The Station Raw Bar & Liquor Store

Food was good but we all agreed that a little less salt in the batter would have been better. I like salt in my food but it had a little to much.

Now past that we really enjoyed it. Good local bears, good service, order came out fast.

It's a standard beach-ish tourist trap.
NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, Just don't expect anything else.
Good beer selection, good oysters.
Sidebar- every place here microwaves oysters if dressed at all- spinach, cheese, whatever, in the microwave they go. Shame.
If one place would invest in a broiler or actual chargrill it would be a game charger for repeat business.
TURNS OUT THIS PLACE DOES RUN THEM UNDER THE BROILER AFTER MICROWAVE, MY MISTAKE.
Super-chatty bartender here that has patter from a 1984 frat house.
Odd.

I have been coming to the island every year, for a month each year and have surmised the best places to eat. The Station Raw bar used to be one of my favorites, but the last two years, things have gone donel

Best seafood on this coast. That's saying a lot for Florida. First time here and the grouper fingers are the best. Loved it and you will be seeing us again.

I went to this restaurant expecting fresh and delicious seafood, given its location near fishing boats. While the staff was very friendly and the service quick, the food was a huge disappointment. I ordered the grouper sandwich, which turned out to be the worst I've ever had. The buns were soggy, overly sweet, and soaked with artificial butter. The grouper was cut in thin long pieces, overfried, and tasted like it had been frozen for a long time. Far from the fresh seafood I expected.
The sandwich came with nothing else, no lettuce, tomato, onion, or sauces, just dry, overcooked fish on soggy bread. The fries were ok but clearly frozen and overly salty. The meal left me with a terrible aftertaste of MSG and fake butter. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. I was really surprised by the poor quality, given the location.
For a meal this bad, I was shocked at how expensive it was. Two grouper sandwiches with fries: $53.64 plus tip.

Great server, Christina… very cool former gas station. Didn’t get attitude for not being locals and we had a great meal and experience. Will definitely be back. Smoked tuna dip with lemon and hot sauce was amazing!

Great little restaurant..

We had great service, food was good and it was clean! I had fried shrimp and the salad bar. The salad bar was fresh and very well stocked. Hubby had fried grouper fingers and scallops, which were really tasty. Also had cheese curds as the appetizer. The roumalade sauce was soo good. We definitely will be back.

We were seated by a very polite and professional hostess only to be ‘greeted’ by a younger dark haired lady with braces who stated we MUST move outside because they had a party of 40 coming but did not appear to be present. She stated this with an overly unpleasant attitude. If you have young kids (<1-2 years) you may consider other venues. This was not the same service we received during a very pleasant experience two years ago without kids. We will not be returning
