Woodbury Station Cafe — Restaurant in Woodbury

So this is my honest critique

My wife talked about this cute little place next to a train tracks that she wanted to take me to .

Upon arrival we went inside and a host handed us menus and told us to seat ourselves as we were sitting outside , that was all and dandy until we went to the outdoor seating and just about every table was dirty and had plates all over them like we just missed the breakfast rush .

Finally found a spot in the corner of an 8 top table. The table itself although rustic looking was actually kind of ratty. All chewed up , tons of fuzzy and stuff stuck to the table . It really needs some kind of table cloth or covering .

Next was the ANT situation , yes I know we're sitting outside but the amount of ants on the ground was outrageous. A lot of that could be from the food left on the ground . There was a waffle 🧇 left right night to us on the ground for the entire time we were there .

Next up is the service . 2 four tops were. Sat after us and end up getting their food before a 2 top. Our server was training someone but this is still no excuse. I asked for a med burger and got a well done burger which was also a disappointment. The burger was presented on the top bun and the lettuce tomato on the bottom bun , for those who don't understand , if you present an open face burger you want to be flipping the lettuce tomato over not the burger to make the burger stacked , little nit picky things but it just lets me know there are some little things that can be done better here . My wife got a Benedict but we had no silverware. That came to the table after the food was already on the table.

Overall it was an average experience. Nothing to write home about, I'd give it a chance again to see if things change for next time but that's pretty much my experience here . Attached...

Hello everyone,

This place came highly recommended but honestly? I have to say, it wound up being one of the more disappointing brunch experiences I've had in a long time. First off, the inside area is super crowded with a ton of tables pushed together; when we ate, it was only moderately busy but it felt like you were in a bar on a Saturday night. Really hard to hear and focus on the conversation you were having at the table.

Our sodas were flat, for starters and then our food took longer than usual to come out. A waitress who seemed to only half pay attention brought us two dishes that didn't live up to the billing. The only good part about my omelette was the pork sausage inside it; the eggs were tasteless and weirdly cooked. My friend's scrambled eggs were subpar but it was bacon that looked like it wasn't even from this planet, it was such a different color.

On top of it all after clearing the table we asked for the check. It took 20 minutes to get it because the waitress disappeared and was nowhere to be found. In the end, she didn't even come to the table; we had to go get it, she didn't even apologize for the inconvenience and had to ruffle through receipts to find it. Sorry, but there are better options for less money elsewhere in the area. It's trying but it's not as good as what these people...

Looking at the good side first, the atmosphere and decor of this restaurant is fun. It's an old train station and they've embraced their history not only in the name of the place but with the decor as well. The theme of the restaurant combines train memorabilia with a New Orleans theme. Personally, I immediately noticed the Community Coffee sign on the wall, one of my favorite coffee companies. The train theme is cool because who doesn't like trains. One of the waiters was making sure the little boy at the table by the window was seated facing the right way to see the train when it passed by on the still active tracks.

The food, however, wasn't so great. We tried the bengiets and they weren't bad. You don't see them much around here so i dobt have much experiencw for conparison. However, our meal was disappointing. I ordered an omelet and it was quite overcooked. It was dry and mostly brown on the outside. The "railroad potatoes" were unfortunately also overcooked and bland.

While I wanted to like this place because of the cool concept, I don't think...
