Bob is awesome. The food is excellent. The history in his train cars is most impressive. You have to stop here when you visit Sarasota. My family and I are from Baltimore. This is a great place to visit????????????????????
Off the beaten track, Bob the host is very welcoming. The food is ok, like you make it in your.own kitchen, very clean and good ambience. The train cars are cute and full of history. Lots of potential here and an improved menu, perhaps a chef, and tidying of the area would.make this a gem
Awesome experience. My wife surprised me on Father’s Day and took me there for brunch. Food was excellent. Bob was very entertaining. His stories were great. He talks fast so pay attention. You won’t regret it. The outside is nothing to write home about but you step inside it’s amazing. Worth our one hour drive to get there. We will be back.
Took my father (2nd generation circus, 30’s-50’s circa) to enjoy the romance of eating in a restored railroad car. Food and staff were wonderful. Listened to Bobs view of the history of circus as told through his collection of historic pictures and listened to his many stories about trains and the circus. Mainly Hollywood collection, clowns and some performers. We offered more pictures of performers and history but he didn’t seem very interested. Left with full bellies but the feeling he’s more of a fan, exploiting it for profit and wanting to share his history rather than the beauty and history of the CIRCUS
Delicious food! Definitely recommend the grilled brie and berry sandwich with homemade chips. The staff were extremely nice and welcoming. The place has a nice old timey and rustic vibe, made especially cool by the fact you are eating on a real and historic train. Lots of interesting pictures and circus history. Definitely come try this place if you are looking for something new.
