We BBQ our homemade burgers!

Two dogs are wandering around. They were just in my front yard. One is a very large fluffy brown dog the other is a short haired white and black large boxer/pit.

Let us do the baking! We are now taking custom baking orders! Come in or give us a call!

We now have freshly made cheese buns and cupcakes ready to go! Or you can make an order! Give us a call or direct message anytime!

Due to Staff Shortage and Monday Being Such A Quiet Day, Char's Railway Cafe Has Opted To Close on Monday's. We will use Monday's to Deep Clean, Renovate, and do General Maintenence to Serve You Better!! We Thank you for Your Support and Hope To See You Tuesday!!!

Another break-In at the shop. This time there is significant property damage and loss of security equipment. If you know who is doing this, please encourage the...m to get in touch, as there is NOTHING in the building, but if you’d like a guided tour, we’d be happy to oblige. Oh, and your masked faces were delightful, however there were more cameras that you didn’t take and your clever getaway truck was caught on camera. Get a new hobby. See more
