3 of us went for Rodizio. Everyone was so pleasant and very attentive! There were so many great choices on the buffets. The staff continuously came to the table offering different meat. I would say there were a few choices that were tough to chew but flavor was excellent. We never felt rushed. The Brazilian coffee to finish the meal was delicious too. We will be back.

Milford

About the restaurant

The Rail Trail Flatbread Co., celebrated its grand opening on 12/12/23, marking not only a milestone in Milford's downtown revitalization but also a nod to the original Hudson location's success. Built in a meticulously renovated former bank that features a spacious restaurant and bar, outdoor patio, and upstairs events space, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

The Milford location reflects a two-and-a-half-year renovation effort, preserving historical elements like the century-old clock, vault door, and exposed brick walls. The open dining layout encourages interaction, adorned with family photos for a homey feel.

Though famous for flatbreads, Rail Trail boasts diverse offerings, each component is made in-house. Notable flatbreads include "Fig & Walnut" and "Mexican Street Corn," alongside the popular "Primo Pepperoni." Appetizers like "Hot Tots" and "Sesame Cauliflower" showcase Rail Trail's culinary creativity.

A gem in downtown Worcester. After going to the VanGogh exhibit, it made sense to dine here afterward and we were very glad we did! The menu was terrific and our server was excellent. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the ambiance.

The dining room was lovely as always, and decorated for Christmas. We all ordered the soup of the day, cream of parsnip, and the cod for dinner. Both were delicious. Service, for the most part, was perfect.
