Drawing inspiration from the success of his steakhouse’s bar menu, award-winning chef Mike Mariola founded The Rail in 2011 as a full-service burger restaurant and bar suitable for any occasion.

​

The Rail’s burgers are honest and local; 100% of the beef used in our restaurants comes from local farms. The well-rounded menu also features local chicken, local dairy products used in our milkshakes, draft beers born and brewed in Ohio and craft cocktails with spirits from local distilleries.

​

We take our beer and cocktail selection as seriously as we take our burgers. We highlight a locally curated cocktail and beer list with spirits from Ohio-based distilleries and beers from Ohio-based breweries, rounding out the complete Rail experience. 

​

The Rail has received several awards over the years including:
