THE STATION SALOON — Restaurant in Bloomington

This is the most unique and large restaurant/tavern in the twin cities. Their menu is a kicked up version of bar food. Two operating owners man the kitchens (also a Station in downs) have a combined 75-80 years of chef/ kitchen management experience. Their ranch dressing and BBQ sauces both have a rabid devout fan base. Burgers, Italian beef, thick tenderloin sandwiches, flatbread pizzas, BBQ quesadillas dominate an also very kid friendly menu. There is a large open patio for temperature months, golden tee golf, dart boards, 4 pool tables that draw leagues, city-wide national qualifying tournaments and, of course the Depot gaming parlor for games of you're over 21. Though not 100% private, many families and local organizations host small to large events at the Station Saloon. It's a favorite for class reunions locally as it can accommodate up to 225-ish guests. Visitors often bring in bigger groups of people for sports event viewing on the 11-12 big screen TV's. When heading to the station look for the authentic red caboose in the south parking lot at the intersection of veterans parkway and...

I only go to this bar for trivia, but unfortunately, the overall experience has been consistently disappointing. While Twin City Trivia always delivers, the rest of the visit falls short every time.

The service is not good, with several issues including long wait times for initial service & food and drinks. To make matters worse, the menu prices are incorrect (per the menu, adding fries to the boneless wings is $1, they always charge $2), leading to some unpleasant surprises when the bill arrives.

The only saving grace is one good server who tries their best to make our experience better and another gentlemen who seems to always be in good spirits. Unfortunately, they are the only ones who seem to care.

Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant. With so many other options in the area for drinks and trivia, it's not worth the time or money...

Been there multiple weeks spanning months for their trivia and only 1 out of the dozen times did I have good service. It’s like pulling teeth trying to get a server to come to the table to take drinks, orders, or even check on you. We’ve had to go up to the bar on several occasions just to let them know we’d like to order or to receive checks.

Also, this would be minor if not for all the other issues but, their menu prices and what they’re actually going to charge you do not match up. And it will be up to you to recognize the differences to bring up to them. And then it will be up to them whether or not they actually reimburse you.

All in all terrible service and I have no intention of going back. My bar was so low prior to this but now it’s...
