Imagine this: You’re in the delightful Sunshine State, you’ve seen the sights, you’ve tasted the key lime pie, you’ve even bought the cliché t-shirt.
But have you ever dined on a privately owned circus train?
If not, then buckle up because we’re about to embark on a culinary journey like no other!
Tucked away in Sarasota, a city known for its quirky eateries and tourist spots, is a hidden gem that’s unlike anything you’ve ever heard of.
It’s not just a restaurant, it’s a whole experience, a time machine if you will, taking you back to the golden age of circuses.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, let’s introduce Bob’s Train!
Now, finding this place is a bit like seeking the Holy Grail, it’s sitting on old tracks in an old yard, a little inconspicuous, but oh boy, is it worth the treasure hunt.
Once inside, you’ll find yourself in a veritable Aladdin’s cave of circus memorabilia covering every inch of the walls.
It’s like dining in a museum, with one car for feasting and two other cars just begging to be explored.
And then there’s Bob, the ringmaster of this circus train.
Not only does he whip up a storm in the kitchen, but he’s also a walking, talking Sarasota history book.
And did we mention his circus knowledge?
You’ll leave not just with a full belly but a head full of fascinating tidbits too.
The menu, oh, the menu!

Juicy hamburgers, lip-smacking hot dogs, and BLTs that are sheer perfection.
