You are missing out if you do not stop here! The wait may be a little longer than you like but its because it is SO worth it. It... is small and locally owned but it is amazing! Read more
First visit to Railway, and not sure if we will be back. We both ordered the Pimento Bacon Burgers, and both ordered medium... rare, but always cooked well done. Neither had a good taste or presentation of plates. Spending $45.00 dollars for lunch andwe could have dined at Scott?s Crossing, and received a better burger! Read more

Lunch was amazing. The steak was so flavorful and perfecty cooked. There herb butter was on point. Get there right at 11 if you... can or you may have to wait a bit. PS- I would do really sketchy things for another one of those brownies. Read more
This was the 1st time trying Railway Cafe as we had gone to Athens for filing documents at courthouse. My husband is an... attorney and suggested I join him for a beautiful drive. He had decided this would be a wonderful lunch place for us to try! Was he ever RIGHT!! Best Roasted Tomatoe Basil soup and Petit Grilled cheese EVER!! Such robust, mouth watering taste that hitthe spot on the cool day! My husband chose Chicken Salad Sandwich with chips and he was smiling, so I know he loved it too. For dessert we had the most decadent creme brule, I believe we have ever tasted! This dessert was creamy, cooked to perfection,dusted with a morsel of cinnamon to compliment the Mexican Vanilla in this outstanding dessert. Fresh blue berries and slicedstrawberries topped the thin shell of brown sugar browned to a crisp layer. Staff were helpful, kind and attentive to keepinghis tea glass filled as well as his water, this is huge for us. Establishment was very clean, the atmosphere was all the otherrestaurants should strive to be, enjoyable....not rushed. BUT get there early! People flock to this restaurant! Standing roomonly as we exited. Prices were well below what the magnificent quality of food and amount you get should be. Seriously cannotwait to go back! Compliments to the chef, as his wife/partner came over and conversed with us for a bit. She was ecstatic thatwe were bragging on all of his delicious talent with preparing all of our lunch for that day. They are a must see in Athens, Tx. Read more
