| - Decent coffee and brunch place to head to on the weekend and surprisingly not as busy as one would believe, considering it's near Smash and Alchemy..
With that said I came here on a Sunday afternoon around 12:30pm and it wasn't busy considering we were seated instantly and found a parking space easily minutes prior.
I agree with Jennifer K., in that this place has a lot of potential, I mean the staff are attentive and helpful; the food is okay, and the vicinity, clean. The employee who made my matcha latte came back to ask me how it was and if I wanted it sweeter she would add more syrup or sugar which I thought was considerate.
All their decor made sense with the name of their business which is a big thing to me - nothing more confusing when a restaurant ties in all these different bipolar elements that don't tie in or match its core idea. Their 'platform' message details a railroad mural, an old-school bell atop your table to ask for service - didn't use it though, wall art, knick knacks on a library shelf that again tie in with the whole train/railroad system theme, etc.
I felt the food took a substantial amount of wait time but maybe it was made from scratch? Anyway, I ordered the platform sandwich sans pickles and tomatoes with the curly fries. I found the waffle wasn't crispy enough and was a bit too soft for my liking when it comes to biting into a chicken sandwich. The fact that the waffle was soft made everything have somewhat of the same texture, except for the fries.
I believe this place is just okay, and find that there are other better brunch places in the area or not too far from here.
