Cute little restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Very nice and friendly staff. Small bar available. You’re given bread with olive oil and seasoning while waiting for your food. The olive oil overwhelmed the spices. The spanikopita was good. The pasta, pesto, portobello with shrimp dish was ok. Some of the shrimp were cold. The oso buco was ok at best. The mashed potatoes were the best part of the dish. The pork was overdone but the gravy saved it.

Great atmosphere, great service, but the food just didn’t match when it came to the entrees. Appetizer of spanikopita was outstanding. Mains seemed almost reheated via heat lamps.

We are staying at their wonderful “sleepy side of rails” bnb. We were able to walk over and have drinks at Rails upon our arrival. They have such a well curated menu of food and drinks. My husband had a beer and I indulged in a glass of local Rose and unsweetened iced tea. Kai provided such thoughtful service to us and our toddler. Down to the kids menu and perfect lemonade for our young traveller. We loved every interaction with each of the staff. Highly recommend!

You MUST stop by and eat at this place in Kerrville. We followed our sweet server’s suggestion and got the wild mushroom quesadillas with tenderloin and they were to die for. The tenderloin melted in your mouth (had ours cooked medium), and the flavorful sauce took the dish to another level. It was a beautiful spring day, so we sat outside in the courtyard. Our experience couldn’t have been better.

David, Ella, Emma and I ate dinner at Rails tonight. The old railroad depot is beautifully restored and decorated eclecticly. Ella ordered Allen’s Awesome Spaghetti. Emma ordered Marissa’s Magical Cheese Pizza. I chose osso bucco, and David picked filet of salmon with sautéed shrimp. The food was delicious! The dining room was busy and clean. The restrooms were clean and well-stocked. Recommended!

Price point caught us a little off guard at first; not terribly expensive but more than we had anticipated. That being said, it was absolutely worth it. Everything was fantastic and the flavors were great. The grilled quail salad with apple pico and a fruit vinaigrette was unlike anything I’ve tasted before. The orzo in my wife’s dish was cooked perfectly. The alcohol infused cakes were delectable. Definitely a worthwhile meal.

The food was delicious. Service was outstanding. We started with Spanikopita, which was excellent, followed by the Honey Turkey Peninis. The cake was decadent. I highly recommend it.

I recommend going here. Elegance in a small town. It is a little restaurant with wonderful history and ambiance. Its atmosphere is warm and relaxing. Outside seating on the patio with shade and umbrellas is a nice option. The food is high but very good. One can always go there for the wonderful homemade desserts to enjoy the experience of such a hidden gem.

First off our server, Journey, was amazing! Great knowledge and energy. They good was really good and the weather was perfect for sitting outside for a late lunch/early dinner. Cool train depot decor and vibe. We will be back and I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner when in Kerrville.

We ordered a bottle of wine and our meal at the same time. Wine came and before we could take 2 sips, the food was there, within 5 minutes. No way they could grill chicken breast and Salmon in 5 minutes if its fresh. It was warm not hot so obviously microwaved. Dining out should not be rushed. Food was ok but not great. Eating out should not be a fast food experience. Luckily could take the 1/2 bottle of wine home. Total from sit down to walking out 15 minutes .
