It's always a good time at the Station. Have not missed a Monday in the past month once I found out about their Monday, Station Burger special; $5 burger with some great potato wedges. The sloppy joe burger is not very good and not worth it when they have much better menu items to choose from. Usually go out as a group during lunch with some coworkers and Ryan, our usual waiter, does everything as quick as possible knowing we need to head back soon. His service is efficient and very polite. Has never gotten our orders wrong, no matter how large the group. Ask for Ryan! read more

Dip sampler, barf! Bartender was nice, tried to be helpful, although he was eating chicken fingers the whole time..ok beer...they do have a nice outside area, and u can bring your dog read more

"I don't understand how the service is so consistently bad" -my girlfriend as I sit here writing this review. Prepare to wait a half hour to get a waiter once you sit down, and then enjoy some cold appetizers a half hour after that. Food is not bad. read more

Nice place, good food. The only complaint is the menu is pretty limited and the night i went they ran out of shrimp which eliminates several menu items. I can't remember what I ended up getting, obviously wasn't very memorable good or bad. The atmosphere was great. I did get kind of tired of being called "baby girl" as a 39 year old woman, so there is that. read more

I am never ever dissapointed when I go to The Station! The food is always fresh, the customer service is better than awesome and the atmosphere is so much fun. The Portobello sandwich is my go-to. The BF had the Chicken Salad wrap today. Huge portion and so delicious with pears and walnuts. Can't wait till my next visit! read more

The Station - Portobello Mushroom sandwich, chips and a mimosa. Happy Sunday Funday! - Salad Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Great place! Bestie and I shared the tasty dip sampler and enjoyed some draughts on the patio under the ceiling fan. All staff interactions were A+ and I can only imagine that you, too, would have a good experience here! April, the manager, stopped by and chatted for a while... super friendly gal. While we did not get entrées, all of the meals looked plenty generous and I'm pretty sure the other patrons were stuffed when they left. Look forward to coming back again! read more

Great little restaurant and a brill' location under the shade of some lovely trees.... we had a couple of appetizer dips and I had the pork belly sandwich, quite delicious. The staff were super nice (without being fake) and a big attaboy to our waitress Apryl!! I left my phone on the table and not less than 5 minutes later my wife's phone rang with Apryl on the line saying "You forgot your phone!" So, overall, a great place and great staff, I highly recommend! Good selection of seating too! read more

I have been to The Station several times and each time has been great. Even with the cold weather we have been having, the atmosphere at The Station is warm and friendly. That said... I can't wait to be there when it is warm and I can sit outside. I love this place! read more

The Station - Great patio! - Salad Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

A beautiful fall day to sit outside at The Station. Great outdoor seating and friendly service. The food....looks delicious and great presentation....but....it was just ok. It was average. The mac & cheese needed salt and the sloppy joe tasted ok, very tomatoey. It had wilted potato chips underneath the meat which kinda freaked me out because I thought I was eating paper. The spinach artichoke appetizer was soupy and not hot. Ate it but won't order it again. Overall, eh, again average. Expensive for average. read more

The Station - Sloppy Joe w/pimento cheese & Mac & Cheese - Salad Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Yum! One of our favorite spots in the entire Triangle. The pink peppercorn vinaigrette is the best salad dressing I've ever had. Hands down! read more

One of the best places to enjoy the weather while having very solid food. I realized on my last visit I have had nearly every item on the menu, most more than once. The location is within walking distance of DTR, but really reflects the Oakwood neighborhood it is in. The Mussels are my favorite appetizer, but the sampler platter of dips, or the charcuterie plate are a great way to start a meal. Among the entree's my personal favorite are their pork belly Banh Mi (recently voted one of the 500 best sandwiches US), Cuban and the portabella caprese sandwich. Full bar service, good selection of local beer and a surprisingly solid Blood Mary, even if you have to wait after Noon on Sunday to get one. Only downsides are kitchen timing on getting the food out and thickness/doneness of fries (house chips are amazing). Great place to sit and enjoy food and friends. read more

3rd Star is solely for the service. Our waiter was attentive and personable--we liked him a lot. As for the food, I'd give two stars. Salmon BLT was tasty, but the kitchen left the bacon off. Avoid the Banh Mi. A jumbled mess of fatty pork belly, stale bread and decent veggies. Way too large- they should slim the sandwich down and trim some fat off the pork belly. read more

Went here for a drink before prior reservations so didn't get to try the food. However menu looked great ... Heavy items like Mac n cheese, lasagna, chicken pot pie... Big appetizer night out. The decor and ambience is very cool. Somewhere between rustic and new age without annoying modern touch. Great staff. Good size bar ... Seating is limited so def plan ahead and make reservations. Beer wine and cocktails have a nice selection. Outside bar is amazing .... Lots of seating... Separate bar tending staff from inside. Lots of heaters. Can't wait to check back in spring. read more

Awesome locals place very casual Bahn mi. Sandwich is the best! Great. Staff. A must place for a delicious lunch or drink, lots of good beers and relaxing!!!! read more

I love everything about this area and The Station fits right in with the Oakwood charm. I'm looking forward to enjoying the outside patio when the weather warms up. I got a seat at the bar and ordered a delicious drink with just the right amount of spiciness thanks to a fresh jalapeño. The service was a bit disappointing; the bartender took my order and completely forgot about it until she came back to ask me what I wanted..again. We sat down at a little table and ordered the sampler dip which was very good. But the waiter also forgot my friends drink order and wasn't very apologetic about it. We both got the $5 burgers on special and those were spot on! Overall great food, pricy drinks and so-so service but.....the atmosphere made up for where The Station was lacking. read more

The location and exterior dining area are the best things about The Station. The food is the worst, unfortunately, followed by an uninspired beer and ale selection, majoring on pale brews without much to recommend them. The Chickety China sandwich was tough with little flavor. The hot catfish looked okay (but I did not taste it), and the Chicken of the Sea sandwich (mis-named, as it has no tuna) also featured dried out meat and bland tartar sauce. Service was reasonably good for a bar, but I would not return. There are lots better places for sandwiches and brew. read more

Great sandwiches. Each is an amazing, well thought out creation. Nice folks. There's an outside bar and one inside. Chimneas and Fire pits. Not a bad beer selection.... They try hard to find diverse selections. The sandwiches are amazing, as are the burgers, but.....yes, the sandwiches are amazing! read more

Waited 20 mins just to be asked, how many people In your party. There is no sense of management and waiter staff being organized. I gave this place a F! read more

The station is a really cool spot. It's atmosphere is the most appealing part of the experience. I've never had bad food and it's presented on large cutting boards. Really neat and it always tastes good. The staff at The Station has never been less than friendly, however it's been quite slow the few times I've been there. I'll certainly be back but it's never a quick process. Nice menu, bangin' apps, and large beer selection. read more

Seriously tasty food. I had portobello sandwich with roasted root veggies for $12. Lots of garlic. The cheese grits looked amazing. Don't settle for a side of chips or fries. You can get mac n cheese, veggies or a salad instead. Surprisingly, not a single omelet on limited brunch menu. Fresh, delicious food. Unique flavors, not the same old stuff. Quinoa salad, sloppy Joe's, black bean burger. Ate indoors. It was nice weather outside, but I didn't like all the smoke. Very casual environment, almost like a beach bar. Perfect for Sunday brunch with friends. Wasn't too busy. It's not clear where to park. There is no parking lot, and the corner street is a one way street. There's a vet's office right next store that's closed on Sundays, so that was a perfect spot to park. Service was good and friendly , but it wasn't swift. I would definitely go back when going downtown. read more

We decided to try this place for lunch on a weekday not knowing what to expect. There were five of us and we got assorted of items from the menu including burgers, salads and fried chicken. Not only was the food fantastic additionally the service was excellent. Can't wait to come back!! read more

This is probably my favorite burger and wine spot in Raleigh! Especially wine Wednesday...half price on all glasses and bottles of wine. If you get a chance to come check out the amazing bartenders CStephanie who is funny, talented, and great with customers and makes off the hook drinks. Also check ask for Taylor the server, great gal full of spirit and great customer service as well! Overall great place with amazing staff, superb management, food, drinks, and atmosphere. Come check it out! read more

Great patio to hang out on and grab a drink. Nothing overly special at the Station, but it's a nice little spot and I'm sure it's popularity is in part due to location and walkability. read more

We came on a Sunday because we wanted to sit outside. The outside area is nice, lots of seating. The food was delicious! Everything we ordered was yummy. They had 4 dollar bloody Mary's. Good experience. The only negative was that it took a while for our waiter to come. read more

We haven't been here in a few years only because we weren't impressed with the food, but thought we'd give it another chance and boy were we impressed! Not only was the service fantastic, but the food was phenomenal. We had the smoked salmon BLT and the Bhan Mi were awesome! They did not skimp on the smoked salmon and the fried pork belly on the Bhan Mi was out of the world. We will definitely be going back! read more

Don't go on a Tuesday. Don't try to park in the neighborhood. Just avoid. Tuesday trivia was so loud you can not have a conversation. Side streets are not public and they ticket. So many other place you could go. read more

We have been here two times, both for Saturday or Sunday lunch. I think the attraction here is all of the outside dining. They were very busy on both visits; the service is somewhere between OK and good. Not bad, just nothing to write home about. We have tried the black bean burger, the brown butter beer grilled cheese, and the sloppy joe sandwich. My wife liked the burger. The grilled cheese did not have enough cheese on it for my taste, and the sloppy joe sandwich was just passable. Fries were Ok. I think average or meh would best describe the food here. But as mentioned before, people don't come here for the food; it is the eclectic vibe and outside atmosphere. We probably will not return unless we are hell bent on sitting outside. read more

The Station has one of the best patios in all of Raleigh. They have enough fans and shade that it is even great in the heat of summer. The food is overall good and quite reasonably priced. Come to trivia on Tuesday's at 8 and enjoy the $2 domestic beer special. The categories can be all over the place, but it is always a good time. read more

Went by The Station for a late lunch on Sunday. Still too cold to sit outside, but it was easy to find a table inside for once. They were transitioning from Brunch to dinner menu, so had only Appetizers... Not that big of a deal, since we love their dips. They've gotten better each time. We went for the Spinach Artichoke and the Bacon Habanero Pimento. Both are now excellent, much improved over their first incarnations, which were pretty good to begin with. The best change was the pita; way better than the dry, hard crostini! We also got the Chipotle Chicken Tenders. These could be better; they were a bit dry, and over-breaded. The chipotle aioli was the best part; we had our server bring more. Glad that it's in the neighborhood, and that they keep improving the menu! read more

The food selection is limited, but [almost] all items are under $10! One of the few exceptions is the charcuterie, which is frankly worth it. There are several vegetarian friendly options and all sandwiches come with chips or fries. On Mondays, the station burger (two patties!!! served with LTO & America cheese and tons of free add ons) is only $5 -- so while my heart is always crying for the brown butter grilled cheese, I went for a Monday station burger. The patio seating and outdoor bar are the best (annnd dog friendly ). So give it a try, and ask for Ryan because he's the best. read more

Great place, great food, great atmosphere, great staff. The one and only outside bar in Raleigh is great. The specials are always good read more

My coworkers and I went here for lunch last week since it was close. The outside covered patio is the perfect spot on a nice day. I ordered the bahn mi since the waiter (who was incredibly friendly and helpful) said theirs was a winner or something a year or two ago. Well, I wish I'd gone with something else as the pork on it was nothing but a greasy mess of fat. I tried making myself eat it but eventually took the meat off to essentially have a roll with soma marinated slaw on it. At least the French fries were really good. It was disappointing as the first time I visited years ago my burger was good. My coworker ordered a sloppy joe and, luckily, before he bit into it he looked at the bottom of the bun and found black, fuzzy mold. He flagged the waiter who immediately rushed to the kitchen to get a new one made. The manager did come out and apologize and his meal arrived in just a few minutes. All in all, I'd probably just be back for the burger deal day or drinks. read more

Always have a great time at The Station. Bartender Stephanie keeps my drink full, is always attentive and we have a lot of fun talking to her there. I like to bring several friends when she is working. Oh... I also love the salads and especially the sloppy joe. Best in town! read more

I am a big fan of The Station. I stumbled on it totally by accident and happened to sample the mussels. Man, I have lived in Marseille, France and Barcelona, Spain. I know something about how mussels should taste. I have to tell you, The Station's rates with the best I ever had overseas or anywhere. I have had other things on The Station's menu, too and have always been very satisfied. But the thing that brings me back to a place is always more than anything else the people who work there - who wait on me - I have to say that. If the food is great and the drinks are terrific and I am not made to feel welcome, I am out of there and I don't come back. The primo thing about The Station are the people who work there and always make me feel like I've come home. So, more than anything else, I will keep coming back to The Station because of your people. I have a favorite. Everybody there is very nice and polite and friendly and accommodating. But my fav has to be a girl named Stefanie. This super cute blond is usually behind the bar and I know her to be a very exceptional bartender. I have asked her to make specialty drinks and she has always come up to the mark. She is always charming and nice and gets the drinks out super-fast and they are always better than most other places. Her Margaritas are dynamite - she makes Mint Juleps just for me - and I have noticed if things seem to be moving slow in the place she takes charge and gets the wait staff moving. I have the impression (with all due respect to the management) she could run the whole show with no help. My God, I think I'm in love. But that's why people keep coming back to places - that special someone on staff you can't forget. So, I live out of town. But I will be back again and again for your great mussels, the really good menu, your great "let-down-your-hair" atmosphere, your good drinks and Stefanie. read more

The patio is one of my favorite spots in raleigh. And the sloppy joe...not gonna lie I love that sloppy joe. Service is usually good.

The food is pretty good and they keep it changing with the menu and the outside seating is fantastic. The folks are nice and friendly. read more

Great outdoor bar and fantastic, friendly wait staff. We were a large group after work, and the server did an excellent job of accommodating our different orders and our need for separate checks. Good variety of beer on tap. This is a great place to chill after a long day. read more

I have been at The Station several times and have never been disappointed. My favorite dish has to be the Smoked Salmon BLT. It is just amazing, and if you pair it with the Thorny Rose Savignon Blanc it becomes outstanding. I can also recommend the Sloppy Joe and their burgers. The food is served in a laid back environment, and the employees are very sweet. I highly recommend this place both for lunch and dinner read more

First time here and definitely not disappointed. It was busy but we found a cozy spot on the expansive patio. We were promptly greeted and drink orders taken. Annalyn was our server and we all agreed that she was attentive and gave exceptional service. We would go here again just based on the service! The food is awesome as well. I had a burger which is their $5 special on Mondays. Two patties and various toppings on a delicious bun. Pretty amazing for $5. Others in the party had the grilled cheese with beer cheese and onions and the Cuban sandwich. Everyone loved their selections. Wedge fries and homemade chips were on point! Finished off with the carrott cake that I had read great reviews about. It was enormous and delicious. Made in house and totally can tell. Yum! read more

We ordered apps and entrees and waited on our food. The server delivered our apps and low & behold a roach ran by!!!! We jumped out the booth and waved the manager and server over. The manager smashed the roach with a napkin as though the entire situation was business as usual. With not even a single apology! NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
