"First time visiting, and I came with a friend around 7 PM on a Tuesday. Parking in the area was a bit uncomfortable due to the large number of homeless individuals nearby, and there was a strong odor on the street while walking in, which immediately took away from the experience. Unfortunately, with the restaurant keeping many of the windows open, those smells carried inside as well, making it hard to fully relax and enjoy a meal. The restaurant itself was also very cold, so we had to move around to find seating away from the open windows. That said, once we settled in, the food itself was actually good. I ordered the black bean burger, and my friend ordered a “naked” cheeseburger wrapped in lettuce. We both enjoyed our meals. The fries are ordered separately, so both got a large order to share. The portion size was generous—almost extra-large—and the price was very reasonable. We ordered the garlic fries with truffle Parmesan cheese shredded topping, and they were definitely a highlight. Overall, the food and value were solid, and I would recommend it to first-time guests who want to try it out. Personally, due to the atmosphere and overall comfort of the location, I don’t think I’ll be returning—but I’m glad I gave it a chance."

"We enjoyed our meal at the picnic tables outside on December 24th. The service was good and they have some good craft beers."

"The Station Tavern isn’t just another neighborhood bar, it’s a local gathering place for friends far and wide. Love the service, the people, food and drink. One of the best spots in San Diego. My favorite is the club sandwich and a margarita, or one of their daily specials! Kid and dog friendly!"

"On a staycation for the fall break with my kid. Heard this place was kid friendly which it was. We order a hamburger and cheeseburger which we’re tasty including the fries. I had the small garlicky fries which was an ideal amount. The kiddo ate 3/4 of his burger. That Coca Cola was strong though, most likely due to my hiatus with soda. My kid got his in a small which completed his indulgence…lol. Kudos to Yocelin for her hospitality. See you!"

"Awesome, cozy place with nice and ample outdoor seating. Has a generally friendly neighborhood vibe. The parking is a little scarce but the food is TOTALLY worth it! The pictures are from my second visit - Cheeseburger with bacon - their bacon is love! - accompanied by garlic tater tots. Amazing, flavorful burger, AMAZING bacon and the tots are perfect! Definitely recommend if you're in the area or hankering for a good burger and fries/tots! There is a bar area "inside" as well but I didn't order any drinks so cannot comment on the quality/taste. There are also "water stations" with clean cups and ice cold water at your disposal with a hand washing sink which was really nice. They even provided doggy bowls should you be in need!k"
