The Train-Themed Restaurant In Delaware That Will Make You Feel Like A Kid Again

If you’re wondering why this restored train station has been turned into the only train-themed restaurant in Delaware, I can only guess that the owners had loco-motives!

…

Okay, okay, I’ll stop – before I pick up more steam. All train jokes aside, if you’re looking for a great place to go on a romantic date, or to bring kids for a fun event, or even just to solve a murder mystery on an otherwise slow weeknight, you’ve got to check out The Salted Rim in Ocean View! You’ll be delighted to find out that they serve up some top notch Tex-Mex with a great seafood twist. All aboard!

The Salted Rim in Ocean View is the only train themed restaurant in Delaware.

You can actually visit the vintage, restored cars at any time.

But most people come to the Salted Rim to dine in a train car.

The restaurant serves up a variety of Tex-Mex dishes, such as shrimp fajitas, quesadillas, and their award-winning grouper tacos.

If you're into guac, their shrimp guacamole is some of the best you'll ever try.

Of course, with a name like The Salted Rim, you can expect perfect cocktails to go with your entree.

Dining in a train car is a unique experience that's hard to find in Delaware - the closest thing to it is the Wilmington and Western Railroad's dinner train.

This (stationary) dinner train is great for groups. They host fun events all year long, including regular murder mystery dinners.

Kids love throwing their birthday parties in the vintage parlor cars...

...and local groups love to use the flexible, unique space for meet ups.

In the winter, the Salted Rim becomes the Polar Express! Meet Santa and his Elves as you dine in these historic trains.

Kid friendly events happen year round, from the Easter Express to the Thomas The Tank Engine parties. You're sure to find something on their calendar that your family will love.

You can find The Salted Rim at 27 Atlantic Ave, Ocean View, DE 19970. Their event calendar can be found on their website here, and if you’re looking for another locomotive themed adventure in Delaware, I’d recommend planning to check out This Fall Foliage Train Ride Through Delaware For A One-Of-A-Kind Experience.
