My first impression of A-train was somewhat skeptical, as it is somewhat tucked away and the menu needs some work. However, I couldnt have been more glad I stopped here. I had the ribs, hush puppies, pickle spears, and the creamsicle cake. The ribs were fall of the bone, no questions about it. However, the rub is very minimal on the meat, so sauce is a must. Luckily, their sauce (smoky) is excellent and pairs very well with the ribs. The hush puppies are pretty normal, but plenty good. The pickle spears have an excellent batter, but I am not super keen on the spears idea, I prefer strips or chips, personally. The creamsicle cake is very dense, but excellent, and should really be split between two people. It is a bit pricey for BBQ in this area, but you will not be let down.

Great little place that serves breakfast and lunch. Breakfast specials are priced amazing$4.50 for several eggs, two bacon, sausage or ham, a nice serving of your choice of hash browns, home fries or grits and big fresh biscuits with real butter and jam. The coffee is excellent and the waitress staff really stays on top of all tables its a collaborative effort which is very refreshing. They do have a elaborate menu of home cooking breakfast they have custom and specialized large omelets, as will as pancakes and both thin and brioche French toast that are well prepared as well. Its small, but charming and always busy but never uncomfortable or loud.

Small but big in character. BBQ joint that also serves breakfast. Super friendly staff, fast service, and very reasonable prices. Train themed, there is a lot of railroad artwork and decorations. Food was really good. Only reason for just four stars was the really tiny coffee cups and cryptic menu. Mug did get refilled frequently though.

Dave, Carol, and family run an amazing restaurant. The atmosphere is like sitting down in a family diner. And the food? Wow! So delicious whether its breakfast or lunch or dinner. Best pulled pork around! All fresh!

Worst food ever eaten in Lakeland. All dishes were stone cold. Meat barely cooked. It was obvious we couldnt eat our meals and the "not ashamed" Christians could have cared less. Jesus wept!

A-Train has retained the best of Sharis, which it replaced, while adding its own great items. We really like the hamburger & fries and the b-b-q items
