Look for THE PELICAN Cafe sign, Not Railside Diner. We found out the name changed in 2014, but since it was The Railside for many many years, many locals still call it that : )Classic Local Cafe experience in eating here. Good service, fresh cooked food, and lots of locals in and out which makes a fun atmosphere for travelers coming through. Server had a coloring book and crayons for our little one. Lots of booths and lots of deer heads : )

Wow!! The best place to eat is the most unassuming locally owned dining experience. Seriously have some of the best fries, very fresh! The burgers…. Where do I start??Whatever they do to these burgers WORKS!!! Tasty, fresh and your choice of big 1/3 or 1/2 lb. I ordered the Bubba burger and it was absolutely amazing. sorry about the picture , I could not wait to eat this masterpiece!!
