The Dining Car at High River Station - High River, Alberta

Great little place to stop for a casual lunch. A lot of good options for everybody and picky eaters. It is a small but unique space, close to the centre of town. The beef dip tasted just like home made! Fairly small portions for the price, but we did not leave disappointed.

This eatery is a historical experience, a CPRail passenger train turned into a restaurant that offers home food: fresh baked bread fresh pies, obviously freshly made hollandaise sauce with just the right zing and not too butter forward.

You can Build Your Own Eggs Benedict and Bugers, and the soup of the day was deliciously well balanced. The stuffed French toast was a hit and so was the Chicken Green Apple Sandwich.

The owner has train stories to tell and is an excellent host.

The bathroom at the back of the car (not accessible given the age and build of the rail car) has a geometric ceiling tile and is well maintained.

Service was great and the food was delicious. I had the special of the day savoury French Toast and it did not disappoint the brie cheese with the strong ham were chef’s kiss worthy.

It's a neat experience, dining in a train car. Place was cleaning and warming. The service was great, smiles all around. I had the salmon benny, it was average, felt like the salmon was a bit overcooked but it was still ok. Prices were average and the place had plenty of parking available. Small place so we lucked out with seating but I feel like this would a place that reservations should be made in advance.

I got the BLT with maple Dijon and a fried egg. It was absolutely delicious and fresh, the salad was wonderful with the green goddess dressing! Highly recommend

On our way home from Nanton my mother and I just decided on a whim to try The Dining Car. We had and EXCEPTIONALLY good time! The food was Fantastic! Best meal we have had out in years, no joke! Everything was home made and you knew it. So comforting. The atmosphere is light and warm, soft music playing, not nearly as cramped as I thought it might feel. Our waiter(whom I'm so sorry I didn't remember his name) was wonderful. VERY clean and well maintained. You can tell they take pride in everything the do there. We 100% wl be back more often!

If you haven't been here I highly recommend and make sure during peak season and hours(11 to 1pm) to call and make reservations!

Unfortunately there is one thing that would make it hard for some, it's not wheel chair accessible. There is stairs leading up to the door and a very narrow hallway and small bathroom at then end.

I've been wanting to come here for quite some time and am really glad that I finally was able to. They have done a tremendous job of using this historical significant diningcar (1 of 10 in North America) to recreate a dining experience. You know it's going to be a great place when the head chef helps bring food and buys tables. The food is exceptional, and so is the service, but I'd suggest making a reservation... this gem is popular and books up fast. Everything looks delicious, but this might be the best salmon eggs benedict I've ever had.

An interesting dining experience in this unique little dining car.  It is nicely decorated, has a warm atmosphere and has comfortable enough seating. The young lady who was our server was fantastic, very friendly, smiley and attentive, nice to see someone enjoying what they do.  We ordered the traditional breakfast, waffles and frenchtoast.  The traditional breakfast was of a good portion and tasted good.  The frenchtoast was two tiny, skinny pieces, they tasted fine but there was not much to them.  There were two waffles, they came with whipped cream and syrup on the side, which I prefer instead of it being pre-poured.  The Waffles tasted fine but were not light and fluffy like traditional waffles.  They were of a heavier consistency with more resemblance to a cake doughnut, which is not to my liking.  Prices were good. All in all, we had a good experience and will return to sample different items in the menu.
