. When we politely asked if our ticket might have been missed, we were told those tables ordered before us, which simply wasn't true. We were then told the delay was because burgers take a long time but a nearly two-hour wait for a burger is pretty wild. It took about 25 minutes just for someone to take our drink order, and we were never asked if we wanted additional drinks. We had to flag staff down for everything. No ketchup, no hot sauce, nothing offered. The $30 mimosa flight served in tiny glasses also felt like a complete scam. When the food finally came, two people in our party were served 15-20 minutes before the other two, and the food was cold. One dish had completely raw eggs. When I let the server know I couldn't eat it, she came back and removed the meal from the bill, which was appreciated. However, the interaction itself felt tense and dismissive, which made an already frustrating experience worse. They did give us a round of breakfast shots to try to help pass the time which was appreciated. The food itself was disappointing overall. The breakfast burrito was basically all eggs with raw, bitter avocado, and my husband's burger was missing requested toppings. We also noticed food sitting in the service window while we continued waiting. The only person who was happy with their meal got the biggie fries an it was hot when it arrived. To make matters worse, the bathroom was unheated on an 18° day (feels like 2°) and not clean. We're a pretty chill, patient group and understand that kitchens get backed up but man, this experience completely missed the mark. Ironically, the cooks thanked us for our patience and servers said goodbye pleasantly on the way out. We honestly may have let a lot of this go if the service hadn't felt so dismissive when we calmly raised concerns.
