We know this place as the Train Wreck in the same location. A nice local spot in a converted railway car. They take credit cards, have a great breakfast with some homemade local sauces.

This is our second time eating here, and it was fantastic once again! It is not fancy--located in a renovated train car with a diner set up insider--but the food is consistently delicious! It is great for us as one of us is a vegetarian, and one of is not. There is barbeque, burgers, chicken, and green chile on the... More

We were leaving Seward to return to Anchorage and happened upon the Smoke Shack. It was open for breakfast, and we stopped to eat. We were very happy with our breakfasts. Pancakes and the burrito (so large, I kept half for later). The waitress was super friendly and attentive. She explained the sauce assortments, and her fave was orange jalapeno.... More

If you are more interested in the quality of the food than the atmosphere, this is the place. It is our first choice for eating in Seward. They have great sandwhiches and better breakfasts. The pulled pork sandwhich comes with an assortment of sauces available. Try them all.

This is the place to go for a real authentic burger in Seward.. No one can beat it! If you get to come here, don't forget to ask the waiter the 6 kind of sauces for your burger! They go together well with your burger

I love the food here - interesting flavors, generous portions, and overall delicious. Not fine dining, but a perfect diner-like breakfast or lunch place. Open year round.

We ordered BBQ and the food was fine. There is limited seating, and we had to wait more than 1/2 hour to get in. The service was good once we were seated.

We went here after reading other reviews on Tripadvisor. It is in a train car and is unique. We had to wait for a seat and it was just after lunch time. Food was good but not exceptional. Service was okay for a very crowded place.

only open for lunch I think. It looks like a dump...old railroad car. But the burrito was wonderful, fairly priced and the portions are huge.

This is an old dining car from the railroad. The only downside is that seating is limited. Wonderful waitress who takes care of you and great "diner" type food. We had lunch and breakfast there while visiting Seward in late August.
