🚂🌮 TACO TUESDAY & BIG BOY ALERT! 🌮🚂

If you’ve ever wanted to watch something bigger than your appetite roll through town, today’s your day!

The legendary Big Boy steam engine is scheduled to cross the Nelson tracks after departing Sterling around 2 PM. If you hear a whistle and suddenly feel the urge to eat tacos… that’s just good planning. 😎

Then at 4 PM, roll into The Railside for:

🌮 Tacos
🥙 Tostadas
🧀 Nachos
🥗 Taco Salads

Because after watching a train pull thousands of tons, the least you can do is pull up a chair and let us handle dinner.

Dad Joke Warning:
What did the taco say to the train?
“Lettuce taco ‘bout how fast you’re moving!” 🌮🚂

Patio is open, drinks are cold, and unlike Big Boy, our tacos don’t need coal to keep running.

🎤 Don’t forget! Karaoke is back this Friday at 7 PM! Whether you sing like a country star or a train brake squealing into the station, we want to hear it!

🚂🌮 Come for the train, stay for the tacos, and come back Friday for the karaoke! 🍻🎤

🐟 Walleye
🐟 Bluegill
🐟 Catfish nuggets

Plus:
🥔 Homemade potato salad

🍗 Chicken Thursday is cluckin’ awesome! 🍝

Tonight’s special:
• 1/2 Fried Chicken
• Family Size Spaghetti

Kitchen’s open until 8:45 PM, so there’s still plenty of time to let someone else do the cooking while you “supervise.” 😎

Grab lunch or dinner on the patio and enjoy this perfect weather before your lawn starts sending passive aggressive reminders. 🌞🌿

Come hungry… leave happier than a chicken that crossed the road and found spaghetti on the other side. 🍗🍝

🍗🔥 It’s WING WEDNESDAY at the Railside! 🔥🍗

Bone-in, boneless, or naked… we don’t judge your wing lifestyle here. 😎

Tonight’s flavor showdown:
🌶️ Three Pepper Fire — for people who think “mild” is a personality flaw
🫐 Blackberry Dijon — sweet, tangy, and fancier than your cousin’s wedding appetizer
🤯 OR… mix the two together and confuse your taste buds in the BEST possible way.

Come hungry, bring friends, and remember:
Eating wings counts as arm day if you work hard enough at it. 💪🍗

Cold drinks, hot wings, and zero regrets waiting for you tonight!

🌮🎉 It’s Taco Tuesday at the Railside!

Why did the taco go to therapy?
Because it was falling apart under pressure… unlike our tacos. Those are holding it together BEAUTIFULLY. 😎🌮

🔥 Tonight’s Specials:
• Fried beef tacos (corn or flour)
• Loaded nachos
• Taco salad
• Tostadas
• Rice & beans
• Chips & cheese

🍺 Drink Specials:

☀️ Patio is OPEN — perfect weather to eat tacos outdoors and pretend Tuesday is basically the weekend.

⏰ Serving from 4–8 PM or until we run out!

Come hungry… leave saying, “I probably shouldn’t have ordered that extra taco.” (But deep down knowing you made the right decision.) 🌮🍻

Saturday Surf & Turf is calling your name! 🦐🥩

Cold drinks? ✔️
Homemade potato salad? ✔️
Patio weather? ✔️
Excuse to avoid cooking dishes at home? DOUBLE ✔️✔️

Come grab a plate before someone in your family says, “We have food at home.” Yeah… but do you have surf & turf at home? 🤔

And don’t forget — BREAKFAST starts tomorrow at 9am! 🍳🥓
Bloody Mary bar, biscuits & gravy, breakfast burritos, pancakes and more! Basically the kind of breakfast that makes you forgive your alarm clock

🎣 It’s FISH FRIDAY at the Railside!

Why did the fish blush?
Because it saw the patio seating… and realized it was totally out of its “school.” 😎🐟

Tonight’s lineup:
🐟 Catfish
🐟 Walleye
🐟 Bluegill
🐟 Catfish Nuggets

Plus everyone’s favorite homemade potato salad! 🥔❤️

Grab a cold drink, soak up the patio weather, and let us handle dinner while you pretend you “were just stopping in for one.” 🍻

Kitchen’s hot, fish is crispy, and the only thing getting battered more than the fish is Dad’s joke collection. 🎣🤣
