New Jersey has a wide range of unique restaurants, from those that look like caves (Cafe Archetypus in Edgewater) to old-school drive-ins (Chatterbox in Augusta). Each is special in its own way, but if you’re looking for something exquisite, head to Rod’s Steak & Seafood Grille.

This luxurious restaurant offers a train car dining area and so much more.

The interiors are absolutely stunning.

The intricate details will astound you.
The main dining area isn't too shabby either. By "not too shabby," I mean it's unforgettable.

The ceiling is a masterpiece and the space feels open and airy.
But it's not just the locomotives that draw you in - Rod's has award-winning steak.

This great gourmet spot is quite different from New Jersey’s other train car restaurant, Clinton Station Diner. A reader favorite, it can be found at One Convent Road (Madison Avenue), Morristown. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, parlour cars are open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays.
