The Railway - Pecatonica

Love Railway. Hailey the bartender is friendly and attentive.

It was just okay. Nothing to write home about. Service was good enough maybe a little understaffed. The boneless wings were okay, but the garlic Parmesan dipping sauce did not taste like garlic or Parmesan; it tasted like the fake butter movie theaters use on popcorn. I am pretty sure the burger is a preformed patty from a food service company. It was over seasoned and very salty. Fries were under done and kind of limp. The place looks a little beat up. Duct tape on the bar rail pad and the men’s room has that “used up” thing going on. Needs a refresh. Pet peeve: taxidermy animals in a restaurant. No. Just no. And, if you must have them, dust them occasionally.

Fun place! The Reuben is fantastic, and DO NOT MISS the potato salad! Good food, good prices, upbeat atmosphere, friendly service. Glad we stopped by!

My friend was visiting from Texas. Trying to meet between Freeport and Rockford and she stumbled on railway posting. Best choice we could have made. She had the mac and cheese with bacon looked awesome. I had a Reuben, best I've ever had. Piled high with real corned beef. The bartender waitress was very nice and sociable. We're going to get ice cream afterwards down the street, needless to say we were both stuffed and brought leftovers home. Thanks for a great lunch!

Order a ribeye steak well done but it was under cook, the vegetables where missing, I found out after that the veggies were under the steak.
