The Rail Car Diner Everyone In Ohio Needs To Visit At Least Once
You might be surprised to find that Ohio is home to several train-themed restaurants. (Be sure to check out this list and this train depot restaurant.) There’s one locomotive-themed restaurant every true Ohioan needs to visit at least once, however. Buckeye Express Diner in Bellville, Ohio is a hidden gem to those that don’t know about it and a frequent stop for locals.
Here’s why you need to visit at least once—and why you’ll likely visit more than once:
If you take exit 165 off of Interstate 71, you'll find this iconic not-your-average diner.
Be sure to ask about the special of the day, as it's always changing—but always delicious.
On the menu, you'll find all the diner classics. The burgers here are exceptional, but you can also get some Lake Erie perch, a corn beef rueben, a chicken ranch wrap and more.
If you're tired of fast food chains during your road trips, Buckeye Express Diner truly is the perfect alternative.
Buckeye Express Diner is located at 810 State Route 97 W, Bellville, OH 44813. Have you ever been here before? If so, we want to know what your experience was like!
