Food and service could not have been better. We were celebrating my wife's half century birthday. Officially very vintage .. The seafood tower was amazing. We asked to swap clams to oysters. Plenty of lobster, crab, and shrimp to share. The aged steaks were just as good as the top rated NYC steak houses. Without the traffic and parking hassle. Glad we finally tried it out, we'll definitely be back.

My work friends and I celebrated our last day of school last evening at Rails and we were blown away! We started off at the speak easy and were greeted by our wonderful waitress, Carolynn! Her upbeat, personable (yet professional) personality added to our experience! The entire establishment makes you feel like you are important because they take your needs into consideration. The food was fresh & quite incredible. Specifically the short rib gnocchis and the clams! We were given a special tour of the "cave" room and once again... we were blown away! We ended our night on the second level, where we sat outside and sipped our delicious drinks! I highly recommend Rails for a date night, a little pick me up or even an event-- you can't go wrong!

Four of us went there on a Saturday night. We were upstairs and stopped at the bar for a cocktails. Beautiful place, spacious and well appointed. I'm a bar guy and me and the missus enjoy, when it's just the two of eating and drinking at the bar. The service was not great, ma6be it is too big for two to handle. You'd think we'd get are drinks together, but alas 5hat was not happening. We sat for dinner in a fine room, and our server, I think she as Juliet, was excellent. She's so young yet she's been working there for four years. Compan6 was great, so it certainly helps the entire experience. As for the food, we had the barista and bacon to start, we shared the salad and wedge next ( needed more bacon in the wedge). For dinner we had 3 steaks, the fillet, she loved it, the New York strip and the peppercorn rib eye. My wife had 5h3 salmon. All was very good 4 stars. I rate everything against in NY Peter Lugers and in NJ River Palm in Edgewater. This is a step below. Pricing is pretty reasonable for a steak house. Sorry if I'm a NY food snob

Came for a brunch private event on the second floor and everything was wonderful. The brunch options are pretty varied, but the winners for everyone by far were the short rib Mac and cheese and the butter scotch French toast bites. Big fans! Staff was friendly, accommodating, and fast! Great place to host an event.

The ambience, service a d food were equally amazing. Loved how the Caesar came with anchovy filets on the side. All our steaks were superb -- especially the Tomahawk that three of us shared.

If you want steak done right, then look no further than Rails Steakhouse in Towaco, NJ. We've been here numerous times and never had a bad meal. In fact, I would venture to say that Rails Steakhouse is one of the best steakhouses I've ever been to. We split the 46oz steak for two; which is totally worth it and even had plenty to bring home. While the prices are higher than most other establishments, you're paying for a great foodie experience, wonderful staff service, pristine & clean facility, and a fun atmosphere for a great night out. Don't forget to check out the speakeasy for an extra bit of fun. The mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, and creamed spinach side dishes are out of this world and a perfect combination for your dinner. Don't forget to leave room for their seven layer chocolate cake which is literally larger than my head. Yum!

Beautiful steakhouse with attentive staff. Our server did change before we were able to place our orders. Maybe shift change? The ribeye I ordered was good, but the dessert was outstanding. Let's start and end there, the peach bread pudding delightfully danced on my tastebuds. It had the perfect consistency, not mushy but far from dry. If we did not already close down the restaurant, I would have ordered two to go. One to share and one to keep the party going for myself. I ordered the Brussels sprouts as my appetizer which was not much of a hit. It was initially burnt beyond the point of charred. When the new batch hit the table, they had a very tough texture, almost raw. Regardless, we sent it back for good. The dessert as well as our server's personality and overall professionalism definitely saved the night. I truly believe this restaurant deserves more than three stars, hence the four given, and look forward to returning to give it another shot.

I went last week for their annual Silver Oak wine dinner. It was held downstairs in the private wine room and a lovely ambience. We started about half an hour late because they were waiting on others and service was slow at the beginning but it picked after the first course. All the wines and food tasted fantastic although I noticed a significant difference in portion sizes just in the few people around me and also some menus items were not as stated which was disappointing. Overall it was a very nice night and would do it again.

I've been visiting Rails Steakhouse for years and recently stopped in for a friend's birthday dinner on a Saturday evening at 8:30pm. The restaurant was packed and the vibe was great. There are three levels to this romantic steakhouse nestled in Towaco just next door to the train station. Keep in mind, on the weekends, they usually have complimentary valet service, which is nice. Upon entry, you're greeted by their friendly hostess and the main level of the restaurant, with a bar on the side. The upstairs level is another dining area with bar and that's where we were seated. The lower level of this restaurant and their speakeasy, Thirty3, is the best part part about this place; check out my review on this MUST visit well kept secret in NJ. Our party of 12 ordered some drinks by the bar while we waited for our table. We were then seated and promptly brought over menus. The general manager Mike, came over to greet us and apologized for the long wait and as a courtesy offered us complimentary pizzas. I thought this was a nice touch, and made us all feel valued as guests. Our server was equally as accommodating and patient with our entire party, offering his recommendations and thoughts on the menu items. None of which disappointed. I ordered a bottle of wine which wasn't terribly priced and quite delicious as it paired nicely with the lamb chops that I ordered for dinner. Everyone else at the table seemed very pleased with their entrees as there was a moment of complete silence as everyone enjoyed their meal LOL...(usually a good sign). At the end of the meal, the staff came out with assorted desserts and sang well wishes to the birthday boy. Overall, if you are looking for a dining option for a special occasion, date night or a delicious meal, Rails Steakhouse is a MUST try. Conveniently located with good service, romantic vibe and delicious bites, you won't be disappointed. Tip: If you have time to kill before or after your dinner, please don't miss out on visiting their cozy speakeasy, Thirty3, on the ground level, thank me later!!!
