they slow service but an absolutely amazing burger. hopefully it was just an off day for the server. would still recommend going there.

I was thoroughly surprised with the burger from The Rail. Upon entering, there is a long bar in front. That's where you order and then you take your number to your choice of table or bar. We sat in the dining area, there is plenty of seating. I couldn't figure out what the design theme was. They had skateboards on the wall and some art that I could not make out but looked sinister lol. I ordered the Sweet Spot burger. It reminded me of the Western Bacon from Carl's Jr but of course more stout and tastier. I just wish it had more sauce, I had to douse some ketchup on it. The tater tots were cooked to a nice crisp. Overall, service and food were decent. I'd stop here again if I make it to Port Angeles again. read more

The Rail is a solid family friendly dinner option after a day of hiking. The burgers and fries are delicious, the kids options are decent (although few), and there are beer/cider options available. Order at the counter, then sit to be served at the table. It's busy sometimes, but we've always been able to find a spot. Bathrooms are ok. read more

The burgers were so juicy and flavorful, well seasoned. Crispy oily tater tots with fancy ketchup. The cashier took my friend's order & then left for a bit to make drinks before I can order. So my order came out way later. Lots of silly art decor. A bit busy at 2:30 but still lots of seats. read more

You want to eat at this skater cool restaurant. We were looking for some midday fuel and The Rail was the perfect place to stop at. I love the vibes of this shop. Feels like a skater burger place. The music is great and the art on the walls is fun. There were plenty of seats available. You order at the counter and get a number for your table. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger that was really tasty. I got the tots for the side. They had all gender single stall restrooms here. It's a huge space. I'd recommend coming here for a burger. They offer a lot of creative options. read more

Food is amazing!!! Fresh and delicious! We had deep fried pickle spears, onion rings, bbq wings and bacon cheese burger. You can really taste the freshness. Price is quite low and quality is very high! read more

Poor service, over priced burger, and inconsistent. My burger was dry, and tasted like air.

We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon after a long weekend backpacking in the Olympics. You order at the bar. The guy working didn't even say hi and he seemed like he was very unhappy to be taking my order. That was the worst of our experience. The food was delicious, they have an extensive tap list, our food came out relatively quickly, and they have great art on the wall. Mt two friends both had burgers that they really liked and I had the steak sandwich special. The fries are pretty standard and I was glad I ordered tots. Will go back again when I am in town. read more

Fantastic spot portside in Port Angeles. At first you can't quite get the idea of it until you go inside, where you find out it has a skate vibe. Wonderfully friendly person at the counter who was entirely ready for everyone to bring their dogs (dog friendly!) - which they did. First time ever that we didn't have to sit outside with our dog, as long as we kept her to herself and close to our table. Yes, it is right by an old rail line. We ordered a faux chicken burger (delish) and a breakfast sandwich. Also be sure to try the beignets which are delightful with an apple-y syrup drizzled over. We would definitely go here all the time if we lived here. read more

We really loved the tuna sandwich here. It was quite special and unique. We drove an hour just to get them. It was that good. We were very disappointed to find they have discontinued it. The burgers are good, but the tuna sandwich was outstanding. read more

Ate here after a trip to Olympic National Park. Delicious burgers, great flavors, and love that any patty can subbed for a Beyond. Fries and tater tots were crispy to perfection. Loved the ambiance of the place, had the football game playing in the back, and the servers were so friendly. Great location, walkable to the pier. Would come back! read more

I've been here before and had better food. The bun was cold and hard and the tots had been cooked a couple times. Maybe an off cooking crew tonight? Not sure but a $20 burger should be better. read more

Our food was great and service was lovely! My son and I shared a burger and really enjoyed playing the games they provide while we waited. No wait at all to be seated mid-October. Food came and I realized they'd given us fries instead of tots. They immediately made us a massive amount of tots which was so sweet! The restaurant is cute and the location is great! read more

Unfortunately, a very long wait for lukewarm foods. Didn't have enough staff. From a local resident

I entered the rail at around six pm and was greeted and offered a menu promptly. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger at the front counter. After paying I took my drink and number to a table near the middle of the restaurant. There was moderately loud music coming from the back of the restaurant and a television showing sports. I waited a very reasonable amount of time for my meal and it was delivered to me by a very kind employee who offered sauces. The bacon cheese burger was served with lettuce tomato and pickles and it was a solid burger, not too greasy, and it was complemented with some sauce. I picked fries, which were cooked extremely well. I decided to eat most of them before ever taking a bite of my burger! Over all the meal was exactly what I expected and I enjoyed it. read more

My friend and I stopped here on a Friday for dinner after a long day of driving and hiking. We were going to eat at a gastropub up the street, but that place was insanely busy. Needless to say, we were relieved to snag the last available table at The Rail. At The Rail, patrons order at the counter. The young woman who took our order was both friendly and efficient. My friend ordered a burger, tater tots, and a beer. The woman who took our order told him that all their beers are provided by a local brewery. He is a connoisseur of beer, and thought whatever he ordered was "good, but not great." He was pleased with his meal. I ordered the Vaccine burger with fries. The fries were really good. The burger would likely have been good too if it hadn't been SMOTHERED in super sweet barbecue sauce. It took far too long to get our food (well over a half hour). The place is kind of divey, but it's clean and comfortable. read more

Solid burger joint. Service was nothing to write home about. Nobody offered us anything while we waited. We observed the grill people bust their ass, but food still took 45 minutes+. Maybe they need a bigger grill? Not sure why it took so long. It was busy, but it's burgers/fries... Ambiance was good and it's a clean joint. read more

Stopped her compliments of the Yelp! app. Solid burgers with a choice of tater tots. We ordered the Ollie and the Rail. Next time I'd ask for lettuce/tomato on the Ollie. Would recommend & return. read more

I love this place. The food. The service. Outstanding. I love walking in. Telling them my mood and having them put something together that brightens my day. At the end of a long day I don't want to think about what I want to eat. Thank you for all the times you serve me. read more

Love eating here. Went the other night and have a delicious sandwich that was basically a spicy grilled cheese with bacon and peppers. Service was friendly and quick. The restaurant is very clean and easy to find seating, and there is even local artists' art displayed for purchase. read more

Stopped by, the Rail while exploring the Olympic Peninsula. I'm always looking for a good burger and fortunately these folks have one. I had the bacon cheeseburger and added an onion ring. It had a nice synergy, nice flavors, the bun held up. This was a solid Burger. Obviously, skateboarding is certainly the driving force for their ambiance. A lot of classic decks on the wall, a cool vibe, especially for those of us who used to skate. Service was mediocre at best if I'm being honest. It certainly wasn't bad, but it wasn't very friendly either. A lot of young people who kind of seemed irritated with the grind. I get it work sucks, no biggie. The food was cool, The atmosphere was fun, and interesting menu where you can even get your buzz on. I recommend this place, for sure. read more

The Rail - Bacon cheeseburger with an onion ring add-on! - Burgers Near Me - Port Angeles, Washington

Burger was good, can't comment on the tots because I grabbed my burger and headed over to the ferry before they could put the tots together. So I paid for tots but left because things were moving too slowly, at least for me I had asked the guy taking my order if I could be out in 20 minutes because I needed to be in my car at the ferry in 25 minutes I imagined that he would have passed on the info that "this guy needs to catch the boat," but I don't think it happened (I left a 20% tip) My burger hit the grill surprisingly long time after I had ordered it, like pushing 15 minutes after I had ordered it the meat hit the grill. Reckon I had hoped for a heads up to the chef on my behalf There were other customers but they weren't crazy busy I would not be opposed to eating there again (maybe I can pick up my tots ), but if it's in the context of waiting on the ferry I will approach it differently (call ahead or allow 45 minutes to walk over, get food, walk back to the car) I know there was someone else wanting to get out of there to catch the ferry. Seems the chefs could have gotten the fries and tots ready before the burgers were wrapped up, especially since I had twice mentioned to the kitchen that I needed to leave Looking at other reviews, it's probably not the place for a quick bite Live and learn read more

Noisy on a Sunday afternoon. My sweet burger was really dry. The smash burger style of cooking is used, but the burger was well well done. Now I know why it took so long to get our food. Be patient. My wife's steak salad used the same dry ground beef patty on a lovely salad. read more

Had the Porter mushroom. I really enjoyed my lunch and will come back. They have local beer from the barhop.

Update: upping to 5* for consistently solid tasty burgers, nice staff and reasonable prices for most burgers. I like the fries. my hubby loves the tots and also rings are good. I noticed improvements in ambiance with cool music and art show offerings. Summer seating in the back patio, ah to wish for warm days, soon.. read more

You know how when someone has a bad experience, they blast every review spot they can find. Well that is me with the rail, but ALL happy comments. Was my experience perfect nope, will i be back YES!!! I had one of the best burgers and tots ever. I was in town for a convention, and we had all already learned that the restaurant at the Red Lion, was horrible, very expensive, very slow, and for me, simply horrible. so, we didn't have a ton of time, and a bunch of us had spotted this little gem, just down the street, so our group headed there, there were 8 of us. We were not the first in line, at least 2 smaller groups and a few singles beat us there. Needless to say they were overwhelmed with people on an off season Saturday. There were 2 of them. One to ring up and serve, and 1 cooking. It pretty much took our whole hour for all of us to get our food, and that was fine, and those that came in after us had to change gears and get theirs to go, because they were running out of time. Want to know why they get 5 stars? Because they handled it. No outward stress, no slamming stuff, no fuss, just smile and keep moving, quite efficiently I might add. My burger and tots came to me HOT, and SOOOOO good. reminded me of my childhood going to the local burger stand, and the tots, cooked to perfection. Seems sill i know, but i love a good tot, and they are often overcooked or super greasy, and I don't eat out a lot, so it is nice when it meets expectations. We had to go too, and everyone at my table had finished their food by the time i got mine, so I didn't want to keep them, and so I ate the tots and a few bites of my burger, and got the rest of it to go. Totally worth it by the way. Had it for breakfast the next morning, perfect! just as good the next day. considering how ridiculously expensive everything is right now, the prices were very reasonable for such a quality meal. everyone at my table had a similar experience regardless of what they got. so i shall speak on their behalf, and strongly recommend this place if you are in town. read more

The place is clean and lots of indoor seating. The staff are friendly and provided excellent customer service. The food is delicious. We had burgers and fries. The smash burger was so yummy! You order at the bar and they bring it to your table. They have a variety of choices. It was hard to choose. This place is a definite addition of places to visit when in the area. Support local businesses! read more

Great burgers, Sandwiches & snacks in this little spot across from the Port Angeles Wharf. I choose to eat there every time I'm in town. They do have some great beers / ciders on tap and hard drinks as well. Service can be hit or miss depending on how many people are working the kitchen and the rush of customers but food is ALWAYS delicious! read more

The Rail - The Sweet Spot Burger (bacon, cheddar, spicy tomato jam & onion ring) - Burgers Near Me - Port Angeles, Washington

It's too noisy to carry on any kind of conversation here, but the food is good and the staff is great. I had the curry wings and the "Vaccine" burger with tater tots. It doesn't come with dipping sauce, but you can order some. The fry sauce was actually some of the best fry sauce I've ever had. The wings were mild and moist. I look forward to trying the barbecue wings next time. The burger comes with bacon, grilled onions, jalapeños, barbecue sauce, and bleu cheese, but I got cheddar instead. It was pretty fabulous. There's a water dispenser, but no ice. If you want conversation, get your food to go or be prepared to yell at each other. read more

After being treated very rudely at Bourbon West we strolled over to the Rail to get a cocktail and an appetizer. What we got was much more than that! Tonya greeted us with such warmth and was so friendly that it completely made us forget the miserable experience we had just a few minutes before. I told Tonya this was my first time in the Rail since they got the full bar and she was patient and kind with me. Explaining their specialty cocktails and making some dining recommendations to me. I tried the figgy mule and was blown away. What a heavenly taste of autumn in a delicious drink. We had the mac and cheese balls and they were a nice appetizer. The cocktails were inspired and well made and the hospitality sets a high bar for the downtown area. I hope they offer up a few more appetizers on their menu and we can't wait to come back for another Happy Hour soon. Thanks so much for rescuing our one day off!! read more

I got food poisoning here (August 2024), which took me a very miserable week to get over.

The Guac On burger was tasty but it took 40 min for me to get it! The place wasn't even that busy, maybe 2-3 half full tables. I put my order in at 4:048 p and got handed it at 4:48 pm. I even had to change it to to go bc it took so long. T there was another guy there who said he had been waiting 45 min. Prepare to wait and hopefully you're not hungry read more

Missed it when we first drove by, circled the block and there it was. Small spot in a great location. Guy that was taking orders was super nice and patient while people ordered. The menu was amazing. Got the Aloha which had spam on it. Delicious spam. Food came out really quick. Old school skateboards on the wall and artwork were a great touch. Bartender was either having a bad night or is just generally grouchy. Otherwise it was really good. read more
