Going about building a Local Bar and Restaurant the right way!! They consistently deliver with their food and Drink. Sunday Brunch is the best!!! read more

We decide to eat here after reading great reviews and were not disappointed. It's a great little place with good food. They have a nice selection of craft beers to wash down their menu items. I had the southern style pulled pork and my boyfriend had their burger. We both enjoyed our meals however the burger was a little small. Just make sure to get an app if you get the burger. We will be going back for sure! read more

Very good food and very good beer selection but the seating is horrible. The waitstaff tends to have a small bit of attitude sometimes but overall it's a nice place to go read more

My boyfriend suggested eating here for dinner one night. It was definitely a good decision. First off they have a good selection of craft beers. When we asked our server about them, she knew what she was talking about. Got the wings for an appetizer. They were absolutely delicious! For the meal I got fish and chips and he got the duck. The only complaint I could give was the server rang in flat bread instead of fish and chips. She was quick to correct it and apologize though. She handled the situation correctly and within no time I had my fish and chips. Other than that our server was excellent. Since we went for dinner on a Sunday we didn't have a problem but I would definitely suggest getting to this place early on a weekend night. Looks like it fills up quickly! read more

Great place for drinks and food but beware, it's so good you're not likely to find a table on a weekend

Food is ranked very high on my list. Small place with a French old time feel. Windows open wide during day hours. Only beer and wine but whatever. Unique food with a lot of taste. I don't like Friday and Saturday night because it is jammed. read more

This was a great find- went here one night on the recommendation of a coworker when my boss was visitng from out of town. It was a Tuesday and the place was hopping. We waited at the bar for about 20 minutes for a table. It was worth it! Menu is great and seems to incorporate local produce, etc. I had the curry which was fantastic amd so big I took a lot home for dinner the next day. They don't take reservstions, whic is a bummer but it is well worth the wait. Also, don't be alarmed by the look of it on the outside (not the most attractive looking), it is great! read more

Beers and mixed drinks are always excellent, and not too overpriced for such an establishment. Unfortunately, the food does not live up to that standard. As vegetarians, there are only a few items on the menu available, and they tend to be executed poorly. Yesterday I had the cinnamon bun, and it was worse than I could get in a grocery store. It cost $6. The menu boasts how they try to buy local ingredients 'when available' or something similar, but I suspect they buy a handful of items during the summer, and the bulk of their ingredients come from the same distributor that serves the diner down the street. All of that is just a way to advertise on their menus that they 'buy local'. This place needs to decide if they are going to be a bar that serves cheap bar food, or a restaurant that will hire a good chef and buy quality ingredients. I will pay more for legitimate local food, properly prepared, but I won't pay the same price for crap I could get at a dive bar a few minutes away. read more

I had an incredible salmon pea risotto there and I am still trying to recreate it. Amazing!

Th station taproom is a great place for a drink and dinner. The food is good. The menu changes but everything I have tried has been good. Specially the mussels, the Thai Red Curry, Quesadilla, burger. A mix of food from around the world to meet your craving. read more

Food is pretty good, but the beer/whisky selection is really good. My complaint is that this place is way too small. I can hardly ever get in, and I have to stand shoulder to shoulder when I do. They need to do something about that for me to be a regular. read more

My boyfriend and I wandered into the taproom around 4 pm on a Wednesday because we were killing some time and waiting for the train into the city. We were pleasantly suprised at the hip and modern vibe and also to see local artists' photography adorning the walls. The bartender, Sean, who also happened to be the owner, offered a warm greeting and we got started with his unfiltered belgian wheat. When it was time to grub, Sean suggested a few things, all of which we ordered. We got a chicken satay with peanut dipping sauce, truffle fries, and a 3 cheese plate that had a huge range of cheeses to choose from. Overall, everything was great...service-wise and food-wise. Station tap is a much needed spot in Downingtown and I'm glad I found it. read more

The food is delicious and the beer list is always changing and always good!

This place has great food with local ingredients and seasonal specials. The beer selection is amazing. The atmosphere is cozy and features local artwork, but since it is so small plan on waiting for awhile in cramped quarters for a table. read more

Plain and simple - this is a great place. Don't want to get all wordy - simply a great pub

This place is awesome. Great beer selection and foods always amazing. Cant beat the pulled pork samiches. The food from local farms which is really great. The art work always changes and is for sale which is really cool. read more

Station Taproom is one of the best places to grab quality creative food at reasonable prices. They are always on top of the service and do it with a lot of smiles. The beers on tap are always enjoyable and some may surprise you. Thank you and please keep it up. Ps they treat families very well. read more

I had visited after a roller derby scrimmage. Still, the late night fare was pretty decent. I had a cold Victory Beer and some fries with sea salt, infused with mushrooms. Talk about absolutely yum. read more

As good as it gets. Killer beer selection, great atmosphere, and the Truffle Fries are DYNAMITE!

Truffle fries and duck confit were knee buckling fantastic. My wife's shrimp and grits were great as well (I stole a few bites). Parking isn't great or well lit but the food and great service make up for this minor issue. read more

We ordered a round of drinks, our waitress was in a bad mood so we asked her if she was ok, she responded with, "are your going to order because i don't have time for this". My friends and i laughed at her because it was so ridiculous. So we ordered. When we asked to talk to the manager she was rude as well and basically told us to go somewhere else if we had an issue (Very Unprofessional). We didn't want to leave so we went to order another drink and the waitress said that her manager flagged us!?!?!? So we asked to speak with her again, she said that we were visibly intoxicated... This was at 11:30am, one of my friends does not drink. So we laughed at her and left. When i contacted the owner he basically responded with don't come here anymore find somewhere else. I don't know who the hell he thinks he is, but don't go to this place, ANYONE READING THIS DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE BUSINESS. UNLESS YOU WANT TO WATCH THE TOUR DE FRANCE because they also have an issue with changing the channel to a real sport. read more

Several problems. The first one being a really snarky male bartender (Ted). My friends have actually avoided this place just because of him. As soon as we sat at the bar (hadn't even pulled the chair in yet) he asked what we wanted. When I told him I needed a minute to look at the chalkboard he said " k great it's not like I have anything else to do". He seemed annoyed at us being there at all. The restaurant was not very busy given the holiday weekend. Usually with people like this I just try to kill them with kindness and kill whatever kind of bug has crawled up their ass but No amount of politeness would change this guys attitude. Second problem of the Evening was the Greek salad special I ordered topped with " pickled shrimp". Thing is, they weren't pickled or ceviched but pink on the outside and raw throughout. I eat sushi and raw oysters but I don't eat raw shrimp. When I politely brought this to his attention he took the plate and said he would have the chef throw it on the grill and then condescendingly told me " I am not going to say your wrong but this is pickled shrimp". Sorry Ted, it's not. I told him I am a cook and understand how to ceviche seafood and fish and that this was done incorrectly. We will never go back to this gastropub again, service is a big part of eating out and no place with employees like this deserves a recommendation or a repeat visit. It's too bad about this guy because we have been there previously and had a nice server ( at a table) and pretty good food. If you decide to go there anyways, get a table so you don't have to deal with him and avoid ordering seafood they consider pickled . read more

Terrible service. The staff and management were extremely rude. I even wrote to the owner about what a bad experience we had, and he basically said he could care less. SO unprofessional. I would never go back and will tell all my friends and family never to go. If I could give a negative rating I would. read more

When we have to pick someone up at the train station, we always go an hour early so that we can enjoy the station taproom. They have a great beer selection and the bartenders are knowledgeable and eager to help with recommendations. It is a bit on the small side and can fill up quickly but we have always found a seat and were comfortable. The food is really good and I would highly recommend this place read more

We wouldn't know what the food tastes like. 3 times now my family and I went into the front door and waited.......and waited to put our name in for a table. The staff just buzzed by and ignored us. We just left angry the first 2 times. Last Friday night I called to see what kind of wait they had and the person on the phone said they only had one name on the list for a wait. We walked in the front door and yet again we were totally ignored. I finally had to stop a server and she put our name in. A table opened up shortly afterward but two young girls walked in the door and were immediately shown the table. After I inquired they said, "oh, they had their name in before yours." We waited another 30 mins standing right in the middle of the restaurant and nobody stopped to even give us an update. The place is easy to fill up because it's so small. It's also very noisy. After waiting a total of about 45mins we again left angry. 3 strikes and your out Station Taproom. We'll never go back. If they ignore you when you walk in the door, I have to wonder what their table service is like. We'll never find out. read more

Good, creative food but on our second visit there, the bartender was so unbelievable rude that we walked out. And the more people we tell about it, the more we find that others have had the exact same experience! What is UP with that? Too bad; so few places like this in the immediate area. Not worth the abuse. read more

Love this place. Excellent custom made dishes. Never the same menu. Always coming up with amazing entrees. Two thumbs up

We went to the Station Taproom last night for dinner. It is on the corner across from the train station in Downingtown, there is good parking on the street or in the municipal lot. The place is small and a bit noisy but we didn't mind that so much as the pub has a lot of energy and a sparse but nice decor. It was very crowded for a Thursday at 8 PM, the only seats available were at the bar. We were happy to find two seats at the small bar, my husband mentioned that we wanted to start with a few cocktails (unfortunately for us a bad choice of words), at which the bartender pronounced that they DO NOT serve cocktails!! He directed our attention to the chalk board and barked that they only served beer, wine and whiskey. I felt like I had just walked into a scene from "Its a wonderful Life" where Nick says to George....we only serve hard liquor to men that want to get drunk fast!. Well we were there to have a beer and a glass of wine.....but never got to that point before the bartender jumped down our throats. I wondered if he was the owner since I couldn't imagine any employee being allowed to talk to customers in that manner. Needless to say it was NOT a good first impression. My husband wanted to leave right then and there, but I wanted to try their food so I encouraged him to stay. The bartender's attitude did not improve over the evening They had a number of specials that sounded good,we ended up ordering the Red Thai Dish packed with tons of veggies and the Fish and Chips. The food, beer and wine were all very good and I would give this interesting out of the way pub a 4 to 5 stars if it weren't for the unfortunate treatment by the unsmiling staff and the rude bartender ( did I mention that he threw our drink coasters at us). We are not sure we will return, this is so unfortunate as we eat out often and entertain friends out often as well. We really did like the use of fresh and local ingredients and the gluten free items on the menu.......but no one wants to be treated rudely by the staff, especially in a restaurant. read more

My favorite local place. Food, beer and wine selections are consistently excellent. The service is attentive (with lots of personality) so, I'm always well taken care of. It's a popular spot, so expect to wait for a seat at rush hour and a high noise level, but have a drink and chill out. You probably don't want to bring a first date here at the busy times, but for drinks and or dinner/lunch/brunch with friends, (or the love of your life) you can't pick a better spot. read more

I absolutely love this place. I can't stop going to get brunch here! Amazing food and they are always switching their menu items time to time. I am never disappointed with the food or service. This doesn't even include the fantastic tap list they always have. Go here if you want a great experience! read more

We absolutely love this place. Great craft food and beer. Never had a bad experience and always felt welcome. The menu changes throughout the year and everything is made from fresh ingredients. We make the hour drive as often as we can!! Well worth a visit. read more

We have only been there once. Bacon Potato soup was great, hamburgers and fries were great, buffalo wings were great. All that being said, service was really bad. We had empty drinks all night. The bread pudding was awful. read more

Being from NYC I have seen many bars come and go. But this place is the real deal.It seems like they never run out of different beers for your to try. I am a beer idiot so I just stick with the simple stuff but this place is a place a true beer enthusiast can appreciate. The owners seem very cool, and the food is excellent. If you need me Ill be the guy at the bar who has had a little toomuch to drink. kudos to this place. read more

Great little bar. Excellent food. Sunday brunches are a treat. We've been there a dozen times, trying different menu items each time and we've never been disappointed. read more

Very small and because of this it is always loud... BUT having said that, the food is always amazing, a small menu but that's because everything is fresh and the chef is amazingly talented because everything tastes amazing. I would eat at station tap every week if I could! read more

Love this place! Their prices are very reasonable for freshly made, unique and delicious food! I am always surprised with the combination of flavors on my plate. read more

Who doesn't love the Taproom? Great gastropub food, awesome beer selection, cool atmosphere. Even good for brunch...

The food is excellent!!! I've been to the taproom several different times and have loved everything!! The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is because it's small, a little loud and parking can be a challenge. read more

Place is worth the hype!!! Food is amazing and the people that work there along with the crowd are so nice. Best atmosphere in the Exton/Downingtown area no doubt! read more

Went with a large group for brunch, and every meal was excellent, the bloody Mary's were strong, and the service was great. Only complaint(s) was chicken and waffles made with pulled chicken that had very very little chicken in it, and a la carte biscuits were just dreadfully flavorless and dry. Shrimp and grits was exceptional. PS-parking was ample. read more
