Customer experiences
I was hungry and so excited to try this restaurant out that's in a old train located inside a small rural mall located in Barrington. You will not believe how fast the food came out and how disappointing it tasted. I think the cheese curds were probably the most thing we did enjoy. My steak sandwich didn't mention that it was an open face steak sandwich. So when I asked the waitress so oh no they forgot your bread. What ever sauce they put in the steak actually was greasy and over power the taste of the meat. As hungry as I was I couldn't finish my meal. I am not saying don't waste your time going here I'm just saying for 79.00 you be better off finding somewhere else to get your taste buds filled.
Overall, a very great experience. The food and service was excellent. Miriam is fantastic as a host and server. Definitely try the French onion soup and broccoli crab bites. Try to dine in the train car. The atmosphere is unique and classic.
Fun place. Just an "old fashioned" restaurant. Our bartender was busy, but super nice. Made a great drink. Next time I will get the club sandwich. I watched as the servers delivered it to several tables and I realized that I missed the mark when I ordered the fish fry. It was good, but next time for sure I will get the club. My husband ordered the New England Clam Chowder and he is still raving about it. He also got the chopped salad. It was super good, but too big and too expensive. Hard to eat a leftover dressed salad. We will for sure be back!
Been wanting to try this place for over a year, finally made it in this past July and was pleased with this venue. Started out taking pics outside before heading in and a Latina lady who I presume was the hostess asked if I wanted a brief tour and I gladly agreed. I knew Chessie's was formerly a train station but had no idea it was more than a century old, amazing! She was very kind and informative and I was starving so couldn't wait to be seated. Unfortunately all window tables were reserved and if I wanted a window seat then it would have to be by the bar but I wanted to dine in the car so settled for a table at the very end, no biggie. The feeling of dining in this museum piece was definitely a memorable experience. Not too often my family and I do something like this so of course you gotta cherish the moment. Good food at reasonable prices bolstered by great service in a clean/sanitized landmark atmosphere. I could easily come back here, Barrington is lucky to have this remarkable piece of Americana.
