Found The Rail by accident when the TV's at Harry Buffalo were not showing NCAA basketball Saturday night. Did a search for sports bars and the Rail came up. Interesting they don't come up when hamburger restaurants are searched. Traveling on business and came back the following day.
They pride themselves on Ohio sourced. Turns out Ohio meat and beer are pretty darn good. Mike, the server and bartender was excellent; extremely knowledgable, and fun. Samples are available free before you commit to a pint of beer. Mike will hone into your taste and you'll order a pint after your first or second taster.
This is a burger bar and the burgers are very good and tasty. Four of 5 of us ordered medium rare and one medium well, (not really a burger guy) Call me a traditionalist, I like mine with cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato. On Yelpers recommendation got the bacon and certainly glad I did. GET THE BACON! Went out on the limb and went crazy and oreered a side of Chipolte Mayo. The bun was buttered and toasted and held up to the meat. The star gets knocked off for consistency. The 4 medium rare burgers were all a different temperature ranging from 125 to 138 judging by color. Next time I'll order 125. We will go back this week to try the original Rail at the Summit Mall.
Onion rings and frys were OK not great The wedge salad was excellent. A half head of iceberg with bacon and blue cheese. Very fresh, cold, and crunchy.
Finished with a Brandy Alexander milkshake with Ohio Ice Cream. Mike apologized he couldn't garnish with fresh ground nutmeg. The combination dessert-after dinner drink was the perfect ending.
