    Arrived for Sunday brunch 15 minutes before the end of time and was told they ran out of brunch food. After this point the server ignored us after getting us drinks and food. Never refilled our drinks once and disappeared from the floor. There were only a few other people in the restaurant but you could tell he checked out completely. Finding good service post covid times still proves impossible at least in Omaha.

    Usually Modern Railcar checks all the boxes. Last night, the restaurant was totally off in every way. Service was friendly but poor. Cocktails were awful...glass brimming with ice and poor quality of what an old fashioned should be. Ribs dry. Hardly any fries with sandwiches. No appropriate silverware. Brussel sprouts not the best. It was a sorry experience.

    Enjoyed a last-minute lunch here with my kids. Service was top-notch by a very attentive waiter. Food was pretty good, although a bit over-salted on some of the sides. Kids Menu portions were plentiful. Would definitely return - hope to try the brunch on our next visit.

    They were very busy and possibly short staffed as we didn’t see our server except to order and he delivered our drinks and then gave us our bill at then end. We requested more water a couple of times but no one brought any. The food was delicious and the many dishes that sounded so good- were hard to choose from. We ordered the chicken prosciutto, gnocchi vodka with chicken and bison meatloaf and each of thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

    Valentine's dinner...Had the prime rib and crab encrusted trout. Entrée were absolutely delicious! Prime rib was so tender, it hardly took a knife to cut and was really flavorful. The trout was mouth watering delicious...so many flavors from the flaky fish to the crab layer. Nice bottle of wine and caramel chocolate cheesecake to end the night. Thanks for a fun night out, Railcar!

    While the service was great, the food left something to be desired. I tried the gnocchi vodka tonight and my husband had the shrimp diablo.. both of us felt the flavor was off. Not so much we couldn't eat the food but for the price I feel it just wasn't that fabulous.

    Had a wonderful Valentine’s Day meal. Food and drinks were delicious and people were friendly. Definitely recommend the salmon and the ribeye steak! Start it off with a Caesar or small wedge salad.

    We went for the advertised happy hour but they didn’t have it this weekend due to Valentine’s Day. Disappointing.
