    The bacon chee and tots
    Lena M.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Atmosphere feels good. The food tastes great. And I liked how you could see all the cooking going on while waiting. Brian is a great cook !!

    Highly recommend The Rail! Tonya, Kyleigh, JP and Logan handled the onslaught of people who were brought up to catch the ferry from Seattle. Came together as a team, weren't frazzled, and provided amazing food & service.

    Bacon cheeseburger with an onion ring add-on!
    Simon R.

    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.

    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!

    The staff were really friendly! The food and portion size was good too. Their rail sauce they put in the burger is good, asked for it on the side and ate it with fries

    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!

Brussels sprouts are ubiquitous these days, known for…read moretheir hearty health benefits and delicious taste, but this restaurant truly did them right. They were perfectly fried with a crunchy exterior, all heightened by a lovely drizzle of honey. 5/5 Fried Chicken Sandwich - This sandwich was a monstrosity! If I were Sasquatch, I'd still be full after eating this. They practically put two fillets into one sandwich. The breading was flavorful, and the chicken was incredibly juicy and tender. I definitely appreciated the generous portion size. 4/5 Ahi Tuna - Deliciously fresh and simple. The tuna was lightly seared and served sashimi-style with a perfect rare interior. Being so close to the ocean makes you appreciate how fresh seafood can taste, and they deliver that here. It's lightly dressed with soy sauce and citrus to bring out the natural flavor of the fish. 5/5 Service & Atmosphere - The service was great, and we were seated quickly. Our waiter knew the daily specials by heart; he was quick yet succinct in explaining what the restaurant specializes in. I really enjoyed this place!

    Not good for big parties. We had 6 adults and 1 child and had to sit in separate booths, but at…read moreleast the booths were next to each other. We were also warned that the kitchen gets "overwhelmed" with big groups, which we appreciated their honesty. Our table decided to order a variety of items and to share. My mom would've loved the schnitzel but when I asked if they could put the spaetzle and sauce on the side, the waiter told me "no, the chef won't do that because it would be visually unappealing." We ordered it anyway and it tasted good but my mom couldn't try it. I think it would've been fine if the spaetzel and sauce were on the side (would've been my preference too) so it would also keep the schnitzel crunchy. But anyway, we also ordered the seared tuna, which was too garlicky for our liking, the shrimp boil, which was very good, and the fried chicken, which was just ok. My sister sitting in the next booth also ordered the brussel sprouts and that was easily the star of the show! This restaurant allows kids but I'm not sure if I would really consider it to be "kid friendly" since they did not offer a kids menu. All-in-all, food was good, service was honest, and we would probably come back.

But then we were sat in the enclosed party area with two other tables, and not that it was the restaurant's fault but there were screaming children and the enclosed area just echoed everything. We thought to ask to move, and we should have. So note that if you get sat there. Our server was a sweet girl, took our order after grabbing us drinks and checked in to make sure we had everything. The main issue I had was the taste of the food since some dishes were a bit pricey. Three in our party ordered the fish and chips, that they all said was really bland and nothing special but the fries were crisp and good. My husband and I ordered the grilled Tiger Shrimp entree and the Salmon Fettuccine Alfredo. The shrimp were rubbery and tasted like that had been under the warm lamp for a bit. And I wish they would have side substitutions since the grilled veg was a squash zucchini mix with rice but it all had no flavor. The Salmon Alfredo was kinda the same. Bland and dry fish, but at least a good portion. But the sauce was broken and stringy, needing seasoning as well. My husband and I's ticket with sodas and one cup of pretty good clam chowder came to around $90 before tip. Needless to say we were disappointed with our first seafood experience since traveling from Arizona.
