Off the Rail: Restaurant Review
Several family members and I enjoyed a fantastic breakfast at Off the Rail during my recent stay in Elkhart Lake for my niece’s wedding. By the way, she was absolutely stunning, and I couldn’t be happier with the young man, Josh, who has now joined our extended family. This cozy, train-themed café is open for both breakfast and lunch, and we couldn’t resist sampling a variety of their mouthwatering breakfast sandwiches. I opted for the Flying Scotsman Bagel, which came loaded with smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, onion, and cucumber—a delightful combination that hit all the right notes.
The family favorite was the McRail, featuring scrambled egg, ham, and Vern’s sharp cheddar on a perfectly toasted English muffin. Another standout was the Commuter, a panini made with scrambled egg, bacon, and Vern’s sharp cheddar on sourdough bread. We couldn’t get over how incredible the Wisconsin cheddar was on both sandwiches—it added a rich, creamy flavor that truly elevated the experience.
What made it even better was that my daughter, Veronica, could enjoy her sandwich gluten-free, as Off the Rail offers gluten-free options for all of its creations. The service was fast and efficient—after placing our order and receiving a number, we chose our spot to dine. Whether you sit indoors, outside, or take your order to go, Off the Rail is a must-visit in Elkhart Lake for a delicious, locally sourced breakfast or lunch!” And seeing we liked it so much, we repeated the experience over the weekend; I’d say I give it 5 stars for a yummy breakfast experience.
