We have been twice to the new train restaurant on Madison in Forest park. The head chef used to be the chef of Briejo, tomboy, etc. my dh and I liked the turkey burger and the pot roast sandwich. The food is much better than the other train restaurants in the Chicago area. Really nice homemade Mac and cheese and other kid friendly dishes.

If you have kids and are in the area, definitely worth a visit.

Haven't been yet but neighbors with little kids rave about it.

See my review earlier today here:http://lthforum.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=36537#p436277

Granted I have only been once, but my wife went a second time, and still felt the same way about the food afterwards. Then again, I have not been to any of the other train restaurants for comparison.

Thanks for drawing Junction Diner to my attention, Matt.



Had a very good Burlington Bacon Burger. Fresh beef, hand-formed, bacon and cheddar. Carolyn ordered for me while I was playing with the train stuff, and so I got the sweet potato fries, though my preference would have been the house-made potato chips.

Beer and wine is available, which kind of surprised me, but it was appreciated.

It's Forest Park, Hammond. Beer and wine are available!

Terrible website though. Half in English, half in Spanish. No interior pictures. The two movies don't play.

What parts do you see in Spanish?
The two vids I see do play, but they look like default videos of the design co. I'm looking on the "Gallery" page.

Yes, ridiculous. Guy invests all that time and money into a new place and drops the ball on a primary interface with the customer (PS. There may be some Spanish in there, but most of what I saw was Greeked in placeholder copy).
