The nachos, fries, and drinks were pretty good. The food could be good, they start with good ingredients, but the execution was severely lacking. We got 3 burgers, all 3 were over cooked. Our 2 side salads came out after the overcooked burgers one of them taking 15 minutes longer than the first and came out drastically different than the first salad. I got the breakfast burger and it had a pitiful clump of chorizo on one side, a fried egg hanging off the opposite side, with the whole burger hanging halfway off the bun, as a result my egg yolk ran all over my fries (which were also great) and completely missed my burger-no where near worth the $19 they charge. I wish I had taken a picture of one of the most pathetic burgers I've ever had, but I only remember to take picture with impressive platings, not burgers stacked by 4 year olds.I must give credit to the Manager Kaitlyn was very kind and understanding and made things right for Ilus and was a big redeeming quality for the restaurant and kept this review from being 1 star.

Planned a party with ease. Spacious for a crowd, DJ, buffet and cake table. Parking can be a bit tricky .
Food was good and nice atmosphere Our server was very nice and attentive. Convenient for our downtown evening
First off this place is neat. Being run inside an old train station is just something you don’t see and makes it so much “warmer” inside. We had some of the craft sodas which were good, and for food we had the fried pierogis, The Pittsburger and The Train Wreck. The pierogis were good, the burger was really good, but the Train Wreck was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I’d drive 500 miles to eat this sandwich again. The fries were really good and all off us were stuffed. If I ever come through Erie again this is the first place I’m stopping.
Beautiful atmosphere and history. Food excellent. We can take our dog upstairs. Had excellent cheesecake. You will enjoy.
We came here hoping for great scenery and food. It was so beautiful to see the restored train station and have really great food and drinks. I would highly recommend coming here for a fun time. Service was excellent and fast! We loved it!!
If these walls could talk, the stories they could tell. Beautiful old train station that has been saved and turned into a brewery-restaurant. The old world atmosphere has been kept and not turn into a sports bar. We both ordered the fish & chips (excellent). Very clean and a friendly staff. Plenty of metered parking in front, make sure you bring some quarters for the meters.
In Erie visiting family and stopped at this restaurant for a late dinner. It was a throughly wonderful experience. The service, food, Beer and wait staff were great. The venue is truly an experience in itself and the history is very interesting. Definitely worth considering a visit if you are in Erie.
We were heading to Erie for the day and I happened to come across this place. My husband loves trains so I decided to surprise him with lunch here. He loved it! Just like sitting in an old train station. They’ve done a wonderful job decorating. The waitress recommended a beer and he loved it. He wished that we lived closer so he could of taken home a growler. We ordered the pierogie appetizer. Hubby got the Cubano and I ordered a cheeseburger. The food was really good. Definitely a nice stop for lunch. When we are in the area again, we will be sure to stop back in!!

Our food was just OK., But the inside of the place is LOVELY and really makes you wonder about travelling during the "train" era!
Why eat and drink at a chain restaurant when you can be in a train station? My husband and I went on a Thursday evening. We were pleased that the station had not been made over. It is large with several rooms to accommodate larger crowds. We were seated in a booth in the bar area. The booth seats were church pews. It is nicely decorated and included some video of a local beer advertisements.. They offer a good Selection of craft beer, wine and cocktails. The prices for food and drink our typical, I may even say on the less expensive side. Besides the predictable pub fare, they offered a bologna and chorizo sandwich. My husband and I could not resist and both ordered it. We had it grilled on marble rye with provolone. It was to die for delicious. They use slab bologna, reminiscent of what my mother served. It was not sodium laden. Don’t hesitate to order this. The service is great too. I am eager to return.
Went on a Saturday evening with the hubs. We had to wait about 40 minutes. Very cool place, as it used to be a train station. We had the flight of house-made soda. My fav was the cream soda. Delicious. Hubs ordered a bacon, Swiss and mushroom burger, which he said was very good. I ordered their version of French onion soup. It was a little smokey, and tasty. Different from your traditional French onion. I also had the pulled pork mini tacos. Absolutely delicious. Coleslaw, jalapeños, BBQ sauce. Excellent. Would order again. I would for sure recommend this place if you are in the area.
Great food!!! Good service. I will go every Time when I am in erie. Pull pork nachos were great. Reuben was excellent!
This place was cool! Old train station with lots of original features. Food was good. Beer was awesome. We really liked this place and bought a lot to take home.
