I've been here before for a happy hour thing (was great food and beer options!) So I already knew it would be good....I was concerned for space and food options as a lot of places are not running full menu but it sure seemed like it. We ordered fried pickles and poutine ("wet fries") which the pickles were great except one that my daughter felt was a little overcooked (so late it). Itcame with ranch but it would have been nice to have a spicy option as well as seems to usually be the case but just my opinion. The poutine was very good - they used Gouda which isn't no means fresh cheese curds like I've had but for around here it was great! Brown gravy went really well and the fries were nice and crispy and the plate was full! Recommended. I got the daily special - $2 hotdog (which was not anything small) that could include at no cost diced onions and pickles. If you want to pay you get chili or for more apparently anything for a burger is also an option. The onions and pickles with some mustard was great! Daughter got a burger I think the most basic with cheese and some toppings but she skipped all of them except onions on the side. Got some cups of water and I got a draft beer - Sycamore Brewing Pilsner. all in all great prices and great service and fast delivery! Maintained distance between tables, no menus (use your phone), staff wore masks and everything was kept clean. read more

The burgers were to die for. Their dessert was amazing as well. The service was less than ideal, the wait time from ordering until getting the food was slow (it was not busy at all) and the portions of sides were a little skimpy considering the price. The kids meals were lacking as well. Overall- we would give this place another chance because the burgers were SPOT ON. read more

Station 2 - New American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

One of the most bizarre interchanges I have ever, ever had at any level with -- of all the people -- the Station 2 Manager. I have actually been afraid to write a review on this because it was just that bad. Here goes: ------------------------------ My wife, Naomi, and I had enjoyed Station 2 quite a lot until we had a highly bizarre and hostile interchange - one evening - with none other than the manager. It all seemed to begin when I made a couple of special requests for my burger, like I wanted the burger patty and bun on separate plates. This request seemed to rub our waitress the wrong way. At some point the manager came to our table. I had noticed her helping the wait staff and serving food as well. I was impressed with her work ethic. She was young looking, and when she informed me that she was the manager I was surprised and impressed. I complimented her on her work ethic. At this part things began to deteriorate rapidly because she took my compliment ENTIRELY OUT OF CONTEXT. She was clearly offended. I can't prove anything as to WHY because I can't read minds. All I can say is that it was bizarre and hostile, and I do believe she MISINTERPRETED what I was trying to say BADLY. She never asked for clarification. She departed. A few minutes later she returned to our table. I tried to explain myself and smooth things over. This was a complete exercise in futility, and she became even more agitated. She made some really odd, accusatory statement about it being 2018 (implying that I was somehow living in the stone age). It put a bad taste in our mouths. It was off the charts crazy. It felt as though she was turning the situation into some sort of very off kilter political exchange. Compounding matters is the fact that I am a 30 plus year veteran, with 4 combat deployments, recently returned from Iraq. In the past we had requested a military discount and 2 different waitresses graciously granted it. My final and most serious mistake of the evening was asking for it again. NOT THIS TIME! The waitress summoned the manager. Again (for the third time) she returned to the table and lectured me IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS on WHY I WAS NOT going to get the military/ uniform discount ... because I was NOT in uniform at that particular time. It was so over the top crazy that during the exchange I told the manager that I had been granted the discount 2 times prior, and she demanded to know the identity of the servers who had done so! She wanted them punished. I did not comply with her demand. When she was done with her diatribe, she turned her back on us and stormed off. We were shocked and dumbfounded. It was creepy. As we prepared to depart I went to the restroom. My wife spoke to the manager yet again -- in a final futile effort to bring some sense of sanity to the situation. The effort failed miserably and we departed. In my 53 years of living I have never experienced a crazier interchange at a PLACE OF HOSPITALITY. I suppose the manager didn't get the memo about the customer always being right. Again, I cannot prove anything but I am convinced that the manager and her waitress had some conversation where they took EVERYTHING OUT OF CONTEXT and pounced on me/ us ... assuming THE WORST based on their own weird predilections. This is a very sad commentary on what could be, and HAD BEEN, a nice place. This world is changing, and not always for the better. read more

One of my go to spots in shockhoe! The have the best beer cheese burgers! I forget the exact name but I order it every time I go here! Their potato chips are so gooooood. Def recommend! Great place to hang with friends or family. Service is great and they also have bar seating! read more

One of the best burgers I have had at a restaurant! Even with the bacon and bleu option the burger was still the star. I can see why they are so well regarded. Solid beer selection and fair prices. With all of the patty options and toppings there is something for everyone here. read more

Loved this place! Amazing burger and drink selection, plus it is not expensive! I am not a huger burger fan but if I ever eat burgers, this is the kind I want/like. They have so many choices for you to pick, they guide you around, and you can also ask for sides! The drinks are pretty good too, they have a nice selection of wine and beer. I also liked the environment, the place is so big that you can choose to be close to the tv (more of a standing, talking, near to estrangers) or on the back in a table with your group! Again, amazing!!!! read more

Wonderful service. Josh our server was wonderful. I could eat everything they don't serve fish! The beef was locally sourced. Delicious

Good service with well attentive servers, great laid back atmosphere. Would come back again

So many regrets that I came into Station 2 on a Friday during Lent (aka, no meat allowed) because it looks like one of the best places for hamburger in the city. My Black Bean burger was very good. I would give a try to the Sweet Potato Tators next time, since the Station 2 Fries were not different at all. Good beer selection and full bar. For sure that I will come back and eat one beef hamburger, probably with the beerfest style (one in my table got it and it looked like a top pick) or the George Orwell (egg+bacon+burger is always a good choice). read more

Station 2 - Black bean Hawaiian burger - New American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

We have been going to Station 2 since it has opened. Sometimes the burgers are excellent, other times they are just ok. We met a couple of friends for a late lunch over this past weekend, and this time the burgers were just ok. I will say the burger menu has a lot of interesting combinations; something for every taste. This time I got the engine 2 burger (with onion straws, jalapeños and spicy mustard). My husband got the Orwell (with eggs, bacon and mozzarella). I love all of the combinations. Unfortunately, the burgers themselves were a bit overlooked, with my husband's medium well cooked the same as my well done. Also, the burger to bun ratio seemed a bit off today with some bites being mostly bread. That said, the sweet potato tots were on point; and the pretzel appetizer was decent. We didn't get dessert on this trip, but the fried moon pie is amazing. read more

Shane Is awesome as well as all of the staff!! Very accommodating and just a good time to be around. Thank you!!

Burgers were great but the milkshakes were very milky not what I expected at all. Other than that it was cool.

Honestly, I didn't know Station 2 even existed until using my maps app to find a spot for dinner near me one weekday night. I dropped in and found it was full of people who definitely seemed glad to be there. There was live music that night which was very cool. I decided to try the Beerfest burger with sweet potato tots. The tots were good with added salt but seemed to retain their heat longer than normal tots - so had to wait a bit before enjoying them. The burger was cooked to order and was really good. It wasn't a neat burger, though, so plan for napkins. My server was friendly. I'd go back. read more

Decent food, priced alright. We happened to go on a trivia night, so it was busy. That said we were seated quickly but had insane waits for our orders to be taken, our food to arrive, our checks to come, etc. I also got literally verbally abused by the man doing the trivia, while.sitting at a table where no one was involved in the trivia. The game was over half over and he should have realized that this table.nearby was not participating. The waiter and staff did and said nothing, even though I was clearly upset, as was our entire table. He continued to be rude and attack us, using his microphone, as we left the restaurant. I will never return or recommend this place. read more

I've lived in Churchill/Shockoe for 2 years now, and I have yet to try Station 2, and boy have I been missing out. A friend and I came by because we've been itching to play some trivia, and he found that they have trivia on Wednesdays starting at 8:30. I ended up ordering the griddle burger and adding cheese to make it a cheeseburger. To complete the meal, I ordered a side of fries. The burger was so so so good, and it was the perfect size, maybe a little on the small side, but I think they're like $4 so super affordable. Next time I'll know to order 2. But overall the food was solid. The service was pretty mehhhh, but like I said we went to trivia so it was kinda busy. I think I saw my server behind the bar making drinks at one point, so i'm assuming they were short staffed. Trivia was great, the host was awesome and the prizes are good. My friend and I ended up coming in second place winning a $20 gift card, so maybe I'm a little biased. lol read more

Not a fan. At all. Can get better burgers at least veggie burger elsewhere in Richmond. They have good beer choices but other than that wasn't a big fan of the place. Went in for a milk shake once also not a fan for them could get better else where. But if you are in the bottom there are no other milkshake spots nearby so this is only option if you are staying in this area. read more

Ever had one of those evenings where no one can decide where to go? This was one of those nights and as fate would would have it, we came to Station 2. Built out of a former fire station in Shockoe Bottom, we were in the mood for something new verses the usual stand-bys. And believe me, Richmond is becoming quite the city for cool, kitschy and foodie driven food scene! With it being a perfect a evening, warm, no humidity and just a great time to be outside. We arrived to easy parking along the street (we got lucky!) We opted to eat out on the patio because of how perfect the evening was verses eating inside (it was a bit noisy inside). Our server, Jimmy was extremely knowledgeable, honest, funny and optimistic! I like and highly respect that! The ambiance of the patio just added to how perfect the evening was. Suzka and I ordered a couple of Virginia beers (They have an extensive local beer, wine and mix drink list) and the kids had soft drinks or tea. For dinner, I got the Grecian Island burger with a side salad, Suzka, the Hawaiian Sun burger and both of the kids got the Grilled Cheese burger. All of our burgers were cooked to perfection and were delicious! Granted, I've had better, but over all, excellently done. Our desserts were refreshing and rich! Suzka and I shared a Triple Chocolate Brownie with Chocolate ice cream, Katie (my daughter) had the peanut butter chocolate shake (YUMMM!!!!!) Like I mentioned before, the drink menu was extensive, the food menu explained everything and even suggested burger pairings for vegetarian options. Our food over all was fantastic. We will definitely want to come back again. Why 4 stars???? Couple of problems. My son, informed us that the toilet really needed cleaning. Parking in Shockoe Bottom can be iffy at best, but I'm not gonna hold that against anyone. The ice cream for our dessert (though I thought it was good), my wife complained that it tasted a bit "grainy". I'm guessing because it was made locally, but I don't know. I enjoyed it. Over all, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would love to come back again. read more

Great food and service! Nice atmosphere!! This place is reasonably priced and offers a variety of fare in terms of gourmet burgers! The shakes are excellent and come in a variety of flavors! Great cozy atmosphere and tasteful decor, especially with the little fireplace! It's a nice touch during the winter months! It's in a great location, close to the Poe Museum and in the general area of the "Tobacco Row district!" So go explore, then grab some great food at this hot little place! read more

Finally got to come to Station 2!! I saw this place a few years a go during a Richmond scavenger hunt and have wanted to check it out ever since. I love these awesome themed restaurants in Richmond. Always has unique items and character. Station 2 did not disappoint. They specialize in burgers. I knew I wanted to try something out of the box, so I ordered a burger called "The Cure." I really wish I was coming off a night of drinking when I ate this because they aren't kidding. This would cure any hangover. It was also HUGE. Could easily fill two grown men. My mother got their special. The Peach Burger. She loved it. She was most excited at the fact she had never heard of peaches on a burger. I thought she was crazy, but she let me have a bite and I could tell what she meant. You would never think it, but it was a great combo. Super flavorful, burger cooked perfectly. Next time we come, we decided we are definitely splitting a burger and getting a couple of adult milkshakes. They look scrumptious! read more

Station 2 - black bean burgers with the happy hour wine! - New American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Station 2 definitely has a place in RVA. This beautifully restored fire station makes for a wonderful burger joint in Shockoe Bottom. I love the menu here. You can have a small, simple burger (3oz) if you're not too hungry or you can be adventurous and try one of their signature burgers. I love that you can substitute a black bean or turkey burger for any signature burger. This definitely lets you play with the flavors a bit while choosing between a Grilled Cheese burger or an Elvis burger. My favorite combo here is the Grecian Island with the black bean substitute. I love olives and tzatziki sauce and having it on a burger makes my day. For some reason the black bean patty puts this burger over the edge of awesome for me. The flavors mix together well and it doesn't feel as heavy once I'm done eating. You get a choice of sides with your burger selection as well. The best side you can get here (and I can see from other users that I agree with the general public) is the sweet potato tots. I'm not too sure why, but these tots are fried to absolute perfection. In my personal opinion, if you put the malt vinegar on them, it makes for a savory sweet and tangy side dish to an already flavorful burger. They have a wonderful bar list and they rotate beers in and out. I think the biggest issue I had (and, honestly, this isn't an issue and more of an OCD thing on my part) is that instead of printing out new beer menus, they just cross off what they don't have. Again, not a huge issue, just a little detail that would be easy to fix (I'd just put all the beer you have on tap on a chalkboard near the bar or something). But the beer they have is wonderful. It's a good variety of local brews and normal, everyday beer. I super LOVE their adult milkshakes; I'd recommend you get one of those ASAP. They also have a food challenge (see the pics I've posted). It's called Climb the Station Ladder. The challenge is to eat a burger stacked three high with toppings and two pounds of sides in under 15 minutes. According to our server last night only three have finished the task. I think next time MVF comes to RVA, he needs to try this food challenge. read more

After participating in a discussion of "Best Burger in Richmond" on a friend's Facebook wall, I saw a pretty distinctive trend with the suggestions. Station 2 was the place to go for not only a good burger, but for craft beers. And you certainly won't break this guy's heart when you put me in front of EITHER of these things. Girlfriend and I set this up as a lunch date on a Friday before running a slew of errands, and wanted to kick off the day right with a good meal, a couple of tasty beers, and a new experience. I will speak for both of us when I say that Station 2 provided all of that for us. Walking in, I was expecting the place to be larger (in regards to seating capacity). Maybe a dozen booths, a dozen 4-6 top tables, and a bar off in the far back. Taking on an appearance of an old fire station (I mean, not to be an ass here, but isn't that where the restaurant name came from anyhow?). Rich and dark colors, concrete flooring and high ceilings. Definitely retained the feeling of an old station house. The walls had various pieces of artwork that were pretty cool to look at, and I can only guess were from local artists. I mean, I wouldn't mind owning the picture they have of the dog holding the Legends beer bottle. Anyway, as aforementioned, this meal was planned in advance, so obviously I had been salivating over the menu selections for a few days, in attempts to come to some final decision prior to arriving to the restaurant. As always, no decision prior to arriving was made, and I still took 5-10 minutes scanning the menu. We started off with giant jalapenos stuffed with pimento cheese and wrapped in bacon. Really delicious, and a good way to start the day (for us.) Now on to the good stuff. Tons of ways to have YOUR burger. Your traditional condiments and toppings and not so traditional as well. I went with "The Ballpark" , medium rare. The burger came out nice and pink, and very juicy. Seasoned perfectly and topped with a split and grilled amerikreiner sausage (West Virginian sausage), grilled onions, smoked gouda, & habanero stone ground mustard. The combination of flavors was REALLY exceptional. The buttery and flaky bun with the savory and slightly sweet onions with the explosive spices and juices from the burger with a slight kick from that mustard. Really good stuff. Washed it all down with an IPA from Abingdon, VA, Troopers Alley. For me, a perfect match up. Wrap up: Craving a burger and a nice craft beer to accompany it? You owe it to yourself to try this place. With topping combinations that you are unlikely to find anywhere else, and a beer selection that matches, you can expect a unique experience with a handcrafted burger, cooked to your liking, and some decent beverage choices to accompany it. read more

Station 2 is a great place to go for happy hour in Shockoe Bottom. They have 1/2 off beers which comes out to be about $3 for a 16 oz which is a lot better than most places in the area! This place is definitely worth checking out on their Tuesday $2 burger nights. The burgers are a decent size and you can pick between beef, turkey, black bean, and edamame. There is an up-charge on extra toppings and cheese but I believe it is only a $1 or so more. I am generally a meat lover but the waiter convinced me to try their edamame burger. Boy am I glad I listened to him! The edamame burger is so tasty and not at all what you would expect. I would go as far as to say the edamame burger is better than the beef! Besides the burgers, I have had their American Nachos and the Wet Fries. Both are not for the faint of heart (literally, you probably need to get your arteries unclogged after consuming them). However, both are so good and flavorful. I am a big nacho fan, so I really enjoyed Station 2's twist on the nachos and using potato chips instead of regular tortilla chips. If you are in the area on a Tuesday, or any other night of the week, definitely stop by and check out their happy hour and try the EDAMAME BURGER! read more

For a burger joint, you really can't beat this. I like Burger Bach, but this is probably an ounce better. I've been here a number of times and had a lot of menu items. I'll start with the bad stuff first b/c that's quickest: - service is hit or miss...sometimes it's been great, but not always - not a fan of their sweet potato tots..but I'm alone here The good news is plentiful. They have an outdoor patio area now that looks great. The inside of the building is cool - an old firehouse done up well but not cheesy like an Applebee's or anything. The bar is big and has nice TVs, but it's not a place where you feel compelled to watch TVs b/c they're in every corner. The burgers I've had were all delicious. My favorite is the BBQ Espresso burger. It's rubbed in ground espresso beans. Comes with a delicious sweet BBQ sauce and smoked gouda. Heaven. The bun is quality. They also have a black bean and turkey burger option for all burgers...and even recommend these for some options! Other burgers that are friend favorites: the Elvis (peanut butter, bacon, and bananas), the chili burger (great chili!), and the curryous (curry rubbed). The fries and tots are okay. People seem to like them, but I've never thought they added too much. I order fruit, usually, to balance out the burger and the dessert i want to get. The adult milkshakes are amazing. The mocha cappuccino is a decadent end to such a meal. If you have room. And, please, try to save room. And none of this includes the beer list. That is obviously a point of pride for the restaurant. They're working hard to carry a wide variety of beers and I've enjoyed most of them. The Hardywood Creme Ale in a can is a particularly good summer beer if you're in the mood. read more

A mix of casual during the day and bit-less-casual atmosphere in the evening when the lights are turned down low, this converted firehouse station's got burgers satisfying the tastebuds of vegetarians, meat-a-tarians, and non-beef-meat-a-tarians. Gluten-free's a choice too. Well, ain't that just sweet? Yessir, it is. Oh, and did I mention it's got happy hour starting at 4pm: half-off alcoholic drinks (not apps). Attentive service, check splitting allowed, lively music, well-done burgers, and slurptastic milkshakes. Street parking may be a bit rough given that it's the Shockoe Bottom and off of Main street. You might be able to park across from the Main Street train station a few blocks down and walk on over. Get your hands on: 1. Strawberry-Banana Chocolate Milkshake $5: Simple sounding but worth it. A typical sized (16oz?) shake filled with chunks of strawberries and banana with what was supposed to be chocolate ganache but substituted with syrup instead. *Make it an adult shake with the addition of vodka - $8. 2. Kentucky Vanilla Bean Adult Milkshake $7: Mix bourbon with vanilla ice cream and "BAM" you've got adult milkshake galore. Might be just the thing you want if you're looking for a kick of alcohol; not quite the right fit for those wanting a lighter bourbon flavor. * I'd recommend sharing the milkshakes. It's a bit much for 1 person in addition to a whole meal. 3. New New Mexico w/choice of side $10: Mighty darn good melted cheese on top of roasted green chile (just enough spiciness), well-done corn salsa, chipotle sauce, and the other typical greenery/tomatoes along with a patty choice. We had three orders of this each with beef or turkey. Delicious. *Patty Choices: regular beef, turkey, black bean, sausage 4. For the side, forget being healthy. Just go with the sweet potato tots. Give it a try for some interesting twists on burger and shake flavors, plus some good catching up time with friends. read more

Friday night dinner and drinks was a blast, thanks to Station 2! Located inside of an old fire station, Station 2 provides a pretty dope decor to enjoy a casual dinning experience with a significant other or group of friends. Late Friday night, my girlfriend and I made our way to Station 2 for our first visit. It had been raining hard all evening/night so not many people were out. The bar area had a crowd, but the dining area was relatively empty besides maybe 3-4 other tables. That, along with the large booths, reminiscent of privacy fences, created for an very intimate experience. Besides our waitress, my girlfriend and I felt alone, which was great! The service was a step or two above average. No major complaints. Nothing extremely impressive. The food and drinks here were amazing! We ordered the Honeysuckle and Blueberry Lemonade. They both were strong and delicious! We absolutely LOVED the drinks! For our entrees, my girlfriend ordered the Hawaiian Sun with a turkey burger & I had the Classic Station 2 with the naturally raised 100% Virginia grown ground beef burger. My burger was amazing! Great flavor and excellently cooked. The brioche bun it's served on was amazing too! My girlfriend throughly enjoyed her Hawaiian Sun. It was a teriyaki glazed turkey burger with grilled pineapple, cheddar, teriyaki grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, & wasabi aioli. Her only complaint was that it was a tad bit sloppy, with all the toppings inhibiting the stability of the burger. We definitely will be returning to try more of their menu! read more

I was hosting an applicant to VCU School of Medicine who was staying with me before his interview, but he ended up stuck in Richmond a few extra days due to Sandy. I would usually have cooked more meals at home, but he was Jewish and did not eat pork or shellfish, which eliminated some of my in-home options. We decided to eat a meal out at a restaurant. We tried calling several places, and ultimately, Station 2 was the only restaurant of the ten or so we called that was open Monday night during the peak of the storm. I did not realize that Station 2 referred to a fire station until dining at this establishment. The inside is bright and spacious with high ceilings, and I really liked the wood and brick. The condiments are also brought to you in a beer six-pack container, which was creative. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive, and took care of us throughout the meal. I decided to order the Elvis burger, a most peculiar combination of peanut butter, banana, and bacon. I chose soup as my side, and added an order of wet fries (fries with gravy and melted smoked gouda) as well. The soup of the day was tomato basil, but the waitress said that they were running low and would soon be converting to Italian wedding soup. I told her that I would prefer the Italian wedding soup to tomato basil, and although she originally said that wasn't possible, she later came back and said the kitchen was willing to make it for me, which was super nice and accommodating. The burger was tasty and definitely different, although I was left craving more vegetables. The wet fries were delicious and came in a humongous portion. Prices and portions are medium; service and atmosphere are great. I might drop by again in the future since it's so close to home. read more

Horrible service. We had a group of 14 and called in a reservation days ahead of time and the place was not equipped to handle it. It took 30min to order food and almost an 60min to receive it. I would think that service would be above and beyond for a group during lunch but because of our experience, no one was willing to return and we still dont have our food. My 1 star rating is strictly on service. OK, I have finished eating. They can get one more star for the food. I had the Beerfest burger which was a bit on the dry side. A little over cooked to be medium. Waitress still messed up the drink orders and doing our best to get someone's attention so we could pay and leave. Overall, it shouldn't have taken almost 2 hours to feed 14 people. The most annoying part was people who came in after us got there food and left before we received ours. Not a place I would recommend. read more

What an awesome bar option for a Saturday night. We took our chances at the bar and were able to find seats without a hassle. They also get points for having purse hooks! They have a dedicated drink menu which ranges from virginia made ciders to seasonal cocktails and draft beers. Their food menu is very simplistic with a good appetizer variety, a few salads and plenty of sandwiches and burgers to choose from. I also noticed that they have milkshakes too. I had the pleasure of trying their sweet potato tots and washed it down with one of their station 2 mules. I will definitely be going back to this place because everyone was friendly and helpful, and the prices were decent too! Check them out! read more

Three stars because the wait staff were very nice and the place is clean. If that hadn't been the case, it would be two or one. The wait to even get a drink order taken was a little bit, and we had to ask for straws. We got fried pickles and beer cheese appetizers. The beer cheese was kind of gritty and the pretzel bites that came with it are cut up and deep fried. The fried pickles come with ranch and we're amazing! Keep in mind that as far as entrees go, this is a burger joint. The burger was very good, but the bun was too much and I had to eat it without it. I got a side salad with it that was good, but could've had a little bit more dressing. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but it wasn't great either. I left full, but I don't think I'd go back again. Given that it's an old firehouse, it's all concrete and brick, and the bar patron do not care if you're trying to enjoy your meal, they're all competing to be the loudest voice in the room...and they succeed. I actually had to step outside at one point because I just couldn't take it anymore. The vibe in there was just not for me. Like I said, they staff was amazingly nice, but it was very slow for being not even half full. read more

Met some fellow Yelpers here yesterday for a UYE prior to going out to dinner w/ others, so I was only in and out for a quick beer and socializing. There were about 8-10 of us at a table, and our server Anna seemed to take care of everyone in a timely manner. Those who ordered adult milkshakes said they were good. I decided on a beer since I didn't want to fill up on a shake before dinner. The beer menu was decent, though it appeared to be going through some revisions since many were crossed off. I ordered the closest thing to an amber -- don't remember the name -- and it was satisfactory, $5.50. There was no issue ringing up everyone separately, which was great. Located near the corner of 21st and E. Main Streets just on the line of Shockoe Bottom and Church Hill, parking can be difficult to come by depending on the time of day. Cool concept being in an old fire station. Open dining area inside, small outdoor dining space. A quick glance at the menu, though tells me it wouldn't be the type of spot I'd frequent unless I were in the mood for a burger, which is hardly ever. read more

Awesome local hot spot for burgers, beer and milkshakes. The Ballpark burger was burgerfect! A awesome combination of Virginia sausage and beef pattie. It has a firehouse theme that fits in with the shockoe bottom theme. This place is a great place to bring a family or just come to pound with your boys or girls. The atmosphere is casual and our waitress Courtney was fantastic. This place is the bomb, bro! read more

Richmond's food scene is WAY too good to come to a place as mediocre as this one. Don't get me wrong, nothing about the food stands out as BAD, it's just not great. The buns aren't fresh, the burger wasn't juicy., rhe flavors seemed much more unique on the menu than what they actually tasted like. Maybe that's the biggest issue- on paper these burgers sound life changing, and in reality they taste very expected. Decent service though! Didn't totally hate. read more

I come by this place a lot lately. It was great to see the place turn into the restaurant it is now. The place really keeps to its history as an old firehouse. There is some parking in the back, but every time I've visited the place I've had to street park. the food. I've gotten 3 different burgers here so far... the classic station2, hawaiian sun, grilled cheeseburger. The burgers are all great, but the last time I went - they undercooked it from what I asked. Still, the flavors are spot on. I've only tried the sweet potato tater tots once, but that's something I will definitely order from here on out. The place also offers a wide selection of local beers and ciders - this place got me hooked on bold rock. Also, you have to try an adult milkshake! Milkshakes are awesome, but when they are just for adults - even better! I got the mocha cappuccino and its a great flavor! the service. Pretty good. I went here with a large group of friends without any reservations, but they got us seated as soon as the table was cleared. The bartenders are really nice too! read more

Station 2 - New American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

A friend and I came here after the half marathon on a lovely Sunday afternoon in November. There was a wait for tables but the bar seating was seat yourself and there was a hightop open. Service wasn't a quick as the restaurant section but that was because there were only two bartenders and they also had to run the food and drinks to the tables in the bar. As a result we ended up having a more leisurely lunch than we would have liked but since we weren't really in a rush it was ok. Plus, they were serving brunch, the bloody mary's were cheap and football was on. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and the "hash browns". The hash browns are not hash browns by my standards (when I order has browns I expect them to be shredded) as they were just the little rectangles that you can get in the frozen food section or at McDonalds. The sausage in the gravy is locally sourced and a bit sweet. There was a lot more sausage than liquid in the gravy, which was a downside since the biscuits weren't as soft as one would expect. The biscuits and gravy is a lot of food, I wasn't even able to eat half of it (I also ordered an egg, they didn't have poached egg, so I got it sunny side up - it was ok). The sausage was a bit sweet for my taste and I've had better biscuits, but it hit the spot post race and I would definitely go back there again to try some of their other offerings. read more

Ohhhh Station 2, how do I love you? Let me count the ways. For everything beer, you need to be here. Local draft beer that rotates, waitress's that remember you, beer cheese to die for (still holding out for the old pretzels dammit lol) and numerous versions of burgers. Oh did I mention you can get turkey, local beef, or bean burgers with ANY of their signature styles!!! That means you can bring your non-red meat eating boss or your vegetarian girlfriend. They'll both be in heaven. If you haven't been, GO! This message has been Jeffro approved read more
