Absolutely love Old Rail. The trace trail runs right by it if you are needing to stop for something to eat. We never had a bad dish here! The cocktails, burgers, and salads are amazing. Seriously a must try on the North Shore. read more

Old Rail is a great spot for brunch, lunch and dinner. It's one of the few places in Mandeville where you can catch a game like you would in a Walk-on's or BWW type atmosphere (think TVs, but less and in a nicer place). The beer is unique and tastes great. The food is AWESOME! Don't skip on the pork belly if you're into it, and the burgers are amazing. Also, their brunch is much better than you would expect from a brewery pub - the chicken biscuit is to die for! There's plenty of seating, rarely a long wait, and a large at area. This is a great family spot or place to go with friends. It's casual, though you can go dressy casual if you're feeling like dressing up. It's a nice place to stop if you're going to the Mandeville Farmer's Market or riding the trace. read more

Good service, great draft beer, and food is pretty good. Nice gathering spot to meet up with friends.

Cheese on Irish nachos was not even melted! Sauerkraut on Reuben was more like coarsely ground cabbage for cole slaw and nothing like kraut for a Rueben. My wife's brisket sandwich could not be cut with a knife, so you can imagine how the chewing went. The beer I got was ok, but not nearly enough to save the meal. Place is so loud, a conversation is next to impossible. Server was personable and attentive. read more

Top notch food. The pulled pork sandwich I had was on point. My girlfriend had the honey mustard chicken salad and the honey mustard must be made in house because it's some of the best I've ever had. But the dessert was the best part. I had the caramel macchiato creme brulee and it blew my mind!. I'll be back here this summer, while either biking on the trace, or hitting up the beach at Fontainebleau read more

Spoke And Barrel - Half done because I couldn't wait to take a pic ;) - New American Near Me - Mandeville, Louisiana

Found this place after yelping for somewhere to grab lunch with the dogs after a hike at Fontainbleau. In the end there were no free tables outside, what with it being a sunny sunday afternoon, so my husband and I left the exhausted pups in the car (with the windows down, of course) and grabbed a table at the bar. Two delicious beers (a refreshing blonde and a wacky but delicious IPA) and a shared French Dip sandwich later, we were sold! We don't venture to the North Shore too often but I appreciate awesome breweries like this existing for when we do :) Edit: how could I forget to mention that the bar person was making some incrediiiiible looking Bloody Mary's. I don't even LIKE bloody Mary's and I wanted to drink this thing up. read more

Nice atmosphere. The food was good. The service started off decent then fizzled out halfway into our meal. I am a beer guy. When I go to a restaurant that brews their own beer, I usually like to try two or three different beers during the meal. I didn't get a chance because our waiter, Peyton, disappeared halfway through the meal. I finished my IPA, which was pretty good, then proceeded to nurse my water because my waiter was no where to be found. read more

We dined there last week. It's in a good location near the trailhead/farmers market. Good selection of brews and sandwiches. I had the Reuben. I like the ambiance, the location,reasonable prices and big tables. It's good for families and outside service is available read more

I actually came here twice before posting my review. I wanted to try some things and see if this place would be consistent. It was. The place looks great and the wait staff is always on top of things and pleasant. But both times we did come for lunch, so that is what I am basing my review on. We've had an Irish sounding guy as our waiter and also a very pleasant motherly hostess that made sure all was good with us. Five stars there. The appetizers... We actually got the same one twice and are blown away. The Blue Chips. It is so flavorful and feeds two very well. We saw the Alligator Bites going by for another table and that also looks super yummy. But it is hard to order anything other than those chips! Five stars. For entrees, we have ordered 4 different things by now, between beef/alligator&pork burgers, a French Dip and a shrimp po boy. All of them have the exact same problem: no flavor. It's pretty incredible that a place that serves an appetizer as flavorful as the Blue Chips can mess up their entrees. The side fries are good, though. 3 stars. We did not try beers as we had our son with us. But we definitely want to come here on a date and try a few, they look awesome and very promising! Bottom line, this place got a solid 4 stars out of 5, and I would recommend this place for beers and a few appetizers instead of entrees. read more

We back to see if anything got better. It didnt they have a new chef again. Menu really small. We had a couple drinks and left. I wish the orginal chef years ago would come back. Waitress very sweet. The building and atmosphere is great i just wish the food was as nice as the staff and building read more

Service is decent. Nice atmosphere for outdoor seating. Not great beer selection. Food was not edible. Ordered Buffalo chicken sandwich and got what looked like a reheated chicken patty with mystery sauce dumped on top. Will not be returning. Would've given one star but staff was alright. read more

Consistent food. Excellent beers! Always a great place to grab a seat at the bar and pass the time with friend or strangers. The ESB is an excellent brew but my favorite is the barleywine. Also, try the wings and salmon dip. All plates have nice portions so you won't ever leave hungry! Rock on!!! read more

We had the blue chips husband liked them I felt the chips were overcooked he ordered the chili and the fish chips I tasted them the chili was awful it was watery no chili taste the fries with the fish and chips had no taste but the battered fish was excellent I o r deed hot tea what no hot tea I then got water I ordered the special pot roast the meat was decent the gravy the put on mashed potatoes was not good the atmosphere is good love the brick but I think after certain time not appropriate for kids it is a beer lovers place read more

Draft beer was $5.25 plus tax. We tried two of the house brews. They were ok. This review is only in reference to the beer prices and flavor. We did not try the food. read more

Recently moved to Mandeville and this was the first place we went out to eat. They have a great patio for outside setting and the food is good. read more

My wife and I had a really good late lunch here today. She had hangar steak and I had a cheeseburger, both served with fries. I had a chocolate milk stout beer. It was all very good, as was service by Andrew. We will go back soon. read more

Good food that's consistent, which is more than you can say about a lot of places. They are a little quirky, but in a cool way. Their beer is good, and easy to get in and out at lunch. Dinner is a little different, with a bigger crowd and lots of families. The brisket sandwich is out standing, and the truffle fries are amazing. If you just want a beer and some fries it's perfect, and it's pretty darn good at everything I've tried. read more

Irish nachos (cheese fries) with pork or brisket must be ordered when you come here - one of the best things on the menu. Great beer selection too. I really like the Gandy Dancer Saison - very refreshing. Burgers are good too. I've also tried their grilled cheese and tomato basil soup, which did not disappoint. Come check this place out if you're in the Mandeville area. read more

Spoke And Barrel - Lunch Menu - New American Near Me - Mandeville, Louisiana

I stopped by for lunch with my husband, we ordered the nachos and a burger. The beer was very good, I had a chocolate stout and my husband chose an ale. Unfortunately the nachos were not very good, there was not enough cheese and it had hardened quickly, there was not much flavor. My husbands burger was decent, but there was not a huge selection of menu items to chose from. I would go for a beer or drinks but not for a meal. Our server was great! read more

My last stop in my New Orleans trip was one of the best. Recommended by a local brewer, this spot has a small but delicious menu along with interesting beers on tap. Small crowd for a Sunday afternoon and easily got a booth for three. Ordered the French Dip sandwich with bleu chips ($12ish) and the seven sisters IPA ($5ish). Sandwich was large and the bread soaked up the au jus really well - making a very flavorful combination. Bleu cheese chips were incredibly potent, so wasn't able to finish. With the server recommendation, finished the great meal with a creamy pumpkin ale. Service here is fast and friendly. Easily the best place you can go after crossing the causeway. read more

This is a must do if in the area. Really good beers and food. Went here twice in three days and the bartenders are just top notch. Without a doubt, the best brewery in the area. read more

Good on site brewed beer, good burgers, awesome homemade potato chips, overall a good experience, additional parking across the street. read more

Very consistent eatery, a must have is the Chicken & Andouille gumbo w/scoop of potato salad. Chicken wings, burgers are also very good.

I would like to give this place more stars, but we went in for a beer only, and were disappointed. Several were no longer on the available on the menu, which happens, they run out. The ones they had, however, were relatively thin and just not what we were expecting. read more

Cool atmosphere. We only stopped by to try the beer and we also got the bread pudding. The bread pudding was incredible. It was just the right texture and it was topped with strawberries, chocolate and rum sauce. I don't know about the other food options but the bread pudding was great!! read more

Delicious food, awesome atmosphere, and great service! I wish they would bring back Golden Spike, but they have plenty of other great beers, that are brewed in house, to pick from! I definitely recommend their brisket sandwich and Irish fries!!! read more

Great service. Great pricing and nice atmosphere. The food was good but not exceptional. Chicken wings were not quite crispy enough but that's my personal preference. Will return again. read more

Great food and brews! We had wedge salads, gumbo, and chicken. The local beer was fantastic and the service was great!

Just ate at Old Rail and the Bloody Mary was amazing! The burgers and overall food quality was excellent. I ordered the rib eye steak and it was cooked perfectly to order. My only complaint was that my steak was served on a COLD plate! They need a plate warmer in the kitchen! Overall experience was excellent and the service was on point! read more

This place is awesome! We were on vacation in New Orleans with our 2 young children (10 and 2). We all enjoyed the food. The changing table in the ladies room surpasses most I've encountered, they actually had pads for it, and wipes available. Outstanding! Wish I could remember our servers name (a very nice young man). Would love to venture back on another trip. Definitely worth the trip. read more

I love the revolving beers on tap and friendly bartenders! We enjoy the pork belly and brunch very much.

Food was delicious! Everything my group ordered was delightful. Service was great, but for being a brewery that ran out of beer was strange. Only about 5 beer options. The beer I got was tasty, may have just been a weird coincidence! read more

I would say my favorite thing about Old Rail is the atmosphere. So here is a breakdown of the highs and lows :). -it can get pricey! We have never spent less than $50 (this will cover drinks and appetizers for two). For a nice dinner date you're going to exceed $75. -the atmosphere is what makes this place. I love sitting outside, but inside is very nice as well. I like this place a lot because the cornhole and being across the street from the Mandeville Trailhead make it nice for a date for people with kids. Our children are a tad older so we let them roam a bit, but they're usually happy with the cornhole. -the food is okay. Not mind blowing, but okay. We have tried everything from appetizers, to salads, smaller tapas plates, entrees, and dessert. All just okay, but once again, this is a place we've frequented more than once because it's such a great atmosphere. Bottom line, definitely go. I am not a beer drinker, it they have a pretty nice selection and flights for you to sample. My friend always goes for the beer, but the drinks and wine have always been good. It's a nice place to go for fun and good company. It will aways have you in high spirits. read more

One of the best casual dining experiences ever. Great atmosphere for families where adults can relax and enjoy great food and deliciously unique beers and cocktails. All the food was superb and the service was outstanding. read more

Good service, friendly, but the burger was wayyy too greasy. My beautiful girlfriend had the shrimp n grits and really enjoyed it though.

Extremely disappointed in the staff. The staff tonight was extremely disrespectful. . The server tonight would not serve me a drink because he believed I was to Intoxicated. Embarrassing is an understatement. Truly disappointed. Would not recommend anyone to this establishment! read more

Wow...the food is amazing!! Started with an appetizer of the Bleu Chips and could have locked the plate clean they were so good. For my main meal I had the shrimp and grits, again, I would have kicked my plate clean. I order a feature seasonal beer called Sleeper Car Belgian Dark Strong. This was definitely a sipping beer but very good. This by far is one of my favorite restaurants in Louisiana. read more

Good food. Great beer brewed in house. Has a nice ambiance, big U shaped bar, outdoor seating and cornhole boards. I like it.
