The Station 81 burger is on the Happy Hour menu for $6. We ordered 4 of them. Not bad for a $6 burger but wouldn’t want to pay full price. Unfortunately, the Happy Hour burger has the same name as on the menu. Guess which price they charged? Staff said the Happy hour one didn’t come with a side and had only 1 patty. Tried to say she’d told us (she didn’t), then just said “Have a nice day” and walked away. Be sure you know what you’re ordering.

Do not get a wedding or catered event from this establishment. Poor and inept service and management. Angel is the only person who knew how to properly run this dive bar/restaurant and was always the best bartender. Many of her regulars will miss her as she was let go for no reason. She never had any infractions or write up and was the only out going professional person in the unnoticeable poorly run place.

I ordered ahead. Burger fries and wings were perfect. I would like a hotter buffalo sauce option but the wings were cooked perfect. Blue cheese dressing… amazing…Wait-staff was great.

I got the white bean minestrone and the fried brussel sprouts. The soup is very good, and I really liked the fried brussel sprouts. Great place to duck into to stay out of the rain.

The only quality professional service at this so called restaurant/ bar is the bartender named ANGEL not well stocked or professional environment from anyone other than her… She is the only reason to patronize this hole in the wall

I picked up lunch at Station 81 this afternoon and was blown away! It was quick and easy to order for take out and pick up but more importantly it was one of the best spicy fried chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu.

Relatively unknown little restaurant inside union depot with great food and service. Chicken wild rice soup and their Brussel sprouts are excellent.

Great place to eat and meet people who are travelling. Conversations are abundant and staff is really helpful and friendly. Their food is worth it.

We had a terrible experience. We waited for 20 minutes and watched others get waters and have their orders taken. I finally went to the bar and asked if we could get a server to come by. The guy seemed annoyed. I don’t think he realized we had been there for a long time. . The server came over and was nice but we watched others come and go and get their food. At one point a man walked over with 3 waters and gave two to my kids and walked away with the other water. We finally asked them to cancel our order after waiting over an hour and a half and watching all the tables turnover twice. They clearly forgot to put our order in. Everyone else seemed to be having a decent experience but I would not recommend.
