Loved this place! Friendly, fast service, the food was tasty, and the portions are generous. My family and I came here for lunch on a Saturday while passing through on our way home from a vacation. It's got a beautiful wood bar when you first walk in and just has a welcoming feeling. We were seated right away and our friendly server took our drink orders shortly after that. We ordered the fried calamari appetizer to start, which was very good and disappeared in a matter of minutes once it arrived. My husband and I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and fries to share. We both enjoyed it and the portion was just right for the two of us. My boys ordered the fish and chips and the Service Station burger. Their plates weee nearly empty by the time they were done! Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a good meal in Jamestown.

Delicious ribeye steak. Highly recommended!
Casey C.

The restaurant is a GEM, best restaurant in the area. Friendly service, amazing food, and lovely ambiance. The ribeye steak, fish & chips, and wings are highly recommended! We will definitely be back.

Epic fish and chips

What a lovely find! We had a dog with us so we needed a place with outdoor seating. Great back patio seating with shade, cool mist, and fans on a hot summer day. Water bowls for your furry companion. Surprisingly good food and excellent service!

We love The Service Station, but have not dined here in awhile .... chalk it up to Covid..... because if not for Covid disruption, this is one of best places in the Sonora, Jamestown, and Murphys for quality food and beer/wine. Today, very ably, funny, and entertainingly served by Debbie (an absolute hoot!)), the food, as usual, was top shelf. As often, the Great Gal and I shared our meal, going with a cold, crisp Caesar Salad, top with large shredded parmesan cheese which really popped the flavor. And somehow, someway, Kathleen (owner) and crew found a way to bring an authentic Philly Cheesesteak to the West, with a slight twist, using a Pabano pepper instead of a green pepper. It was lick your plate good!!! I am waiting for a slice of pumpkin cake as I make these comments. No doubt it will be yummy!

Ice cold beers on tap

What an unexpected surprise! We were bored in the valley and I was craving burgers and beers. Saw the reviews on this place so we decided to give it a try. The food was above average! Like really really good! Also had a nice assortment of ice cold beers on tap. Not to mention how cool this place is. Old town for sure. We will be back!!!

Bar!

Always a great spot! Never been disappointed by their gracious service and tasty bites. Great place and our go-to stop anytime we're in the area. Larry has a great team and we always love to sit with Debbie at the bar. See you next time!

Perfect place to bring the pups!
Barbara M.

Yummy food. Great location and LOVED they catered to our pups on the patio! Just wish they served a few more onion rings with their additional fee

Station dip was amazing but the real seller was the Mac and cheese appetizer. We got ours with jalapeno and bacon; it was to die for.

The service was kind and swift, and when there was an error with our bill, they were quick to resolve it. We are now part of the many who will recommend you try The Smoke Cafe.

The portions are generous (if you are a senior with a smaller appetite they have a senior portion on some menu items at a reduced price). They offer indoor & covered outdoor dining. There is also a daily specials board with dishes not on their regular menu. Today I had their cranberry coconut banana bread pudding breakfast (from the specials menu). It came with choice of breakfast meat & 2 eggs. Loved it! I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a solid breakfast at a good price. They offer a lunch menu too, but I am all about breakfast. Yum!

There were long lines after 7pm here and pretty much only one cashier taking orders. While ordering took some time, the food came out within 10-15 minutes, so not too bad. I went with their smashburger, which was decent but didn't have much flavor. I think it needs more salt though. It was the type of burger that will satisfy the craving but not something I'd be rushing back for again and again. I also got some chicken tenders and fries. Fries weren't fresh and low key soggy. The tenders were fine but leaned heavy into the breading vs the chicken. The sauces were solid though. I liked the bbq, buffalo, and honey mustard. For a family of 5, we were able to feed everyone for just under $100, which honestly is not terrible in 2026. The food does what it needs to do to provide some sustenance before or after some gambling in the casino.

We love this place ... best hamburgers, great salads, wonderful specials…read more The portions are generous making the meals a good value. The wine list can satisfy the pickiest of palates. The option to sit outside makes this a great choice for summer evening dinners , but indoors is comfortable . It can be a tad loud if it is a busy time of day so for the hearing impaired that could be a challenge but ask if you could sit on the wine side , it is a little quieter. 90% of the time we have GREAT service but on occasion we have had to flag down server for help or to pay .

However, I Visited on Mother's Day with my daughter and sister and had a completely different experience. I have a gluten allergy, one daughter has gluten sensitivity, and my other daughter has celiac disease. We informed our waitress that we needed gluten-free options and were told they were out of gluten-free buns but had gluten-free sourdough. After double-checking, the chef confirmed it was gluten-free. Something didn't seem right, so we asked to see the packaging. Wheat was listed as an ingredient. Thankfully, we caught the mistake before eating it. Unfortunately, when our food arrived, two of the gluten-free meals were still served with gluten-containing items, including a flour tortilla and the same bread we'd already identified as not gluten-free. The food itself was actually delicious, and I wish I could leave a more positive review based on that alone. However, for anyone with celiac disease, a gluten allergy, or a serious gluten sensitivity, accurate ingredient information is not optional--it's a health and safety issue. The repeated errors from both the kitchen and serving staff were extremely disappointing and left me with little confidence in their ability to safely accommodate gluten-free guests.

We went by today for a lunch and it was delish!!!…read more The menu is spacious. Lots and lots of breakfast and lunch options but I will say it's a bit expensive.

My friend got the Chicken Pesto Sandwich with their garlic fries and their ranch (which was home made I tried it. YUM) the food was juicy and the milkshake was creamy with real ice cream. Absolutely delish!!!! The service was great per usual! Our server I've had before who is hilarious, SUPER good at serving I swear can triple task. Plus he was good at bringing me Dr Pepper and gave me one to go. Extra points for that!!!! If there's one thing I loooove it's my drinks and the faster I get them fresh the happier I personally am!!! The ambiance is very casual and usually packed to the bone!! The residents of the area are all friendly, the girls working behind the bar are sweethearts it's decorated with country style everything! I saw a puppy in there named Kona, very relaxed atmosphere and comfortable I highly recommend if you're traveling and looking for somewhere good to eat off of the 108 with amazing service and food it's here!!!

I had the chicken sandwich, and it was quite bland and seemed to be missing seasoning. My partner enjoyed the fish, so that dish was a better experience. The biggest disappointment was the tzatziki. It tasted unusually sour, almost as if the yogurt had expired. I genuinely hope the kitchen tastes it before serving, as it didn't seem right. I did let the server know and she did let the kitchen know. I'm very familiar with Greek cuisine, and compared to what I've had elsewhere, the food here was unfortunately quite mediocre. I also noticed the owner's responses to other reviews. I hope the feedback isn't only acknowledged but also used to make meaningful improvements. I share these comments in the hope that they help make the dining experience better for future guests.
