"Cool place to have a meal. My wife and I both had smashburgers and they were delicious. Among the best we have had. Service was fast and friendly. They also have a good selection of beers at reasonable prices."

"It's a bar in a cool old depot. The tracks are still next to the depot. It's got all your expected bar foods with some twists. They have a broader menu as well. Good stuff indeed."
Kevin Werner
"Trackside Station was a great surprise!
I had the jalapeño popper smash burger, and it was phenomenal, crispy, spicy, and packed with flavor. The live music tonight gave the whole place an awesome energy, and you could tell everyone was having a great time. Great food, great vibes. I’ll definitely be back!"

Rocklanders also congregate at the new Trackside Station restaurant, in a building that was alternately the town hall, city jail, and train station. Adorning the walls are blown-up pictures of the day in 1941 when Franklin Roosevelt came ashore after signing the Atlantic Charter off the coast of Newfoundland to board a train to D.C. at Rockland’s station.The food is crowd pleasing, and after dinner winds down, the local owners—one of which grew up down the street—push the tables against the wall for dancing.
