Cuisine Locally Sourced, Fresh and Organic Ingredients
The cuisine at The Rail Stop is renowned for its high quality and consistency, establishing the restaurant as one of Northern Virginia’s premier dining destinations. All breads, pastas, and desserts are made on-site, along with other items, to ensure a top-tier dining experience. We focus on using fresh, local, and organic products to craft our dishes.
Proprietor and Chef: Classically trained in Nashville, Tennessee, Sandy Freeman apprenticed at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel where she honed her craft and love of everything culinary. She dedicated the next several years in Nashville to refining her skills and developing a flare for Southern inspired cuisine.
Sandy’s culinary journey took her south, down the east coast with a brief stop in South Carolina, and then on to Florida where she opened a fine dining seafood restaurant on the gulf coast.
Sandy relocated to Northern Virginia and has been local ever since 2004 when she started working with Tom Kee at his second location, The Whistle Stop. In 2006, she helped open Claire’s At The Depot in Warrenton, VA. Sandy takes her creative inspiration from the seasons and locally sourced produce bringing rich flavors together with style and passion.
