Really well done, clean re-purposing job that retains the qualities of the train but still cozy as a legitimate restaurant. Food was good, came with big steak fries. Totally worth a little stop for lunch or something.

Buckeye Express Diner

Fun little restaurant on a train, for people of all ages, but especially children. They also have another train behind it that you can rent out.

The dining car is air conditioned (window units) with ceiling-mounted TVs showing kids shows, and the caboose has special seating that could be really fun for the adventurous.

Outside, a relatively new train playground for the kids; includes crawl tunnel and a bell to ring. You can also ring the bell on the big engine and blow the whistle (the whistle was broken, but if fixed you can activate it for a quarter).

You had better be a Buckeye fan to visit - the place is loaded with OSU stuff.
