I ordered the chef salad and it didn't come with hard boiled egg, so it wasn't technically a chef's salad. The toppings included one slice of tomato, two slice cucumber, cheese, and turkey and ham. Would not order the salad again. Will be back again for drinks.

I ordered a drink Jameson on the rocks...seen them poured it out the bottle but I could swear it was not Jameson they refill their bottles multiple Liquors looked refilled with others Liquors cheaper product by far... places suspicious

Sporty dive bar and grill. Reasonable prices and pours. Decent if standard bar fare, video poker in a cove in the back. Is it a Cowboys bar? Nah, but maybe?

I’ve been rolling through Kenton for almost 25 years and it never even occurred to me to stop and eat here. For all of the history and great stonework it’s like the place is wrapped in an invisibility cloak.

Well it popped up on my phone as a place for sustenance and I decided to rip away that invisible curtain and give the place a try. I’ve been craving burgers recently and The Kenton Station seemed promising.
I was wondering to myself why I had never stopped there before and I realized it has the local drinking hole kind of look. The kind of place that might be a little run down and full of folks sitting around who all know everyone else. It didn’t look all that welcoming to me.
I kind of hate ordering at the bar at restaurants. I resist sauntering up to a bar unless I’m wearing my shiny pearl handled six guns, my old beat up cowboy boots, and a tattered and tortured cowboy hat that has seen some stuff.

But let us address the meal itself, all can be forgiven if the burger fills my withered old heart, if it lifts me like a glorious sunrise rising above the trees.

Unfortunately it did not. The onion rings were ok, they had an odd taste that might be old oil or maybe the rings themselves might have come unaltered from a supply store. It was not a bad taste, but not great either.

The bacon burger tasted alright, but was chewy and a bit dry. Nothing to write home about unless you are writing to your mother to complain about the food. To be honest, it was one of the worst burgers I’ve had in a while.

Kenton itself is such an interesting little village. It looks like it wants to be better, but got caught on an old snag on the way up. And like the Kenton Station, it’s not living up to its own potential.

Parking: Parking is on the Main Street and can be hard to find. You often end up in the neighborhood streets.

Food wasn’t bad for being bar food and it was decent priced for the amount given. My partner really liked his drink as well. Some of our party didn’t get their food until most everyone had already finished eating which I was not a fan of, especially considering they ordered the same thing other people ordered who had gotten their food almost immediately, but overall everyone seemed happy. I wasn’t super hungry so didn’t try much but I’d be happy to return and try something new.

Great Kenton special , crispy fries and iced tea. I prefer Coke products, it’s an old facility but comfortable, order at the bar, wait servers bring food so I don’t tip a lot. Dined in the restaurant and wasn’t rushed.

This place has gone significantly downhill in the past few months !!!! Food quality and ingredients have changed - I personally called in my order so I can’t say much about cleanliness but my family used to eat here very regularly and food used to be so good I would overlook things like not having a changing table or tables being dirty . Yikes would not go here again or order here again

Kid-friendliness: No changing table or area to change children at all . High chairs are unkept and dirty

I was craving a filling sandwich close to home tonight and I grabbed the Kenton Station Special. I can honestly say this is one of my favorite sandwiches in all of Portland. Fresh bread, roast beef and au jus, yes please! Enjoyed watching a game and just all around good people. Ben, Andrew and Julia working were more than friendly. Great place!!
