Choo Choo Restaurant

Since reopening, the Choo-Choo is much more fun. You used to have to fight to get a seat at the counter to get served by the choo-choo, the toy train which carries out food on flat-bed freight cars along a track on the counter. Now the choo-choo makes stops for those in booths, too. Also the cheeseburgers are delicious and there's even more train paraphanelia.
