Runaway Train Cafe

The food is great! Our service was terrible. The guy actually complained that we got up and asked a different worker for a refill. He didn't bring us our drinks. We asked someone else to bring our drinks. I have never not left a tip, but I didn't this time. I would say I need a refill and he would go to the table next to us. He talked about getting a tip from the table next to us. This place has gotten really expensive. The food is delicious, but the limited options and the price make it not really worth it. I hate saying that because the owner is awesome and the sweetest. However, we will not be going back.

When I got there someone was waiting at the door to open it for me. I got seated immediately. The waiter was nice, all the food was made right. I got the fried chicken sandwich, my only complaint is I wish the jalapeno bacon was a little spicier

The patty melt was perfection and the atmosphere just adorable for this wild train car in middle of seemingly nowhere.
Try the Dr. Pepper blended float!!

Best chicken salad sandwich I’ve ever had. The jalapeño cheese bread added just the right amount of mild but very tasty heat. The food came out quickly and was very fresh. Best of all was the outstanding and courteous service. Thanks for an excellent lunch!

Absolutely loved this place. Excellent service, food, and atmosphere. Had the "spicy" (don't worry not too spicy at all!) chicken salad on jalapeno roll as well as some pecan ice cream pie! Husband and I split the Texas Toothpicks and the 1/2 order was perfect size for the two of us.

Our granddaughter had a football game in Santa Anna this afternoon. What a beautiful area, and a beautiful day. Afterwards, we had dinner at the Runaway Train Cafe, which is really a converted train car. The food and atmosphere were absolutely tremendous and the service and waitstaff superb. This will definitely go on my list of places to visit again.🙂👍

Great concept with the train as a restaurant. We loved the ice cream shakes. Will definitely visit again when I'm in town.

I took my grandson to the train museum, then we came here for snacks afterwards. The building is soooo cool, and the service was awesome. The guy even got down on my grandsons level to take his order. Brady thought that was very nice. Brady loved his grilled cheese and I was delighted to find a veggie burger! Yall need to try this place!

Omg by far the best burger and fries I have ever had! The food came out perfectly hot and juicey! The whole experience really made me say Wow this is an amazing restaurant!! Love the theme as well! It's cool to eat on a once used train! Really nice parking and they have to go as well! Super easy for people that need to use a ramp to get in as they have stairs to get up to the train. The staff and atmosphere were great! Believe it's a family who owns it and my goodness they are just all wonderful! We had to get t-shirts from them and we hardly do that! Please please go visit them and check them out! I promise you will not be disappointed! If you are I will gladly pay for your meal! 😁

Concept of the place is nice: little diner inside a train. Staff is very friendly. Unfortunately the quality of food just does not match the price. I ordered a fried chicken sandwhich with a side of fried pickles, and a chocolate shake. Chicken sandwhich came with two cold and dry chicken tenders. Not freshly made. The whole sandwhich was just room temperature. Fried pickles were nothing special. I was disappointed to look at the menu again to check the price of the sandwhich. Chocolate shake was pretty good, but served in a fairly small glass. Total for my half eaten lunch was almost $25. This is my 3rd time eating here, and probably my last, as I have never been impressed with the food. Mediocre fried foods at best.
