The Station Bar & Grill

This place is horrible. There service is crap and the bartenders can’t even fill a draft beer without it being half foam.

Good night life as long as you don’t mind some UCF presence. Great deals so very affordable.

Annoyed from the second we walked in the door. There had to have been ten employees doing nothing but throwing a football, shooting each other with silly string, and cursing like they were at a frat party. My wife and daughter I went for a late lunch around 330 or 4 and the music was already loud although not loud enough not to hear one of the bar tenders say, «this silly string looks like you came on my tits». Not exactly something I want my ten year old listening to. Owner says this place is family friendly during the day which is flat out the furthest from the truth. Will not go back and will not recommend to anyone that has been thru maturity.

As soon as I walked in, I knew the place wasn’t for me. I was hit with a stench of throw up and the floor was sticky. My friends and I were determined to give it a shot though, so we sat down and ordered several things to share. The ribs had very miniscule meat on them, the potato skins were severely overcooked, the pita was stale and as hard as a brick, and the hummus was tasteless (can you even make tasteless hummus?). The burger was a good size, but overcooked, and the spinach dip was palatable. All the drinks we tried were terrible, but what do you expect with substandard well liquor and Coors Light through a tap that hadn’t ever been cleaned.
The only saving grace this place had (and why it’s 2 stars and not 1) was that all of the staff was friendly! There was also a stage in the back that looked like a good place to check out an electronica show, but I can’t imagine the amount of bodies and stench in there during something like that.

This place is gross. Puke on the floor, and really bad bartending. If your under 21, might like it, bcuz they’ll prob serve you.

Who knew this place was open for lunch?! Well now you know!
I have to say I was a bit apprehensive to try this restaurant at first, as it looked like a nightclub with its windows all blacked out. Thank goodness for the open doors showing us that there were signs of life inside. We were actually going to the plaza to try another restaurant at first.
The entrance smells a bit like old alcohol from the night before, but you get past that pretty quickly. The décor is very cool, and sports a NY subway type theme with lots of TVs around the bar area. The restaurant was pretty quiet. OK, my group of four were the only ones in there, but when I saw the menu, I decided that we would have to stay! The menu is not to extensive, or short, but has just enough of your favorite bar /​American type food items (burgers, fish and chips, flat-​breads, etc)
Since I was trying to eat a little healthier, I asked if they could modify the Buffalo sandwich, and they were happy to. I went with that and a side of Mac and cheese. We also got the truffle fries to share, and they are the bomb, They are lightly coated with a batter.
The food took a little longer to come out than I thought, but it was still within a reasonable time frame. The chef came out and asked us our opinions. That definitely shows me that they care. All of our meals were great, and I look forward to coming back and trying some more menu items. I really think that they need to advertise a bit more and get a bigger lunch crowd though.

Let’s be real. I’m pretty sure the review from Bakari is fake just because it is written like a marketer and they haven’t reviewed anything else.
That said. I’ll just list my thoughts.
1. The inside feels like a Disney themed restaurant, not that that is a bad thing. it’s spacious and clean. I didn’t have any problems with sticky floors!
2. The staff were friendly but barely came by the table. We were low on drinks for awhile and it took way too long to get our check, which doesn’t help when you’re there on a lunch break.
3. Don’t come here on your lunch break if you only get an hour. It took us about 40 minutes to get our food, and that was after waiting for our drinks and everything. My entire lunch break took about 1.5 hours and there was no good reason for it. There were barely any other people eating at the time.
4. I’d call ahead if you’re looking forward to something on the menu. They boast about making everything from scratch, but my group (3 people) tried to order the fig, brie, & prosciutto flat bread and their soup of the day (clam chowder) and neither were available. Kind of a let down.
5. The food was very tasty and the garlic mac & cheese was absolutely amazing! The french dip was great but the au jus was a bit salty. The baguette it was served on was perfect and crispy. The french fries were also delicious!
6. Some of the food wasn’t as hot as I was expecting. The smashed potatoes came out with a sandwich and were warm at best.
7. If you want to come here for a happy hour after work on friday, don’t bother. It’s packed beyond belief with kids ready to dance/​club and the parking situation is terrible. The music gets turned up at 5, it seems. So it’s not really a place to eat dinner.
Conclusion: The food was great, the service left something to be desired.

The food was really good for bar food. The buffalo wrap was really good. My friend had the hot wings and she said they were amazing. However the floor was extremely sticky. You could not walk anywhere without your shoes geting stuck on the floor. The service was also really slow even though there was not a crowd and there was plenty of staff. I think it could have earned 5 stars had it not been for the slow service.

The best UCF bar I have ever been to!
