    Setting up shop at 1064 Dublin Rd., the 5,505 square-foot restaurant is one of the first things to open as part of Thrive Companies’ 55-acre, mixed-use Grandview Crossing development.

    “We are very excited to be on the frontend of the openings within the development so that we can serve the residents that are living there, as well as guests from near and far,” says Megan Rodenhauser, chief marketing officer for Mike Mariola Restaurants, which owns The Rail.

    Five years ago, the restaurant group expanded to Central Ohio with the opening of The Rail in Dublin.

    “With the success we’ve seen at our first Columbus-area Rail in Dublin, we are extremely optimistic that Grandview Crossing will drive heavy demand for our concept,” says restaurant group Founder Mike Mariola.

    It’s a burger and Ohio love fest at The Rail, with a menu that prominently features each. Diners can choose from eight signature burgers or build their own. There’s also a smattering of non-burger options like chicken sandwiches and salads, along with a lineup of munchies.

    As for Ohio, it’s Ohio-grown burgers, Ohio beer, Ohio spirits, and even Ohio-produced dairy for its half-dozen flavors of milkshake.

    The Rail offers brunch on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., and happy hour from 3 – 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

    The Rail’s hours are 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. – 11 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. – 10 p.m. Sunday.
