Railroad Station Bar and Grill
Reviews
I went there once. It was a long time ago. I remember I had my blue socks on. I always remember stuff better when I wear those blue socks. It was Thursday, and it was raining. I was driving through town on what was then 101 North. I was in my 56 Chevy Nomad wagon.. red.. Cherry. As it happened, (and yes, it did really happen.. and for all I know it still IS happening.. like some Bill Murry movie..) so anyway.. I ran out of gas in front of the famous old place. So naturally I went in to ask about gas stations. It was warm and the fireplace was popping from the big chunks of old California oak. I ordered a bottle of red wine that came from someplace in Asti.. and some of their homemade bread just out of the big brick oven in the back. I pulled my boots off and put my feet up in front of the fire.. I could feel the heat through those blue wool socks. I got them from my mother for Christmas in the 60s sometime. I sat there for an hour. I was drinking wine and eating that bread.. lounging.. lingering.. lost, really. Forgot about the gas. And started thinking about a woman.. A woman that keeps drifting in and out of my head.. Even when I'm not drinking wine.. in my blue socks. A woman I lost because I had made too many mistakes. Stuff that I didn't understand.. Like losing one sock in the wash.. 10 years go by.. You never see it again. So a lot of time goes by.. You never see her again either. What is that? Why do I still wonder.. You can't just wear one sock.. Can you? But, of course, I can't go into all that melancholia blah blah here, because this is a restaurant review.. (that I stumbled across while navigating through several web resources looking for something else entirely.. can't even remember what it was now) and in the end.. found myself scribbling this stuff. So, now, I will recklessly post this irresponsible comment anyway.. Maybe ten people will read it. Because.. you gotta tap the top first part, way up there, to get way down here. But, by this time, I feel obligated to tell you.. I eventually did have a long staring out the window at the rain dinner there.. it was a different place then.. California. As Dylan says, ".. the north country fair" So, if you're travelin.. as I was.. alone.. outta gas.. in the blue socks.. found on some way back there Christmas morning.. under the tree.. "from Mom to GW".. a long time ago. (unedited&stillmakinmistakes)
Wonderful new restaurant!!! Food Great!! Very Nice Staff and Owner!!! We had Sonoma Chicken Sandwich & Big Fancy Burger for my Husband!!! Only complaint is loved the French fries and would have loved to see a bit more on my plate!!! Great bar with lots of nice friendly customers... I counted 7 big screen TV's in the place Worth the drive!!
I been eating at this place almost every day. I Love the food and drink. Crazy Unique, extensive and DELICIOUS menu. Fabulous, fresh cocktails too. I can't wait to return! Hip, really clean, updated station was so much more than I expected. Every employee was friendly and helpful. Truly great experience.
We just happened in while passing through town. Crazy Unique, extensive and DELICIOUS menu. Fabulous, fresh cocktails too. We can't wait to return! Hip, really clean, updated station was so much more than I expected. Every employee was friendly and helpful. Truly great experience.
New favorite place to go in Cloverdale. Try the mac and cheese, it's better than homemade!
