BOBS TRAIN – American
Lunch inside a railroad car. Bob's Train sits on Fruitville Road built around the JOMAR, a private Pullman that volunteers still restore most Saturday mornings under the Sarasota Suncoast Railroad banner. The kitchen keeps things casual and unpretentious. The M.O.O.S.E. Burger is the signature, backed by a bacon mushroom cheeseburger, a ham Rueben, kielbasa with onions and peppers, grilled brie and berry, tilapia, and an almost-Chicago dog. Salads include the Brittany, built on spinach, artichokes, mozzarella and tomato. Weekday lunch runs eleven to two, and Sunday brunch adds omelets and eggs. Satellite navigation struggles with the address, so call ahead.
