Back in the 1950's there was on in Bay Shore LI that used Lionel to deliver the food. Went there a couple of times as a kid.
I would have thought the restaurant would be located in Hamburg...
My favorites which are fortunately near me are The Choo Choo Diner and Windmill Pancake Parlor and 2Toots Train Whistle Grill - you can still dine in a rail car at Chessie's
Hamburger Choo Choo in Huntington NY. Burned to the ground in a spectacular grease fire in the 90's. They had a track on the counter that would bring your order out from the kitchen.
Many years ago maybe 50's 60's there was a restaurant on Queens Blvd in Queens, NY that had a train deliver food.
I found this post from 2012; but I can’t open the link within.

"Many years ago maybe 50's 60's there was a restaurant on Queens Blvd in Queens, NY that had a train deliver food."
1950s Hamburger Express in Bayside on 73rd Avenue near Bell Blvd., too.
My favorite restaurant growing up near Des Plains, IL, was The Choo Choo. I recall it from the 70's. Food delivered by trains....what a fun time.
The Choo Choo in Des Plaines is still there.
It around 1969 or 1970 my dad took me and my brother to a diner in Blue Island, IL where a Lionel train would serve burgers and fries. Pretty cool for a 5 year old kid! 
At Snackville Junction on the southwest side of Chicago, your meal was served on a Lionel train. Sadly, they closed in '14.
I actually went to the restaurant in the video above in Prague around 2017. The food was quite good and the beer, being Czech was fantastic. I also had the opportunity to visit with ETS Trains in the southern part of the city. They were great hosts and I left with some very nice trains.

Went to the Choo Choo Desplaines, IL when I was young

Or Frankfurt.
