    Great drinks and food. The soups always end up tasty, and I just had the Steak Salad for the first time. It was ahhhmazing!

    Not a bad Hickory Burger. Sweet Potato fries are also solid. Happy Hour prices when a train goes by is a nice touch.

    The chicken tortilla soup is delicious!! Try the blue cheese vinaigrette and the cajun Hammy, my whole meal was excellent.

    The Box Car trio (salsa, queso and guacamole) is decent. The guacamole tastes like straight up lime which is disappointing. The queso was good but the salsa was #ratchet!

    Nothing special about the food, it's loud and the service was indifferent.
