Everyone commented on how good the food was and we noted that everyone finished everything. And we got a table outside with great weather and a B25 and a B29 right at the building.

Very good Others had Scallops $26 King oyster mushrooms $29 Salmon $36 Garganelli $26 We shared the After Dinner Mint cake $13 Service was very good mostly by Shannon B. But others helped. They were also very nice to allow us to just sit and talk and watch planes. There were empty tables at this point but the still stopped by and offered water. So the extra effort got them the 5th star.

We arrived before our reservation so grabbed a seat at the bar. Came just in time for the tail end of Happy Hour and enjoyed a glass of wine and beer with the appetizers of truffle potato wedges and charcuterie. Loved the charcuterie especially the cheeses, but do wish the bread was sliced better. The potato wedges were piping hot but a bit too thick on the potato for me. We finally got seated and was pretty disappointed as I saw that the table they sat us at was open the entire time we were at the bar. I was told by the hostess that someone was sitting at our table when we arrived, but clearly that was not true. I was grateful that they didn't make us eat off the Restaurant Week menu and I got the gargenelli pasta. It was a nice pasta dish with the goat cheese and the toasty bread crumbs. I didn't taste any of the n'duja though the waitress said it was in the sauce. Overall a nice dinner but do wish the service was as good as it was in the bar area.

I can only envy the locals for having access to the 1881 unlike this 'soon to be home New Yorker'. I had the Wedge Salad, which was covered generously in fresh tomatoes, all the bacon and blue cheese crumbles one could wish; and the add-on grilled chicken breast was truly unbelievably good!! All large lunch salads I've ever had could only wish they were so good. Impeccable table service, but there's also a large bar and plenty to look at in the beautifully restored Station Head house. Going to the train station for dinner if you're not traveling seems like an odd choice, but I truly encourage you to make it. I needed greens after two days of Amtrak food, but everything read well on the menu. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with whatever you choose.

We both grew up in NYC's suburbs/ worked in manhattan until 2000 and then moved to VA MN FL and back to MN. The well discussed homeless situation we find in outstanding meticulous control by the very attentive St Paul Police who know the community on a first name basis. (Weekends you don't see them, and during the week only spotted. They never approach us.). I have worked with the impoverished communities in Harlem, Boston, Richmond, Va and Mn as a volunteer and a few full time positions in Boston. Catholic charities has done a REMARKABLE job supporting/effectively aiding the entire homeless community in the Twin Cities! As a result, we are very comfortable walking anywhere during the day and early evening. So with great joy we joined hundreds of others on St Paul's famous " Train Days" with family and grandson. Then we went to 1881 for a light lunch for the first time. They were happily packed, and all the diners were voraciously downing their meals for a considerable time. I saw a beautiful " fish and chips platter" and will definitely come back to try it for dinner. The setting, ambiance are stellar! The main majestic thrilling lobby of this venerable giant ELEGANT old train station-- more beautiful than NYC and Boston's but similar to those in the Canadian Rockies ( took the Canadian Pacific northern route in 1970 w 70 lb backpack fr Vancouver to Detroit... unforgettable). This majestic rare location....makes the dining experience unique and wonderous! We both had excellent martinis expertly prepared and their famous French onion soup and salads. Our family ate croissant sandwiches and a wonderful egg dish. Beautiful exhilarating awe inspiring places like this have almost completely disappeared all across the USA. Old world cooking and meticulous good delicious seasoning is also FAST disappearing. Places like this desperately NEED us to survive. HIGHLY recommend!!! Enjoy!

Not only was it delicious, but it was a slightly healthier option than the usual steak fries I order. Lastly, I ordered the ribeye steak covered in mushrooms and onions. It was outstanding ! The ambiance of the place was lively and loud, but still good vibes ! At the end of my visit I asked for peanuts to go and the waitress brought me 2 bags! I will be back!

The service we received was amazing! 5 of the 6 of us ordered steak, while I ordered chicken. All of the food was good, my favorite being the butter for the rolls! (I didn't eat any plain though.) I had called ahead, and Roadhouse was totally cool with us bringing in our own dessert to celebrate the occasion. They also brought clean plates and forks for us, and they brought out 2 brownies for my in-laws (which we're dubbed as "delicious!"). The only thing that wasn't great about the experience was the noise level. It was quite loud for all of us and shouting was the method of communication. This isn't my typical restaurant choice, but I'd go back with others. Maybe at a less busy time.

I typically get the Blackberry Mule and my husband prefers the Smokin' Peach Old Fashioned. I have always felt that the little details matter and you can tell when someone puts the effort in to get them right, the bartenders at Crave always remember the little details! The food is also amazing, we have gone just for the happy hour deals but we also recently got to try the Wednesday steak dinner which was very good. My steak was a little overdone and I felt bad for judging it before I took a bite, because it turned out to be so well-seasoned and flavorful that I no longer cared about the temperature level. Overall, I love this location and the cool casual vibe. I always appreciate the kindness and thoughtfulness from the staff!
