Railway Cafe - Athens

We've been eating here since they opened. Always good, great prices, friendly staff and waiting worth when there is one. Yeah, it's busy and you could wait because it's the best place around.

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.

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 hit the 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 sliced strawberries topped the thin shell of brown sugar browned to a crisp layer. Staff were helpful, kind and attentive to keeping his tea glass filled as well as his water, this is huge for us. Establishment was very clean, the atmosphere was all the other restaurants should strive to be, enjoyable....not rushed. BUT get there early! People flock to this restaurant! Standing room only as we exited. Prices were well below what the magnificent quality of food and amount you get should be. Seriously cannot wait to go back! Compliments to the chef, as his wife/partner came over and conversed with us for a bit. She was ecstatic that we 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.

Nice lunch with the grandkids, ages 3 5. The kids had pasta and fruit. Must have been good they are it all. Service and chicken salad was excellent.

First time here and it was pretty good. We will come back when we are in town. Burgers are very tasty and the service was great!
