Food was amazing and customer service was awesome. Definitely a place to go.

Good food hometown diner/cafe

Always a good time. Great food. Great service with a smile.

I have to say I never been disappointed of course when it gets busy Services a little bit slower but that just tells you a lot of people love the place

Great food! Super busy place! Be prepared tio wait, but worth it!

An amazing place to have breakfast or lunch. The pancakes were absolutely delicious and the service was very kind. Definitely my go to spot.

Wonderful place, home baked English muffins, great pancakes. Eggs ,bacon, ham, homemade muffins. Generous portions.Definitely will be back . Delicious food. Great service!

This little restaurant never disappoints. Owner roasts her own turkey and chicken for Thursday's hot turkey sandwiches and chicken and biscuits. Great variety, good prices.

Swinging by for a quick breakfast. Portion is large but in a good way. The owner couple is very kind, explaining things on the menu. Reasonable price and good food. 👍

We always look for breakfast places while we travel. This little gem was amazing, with delicious food all the way around, reminded by boyfriend of his grandma's home cooking

Never had a bad meal there. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. I especially love the gluten free options that other restaurants don't offer.

My brother and I have been going here for breakfast all summer. Best food in the area. All homemade. Very pleasant staff.

Myself and my partner had an absolutely amazing breakfast with phenomenal service. The staff and food are exemplary as always .😋 🥞🧇🥓🍳🍮☕❤

Best homemade food ever. The service is the best. Family owned. My favorite place to eat. Love it there.

The Breakfast Was Amazing, The Staff Was Super Friendly, And The Atmosphere Was Wonderful! Highly Recommended. Little Amazing Cafe For Sure

Quaint breakfast diner. Food great, service great, we were seated and served quickly. Where else can you have breakfast then a piece of pie afterwards 🤗

Great place to eat !! Food is great and the staff is awesome.

Great local restaurant that hasn't lost a beat even through the transfer of ownership! Still the place to go in the Johnstown area!

Absolutely Delicious food. Great atmosphere. Worth the wait. Great service.

Fantastic "small town" diner. Very friendly staff. Excellent food! Breakfast was fast and yummy. Going back tomorrow!

Friendly service, good food. Love their english muffins. Will be back

Takeout from here was delicious! Super fresh! We got the burger and grilled chicken salad! Will definitely order again!

I have never had homemade hash and an english muffin before and it was amazing! Best breakfast I've ever ate!

The food was delicious & the staff was friendly & efficient! Prices were definitely fair. Lots of homemade foods 😊

The people there are so friendly. The food excellent. The best pancakes in the area.

Our family loves to head here for a reasonably priced and delicious breakfast. If you like corn beef hash, that is a must to try.

Love this cafe. Food is home cooked and wonderful. The lovely waitresses take good care of you.

Great food. Friendly service. Homemade corned beef hash is fantastic. Homemade english muffins are great!

Breakfast was delicious. Homemade English muffins were sooo good. Service was also good. Would recommend to all.

The food was excellent. Staff was friendly, personable and prompt, felt like a regular the first time here.

Just a GREAT place to get breakfast !! Can't go wrong with homemade raisin bread!! Fast & friendly - it's like going home for Sunday brunch !!

The best omelette I have ever had. Friendly staff and great service. Can’t wait to go back.

The place is tops on my list for either breakfast or lunch, the homemade cornedbeef hash is the best I had anywhere.

This a great local breakfast place. The people are absolutely great. Homemade bread and homemade corned beef hash! The hash is excellent!!

Tammy and the other waitress were very attentive. The food was ample and tasty.

What a delightful place for a delicious breakfast. We were able to sit outside on the deck for our visit. Everything was so nice. Service great, asparagus omelette right on the money as was the homemade English muffin. Husband's cinnamon swirl french toast and oatmeal also right on! Great place - so glad we found it.

Great hometown Cafe. Nice little place with homemade comfort food! Food came hot and definitely over filled the plate. Service was fast and efficient. She was welcoming and kind. When in the area if you're looking for a quick hot meal, Railside Cafe is the place to go. Located in a residential area down a not so busy street. House was converted into the cafe. Extremely quant and comfortable.

I stopped for a late breakfast, easily one of the best breakfast places I’ve been to. Food was excellent and the service was great.I would highly recommend and I will visit again.

Its difficult to find someplace with a good breakfast nowadays! I worked in a diner serving eggs and toast on hand written tickets for the kitchen and the register from 2002-later in life. This place did everything perfectly. The home fries were the top three, possibly the best I've ever had. Perfectly soft in the middle with reddish brown crispness on the outside. The eggs were actual eggs not box of eggs. The rye toast was perfect. The bacon was plentiful and crisp to perfection. We had an egg sandwich with sausage on a home made English muffin. Perfection. We tried a piece of cinnamon swirl french toast which was on special, perfect sweetness with everything else. The coffee was HOT and came around often. Small Town, family owned places like this are dissapearing! Everyone we talked to was pleasant and helpful. So happy to have found a place in Johnstown! We will be back soon and can't wait to try the lunch!

Always has specials , a in your face friendly staff . Small parking lot in back but also has street parking

Glad I googled a place to eat, first time visitors and it won't be our last. As others have mentioned the homemade hash and English muffins are great. Add in a cool little atmosphere with great comfort food breakfast and you have a winner

We deliver to them. Wonderful people. Beautiful place. My wife and I can't wait until warm weather, they have a beautiful big outside deck for dining. Very clean. parking lot always full. You must visit. Wonderful all around.

Cute hometown diner with a solid menu. What could have been a run of the mill diner experience was trumped by homemade raisin swirl French toast and English muffins. Great food all around!

Railside is a small family diner that is a delight to discover and a joy to return to. Tucked away in an old house in a residential area, it offers good food and exceptional service at value. The staff are beyond friendly and the care they take is obviously a result of pride in the business and a genuine concern for their patrons. Expect a home cooked style meal served in a casual environment. They are not a high volume kitchen, so if it's busy you may wait a while, but this shouldn't be seen as a negative. They'll take care of you while you wait, and it's worth it, the food is all made fresh to order. Particular favorites are the pancakes: buttermilk or buckwheat and served with real maple syrup, and the house made corn beef hash, with chunks of tender potatoes mixed perfectly with salty corned beef for a treat that is worlds beyond what you normally find in a small diner. The rice pudding is fantastic, and all of the pies are made in house. For a little break in the middle of a long day of antique hunting, it would be hard to find a better spot.

A gem! Delicious breakfast without pretensions. French toast, biscuits, homemade English muffins, and the BEST corned beef hash I’ve EVER had! The staff is always friendly and attentive, and it’s always clean as a whistle.

Great place!! We have visited for many years. The teachers from Staten Island. Up at caroga over 50 years. Continue the great serve!!!

This place is a true find. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The menu is varied and they offer great specials, including gluten free options. The food was fantastic. You can tell that they care about the food that they serve. We are adding the Railside Cafe to our regular dining out establishments.

A pleasant family restaurant, with tasty, not-too-salty food. Love the coffee, corned beef hash, and homemade Danish myself., but there is something for everybody. We like to get a takeout dinner, and heat it up for our supper. Always plenty, and always good.

Great place to get a delicious breakfast in Johnstown! Coffee is excellent and the food is delicious. Definitely try the cinnamon swirl french toast.

First time there, had a delicious homemade open-face turkey sandwich with homemade mashed potatoes and homemade gravy. Would recommend. Definitely will go back next time I'm in NY.

Great place for breakfast! Awesome food and service was on point. I would definately go there again. Prices was reasonable and servings were more than enough! Thanks to a wonderfull faimly that own and operate it !

No complaints - great food, nice staff, and easy to find parking. A little wait...but that's a good thing for the restaurant.

Absolutely wonderful meal, service and friendly. Will return often. Highly recommend.

Stopped in to Railside Cafe for the first time today for breakfast. The food was fresh, quick, and delicious. The service was great and friendly and the restaurant was extremely clean and took all safety precautions. I will definitely be back!

The BEST breakfast spot in the area. Clean lil place with friendly staff. If they have their homemade cornbeef and hash on the menu, order it!!! You will not be disappointed 😊

Best corned hash ever, most sumptuous omelettes that the cook customized for me. Don't skip the banana bread, its better than in the South. Exceptional breakfast!

Breakfast was DELICIOUS! Homemade Corn beef hash, homemade apple cinnamon raisin French toast, homemade biscuits and gravy! Real Maple syrup! Service is excellent and friendly. This place is a must!

Best breakfast I’ve had in a long time.

What a surprise to have such a great little diner. The homemade English muffins, swirl bread French toast that aren't too sweet and attentive staff make this a pleasant stop.

Friendly and dedicated staff. Fresh food, homemade baked goods add to the railroad theme and charm. Table service and counter service as well as take out. Delicious!

This is a nice quaint little family-owned restaurant. Food is excellent and the pricing is good. Rail side has become one of our staples for breakfast.

I rekamd 2 all , take brake from drivin , kid friendly , wil take time 2 talk about menu .

William Fredenburg

The only diner I've ever been to that understands the concept of "crispy home fries"

Bryan Knapp

Railside is such a great breakfast spot with fantastic food and service! The coffee was great, but the homemade English muffins and home fries were truly outstanding. The staff were so friendly and attentive, making for a really enjoyable morning. I can't wait to go back!

Santiago Carral O'Gorman

Railside Cafe is a gem spot for breakfast or brunch. I normally go Sat or Sunday. After 11:00 am is not so crowded. Great service, good coffee, great Corned beef hash and home made muffins They have also pastries and other bake goods made in house.

Ivan Hinkle

Great food and service with a clean and cozy atmosphere.

Oliver Tomchik

Was busy but still only had to wait around 25 minutes, the food made it well worth the wait. I have been many times and have never had an experience that wasn't great. Their eggs and omelets are great, the bacon is great, and so are the home fries. The gluten free pancakes are some of the best I've had and I have never experienced an allergic reaction from them. Very nice people aswell.

kenya Rodriguez

Very delicious food all round! Biscuits with gravy were great! Coconut pie with whip cream was perfect! Will definitely revisit again.

Geo Rohrs

That was a welcome surprise! This place just became my new GO-TO spot for breakfast. Had homemade corned beef hash with two perfectly cooked fried eggs. The hash was mostly meat and substantial. So delicious! Substituted GF banana bread for toast. That couldn't be GF! It was rich and moist and full of banana flavor. I walked in with a big appetite and walked out FULL. Very reasonable prices. Great porch seating. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Peaceful and delicious. What more could you want? This place is going to be around as long as they want. Thank you Railside Cafe.

Anson Exner

Very nice diner. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The decorations were quaint and the music was nice and mellow, 70s and 80s. Food was well priced and tasty, but the home fries were a bit undercooked. If I'm ever passing through town again I would stop here again in a heartbeat!

Misty Garafalo

Quaint little cafe in Johnstown Ny, a short wait time for a Sunday morning even though they were very busy. Very pleasant staff along with atmosphere. The food was delicious I was pleased to hear all their French toast bread is scratch made in house our daughter had today's special cinnamon swirl french toast It was tasty she said and it looked very good as well. Totally recommend ❤️

Good place to eat but we're there at least 15 minutes before waitresses noticed we were there.

Food is always great and the service is fantastic.

It was a good visit today, the service was good the food was pretty good in general it was pleasant. My only feeling is that the home fries could be more consistently cooked, I believe they were russet potatoes which means they were very dry I prefer a golden potato or are you Khan. Plus a Home Fry should be equally golden not just one lump of it.

Generally, this location is a good old-fashioned Diner experience. Built into an old house, two separate dining rooms are usually full to capacity on Sundays. The food is good. Sometimes you can expect a long wait for food, however.

Quality of food is very good. Limited seating and staff. Overall a good place to go sit down and eat if you are not in a rush.

Breakfast food is good. French toast is excellent. Small place that feels a bit cramped, but the service is good. Family friendly; they have an old train whistle kids can try 😁

Chrysalis S

Good food. Clean. Pleasant staff. Very homey and friendly.

Emily Petersen

This restaurant is adorably situated in a house... it seems unlikely but you really do eat in a couple of living rooms! The food was great and the service was awesome and super nice! Homemade english muffins here are delicious and fluffy too!

Peng Hsu

This is a local favorite breakfast brunch place. Not too many tables inside, bar seats and 5 tables. They also have another area of tables over the porch but it was not opened. Customers were almost local seniors except us. Food was good. The atmosphere was nice and peaceful. Very enjoyable...

Decent place food is good price ok staff ok ,they when I was there milk spilling on table with patron eating and 2 waitress ignored. Not impressed

TA Perry

Pretty bland little restaurant. Food was ok, nothing more than that. Apple cider was advertised as locally sourced, but eggs and cinnamon raisin bread were obviously not. Prices were a bit high for the setting and good quality. Not horrible, but we won't likely eat here again.

Was told I had extra whip cream, I didn’t get any at all, not coming back. Spent almost $50 for them to get my order wrong, if I had known they wouldn’t have gotten a 20% tip
