My co-workers and I ordered food for our lunch breaks. We each ordered one of the daily specials, plus a single chocolate chip cookie. We placed our order around 11 a.m. and was told an estimated delivery time of 11:45-12:00 p.m. At 12:30 when we still hadn't received our order, I called them back and politely inquired on what the status was. My question was met with a snotty tone from "Madeline" who stated that they "got busy" so the order wasn't even completed yet. She assured me that the order would be ready and out the door in ten minutes. (Our work location is only a few streets down from the restaurant) HALF AN HOUR LATER.. we got our delivery- the delivery guy apologized for the manager and said that he included some extra goodies for us. We were charged a delivery fee on EACH order (3 fees for the same location!!??) and when we opened up our "extra goodies" we found a few cookies and a rice crispy treat but, NOT the chocolate chip cookie that we actually paid for, or the sour cream and salsa that was supposed to go with one of the meals. If this was the first time this has happened I wouldn't be writing this but this has happened previously and it's unfortunate because the food is usually pretty good. We will not be ordering...

Central Station was great! We got takeout on a Friday and the fish fries were amazing! Some of the family had the beer battered and I had the pan fried, both were fantastic. Sides were also great 👍. I also got the coconut shrimp and they were crunchy and very flavorful. The dipping sauce wasn't my jam, but overall great. The only criticism I have is just attention to detail... Tartar sauce was missing in half the fish fries. They forgot my soup (hubs said that the clam chowder was awesome) that I ordered, but didn't give me any issue when I came back in to get it. It's one of a few local places so it was of course busy on this beautiful fall evening, staffing seemed to not be an issue, but the gentleman that was at the counter cashing me out was def flustered and overwhelmed. He wasn't the friendliest but wasn't unfriendly either.

Overall though a great first time experience that my family enjoyed! We look forward to frequenting this restaurant in the future and I can't wait to...
