The Rail Line Diner

I just received my dinner from the Rail Line. The website said that the Monday night special was chicken pot pie @ $ 16.95, and included soup or salad. When I got the order, the price was $ 21.95 ($ 23.90 with tax). Who would order a chicken pot pie for $ 22? Terrible. Never order from this clip joint.

Good omelet, good pancakes. My boyfriend ordered the Nutella pancakes– they brought him a stack of pancakes with a huge bowl of Nutella.

The cleanest, highest quality diner in Chelsea. The customer service is stupendous and the food is perfect.
Ive eaten the pancakes, the eggs and the bacon are always cooked to perfection.
Even as a delivery, everything is fresh. You won’t be disappointed.

Excellent burgers, tuna salad and egg salad. Not so sure of the deserts. A black-​and-​white cookie was quite stale. Service is very good. Great place for a quick bite if you are going to the Tribeca film Festival.

Probably one of the cleanest diners I’ve been to. It feels more modern than your typical diner, but still has the right atmosphere. The space is really big, I can’t imagine it ever being packed.
Having breakfast for dinner, I got a breakfast burrito with guac. Sadly, you can only pick one from each category (meat, cheese, veggie), but it still comes out to be a good size. They even press it so it’s nice and toasty when served. My friend got the pancakes deluxe or something like that — 3 fluffy pancakes with a plate of eggs, bacon, sausage.
As the night went on, the waiter refilling water got sloppier and sloppier. At one point it spilled on our food. Other than that, no complaints about service.
When you pay your bill, they offer you free cookies from the cookie jar! Sadly I didn’t take one since I was on a low sugar diet, next time though! The mints were a good alternative.

This place is the Ashford & Simpson of diners because it’s solid… solid as a rock!
My buddy and fellow Unilocaler Jason M. and I came here after scoping out a couple of beer spots and we had a very good experience. Service was fast and friendly. He had an omelet (for dinner! WTF?) and I ordered the gyro platter which came with fries and a salad. It was good, but a lot of food so I took the salad home. We also had pie… him some type of tiramisu pie/​cake and me a chocolate cream. They were fine, but not exceptional.
One weird thing, the waiter told me repeatedly that the tzatziki sauce that was served in a plastic container was for the gyro and that the bottles of oil and vinegar were for the salad. He literally told me that three time. I don’t know if I just look like I’ve never had a salad before, but he was very insistent on telling me that. But one day, I might just put oil and vinegar on my gyro for the hell of it, to see why he was so adamant about me NOT doing it.
Anyway, the food was good, service was good, place was clean and the soap in the bathroom had a pleasant fragrance, so I give this four stars.

The nachos here are AMAZING. I am a nacho aficionado and I come here specifically for the nachos deluxe. So good.

I order delivery from here frequently, usually for breakfast. The Egg & cheese sandwiches are great and I have asked for scrambled eggs (custom) and they have nailed it ³⁄₃ times. I also really like the chicken soup. The cilantro salad is very good as well. The house salad dressing is delicious. I usually dont order complicated dishes from these guys but this is my go to delivery diner spot in Chelsea. Delivery is usually very fast.

I’ve been going to this place since I was young. The name has changed but the food remains the same, very good! Bacon cheeseburger, chicken parm n different cuts of steak are great! This place is vey spacious, you’ll never have a problem finding a place to sit.

Love this place because of their dedication. Food is delicious, everyone is super kind. I have been coming back with my friends and business partners, never failed to impress them. I am very proud of this guys. No wonder why this guys are running the diner at here more than 20 years.

I used to go to Rail Line a lot but not sure what happened. They raised the prices by like 50% and decreased service by 75%. After having to ask for water 4 times, utensils 2 times and the check 3 times (all in one visit) is probably why I haven’t been back.

Had Silver Dollar pancakes with eggs and ham this morning. Incredibly fast service and the food was delicious! Be warned though, it’s a large stack of pancakes… come with a big appetite.

In the early hours one morning, I stumbled in tired and was met by a team of similarly tired waiters congregating in a corner. Not the warmest atmosphere, but no matter, because I sampled my first ever slice of Banana Cream Pie. I have only ever had it once since because I don’t wish to destroy the memory of its perfection. Heaven on a plate.

Depressing place. Waitress (in a bad mood) kept on asking every other minute what we wanted to order. Like it is easy to browse a 20 pages menu cramped 100 different options in each. Would never ever go back there.

This has often been my go to after the club… over 5yrs and im not disappointed. When i go to a dinner i only order breakfast. DONT you all do the same? Who orders any of that other crap lol long story SHORT… its a diner its good its clean and the food is consistent

It’s a pretty penny but you get a good amount of food and its quality. Servers are very accommodating, décor gives a clean feel to the experience. Give it a try!

Stopped by for breakfast recently. The diner itself is very clean and has several tv’s around the counter. Service was top notch. Coffee was being served almost before I sat down. Can’t beat that. The coffee was good and I really liked the orange mug and dish they are served in. A little color in your dishware never hurt anyone. The challah french toast was fresh and excellent. I’m a big fan of giving me the little non-​packaged syruo to pour over my breakfast. The egss were cooked perfectly and even my english muffin was extra good. I would comeback often if possible.

If you are looking for the worst hamburger in NYC, the rail line is your place.
Service here is always friendly.
Just to much $ for what you get.

I went here today for post work quick dinner. I had amazing service. I had a delicious hot cocoa and fresh toast with fresh berries. It’s a nice large space in Chelsea. I’ll definitely be returning. I love diners ! And good service is always appreciated.

I am not a big fan of diners so usually if I go it’s just to grab coffee alone or an inexpensive meal on the way to work.
However this place is cleaner and has a more upscale feel than most I’ve been too.
The staff also dress nice (even the busboys wore ties) and overall were friendly and attentive as well. The food here I have had was average to better than average.
A good Chelsea spot especially for late night food or breakfeast/​lunch.
