The Rail is all about keeping it local. From our locally sourced burgers and sandwiches to our all-Ohio craft beer taps to our old-school, hand-dipped milkshakes, we locally source as many ingredients as we can. Established in 2011, The Rail is the vision of award-winning chef and restaurateur Mike Mariola. Opening and running two of Wooster, Ohio's most successful restaurants, South Market Bistro and The City Square Steakhouse, Mariola noticed the locally sourced burgers were quite popular and decided to pursue a burger bar concept for his next venture... which brought us to The Rail. Mariola opened the first location in July of 2011 at Akron's Summit Mall. We have since opened locations in North Olmsted, Canton, Strongsville and Dublin to spread our burger and beer and shake happiness around Ohio. Combining his lifelong passion for great, fresh food and a dedication to sustainability, Mariola is able to redefine the typical burger joint with a menu you have to taste for yourself.
