Red Caboose Cafe

Maggie loves cafes so I found Red Caboose Cafe to try after a day exploring Kings Canyon National Park. It was hot outside but inside the AC was working well. I was really impressed by the decor.

Hanging from the ceiling were train tracks. Nice waitress asked if we wanted to watch the trains run? We did. When I was a kid one year I got a train set and I ran the train around our Christmas tree. We enjoyed watching the trains while waiting for our food.

Dinner roll was fluffy and I liked the mild flavor.

Beef barley soup featured tender flavorful beef. I rarely eat beef barley soup but this one was delicious and I would order it again.

Onion rings had a crunchy batter and had lots of onion flavor. Standard fast food type onion ring.

Honey fried chicken featured crunchy batter with honey drizzled on top. Chicken was tender and juicy. Loved the salty and sweet flavors. One of my favorite fried chicken dishes.

Service was great from the friendly and efficient staff. I’m looking forward to more delicious fried chicken and beef barley soup on our next trip to Kings Canyon. Hope the trains will be running again. Red Caboose Cafe is one of the coolest cafes I’ve ever visited.
