🚨 WARNING: Reading this post may cause sudden wing cravings. 🍗

It’s WING WEDNESDAY at The Railside!

🔥 Bone-In • Boneless • Naked Bone-In
🌶️ Toss ‘em in your favorite sauce or keep the sauce on the side—we don’t judge.

Because let’s be honest… salads have had enough attention this week. 😏

Grab your wing crew, order at least 10 wings, wash ’em down with an ice-cold beer, and let Wednesday become your new favorite day of the week.

📍 Patio is open (weather permitting), cold drinks are flowing, and the wings are waiting!

🌮 BREAKING NEWS: Scientists have confirmed it’s impossible to be sad while eating tacos… and honestly, we’re not volunteering to test the theory. 😎

It’s TACO TUESDAY at The Railside!

Why did the taco go to therapy? 🌮
Because it couldn’t keep all its fillings inside! 😂

Tonight from 4–8 PM (or until we taco ’bout being sold out):
🌮 Beef tacos (corn or flour)
🧀 Homemade chip nachos
🥗 Taco salads
🥙 Tostadas
🍚 Rice & beans
🍺 Ice-cold drinks to wash it all down

Skip the dishes. Your sink has suffered enough this week.

We’ll be here… just lettuce know how many tacos you’re “only planning to eat.” We promise not to judge when that number mysteriously doubles. 😏🌮

📍 The Railside Bar & Grill
⏰ 4–8 PM (or until sold out!)

Whether you’re recovering from Saturday, avoiding yard work, or just looking for an excuse to skip cooking… we’ve got you covered.
