Its name comes from its unique location just feet from the tracks, where trains still thunder past the patio. The building has survived fires, ownership changes, and even a 1929 train derailment that reshaped its structure, making it one of Michigan’s most storied bar‑and‑grill destinations. Sidetrack is nationally known for its food—especially “Our Famous Burger,” featured by GQ as one of the 20 Burgers You Must Eat Before You Die and highlighted by Oprah’s team. Riders love their deep‑fried pickles, hand‑cut sweet potato fries, Reubens, quesadillas, and a long list of comfort‑food favorites. With 37 beers on tap, a lively atmosphere, and a front‑row seat to passing trains, it’s a fun and memorable stop for a chapter ride. Each member is responsible for their own museum admission ticket, meal, beverage, and gratuity.
