Stopped at Trainwreck Grill & Ale House while traveling through because the historic train depot looked interesting, and it ended up being one of the best stops of our trip. The bruschetta appetizer was amazing and came with three different sauces that were all delicious. The spring cocktails were great too. Especially the Passionfruit Margarita. We loved it enough to order another round. For dinner we had the Railroad Street Tacos and Patty melt with the Roadmaster Mac, and both were excellent. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. Our server, Clara K., was wonderful. She was attentive, gave us several great recommendations, and shared a little bit of the history of the building, which made the experience feel more personal. The atmosphere really makes this place stand out. The stained glass windows, hardwood, historic details, and old weight scale give it so much character. The restaurant was clean, the staff was super friendly, and it looked like they even have live music at times. Definitely worth checking out if you are near Coldwater or just passing through. read more

Food was great. Atmosphere and decor were outstanding. Very Interesting facts about the old train depot. I had the Chicken Scampi, and it was delicious. Hubby had the patty melt and he said it was awesome. Menu had a good variety to choose from. read more

Nobody is leaving Trainwreck hungry; the portions are generous. We were warmly greeted at the door and quickly escorted to our table in the rustic old train station. Skylar, our server, greeted us and took our orders. She is personable, efficient, and professional, and she was attentive without being obtrusive. I chose the Mahi Mahi, which was cooked exactly as requested, and my co-star chose the steak once again. Both of us opted for the cheesecake dessert, for which the Trainwreck was duly recognized. The food was very good, and the location was easily reached from Interstate 69 by taking the Business I-69 exits. Trainwreck is worth the diversion from the Interstate. read more

This is a really fun spot with a huge menu! The spinach and artichoke dip is the best I've ever had and their smothered chicken was delicious! Wait staff were super friendly and the interior is really cool. It's in an old train station so very unique setting for dinner in Coldwater. Overall, I would highly recommend stopping here! read more

Food was great after we got it - took a long time to get it but the restaurant itself was really cool so lots to look at while we waited. It's an old depot right next to the tracks and still has the old cattle scale (built into a table!) and many features of the original building. Service was very friendly, nice list of cocktails, food was really good- esp the Wisconsin Fried Cheese Squares. Flatbread was great as was my son's chicken alfredo. Really good overall- we'll be back next time we're in the area. read more

Great food and service! I had the salmon and friends had salads and a burger. Such a nice ambience with the train station building and the historical setting. A big applause for the great band they had playing Tuesday night. read more

I popped over the MI border from Indiana to check out Coldwater. I looked around for a place to grab a bike, and Trainwreck looked interesting. We were not very busy today, so we sat by a high top by the window. The place is like a log cabin with many wood posts, paneling, and supports. Pretty dark. A full bar is available. We stuck to soda water this trip. The food menu was pretty varied, and I had the mahi tacos. Each taco (3) was a delicious serving of fish, with an excellent coleslaw in the taco. Service was good and on point. It's an interesting place and right near the railroad tracks. Recommended while in Coldwater! read more

went there for lunch and ordered a dinner to go. When I left, I realized I left it on the table came back 10 minutes later and they had thrown it away. No apology, I assumed they would hold onto something for at least 10 minutes before they would throw it away. Talked to the manager still no apology. Will not go back. With tip $30. Wasted ! read more

Very expensive. 2 salads, 2 burgers and 2 sodas was $80. Took a long time to get our drinks and even longer to get our food ordered and even longer to get our food served. As we were there as part of a group we were only allowed to order off a menu that only had 4 choices for an entree with no prices listed. Paid more because we were seated upstairs. Also were charged a fee to pay by card even if we paid cash. I would never go back. Very bad experience. read more

The name of the restaurant is what caught our attention on a day trip. Let me tell what an memorable experience we knew it was going to be good when we pulled located inside an old train Depot even with a train parked outside walked in a so much of the original bones still intact the walls are filled with railroad decor. I went in looking for a good Breaded Pork Tenderloin and it was on the menu with so many other great things too choose from. I think everyone will be able to find something. The service you receive will bring you back again and again. read more

Located in Coldwater MI, this is a hidden gem for food enthusiasts looking to explore a wide array of flavors under one roof. The food itself is very good, highly recommend the Wisconsin cheese curds because they are delicious! The bar has quite the heavy pour but a wide variety of options. Our server had a large group but he did great managing all of us. While the food shines brightly, the ambiance could benefit from some updating. The decor feels a bit dated and could use a refresh to match the vibrancy of the menu. However, the friendly service and the inviting aroma of freshly prepared meals more than make up for any shortcomings in the atmosphere. read more

Had a great meal over the holidays with my family. The burgers were cooked perfectly and had great flavor. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town. read more

Booo just walked out. No AC today I get it. The temps are registering hot as Satan's bunghole today. But geesh get creative with some fans or something. read more

Had lunch here with a friend and enjoyed it very much. I had the mahi mahi tacos which were delicious. Our waitress was very polite, friendly and helpful. I loved the ambiance of the building and happy to see a landmark building preserved and put to good use. read more

The restaurant is too dark. It was freezing sitting next to the window. The food was ok. The waiter was nice. I got a beverage and I had to drink it on the bottle because the glass still had the lipstick on from the previous customer. It was gross. I couldn't use the knife either since it was dirty. I think once was enough and won't go back. read more

We tried this place for the first time and it was very nice place. The old train depot was so beautiful and cozy. Our service was quick, and our waitress was super nice and helpful. The food was amazing!! I had the sirloins and it was so tender and juicy! We had a couple people with the pork chop and it was very tender and so good. Everything was had was very good!! We will definitely be back!! read more

In town for work and decided to check out a local spot and landed at the Trainwreck. I think some of the people in previous reviews came with high expectations, forgetting that this is a "Grill & Alehouse". With that being said, I went with the blackened chicken alfredo to eat - It was good. Not great, but good. There were only about 6 or 8 taps of beer so the selection wasn't huge but the variety was good. From what I could see, there were only two people working the floor; they weren't super busy so it worked. If you're the type who needs constant attention, you would have been disappointed but if you're the type who just needs that every so often check-in, this was perfect. read more

Went with family and drink orders were messed up right away. Then had to ask 2 different times while there for refills. Food order took over an hour to receive. One complete meal burnt and remade just in time for our party to be done eating. Had to ask for discount for the burnt meal on bill. Waitress was stopped multiple times for our table to be served in either refills, wrong drinks served or about the burnt food. Took waitress 3 trips to table to split bills up. Absolute mess in servers. Workers not attentive to tables and seemed to be having a great time as multiple tables waited. Very disappointing as that is a cool building and was hoping for more. Food is over priced as well. I can't even say it was good cause my flatbread was black and by time I got new my family was done. Maybe lower prices and get people that want to work and serve people. read more

Decided to take a 25 minute drive to try this place. First, the ambiance is excellent with it being in an old (but tastefully renovated) train station. Started off with the artichoke dip and soup of the day (steak chowder). The dip was accompanied with fresh made pita chips, which were delicious! The pita chips had some crunch, yet soft on the inside. The dip was fantastic. The steak chowder reminded me of an Irish stew and was also delicious. We both had the ribeye, which was tasty and cooked to perfection (medium rare). Our server (Erin) was very friendly and consistently checked on us, removing our empty plates efficiently. The drink (mixed and draft beers) selection is not your typical selection, showing a unique twist and crafted selections. Located in a small town, this is worth the drive! read more

The ambiance was charming. It's true that you need to plan ahead with reservations. We were waited on by a young lady who tried hard to serve a party of six adults. Overall she did fine. TWG didn't have a staff of professional wait staff working when we were there so six hungry adults can have expectations. I think the chef was not working tonight. I had more butter on my plate than I had food. If the chef had been working the plate working have left the kitchen that way.. But the wine pours were generous. The blackened fish wasn't blackened. But overall the food was good. I'd go back since this could have been an off night. read more

I took a friend out here for dinner. The food was decent. We sat by the bar and closed the restaurant. But they didn't push us out. Love love the renovations and stained glass. Especially sitting next to the tracks. Throw back in time. Drinks were great and bar tender was attentive. I'll be back! read more

Excellent! Great food, great service! Ate at the bar- Cameron and "the new guy" Tim? we're both attentive. My dinner came surprisingly quickly. The Alfredo had good taste as did the steak. Thank you for a great experience; I'll be back with friends! read more

Great food! Service is pretty good. Oddly lots of fruit flies - be better without those. But will return!

Food is great, we sat and everything seemed fine. We got our drinks and ordered our food and they weren't busy at all. 2 out of the 5 of us needed drink refills about 10 to 15 minutes after getting our drinks. The waitress acknowledged and said she would be back and never showed back up. We ended up getting our food delivered from the bartender and he refilled the drinks. Then another in our party needed and drink refill and our waitress never looked at us to acknowledged anything. Never asked how to food was or refilled drinks. We ended up getting that last drink filled from the bartender as we walked to the bar to ask for a refill that bartender was doing a great job. Food in here was awesome but the service by the waitress was absolutely horrible. The building is pretty cool and a nice repurposing of an old building. read more

Beautiful building! Lots of wood and stain glass. They only had one waitress for a busy day but she was so pleasant and worked very hard so the wait was worth it. Hubby had potato soup and said it was very good. I had the Train Wreck Tacos (not sure that's the correct name but above the Mahi Mahi on menu. Made with Mango Salsa and came with coleslaw and mango tomato rice. Delicious! Lots of complimentary fresh flavors. read more

Food was good. Price was reasonable bartender was very social. The soup came out, hot and delicious.

Fried Cheese squares are Amazing! Nice music with just the right volume of rock music. Service was timely and proactive with Soda refills.

The restaurant is an old train station for those of you thinking it's a barn. First off, our waiter was not very good. The hostess came to our table more than he did. She was tipped well. We saw several tables get up and leave because no one came to take their order. Second, the price and the portions you receive are not worth it. One tiny piece of salmon that couldn't feed a child. The drunken fisherman came with 8 tiny pieces of shrimp (menus states large), some rice and green beans. The rice was good, but the green beans were so tuff I had to cut them with a steak knife! My friend and I were still hungry after our meal so we ordered two appetizers: the crab dip and bruschetta bread. Both were good. Two meals, two appetizers, 3 $5 beers and 3 mixed drinks. Our bill was $170.00 before tip! Outrageous. Won't be coming back. The only reason I didn't give one star is because the food tasted good, but it's definitely not worth the price for what you get! read more

Tried this new place out this Saturday afternoon. Still a lot of growing pains going on here. Must be short on help. Anyways, party of 4 we were luckily able to sit @ bar and got great service. We heard a lot of grumbling from staff & hour wait or so for tables. Food was good, Crab dip was the bomb,burgers were good. Wife had Italian sandwich- good. Mahi tacos very dry & not warm. We'll give them a few months to get straightened out with organization and staff. read more

So we started at the bar with Tyler and had a blast-great guy, lots of fun. We had reservations so when time came up we moved to a table and regretted it. We seemed to be our servers after thought. Make no mistake, I wanted this to be a five star. We drove two and half hours from Detroit just to eat hear. I had Cajun pasta chicken that was rather tasty, the wife had the train something chicken which she loved. She also had French onion soup-did not like it and some crab dip-very good. The place is new, just two months so working out the bugs-I hope. Now the building is a very old wooden train depot-just awesome-the reason I wanted to come. Coldwater is a drive but the Detroit Free Press did a write up and I had to give it a go. If we come back, we will park it at the bar. read more

Came to the Trainwreck with my gf on Veterans Day since we were in town it seemed like a nice place off the reviews I will simply say this review is merely based off the experience and sub service we received from our waitress. When we arrived the parking lot seemed half full and once we entered the building inside kind of resembled like an older luxurious modern barn house lit to mark the occasion, as we were greeted we walked with our server around two corners into the very back of the establishment away from everyone. We placed an order for our drinks and once our server left we waited and talked for a bit decided what she wanted and what looked good to me and a little while later I watch as a couple few guests go through the whole cash out process and once we finally received our drinks approximately 40 minutes into the season 3 of game of thrones on my phone, followed by a couple jokes of let's just leave a $10 bill and leave, followed by another sever asking if we were okay for our food to magically appear ready. Again my food wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either or at least not worth the asking price. Once finished with the food and understanding that I couldn't have gotten a refill after watching game of thrones I guess I should've expected it to go like that the entire night but fortunately for her I was just unbothered this day, however now I've been taken to the point that something has to be said and I really feel like maybe if I would've been a little different skin tone then we could've been sat with the other paying customers but I mean how else would we tell our server that we are ready to pay and leave unless we are to get up and find you. I understand that this could simply be a rare occasion that has happened maybe once or twice but if there are any other people of color that have been I truly would like your thoughts on this cause, my thoughts so far is that this a local treasure they the locals need to keep under a tighter lock and key, or just move the whole building a couple yards to the north and wait for the midnight Train. read more

Had the best time at this place! In town for a marketplace purchase and pick up. Coldwater has a secret we did not know about. Great building, ambiance,staff and food!LOVED IT! Thank you Beau for service!! You my man! read more

This place needs to get it together. Seems like it's in beta version. Service is pleasant but slow beyond what should be endured.

The food is way too expensive and if you're looking for some places reasonable go somewhere else. A 60 to 70 dollar steak you can get at bills much more reasonably read more

Really awesome train depot restaurant with great windows. Had a couple of great bloody Marys, chicken tacos, and the roadhouse mac. The mac and cheese was everything mac and cheese should be and will be the standard I hold all mac and cheeses to from now on. It had bacon, chicken, and a chile cheese sauce. The servers were very friendly and quick. You should stop here! read more
