Railway/ Alexander area of downtown eastside is clean and quiet with lots of interesting places worth visiting!This cafe is in a heritage building with bright and cozy atmosphere. Their sandwiches were very good with quality ingredient though a bit on pricy side.

Railtown Café, located on Howe Street in Vancouver, offers a delightful dining experience with friendly and courteous staff. Patrons rave about the salmon and pork shoulder sandwiches for their freshness and rich flavors. While most reviews are positive, noting the quality of food like the sous-vide salmon salad, there have been occasional concerns about the consistency in bread quality for some orders. The café is highly recommended for its healthy, flavorful options and has received favorable ratings across various platforms

Normally love this place but got the lunch special sandwich today (BBQ turkey) and I almost choked on this huge bone :( also found the sandwich very dry overall. I guess I’ll have to stick to the salads going

Dec 24. 2023 - We just picked up our Christmas dinner order! Fantastic staff and service!The quality and flavours of the Christmas dinner was a bit lacking compared to the Thanksgiving dinner we ordered back in October, so it was a little embarrassing since we highly recommended this meal to our guests. The Turkey was dry this time and we all agreed the Thanksgiving Turkey was much more juicy and tender, so we preferred that one. The side dishes were very similar, however we all liked the pumpkin pie much much more than the apple pie (honey crisp or Granny Smith apple pie from save on food is much better). Overall we still managed to enjoy the dinner. Keep up the good service but the meal needs to be more consistent. Merry Christmas everyone! ???Dec 2023 - We ordered Christmas dinner from Railtown again, looking forward to it! Hopefully it’s as good as last time!Oct 2023 - We ordered the Thanksgiving Turkey dinner to Go and it was absolutely wonderful. We have ordered Thanksgiving Turkey dinners from a couple other restaurants in the past but this one from Railtown Catering is hands down the best. For someone that doesn’t usually like to eat Turkey I thoroughly enjoyed the Turkey prepared by Railtown. The Turkey was flavourful, moist and juicy. The entire menu including the pumpkin pie was just delicious! I would definitely recommend these special holiday take out meals from Railtown. Thanks Railtown catering for making our Thanksgiving dinner a memorable one!

My friends, this is one of the best meatball subs I've had. Perfect rainy day grub. The bread - crusty but won't rip the roof of your mouth. Oh so dippable. The meat - it's real. Not out of a can or a bucket, you can taste the quality. The Sauce - rich and bold, felt like it simmered for weeks. The assembly - meatballs staggered to prevent them falling out. Bread wraps around the meat. Cheese perfectly browned and layered. $22 for this combo. Service was fine, friendly cashier. Open concept cafe vibe, not a ton of seating. Go get it!
Their Vanilla Roobios tea and Avocado Toast is my favorite!!
