You'll drive past it thinking, "oh look, a train station". I thought I was being punked, walking into a train station, but it was actually pretty nice. A little on the smaller side inside, but being that there weren't a lot of people (probably about 13 total), seating was comfortable. Food was good. I had a cheesesteak & fries which was pretty good and filling. read more

What a lovely place. And real trains outside. The food is exceptional. My tuna club, brimming with all the right ingredients. Think BLT but with added (really tasty) tuna. I am just thrilled to go again. Really close to home too. I know. It's the trains outside. But really. This is great food. Made with love. It's obvious. read more

Cute breakfast and lunch spot inside the far hills train station ... nostalgic feel .. almost entirely original decor ... Major points for the unique space and attentive service .. quiche was delightful ... the New England chowder,however, just wasn't chowder .. chowder is a thick cream based stew .. this "chowder" was a thin milky soup ... it tasted ok but lacked depth and left me disappointed.. wish I had an option to give a 3.5 instead of a 3 but this dining experience just fell short in my opinion... still worth a visit if you're in the area ! read more

What a great local spot right inside the train station. Service was super friendly, and helped with my friends kids orders no problem! Everything was made fresh including a lot of the sauces. I got a roast pork sandwich that was great. Pork was tender and dipped in au jus, layered with garlicky spinach that was super fragrant and some provolone (recommended) . If you are in the area stop by for a great meal. read more

Had a salad with grilled chicken and chicken was super rubbery. My salad was missing an ingredient so either they forgot to put it on or just omitted it and didn't let me know. BF had grilled chicken sandwich and it was the same super thin rubbery chicken I had on my salad. The fries were very good! Although we only had two items, I wouldn't go back. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it either. read more

Great Service and filling breakfast. Train enthusiasts and people who like old time charm will love it. Glad I stumbled upon it!

One server who is good at her job but she totally rubbed me the wrong way. Searched Yelp for a breakfast spot and found this one open until 3pm but they don't serve breakfast past 11:30am despite listed as a brunch spot. Had the quiche and the eggs weren't fully cooked to my liking. It was a decent spot. But I wasn't impressed. Customer service goes a long way with me but they missed the mark this time. read more

Our car club decided to hold a cars and coffee meet-up in the parking lot of the train station where Butler's Pantry Trackside is located. We arrived early and treated ourselves to breakfast from the menu on the chalk board. They have a tempting one option with a dish of pancakes, bacon, eggs, home fries and toast but the amount of food seemed a little heavy for me so I opted for their cheese omelette and bacon. It came with home fries and I added coffee and OJ - glad I did too. (Maybe next time I'll go for the big meal??) The eggs were cooked exactly as requested (I like my eggs "tight" not runny) and the bacon arrived perfectly crisp and hot (hard to do, in my experience). Bravo! The OJ tasted fresh squeezed and I could have ordered a second and maybe third glass. I forgot to ask if it really was fresh squeezed but non-the-less, it was yummy. I was a little disappointed by the home fries - I like mine with a little spice and a bit crispier. I didn't ask for hot sauce (my bad) and on my next visit (our car club will be back) I'll ask for a little more crispiness on the potatoes and a splash of hot sauce. I did not pull a star since my friend loved his home fries - he does not eat spicy foods so his potatoes were perfect for him. Overall, I think this is a terrific local find. The people running the kitchen know their craft and happily respond to requests for how things are done (my friend asked for his omelette to be less cooked than mine and he raved about the excellent results - he ate every morsel). Atmospheric place, comfortable interior, friendly servers, skilled kitchen man and fair prices. I think this is cool local find worthy of a visit - RECOMMENDED. See you there. read more

Quaint little spot right in the fair hills train station, you might miss it if you didn't know it was there. It has a decent selection of sandwiches and lunch items. Processed our order online and it was ready in 20 minutes. They have indoor and outdoor seating and a TV inside (not pictured) Worth a try if you're in the area! read more

Beautiful interior. Delicious coffee and breakfasts. Omelette was delicious. Quick service and friendly staff.

Today I had the best tuna salad sandwich I have had in years! A tuna fish sandwich is my standard order anywhere I go for lunch, because it tastes basically the same everywhere. It's never a "wow" sandwich but it never disappoints either. Well, the one I got from Butler's Pantry today was a "wow" sandwich! It had some magical proportion of mayo, salt, pepper, and who knows what else, because it was truly mouthwatering. Besides which, it came on the absolute freshest rye bread and had good chips and a crunchy pickle on the side. I liked the freshly brewed coffee, too. The young woman serving me was completely personable and sweet, and helpful in bringing my food out quickly, since my lunch break was only 45 minutes. She was efficient without being abrupt. In the few minutes that I was waiting, I enjoyed looking at the interesting tiled architecture, since this restaurant is inside an old, renovated a train station. A small model train running on a track above our heads was also a charming touch. I look forward to eating here again soon. read more

Arrived 20-25 minutes prior to the 7:00pm closing. Let's just say neither the waitress, nor the man in the kitchen were thrilled. Just two of us-ordered a roast pork sandwich and a cattle car salad...so nothing elaborate or complicated "close" to closing. Steak tips on salad were burnt, dry, and inedible, kaiser roll was black on the underside from way too much toaster time. How do you let things go out of your kitchen that way?! Not cheap food either; $40 for two meals w/one soda. Such an epic failure for such a super cute place. Love the atmosphere, typically have love the food, but the server and the cook (only staff) were abysmal. So so bad, so so disappointing. Maybe dinner isn't the ticket there. ‍ read more

I so wanted to like this place. Based on reviews was thinking it would be a quaint local place with fresh made food. What I got was borderline 2 stars but I reserve that rating for the truly awful. If it wasn't for the fries we definitely would have been in that territory. The only thing that was good on my plate (sorry, plastic packet) were the fries. They were definitely store bought frozen fries but they were hot, cooked well, and properly salted. Ran straight downhill from there. Everything, I mean everything was store bought. The breaded chicken sandwich wasn't even the higher end frozen chicken and the burger... well the burger. First off, radically under seasoned. And I don't know how you get that little char/crust on a burger. Cook it in an oven? Microwave? And the buns were none too fresh. Went based on good Yelp reviews. Let me down badly in this case. read more

We grabbed a takeout lunch while in the area this weekend. The online ordering function was super easy. Food was ready exactly when the email said it would be! They have a safe and easy process in place due to COVID. No complaints at all! We actually ended up taking the food and enjoying it by sitting in the sun at one of the outdoor tables. Such a nice little spot with delicious, fresh food!! read more

Fabulous breakfast spot. Just had the Freight Train Special which is a mountain of food! All fresh and tasty. Tranquil environment of an old train station. Very friendly staff. Food was delicious and would certainly recommend. Would love to come and try dinner. read more

It was okay. Service slow but they only had one waitress which she did her best to wait on everyone. Unfortunately the broasted fried chicken was too done. Cute place. Will try again. read more

I love the freight train special. It's a LOT of food - two eggs, some bacon, two sausage links, two enormous (very thick and fluffy) pancakes, toast, and home fries. Only order it if you're super hungry. But you won't be disappointed. For around $14 it's a great value. I'm not normally a big fan of pancakes but I like the ones they serve here. The woman who works here (there's only one waitress every time I've gone) is very friendly and attentive. I don't know her name but she's great. (I should learn her name.) There's a TV that's always playing ESPN (with the sound off) which is nice if you wanna catch up on the sports headlines. Overall a nice quiet atmosphere. read more

Stopped for lunch the other day, large & very good cheeseburger with fries, I've also had they're broasted chicken & assorted breakfast items. Friendly server & quick turnaround time in the kitchen & great for watching NJ Transit trains pass on the Gladstone Line. read more

This place is a hidden gem! It is the station house of the Far Hills NJ Transit Train Station. The restaurant has high ceilings, a classic old-school feel to it (station benches for some tables), is always full, and is efficiently managed by one waitress. As for the food, they have all the classics - burgers, sandwiches, wraps, etc. I got the tuna salad sandwich with a side of fries - pretty standard dish but tasted great! The fries were awesome and they give you plenty! Food was fresh, service wonderful, prices cheap, and the atmosphere was so classic and retro, I felt like I was in an old movie. Such a warm and pleasant experience - I definitely recommend! read more

Have been coming here for quite some time and never dissapointed. Great menu that accommodates everyone's pallet. Meeting place for lunch always. read more

Worth going just for the cool setting inside a historic train depot, and then the food and service were great too. Sandwiches and salads, good dessert options. The chocolate chip pie wasn't as good as my mom's, but hers is out of this world, so... the bar is high. I got the special, a breaded chicken club, and it was hot-hot & fresh. Quick and friendly service from the one (!) gal working all the tables. Just a tip, they primarily use digital menus, so seat yourself when you walk in and scan the QR code on your phone. Or ask for a menu. read more

Great place service and food. Got the special sandwich of the day consisting of Grilled Swiss, Turkey, Bacon, Avocado and house made honey mustard on rye. Able to taste each ingredient. Homemade coleslaw great as was dessert. Keren the waitress was wonderful. Also they are not kidding with the name. It is literally in a train station. read more

Stopped here for a late lunch. I walked in at 2:15 but the restaurant closes at 3 pm for a break. It was nice to sit indoors with the AC while waiting for the train. The TV was running very loudly, so the establishment was very noisy between the kitchen, ice machine, fans/AC. The server working was a little hard of hearing (an old lady) but very sweet. She also didn't bring water, I had to ask for it. Service was slow considering how empty the place was. The food was relatively inexpensive and average taste. The menu had basic American foods, like soup, salads, sandwiches, and burgers. I ordered the roast pork sandwich with provolone cheese (cheese is extra cost), which came with potato chips. The menu described the item as "Roast Pork dipped in Au Jus Topped with Garlic Spinach served on a toasted Italian Roll." I personally thought the spinach didn't have any taste of garlic and was basically unseasoned. Would have enjoyed the sandwich more with less spinach since it made the sandwich slightly soggy. Chips were basic and nothing special. Overall a nice place to relax a bit if you are hungry while waiting for a train, but not somewhere I would go out of my way to go to. read more

Five-star shoestring fries and the rest is pretty darned good too! Enormous sandwiches, house-made iced tea, chunky local pickles, even fresh peach pie all make this a great stop on the yelp food railroad :) Friendly and quick service too. Not just lunch, they serve dinner also. The Jersey sloppy joe is turkey, bacon, swiss and coleslaw arranged around three slices of rye, it's a meal for two, only $9. It was a disaster to eat but so worth the mess! The fish and chips had the amazing shoestring fries plus perfectly round fish nuggets, kinda looked like kid food but was tasty, $10 was fair. Also tried their chicken sandwiches, both grilled ($8) and breaded/fried ($7) were served on kaiser rolls and came with those great fries, low price for great fare. The only way to improve these sandwiches is to bring beer LOL! Nestled inside the old Far Hills train station, the Butler's Pantry tucked its kitchen into the ticket master's office, kept the old waiting room benches and added a bunch of tables in the middle. The door by the parking lot doesn't open, go around to the tracks to enter. No tables outside unfortunately. Vegetarian rating: 1 star, only option is grilled cheese. We were too full for pie unfortunately, won't miss it next time. read more

This is a local feel good classic breakfast/lunch place. It is so cute! The feel inside rages you back to the old train station days. My dad and I came for lunch. He had 1/4 pound cheese burger and shoestring fries. I had a cheesesteak with cheese and onions with chips. It was the perfect size and they are generous with their portions of fries and chips. Great service and very clean! We are looking forward to coming back again. They also have dinner and specials at night. The desserts are homemade along with the soups and probably much more. I got a coconut custard pie to go. This was a very pleasant experience! read more

Great little independent place. Stopped in for a late morning breakfast on a weekday. Clean, well lit and the only TV (tuned to ESPN) was on at a very low volume (thank you Jesus!) Warm, friendly service. Eggs cooked perfectly. Only disappointment was green and orange peppers added to the otherwise excellent homemade corned beef hash. (Not a fan of peppers and never heard of them being added to CB hash before this.) Will definitely go back. read more

Excellent! Quiche was out of this world & pancakes were huge and so fluffy. Sweet spot, must try!

Been living in the area my whole life and I can't believe I've been missing out on this place! Had a terrific brunch with Mom. Friendly service, amazing neighborhood atmosphere. I had an omelette, Mom a grilled cheese, both were fresh, made to order and very good. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

Really enjoyed the food, almost like home without our dog. All of the things I would change, like the lighting to warm things up, are not needed. I think the kitchen is the size of phone booth or newspaper stand from the old train station layout - but, they prep the food properly so the wait times for cooked-to-order (better than) diner fare is good to excellent. The menu is intelligently planned and the specials are quiet fame.....the portions, generous. Beyond Pluckemin Inn and Ninety Acres, there is only Delicious Heights (who stopped selling Fish & Chips and I cut my visits there by 80% since); this little whistle stop of a train station is the best good food in town. It is the only place worth going for a sit down breakfast. Butler's Pantry a worthwhile stop for take-home lunch or dinner . . . their prime rib - - don't tell anyone about it, that good. read more

The gps took us to a random field but we found it with a u-turn none-the-less. The pricing is affordable and the atmosphere is old-on-the-go. It is a great location for train riders. The waitress was a bit slow but i take it as she was an elder. She was moving the best she could. It may help if the young girl that was bussi2the tables also took orders and check for refills while in shift with her. The lunch was absolutely EVERYTHING . We had the steak sandwich. The meat, cheese, bread, mayo combo was amazing. The food was worth the wait. I would return her just to watch the crowd and have other meals. They food makes you want to eat EVERYTHING. Unfortunately they do not have turkey bacon. Hopefully one day they add that to the menu. read more

Ok, its a restaurant in a train station. Sounds weird right? Sounds like some shitty sandwich place set up just to grab desperate hungry people waiting for trains with pre-prepared turkey sandwhiches and crappy coffee right? NOPE!!! This is one of those small town family owned restaurants that always wanted to find but never can. The menu is fairly simple but everything is very fresh, and very well prepared. Basics are all offered-- burgers, good fresh turkey sandwiches, cheesesteaks. They also offer a full menu of 'broasted' foods which are fried-like but healthier than frying. They have homemade soups, a very large changing dessert menu, and everything is made on premises daily. If you're lucky enough to get there on raspberry pie day-- you MUST try a slice. Heaven!!!! Dinner is more involved and they have specials each night of things that are fresh, old fashioned country meals like meatloaf or pasta night or other fantastic home cooked goodness. Dont expect fast food, and dont expect it to be fast-- everything is made to order. Its a really nice old style, country living kind of place. And where else can you get raspberry pie? read more

I eat here about 2x per week, mostly for lunch. The roast beef is made fresh every day and sells out often but its a winner if you can get it. Order it on a roll with mayo or au jus. Sliced turkey is also fresh daily. I always order a side of potato pancakes, greasy and salty, just the way they should be. All dishes are cooked to order so kick back and watch the toy train set on the ceiling and save room for fresh, homemade pie. Great place, all local customers and priced right. Can't beat it. read more

Great place. If I have friends or family visiting I'll take them here for lunch because it's so unique. My son loves that the train rolls by right outside. I've had the BLT and turkey club. Both were great. I need to try their desserts, they sound fantastic. read more

I used to eat at Trackside all the time when I worked right down the street. Most of their options are pretty simple, nothing too special, but everything I have had there is great. I often took food to go since I was in a rush to get back to work, but I always loved going in there and people watching when I did. Far Hills is one of those small country towns where everyone seems to know everyone else. It seemed like whenever I went in there, someone was bumping into their friends or family or someone they knew. I often had the same experience, recognizing customers I dealt with down the block. Such an awesome small country place, ride on the tracks. read more

I think this may be our favorite little restaurant. We love the train-station setting and quaint way it is furnished. Including those French-style lace curtains in the windows. The tasty, unpretentious, honest, home-style dishes are what keep us coming back. There are always daily specials - both entrées and desserts. And the regular menu has lots of enticing options. We've gone a bunch of times for lunch, and enjoy seeing the lady who takes care of us. My guy always has the burger - he likes the grilled taste and fries. I've been trying the various sandwiches, soups and sides, and have enjoyed every one. For a unique, rather old world setting, and uncomplicated, very tasty food, this place can't be beat. read more
