    First of all, we made reservations for Mothers Day evening. When we showed up, we were greeted and sealed immediately...despite being busy. Amazing service from Troy and the entirety of the restaurant staff. Very good selection from their drink menu. Food was good...dessert was amazing!!! A family of 5, a bit pricey to go.for, but not terrible either. Highly Recommended for a special occasion, date night, or just to get out and enjoy!

    Breakfast on Mother’s Day. We had reservations and was glad we did. We were seated right away. Our server Morgan was exceptional and fun. Food was excellent. Try the bacon! We are from out of town, and would return anytime we are in Omaha!

    Railcar is always a good time with good food. We have been there several times and are never disappointed. We usually prefer to eat at the bar but it was full so we got a booth and still had a great time.
