It's all about the atmosphere for the kids. A train delivers your food.
Food was mediocre and the waitresses could have used a hug, but the ambience was lots of fun for the kids. They run the train all the time. It was lots of fun for all the kids.
This is a great place to go to as a kid and adult which I have done over the years. The atmosphere is very positive every time that I go to PC Junction. If the lines are long, that is not even a problem as we head over to the other building which hosts little carts that people can drive around in while they wait for their seat to open. I would absolutely recommend coming here if you have the chance, especially if you have children to entertain.
Great food. Interesting service! Nice and clean. Unique and one of a kind restaurant. A must see in Door County. Kids of all ages would enjoy the atmosphere especially train buffs.
If you have kids and are visiting Door County, this place is a must for lunch during your trip. This place is one of those little spots that you might miss if you drove by, but it's full of fun. They have a bunch of stuff to play with outside, but the real fun is indoors while you're waiting for your food. When you're seated around the bar, a model train chugs your food and drinks out to you, and the staff loads it up with toys and other fun stuff in between, so my kids were thoroughly entertained watching the train go by during their meal. Prices are reasonable, the menu is small but the food is good. They also have an ice cream counter and a pretty good bloody mary for the adults. A real hidden gem in the Door County peninsula.
Must-visit spot if you're in Door County with kids. They can sit in the restaurant where a mini train chugs by in front of them with Peppa Pig, Princesses, Paw Patrol figures on board, and then delivers their meal. Parents get to sit just behind and perhaps enjoy the great Bloody Mary's and beer selection. Outside there is an amazing selection of toys/ interesting junk/ pedal go karts. Great fun!
Up-front, must say we were not too enthused about price & service. After ordering, our waitress did not bring drinks until after food finally arrived, and only because we nagged. Also, food was very overpriced for what you got, which was not a lot--cost us over $50 for 2 adults & 3 kids. On the other hand, the food did taste okay and was prepared well.
What was really cool though was the train that brings around food--kids LOVED watching it. Also, the outside activities and playgrounds. We were surprised to find playgrounds & slides, as well as free pedal karts, a giant chess set, a pig you could check-out, and a few other things. Most of these were next to the PC Pizza Czar next door, but the two appear to be owned by the same people. So, if you are going for the food and service (eh) if you are going for your young kids to have some free fun, go for it.
It takes a lot for me to leave a negative review. Let alone a one star, not sure if I've ever done this. We had rude, short and inattentive service. The food was legitimately bad, the brats and burgers would be bad for school food. Dry buns and terrible frozen fries. The climax of bad food was a hot dog bun posing as "garlic bread" on a salad. The atmosphere could be fun and some fun things for kids but there are many other things in the area that are more fun.
Kids have a great time here. The burgers & fries get delivered on a model train that circles the front bar area.
They have limited healthy/adult options, aside from fried foods. But the real draw is the model train - which my nephew and niece loved. Unfortunately the price of entertainment seems to be included in unusual high prices for simple burger joint.
Amazing family owned and family friendly restaurant! Highly recommended to all my friends and family. Sitting by the train was exciting for everyone in our group! Our food and beverages were delivered on the train by the incredibly patient and fun wait staff they have working there. Although not all of us could sit up by the train we took the time to talk to the manager where we understood that the train was more of an experience for the children waiting as well as our own. Their cheeseburgers are absolutely delicious and missing out on their chili would be a mistake. Put it on your list of things to do this summer!
First stepping into PC Junction I was amazed by the great interior design of the establishment. The food is reasonably priced and portions match the price of what you pay. With a unique delivery strategy I enjoyed the hospitality and food! Best soup I have ever had!
My family has been going to PC since they opened and it has never disappointed! Great place for adults and kids alike. The food is wonderful! Their soup is amazing! 10/10 would recommend
