About
I have a great appreciation for this establishment. The cuisine is outstanding and all dishes are prepared in the traditional, homemade style of classic American country cooking. There is an extensive menu to choose from, ensuring that every order will be nothing short of delightful. The desserts are especially noteworthy as they are all handcrafted and tremendously satisfying - so much so that one may even be tempted to indulge in them before enjoying the main course.
Why you should go
- Enjoy amazing homemade BBQ sauce and delicious dishes like brisket, chicken livers, and Scotch Eggs
- Experience large portions of good old down-home country food with standout dishes like corn pudding
- Savor unique desserts such as the Blueberry biscuit in a charming setting with antique train items on display

We met up with some friends to wander the ghost town in Pamplin & walk some of the High Bridge trail and stumbled upon the Rail Yard.I had the vegetarian combination with butter beans, mac-n-cheese, corn pudding and some baked apples.The rest of the table opted for BBQ sandwiches as well as some sides. The meat eaters said the BBQ sandwiches were great and they came with an assortment of sauces.The mac-n-cheese was creamy, cheesy and with shell pasta (there is an elbow shortage I am told), both of us that ordered it enjoyed it.We all agreed the corn pudding was the star of the meal.I decided to order a Blueberry biscuit. The biscuit itself was amazing. The perfect balance of sweetness and moisture. The icing was lacking but maybe it was just off that day.Service was great. Price was great. Food was great.Oh, and the nerd in us really dug the antique train items on display. Nice addition of Americana flair. Well done.
Been here a few times first few amazing this time service sucked ordered breakfast took almost 40 minutes to get it when we did kids eggs were cold. Paying took another 25 minutes or so just to go. They either need to put a wait list in place or hire some more help. No one helps each other no team work at all. Will not return!
