It's not strange, it's cool. There's a restaurant in Kansas City with several locations called Fritz's that also has trains deliver your food but in a different way. The inside of the building looks like an old school dining car and you order your food via a phone at your table. After they hand deliver your drinks, they put your food into a basket, and then place it on the one of the trains that run around the ceiling. Each one has a tray underneath to carry the basket. As they pass by your table, a stopper comes down and the basket of food lands on a little elevator that lowers it down to you. Experiencing that place as a little kid made it the coolest place I'd ever been to at the time.
I love. it too. How fun! But I'm surprised to hear it passes food safety standards in the U.S. where salad bars and such require shielding so the customers can't breathe on the food. And it would have bothered me during the COVID pandemic. But that said, cooks breathe on food all the time!
I have been there. I went as a kid back in the 80's and took my daughter there. When I was a kid the food was amazing when I was an adult I realized it was not lol. Just basic cheeseburger and fries. Not horrible just basic.
We used to have a sushi place near me that had floating sushi plates that you sat in front of. You took the plate, ate the sushi, and the waitresses just walked around and billed you for what you got. It was dope! :D
@@mikhail29sys I know about the "scientific" Big Bang Theory, especially in conjunction with the so-called, unproven, "scientific" Multiverse Theory. Two unproven theories regarding the start of the Universe. Did they make a TV series about it?
In Wisconsin Dells, WI, there’s a restaurant up there called Buffalo Phil’s Pizza & Grille that has the trains running all over the restaurant just like this! Some of their food is too heavy for the trains so in that case the waiters will bring the food, but all drinks are transported by the trains, and it was a neat experience having a Standard-gauge model train bring me a 🍺 & water! Food there was excellent too, so if you go to the Dells, I highly recommend that place to get an experience like this here in the US!
Only one correction, Buffalo Phil's Pizza and Grille uses Fn3 scale equipment, not standard gauge. Similar size (Fn3 is a larger scale than Lionel Standard Gauge at 1:20.3 vs roughly 1:27, but used to represent 3ft narrow-gauge equipment), but the track gauge is 45mm rather than 53.975mm.
only the kids meals? 😭 I want Thomas to bring me my hamburgers, he can finally be a useful engine ! (He was NOT a useful engine in real life. They were garbage. There is a funny short youtube vid on it XD)
You know, I really seem to like this restaurant! It sure is mesmerizing to watch all those little toy model trains just riding around the restaurant delivering people’s meals and drinks. It seems to bring back lots of childhood memories.
9:48 my only concern is that the trains pass underneath a walkway, dirt and grime from people's shoes might fall into those open glasses if someone happens to walk by as the train passes
Not spilling the beer takes a lot of skill for those little drivers. I hope they're compensated well in their time off. Joke aside this is so damn cool. When I lived in Virginia my mother worked at a place called Chesley Brown International and they had a massive train collection on the main floor where the bookstore was and they'd have them running year round delivering books to people in the bookstore. During Halloween they'd deliver candy to kids and on Christmas they'd deliver little gifts to people when they came in.
@@karloarsch1579 But, how does the train stop at the right customers? I assume each seat has a number, and the staff inputs that number in the train CPU, and it stops at that seat.
Oh My God, I want to open one of these in America. I would love to have a Seafood restaurant that serves Fish Fry haddock on a hot dog roll with sweet chili, tangy tarter, sweet tarter, cocktail, ketchup, or plain, and clam rolls on hot dog buns, and scallop rolls on hot dog buns, and fresh vadallia onion rings and fresh french fries and mini natural casing Hembold hot dogs with mustard, onions and meat sauce, and gourmet hamburgers. It would be so cool to have the trains come from the kitchen out to the customer on their own track with their tray on the flatbed cars. Each seat would be a separate stop. Computer controlled so they stop at the right person. And goes ding ding ding ding as it goes down the track. And when it gets to you it would blow the horn , long, long, short, long ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fascinating! The use of model trains to deliver food in a restaurant is such a creative way to attract customers while creating a fun atmosphere. As a model railway enthusiast, I’m thrilled to see how our hobby can be integrated into such unique and practical applications. Does the restaurant use specific models or scales of trains? Thanks for sharing this unique story - it’s truly inspiring and proof that model railways have a wide array of uses!
There was a local chain pharmacy store where I lived nearly 50 years ago that used a Lionel train to deliver finished prescriptions from the pharmacy counter in the back of the store, along the wall of the store to the cashier in front. It was very simple, a locomotive and one or two gondolas running in a straight line with bumpers at each end. I think when the train touched the bumper at either end it reversed the direction of the train automatically for the return trip. I looked forward to going in there when I was young just to see that run.
This was true in my home town too. In the late 1950s & early 1960s, in suburban Cleveland. Our main drugstore utilized electric trains to bring prescriptions from the rear pharmacy, up to the front of the store. As a kid, I was mesmerized by it. Later as an impatient teen, it seemed too slow a method.
@@Davett53 I'm from Akron, so it could be the same chain, Revco, later absorbed by CVS, and probably the basis for the fictional DrugCo pharmacy chain in "The Drew Carey Show".
@@paulw.woodring7304 Oh!...Yeah, I forgot the name,....you are right,...it was called Revco. (I recall my Mother told me Revco was related to, The Revlon Cosmetic company. I dunno if that is true. Nor do I care.) But that is interesting, that all their stores utilized the "electric toy train" to deliver the medications, from the rear of the store to the front cashiers. Later I remembered, that I had a childhood Dentist, who had toy electric trains on tracks overhead, running through all dental suites. Something to distract the kids, while they had their teeth cleaned, or fillings installed. That restaurant looks like a fun place to eat.
That is cool! Very much enjoyed how it was presented with no voiceover and just simply showing the people and trains doing their things. Would love to stop by and enjoy those burgers and fries if I lived about 7700 km closer.
The dream of every kid that played with trains to have food/whatever transported by the trains. I knew this wouldn’t be in America. Someone would steal the wrong order, sneeze in another’s drinks as they go past, knock over the trains, put stuff on the tracks.
I was so amazed that I kept it watching continously for half an hour. The concept is quite innovative that food ordered by customers is being delivered on their respective tables by the toy trains . Now, in my next visit to Europe, I will make a point to visit this restaurant in Prague .
There used to be a restaurant like this in NYC when my father was a child. He told me about how they delivered burgers on model trains. It was around in the 50s-60s timeframe. The name of it was Burger Express.
On Long Island (Huntington/Melville), Hamburger Choo-Choo was a thing up until the mid-70s. My parents kept telling me about how much I loved it but I have no memory. I think it burned down when I was maybe 5-9 so like 1982?
OMG flashbacks to when my Lionel Train Set hauled around my own "Taylor Pork Roll with Government Cheese To me after Mom made it and me just playing with it. These was my 60's days with Lionel 027 gauge set
It would've been cool if my food didn't pass in front of strangers who might cough or do other stuff to my food before it reached me. Maybe invent a cover system where it pops the cover open when it reaches its stop.
Ate in one like this in Taipei, Taiwan, in the mid-1980's. It was a round bar and the train just went round and round, so no control was necessary. It was buffet style: you just pulled off any dish you liked and at the end they charged you according to your plate sizes or dishes. Customers sat on bar stools all around the circle and the kitchen staff were inside the circle preparing the dishes, so they could watch every customer easily. It was not Western food, but dim sum style and included salads and desserts.
Back in the 60's and 70's, in Corona NY, across from Lefrak City, such a diner existed. So fun remembering the choo choo deliver my burgers along the counter. Thanks for the memories
There used to been a sushi restaurant On Shangxiajiu in Guangzhou which used trains instead of a conveyor belt. In Guiyang, there was a hot pot restaurant that delivered dishes in small boats on a flowing stream that stretched throughout the premises.
Hmmm not sure i would want my uncovered food travelling all around a restaurant where other diners could possibly cough, sneeze or breathe all over it (though i did see it was mostly covered thankfully). Also what do you do when the train arrives with the wrong food on it?
Totally speechless. From an Obsession to Execution of an idea... Hats off to the person(S) who did this and doing this....Would love to spend some time in there....
Fascinating & very Hi-tech! Like being in a big old railway terminus and getting our orders delivered to our seats by fully automated, computer-controlled toy goods trains! The only boring part is that all customers have to be seated in very long straight lines, because group seating is obviously not possible in this technical scenario. If the larger space may be available and if the train lines can be moved away from the end walls, by few feet, then they can and should be able to incorporate few railway station type of waiting rooms, at intervals, in which the passengers will be able to sit in a cluster and enjoy their meals. Wondering what's the name of this unusual, but not necessarily strange eating place, who runs it and who's the real brains trust behind the train delivery idea? Does anyone know why all Techniq videos remain ambiguous and frustrating, only because they don't come with proper voiceover commentary?
Yes, it's great. Because, the food you ordered passes in front of so many other people until it arrives in front of you, how do you know that other people are not throwing their breath, spit or other things on your food or drinks or squirting? It's really hygienic and wonderful.
Than don't eat there I think it's neat. Also easy to fix. Just get the sealed plastic lids with straws sealed on the side, lids for food also and bam no more micro spit
So cool! ...In Rio we had a fast-food restaurant where food was prepared upstairs. A large, helical ramp connected both floors, and waiters on roller skates brought the food down to ground level. Eating burgers was half the fun. Watching skate-borne waiters as they zipped down the ramp at high speed without spilling a drop of pop was equally fun.
Heh..sounds like the restaurant version of ' Starlight Express ' but.. I remember eatin' @ some place w/rolling waitresses; think my gal was new as she barely stayed upright..
I would love to see a video about how this system works. It would be interesting to know how the server controlling the trains knows the position of each train, when to activate different junctions for the trains to reach their destinations, etc. It seems like it would be really interesting on the software side.
I absolutely love this idea and I definitely would want to visit if I'm ever in Prague! But LOL @ 4:57, imagine if that wasn't their order and those customers just stole a fry as the train rolled by. Like seriously, what's stopping customers from stealing a fry from a moving train passing them?? HAHA 😂🤣
I looked this up. It’s in Prague and it’s called “Vytopna.” And there’s another one in Vienna. Burgers, steaks, sides, wine, beer, and stuff I can’t understand because I can’t read Czech.
This restaurant is in Prague Czech Republic. Amazing to see the civility and property actions by the customers to have open food and drinks pass them without touching it. In the US this would NEVER be allowed. The food would be played with, tainted, spilled, touched, contaminated, or out right stolen before it arrived at the correct customer. I have been to a few restaurants in the US that server by train but they are protected behind plexiglass until they arrive at your table and a little door unlocks to allow you access to your food.
In the 1960's, NYC had a restaurant called "The Hamburger Train" that served meals on HO scale trains. Only counter service could handle the trains. Sadly, it didn't last.
Sorry, don't want my exposed food or drinks traveling past 30 other people when the restaurant is full. In todays society, you never know what some nutty freak is tossing in your food or drink as it passes by them.
This is wonderful! Also quite a complex opperation I'd imagine. I do a very much simpler version feeding the birds and hegehogs in the garden. it keeps me amused and I've never had any complaints from my customers.
I love stuff like this, mixing occupational hobbies and food. Bring kids here so they can learn to respect the train toy servers, and let them understand the nature of its quality service. Prague is doing it right!
Growing up, when we had to go into the city. My dad would take me to the Choo Choo restaurant in Des Plaines Illinois. The hamburgers were delivered along the counter by trains, that came out of a tunnel from the kitchen.
This restaurant is in Prague, Czech Republic 🇨🇿. I don't remember how it's called, but know it's somewhere on the downend side of Wenzelsquare, in the centre of Prague. Very good food and ofcourse excellent beer!!! ⬇️
Great novelty. But in general I don't want a lot of strangers breathing on my food, nor do I want trains continually running in front of me while I'm eating.
There's a Korean owned sushi restaurant in Leonia, New Jersey, that puts sushi on a train as oppose to the popular conveyor belt method. It's smaller, low tech and simpler than this Prague restaurant's version. However, the nice thing about this sushi restaurant's train head is that it actually makes the train "chuga chuga" sound and blows smoke from its smokestack. So cool. Do wish the restaurant was a bit bigger as it does get super crowded during its peak times.
Amazing, only thing I see they need is the area where they load the food onto the train cars is a simple re-railer to easily and quickly align wheels to the track, otherwise I love it and obviously so do their customers !
There are two places In Wisconsin U.S.A. that has this. They are P.C. Junction (Door County) and Buffalo Phil’s (Wisconsin Dells). Both are very fun places with great food!!!
Use to be a restaurant in Seattle that did the same. It was totally way cool. Always wanted to go back but it never worked out. A friend from church has tracks running through his house and backyard, another totally cool thing.
It is very cool concept. The only thing I would like is for the glasses & chips to be covered with something in transport process as one's enemy can easily slip something in a glass on route to your table and I would not like someone to sneeze on any of my food or beverages...
There's a few restaurants I've seen do something like this, but this is the only one that seems to use actual off-the-shelf G-scale equipment to deliver food, the others use custom large-scale models. There's apparently another one that does use off-the-shelf models but they only use them for drinks.
Cool video about these model trains delivering food at a restaurant. This is quite unusual to be honest. Quite impressive to see this going on. All these locomotive models look more European or Asian.
PCJunction, Door County (Peninsula Center) Wisconsin has this too but in a much more down home country feel. Lots of things for the littler ones to do outside too. They serve a very good burger.
Mad respect to those train drivers. It takes a lot of guts to haul freight tons of food in front of giants for a living.
What's a freight ton?
And not get eaten jk
they're model citizen

Eating burgers was half the fun. Watching skate-borne waiters as they zipped down the ramp at high speed without spilling a drop of pop was equally fun.
Heh..sounds like the restaurant version of ' Starlight Express ' but..
I remember eatin' @ some place w/rolling waitresses; think my gal was new as she barely stayed upright..
Train restaurant in germany: You will starve (cause Train is late "Verspätung") 😂
Germany is known 4 late trains :))
Tim marketing yang sangat bagus
This is epic! Who wouldn't dig this? Mad respect to the Owner and techs that keep the place going.
I would love to see a video about how this system works. It would be interesting to know how the server controlling the trains knows the position of each train, when to activate different junctions for the trains to reach their destinations, etc. It seems like it would be really interesting on the software side.
I absolutely love this idea and I definitely would want to visit if I'm ever in Prague!
But LOL @ 4:57, imagine if that wasn't their order and those customers just stole a fry as the train rolled by. Like seriously, what's stopping customers from stealing a fry from a moving train passing them?? HAHA 😂🤣
Nothing, but then you can take REVENGE and steal one of theirs later!! :D
Oh yes, my plates passing in front of 20+ strangers chit-chatting, sneezing and eating right above the tracks... what could possibly go wrong?
There was a restaurant in Seattle called the "Iron Horse Restaurant" that delivered food this way. I wonder if it still exists.
I looked this up. It’s in Prague and it’s called “Vytopna.” And there’s another one in Vienna. Burgers, steaks, sides, wine, beer, and stuff I can’t understand because I can’t read Czech.
This restaurant is in Prague Czech Republic. Amazing to see the civility and property actions by the customers to have open food and drinks pass them without touching it. In the US this would NEVER be allowed. The food would be played with, tainted, spilled, touched, contaminated, or out right stolen before it arrived at the correct customer. I have been to a few restaurants in the US that server by train but they are protected behind plexiglass until they arrive at your table and a little door unlocks to allow you access to your food.
uh, no
Fake facts. I go to a sushi spot with a huge train belt of open air fresh raw fish. Sign out of RUclips Karen. Thanks ✌️🇺🇸
I would not like my food traveling around the restaurant in front of other customers, grabbing french fries, sneezing on it.
There's always one and today it's you. 🤬
In the 1960's, NYC had a restaurant called "The Hamburger Train" that served meals on HO scale trains. Only counter service could handle the trains. Sadly, it didn't last.
Strange! This is OUTSTANDING!
If the trains were run by Amtrack, the food would arrive cold and late.
sometimes derailed
Sorry, don't want my exposed food or drinks traveling past 30 other people when the restaurant is full. In todays society, you never know what some nutty freak is tossing in your food or drink as it passes by them.
This is wonderful! Also quite a complex opperation I'd imagine. I do a very much simpler version feeding the birds and hegehogs in the garden. it keeps me amused and I've never had any complaints from my customers.
I love stuff like this, mixing occupational hobbies and food. Bring kids here so they can learn to respect the train toy servers, and let them understand the nature of its quality service. Prague is doing it right!
This restaurant borrowed the idea from Japanese conveyor belt sushi restaurants, right?
😂🍣🍔
Growing up, when we had to go into the city. My dad would take me to the Choo Choo restaurant in Des Plaines Illinois. The hamburgers were delivered along the counter by trains, that came out of a tunnel from the kitchen.
This is one of the smartest ideas I have ever seen to keep people entertained while in a restaurant.
definitly on to do list. bravo.
This restaurant is in Prague, Czech Republic 🇨🇿.
I don't remember how it's called, but know it's somewhere on the downend side of Wenzelsquare, in the centre of Prague.
Very good food and ofcourse excellent beer!!!
⬇️
There's another one from the same chain in Vienna. The burgers were good!
My kids would love this place!!
Great novelty. But in general I don't want a lot of strangers breathing on my food, nor do I want trains continually running in front of me while I'm eating.
There's a Korean owned sushi restaurant in Leonia, New Jersey, that puts sushi on a train as oppose to the popular conveyor belt method. It's smaller, low tech and simpler than this Prague restaurant's version. However, the nice thing about this sushi restaurant's train head is that it actually makes the train "chuga chuga" sound and blows smoke from its smokestack. So cool. Do wish the restaurant was a bit bigger as it does get super crowded during its peak times.
鉄橋やリアル路線の列車デザインが良いですね。
This is super cool, what a wonderful idea. Great for the person who started this, well done!
It makes me wonder what's next? Food delivered by drones! By toy rockets! I am waiting to see
That's great, but what stops unscrupulous patrons from helping themselves to your fries before they reach your table?😠
Amazing, only thing I see they need is the area where they load the food onto the train cars is a simple re-railer to easily and quickly align wheels to the track, otherwise I love it and obviously so do their customers !
There is a restaurant in Wisconsin Dells that does this as well, Buffalo Phils. Been there a few times great food and decor.
There are two places In Wisconsin U.S.A. that has this. They are P.C. Junction (Door County) and Buffalo Phil’s (Wisconsin Dells). Both are very fun places with great food!!!
This is almost like a Sushi bar conveyor belt, but way better - I love the idea of this ❤❤❤❤❤
There was a restaurant in park Chester Bronx ny in the 50’s. I ate there when I was a kid. Great concept loved it.
as a model train fan, i APPROVE of this, and i really love trains.
Use to be a restaurant in Seattle that did the same. It was totally way cool. Always wanted to go back but it never worked out. A friend from church has tracks running through his house and backyard, another totally cool thing.
It is very cool concept. The only thing I would like is for the glasses & chips to be covered with something in transport process as one's enemy can easily slip something in a glass on route to your table and I would not like someone to sneeze on any of my food or beverages...
I immediately knew this was the one in Prague, so iconic!
You should see the one in KC. The trains go up around the ceiling and your food lowers down from the ceiling along the wall. It is sick.
There was a restaurant in Huntington LI,NY.back in the 1970s that served food to its customers on model trains.
There's a few restaurants I've seen do something like this, but this is the only one that seems to use actual off-the-shelf G-scale equipment to deliver food, the others use custom large-scale models. There's apparently another one that does use off-the-shelf models but they only use them for drinks.
I didn't see any leaves on any of those tracks, I'm impressed!
We were there last December, 8 of us....waiter was not friendly at all, but still we had fun!... we were so happy..like children receiving Xmas gifts😂
Cool video about these model trains delivering food at a restaurant. This is quite unusual to be honest. Quite impressive to see this going on. All these locomotive models look more European or Asian.
Funny that. Being as it is in Praha, (Prague in English), which is European. Czech Republic to be precise. The home of the great Škoda cars.
Amazing concept brilliantly executed
PCJunction, Door County (Peninsula Center) Wisconsin has this too but in a much more down home country feel. Lots of things for the littler ones to do outside too. They serve a very good burger.
Amazing! I was thinking about something like this at a sushi bar that had converyer belts going around delivering food. If I'm ever in Prague...
The train's horn is too precious 💕
It's not strange, it's cool! I wish we had a restaurant where I live like that. Since I love trains, I'd be there every week.
