Had an early Drs appointment this morning! I always use that as an excuse to treat myself to breakfast at the Railway afterwards. Love this place, it's small and unsuspecting and has been there for many years. When I remind people of it, they are like "Oh yah, but how is it compared to......(Name of some subpar chain) I am here to tell everyone!!! YES!!! It is the best breakfast in Rochester, made to order. Quality fresh ingredients. Our server was Jenna today! She was very nice, and completely on point. My husband told her he likes his milk when he is done with his meal. What he really likes to do, is have it nice and cold,, when he takes his last bite. Wholley Molley! It's like she read his mind. As soon as her asked me to flag her down. BAM! Glass of milk on the table. That was it for him. Now he is hooked. I have never had a slimy egg, I order them poached and they are always perfect. I love the Country Benny. It's an English muffin, with sausage patty on top of each piece of muffin. Topped with country gravy, with fried potatoes, extra crispy on the side. Yummo! My husband who is the pickiest eater, has also never had a bad meal. His favorite is 2 eggs over easy, with bacon, toast and hash browns. Place is very clean, and filled with regulars. But it is not crazy with a line out the door like Jim's on Main. Simple, delicious, caring food, that tastes like it's made with love. Their coffee is always delicious. The only cons are a small parking lot, that can be difficult to maneuver, and I'm not sure they have any heat or air conditioning. I usually feel a little chilled in the winter or hot in the summer. But Idk ‍ it could be menopause lol

Another great breakfast spot! Got a decent amount of food for the price and it all was cooked perfectly. We ordered a pumpkin milkshake which tasted great! I will be coming back to try lunch and dinner options!

Another 5 star diner in Rochester,NY. Food is served hot and too order, and customizable without frustrations. Food is flavorful, cute ambiance, and family friendly,solo friendly, or even perfect for a first date. Tipping my hat to a well run favorite breakfast/linch/coffee/dessert spot. Always feels like home, never a hassle.

Good food, old school vibe, prompt service. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs and everything was cooked well and tasted good. Also, the prices are super reasonable!

Food, service, remaining post-Christmas decorations diner ambience were all great. Met a friend for breakfast at 10:00 and had to park down the street, as the parking lot was full. Just beat the late morning rush hour. I had a western frittata and my friend got one of the 25 different omelets. We both enjoyed our food and will be back for the food and friendly service. We also want to make sure we return next Christmas as they only had half their decorations left up and what was there was fun and unique. We heard it was really decked out prior to the new year. Can't wait to go back to this unassuming diner with much more room inside for people than the parking lot had for cars.

Where has this frittata been my whole life? I'm telling you. Order this. Meat lovers frittata, extra cheese, add jalapeños or banana peppers. Easiest 5 star of my life.

Nice and quiet place off in the cut. Great place to have breakfast. They served cheese grits that tasted like home. Staff were very pleasant. They made me feel like I was being served at their home.

Tasty Kid friendly Quick service Decent prices for families Accommodates large groups We were looking for a new place to eat in between running errands. It was easy to find on W. Ridge and right next to the railroad tracks. They have a parking lot and an adjacent street for overflow, but I can imagine it gets packed quickly for Sunday breakfast. Our waitress was super friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. The cheesy grits were creamy goodness! The kids pancakes shaped like Mickey's head were fun for the kids. Batter is homemade and delish that we ordered a regular order for us adults during our meal to share. Great find on Yelp!
