I recently had heard of this restaurant and wanted to try it out with a group of friends. The wait time was terrible even though they had given us a false expectation that we would be seated soon. The service wasn't very good. It took forever to bring our food and for the price I was expecting a lot better quality. For saying most of us had ordered sandwiches or burgers, it shouldn't have taken as long as it did to bring our food and it should have tasted amazing. It was a disappointment for me. The atmosphere of the restaurant is fun and different than other restaurants. For saying they have a good location on Center Street, they really need to figure out a better way to get people in and served sooner than they do...at least in the one time I've been there. Maybe they were just understaffed that night, but if it's always like that, then something needs to change. read more

Every time I come here they don't have what I order. Why have something on the menu and get someone all excited to eat out then you DON'T HAVE IT. I forgave them the first time but then it happened again. Seriously the most annoying thing of my life. I want to like you station 22, and you are very nice people, but you need to HAVE THE FOOD ON YOUR MENU especially when it's one of your only vegetarian things and a vegetarian comes! Great ambiance though...sooo...that's good :) p.s. I gave three stars instead of zero because I am nice. Zero would have been because I couldn't eat anything and just had to eat fries. xoxoxoxoxo read more

To all Station 22 Cafe customers, Justin, the manager at Station 22, is a caring and personable man that takes serious consideration of his customers. My wife and I recently had some complaints regarding the service and food that most others have posted here on YELP and he graciously attended to our needs and concerns. He answered questions and took time out of his schedule to meet with us to discuss our problems. If that wasn't enough, he also made it his personal goal to convince us to continue eating at Station 22 by offering us a meal on the house. Talk to Justin anytime about your concerns and he will help. The restaurant had been struggling with some chefs and management issues for the last month or so, but they have been steadily working out the kinks. Give them a shot. Station 22 Cafe is committed to service and food excellence. They produce fine food with quality, local ingredients for the food-conscious customer. I would strongly recommend it to anyone eating in the Provo area. Good home-style cooking for an American! Restaurants like these are few in number! read more

Very small but with a very interesting and fun atmosphere. Great background music. Food was above average and the wait staff was friendly and did a good job explaining the menu and drink items. A nice date spot. read more

This place is really good. I had the grilled cheese and fries. The food took a bit to get there, but there was a big party ahead of us. I really like the sauce they use in the grilled cheese. This is one of the best places in Utah county, to get a grilled cheese. It's like a twist on a classic! read more

very fun unique place. Food was very good and had a lively atmosphere. it was a Saturday night so expect to wait unless you have a reservation. Definately would go back read more

Yelp removed my initial review because it contained "second hand information," so I'm back again because this place sucks, and I have FIRSTHAND experience. So, hope this satisfies your "standards," Yelp. Speaking of standards... I'm vegan. I came to this restaurant the first time, excited to try their vegan menu items, especially the corn dogs, which I had heard were really good. The restaurant was busy, but they had an army of servers so I didn't expect the service to suck as much as it did. After waiting about 20 minutes to be seated, we waited another 10 for a server to come around and attend to us. Whatever, I'm a server myself, so I figured there had been a mix-up with who was responsible for our table or something. I get really excited when a restaurant has "official" vegan options because it usually means the staff understands veganism, and I'm safe to order anything that says vegan. Well, I ordered the vegan corndogs, and the server told me the sides available. I ask him what sides are vegan, he says he doesn't know, so I order the fries 'cause that's usually a safe bet--it's just fried potatoes. My meal comes out and there's a cup of something creamy-looking on top of the fries. I ask my server if it's vegan, and he says he doesn't know... He goes to the kitchen to ask, tells me that it's non-vegan fry sauce and comes back with salad vinaigrette for my corn dogs. Really? I finally just ask for some mustard and ketchup. I'm so impressed by the corn dogs, when our server comes back (after I motion him over because he hasn't even refilled our waters), I ask him what the hot dog part is made out of: soy, wheat gluten, etc. He doesn't know. He offers to ask, but at this point I'm kind of fed up with the fact that this kid has no clue about the food he's serving. At every restaurant I've worked at, you have to know the menu inside and out before they put you on the floor. After the meal, my friend and I sit around for about 15 minutes before our check is finally processed, by a different server, whom we also have to motion over. Regardless of my first experience, I really loved the corndogs, so I rave about them to all of my vegan friends, posting a photo of my meal online with the fries, and I'm told by a friend that when she ate at Station 22, they told her the fries were not vegan. Wanting to know the facts myself, I send a polite email via their website, explaining that I really enjoyed my meal, but had heard the fries were not vegan, and if they wouldn't mind giving me a definitive answer so I could tell my friends and know what was safe for me to order the next time I ate there. I never got a reply, so I suggested that more of my vegan friends write in, so they would understand it wasn't just one person's concern. None of them received replies, either. Still, wanting to think the best, I went back to the restaurant, 'cause those corn dogs were mind-blowing. Unfortunately they were out, so I ordered the ratatouille instead, because the server said it was vegan, and it was a pretty good sandwich. I asked him if the fries were vegan, and he told me no, so I ordered a side salad instead. Well, I guess I got my answer. This time, the service was even worse, though. After waiting about 20 minutes again to be seated, we waited another 15 for the server to arrive, never received our waters, and only saw our server three times: when we ordered our food and drinks, when he brought us the food, and when he returned our check. Now it turns out that the sandwich bread wasn't vegan. The restaurant has "apologized" for their misleading menu after the onslaught of complaints, and instead of making changes and educating their staff so that their vegan items are actually vegan, they've decided to delete the word from their menu entirely. Some will argue that it won't hurt them at all, but here's my experience with vegans: We're some of the most loyal customers you will ever have. I have friends who travel to Vegas just to get donuts from Ronalds Bakery. I take trips to San Francisco just to eat at Ike's Place and Herbivore. I traveled 45 minutes to Provo from Salt Lake twice JUST for Station 22 corn dogs. I don't know any omnivores who will drive for 45 minutes just to get corn dogs. Now that I feel lied to and disrespected, I definitely won't be returning to Station 22--there are plenty of other restaurants who respect and cater to my diet, are forthright about their ingredients, and maintain an efficient and knowledgeable wait staff. My time and money is going to THOSE local businesses. read more

I'am hoping to get the attention of the owners and management. I've been coming here since they opened. When ever I am in Utah county, I plan my trip around this restaurant. The food is good and that is not the basis I am reviewing on. The last three times, I have been here the service has plan sucked. Today went in for a late lunch. Three tables, one server. A good server should be able to handle this no problem. We were seated, drink order placed. 10 minutes to bring out 3 waters. Order placed, food came fairly quickly. Was not checked back on, at all. Out of drinks, food finished. Waiting to be asked for anything else/ the check. Scenario at this point: Two of the original tables and one new, still at three tables. She checks on the table next to us, Walks past us to the front to seat someone. Walks back by us, to clean up the table of the previous third. Our napkins on table, and plates empty the entire time. She gets half way through cleaning the table and noticed me starring at her. She finally walks up, and asked if everything was good and if we wanted anything else. I reply no, just the check . She then takes her sweet time to bring us our check. The time before, we call to set reservations. Kids birthday, she loves the chicken and waffles. We were driving two hours to come here for the kids bday dinner. Sorry we can't take reservations. I explain the situation, sorry we can't. Really...... You have a customer tell you, that they are driving two hours to spend money at your restaurant and you are not going to reserve a table for them. Lame, hella (hecka for you utah county folks), super lame. Again the service very sub par after the 45 minute wait. Drive two hours, to wait 45 minutes talk about hanger. That was a year ago, I have repressed the bad service memories like I have much of my child hood memories. Please please please with sugar and a cherry on top. Stop the bad customer service. You can still be cool hipsters and have good customer service. You should strive for awesomeness, and you are lacking hard core on the customer service side. I am going to give you all one more shot and I will update accordingly on here. If your service continues to suck, I will no longer be customer and I will plan to eat in SLC. If it is better, I will continue to plan my Utah County trips around your restaurant. I guess you can take that as some idle threat, from some random yelp ahole. Or you can take that as an honest review from someone who use to love you, but now wants to break up, because you changed and not for the good. Let's stay together Station 22, I love you.. Ball is in your court. read more

This last time (after several less than pleasant experiences) I convinced my husband that we would try it ONE LAST TIME and give it a chance. Why do you do this to me, S22?! The menu sounds so delicious and then what I get is barely recognizable as what I ordered. The highly praised Memphis chicken tasted exactly like oil and vinegar (grease and whatever that pickled crap is). On soggy bread. I even told the guy working that my sandwich was REALLY soggy, and he sort of apologized and then did nothing for me. I took ONE BITE. Husbands pork and apple thing looked like gray stuff piled on old bread, and he said the taste was equally unappealing. $20 later, I felt like I had gone back to an old boyfriend who I knew in my heart was wrong for me. He was emotionally abusive last time I saw him but I thought foolishly that he could change! Maybe this time things would be different! Silly, silly me. Don't girls ever learn? I get seriously hangry (hungry + angry) when I dislike my food to the point where it's inedible. I leave hangry, and I don't come back. Not this time, S22, you wiley old fox. Your sleek interior and beguiling ways will not be luring me back. I shed a tear for not being able to have your fries and for crossing one more place on center street off my list. I bid you adieu. read more

you just gotta love start-up restaurants with heart, and this place is all about it. there is so much attention to detail in everything they do--from the decor and styling of the restaurant to the food. i got the bottomless soup and salad, and it was awesome. they had a great selection of veggies and fixins for the salad, and there was also some fresh-made dressings that were unique and tasty (and not just ranch and that ghastly french dressing). my toddler chowed down on their salad (yes, she loves salad), and could not get enough of the lime-honey-thyme vinaigrette. i got the southwest chicken chowder soup, and it was pretty tasty. i could tell that it was made in house and not purchased, because the cuts of the chicken and veggies was not factory-perfect. my husband ordered the meatball sandwich with a side salad. he didn't say much about it besides it tasting good, but i know it must have been better than good since he ate it all with nary a comment for a couple of minutes. and since we were there while they were doing some food styling and photography for their website, we got to try the cheesesteak sandwich too. it was pretty much a taste explosion in my mouth. great quality meat, grilled peppers and onions, the right kind of meltiness in the cheese (but not whiz) and a pop of pickled jalepenos. the bread they used was perfect too. i may or may not have had a dream about this sandwich last night... all in all, this place deserves a try. provo center street has been in need of something new, and this place is the right type of business to come in. we talked to the chef extraordinaire and the owners, and it just so happens that they are the ones who will be responsible for taking over the corner where los hermanos used to be. some good things are to come, so go to station 22 and eat what they got now (support local!!!) and check 'em out later. read more

Having been raised in the South, I was pretty excited about eating here. We ordered hushpuppies as an appetizer, and they were a little strange. They looked like hushpuppies, but didn't really taste like them. I guess I'm a purist when it comes to hot fried balls of dough. For our entrees, I got the catfish po'boy and my husband got chicken and waffles. We enjoyed both! Most of their spins on classic Southern dishes seem to work well. Overall, it's a great place in a great location in downtown Provo! read more

Really just ok. I don't have much else to say. It's a trendy place and the ambiance is very enjoyable. I enjoy all the bottled beverages they have on hand, but the three times I've eaten there...well, it's just ok. read more

The atmosphere is amazing. The food is great. I had a Beff-alo burger that rocked my world. The long lists of bottled soda add to the appeal. This is evidence that Provo is growing into a true social and cultural hub. The menu changes often and the seasonal offerings are great. This is a place that likes to take risks and they almost always pulling it off fantastically. read more

First off we went on a Saturday night at 6:00 pm with a party of 10. We only had to wait 10 minutes which I was pleasantly surprised with. We ordered some poutine to start (a throw back for canada) everyone loved it, the gravy was defiantly home made. I ordered a burger with some sort of cheese on it and my husband had sage waffle and chicken. Both were amazing. My burger was juicy but not bloody. Cooked exactly right. Easy parking and cool vibe. We will be back... read more

Love this place. Favorite restaurant in Utah County. The food is dope. The sweet potato fries are dope. The waiters/waitresses are dope. The atmosphere is dope. The music played over the speakers is dope. The price of food is dope. I don't drink soda, but I heard the soda served there is super dope. It's also a dope place for dates. Definitely hit it up! read more

Went here with my family. There were 8 of us plus 1 infant, 3 to start. I was there for 20 minutes before getting a water. After an hour, when everyone showed up, we ordered. Food came out one at a time several minutes apart. A full hour, probably more, 2 reminders, and after everyone else had finished I got my club sandwich. The sandwich was ok, but not worth the wait. They did end up not charging me. coworkers went the next night, and at least one of them had their meal forgotten, this was less of a problem for them. I'm moderately fussy about service. Food should come out about the same time, you shouldn't forget to put in my dinner order (worse than getting it wrong), and I should not run out of something to drink. If you don't mind extremely bad service, then the food is actually pretty good, if a bit eccentric. read more

I've always love their food! The soda list is super large and makes the experience more fun. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very easy going and modern, it's great. If you're looking for a local, trendy place to eat, this is it. read more

Finally! A tech savvy inexpensive lunch place in downtown provo! Although they just opened, I've visited about twice a week for some of the best daily soups ever. Also, try the Ratatouille sandwich for a mouthgasm! read more

The buffalo cauliflower is crazy good. The chicken sandwich was good Big portions. Old town building in downtown Provo.

I've given this place three chances and every time my food was served cold and soggy. Just don't waste your time with station 22.

Not my cup of tea. My husband quite enjoyed the two sandwiches we got, the Memphis chicken and the 22 club. I, however, don't understand the fascination with pickled foods and I wasn't impressed with pickled cabbage on one and pickled red onion on the other. It also seemed a little pricy for a sandwich in Provo, but again, I guess sandwiches aren't my thing. I would definitely recommend it to someone who wants a delicious, gourmet sandwich and doesn't mind spending $10 on lunch for one. If I feel like overpaying for unique flavors, I'll be going to Slab for pizza. read more

I was not impressed with Station 22. To begin, the service was terrible. It took so long to get our food and when we finally did it was cold. The food tasted like it had been sitting in a freezer for days and then microwaved upon ordering. Also, for the amount of food we received it was not worth how much we payed. When I pay 11+ dollars for food, I expect lots of leftovers and better quality food/service. Far too expensive for the whole experience. Overall, I would not recommend it and will not return. read more

Terrible service, rude front of house. Don't waste your money on an overpriced average meal. Take your hard-earned cash elsewhere.

Turkey avocado club sandwich was very tasty. The cashier is friendly.

The poutine was fantastic. The gravy made me sweat, in a good way. Definitely coming back for them again. Chicken and waffles were good not great, but the pig and cheese sandwich hit the spot. They had also had nice red tiny blankets read more

The wait is horrible and the service even worse. Wait staff was just too cool for me. Food was bland and cold. Never going back and I highly recommend going somewhere else. read more

I had never tried this place before, but during the COVID-19 outbreak, I started following an Instagram page called team takeout Provo, on which this restaurant was featured. Oh. My. Goodness. So good!! My family got a good range of everything on the menu- the Mac Attack, Avocado Burger, Poutine, and the Adult Mac and Cheese. And of course, we all had to try each other's food, and wow!!!! Absolutely phenomenal. I'll definitely be returning! read more

Didn't have meat to make a burger. Who just doesn't have the ingredients on hand for one of their most popular items? Ordered a sandwich and it was made wrong. Staff didn't seem too concerned about meeting the needs of their customers. But when I finally got the sandwich, made correctly, it was incredible. 5 stars for the taste and quality of the food 1 star for the service and the people read more

Kind of gross, not tasty, and the service was lousy and rude the second time I went there--and kept getting things wrong. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Station 22 has some really unique sandwiches that taste AMAZING! My wife wasn't thrilled with the place but I thought it was delicious. I order a sandwich that I think was called "The little French Girl" or something and it was great. My wife had the meatloaf sandwich, which I ended up eating most of anyway, and it was awesome as well. read more

Corned Beef sammy is killer.Just the right amount of fixn's so I could still enjoy the meat.

The fist time I ate here I got the french dip sandwich. It was a good sandwich, not amazing, but the bread was nice and fresh and the beer battered fries were really delicious. The second time I came back and they had an eqyptian falafel which I couldn't pass up. The falafel was great! Nicely seasoned, good hummus and some grilled eggplant and other toppings wrapped up inside. THey also have some good iced tea for the summer. I will definitely keep on coming back to try out the other menu items. Plus everyone who works there is very kind and helpful. I just wish they were open during the evening too! read more

I'm pretty sure every time I go here they're out of something. Whether it's veggies, potatoes or bread. I usually don't care but it's disappointing. My last experience however was pretty bad. We waited more that 10 minutes for any service at our table and then another 20! For our water. We were of course ready to order but she left without taking our order and came back 15 minutes later to take our order. She never came back to fill up our waters or see how we're doing. We had to go to her to get our checks after sitting there for so long. When I walked over to find her, her and the other waiter were standing by the register talking. I'm very disappointed :( read more

Welcome, foodies, to the fulfillment of your deepest gustatory yearnings! =D After despairing of Provo's proliferation of lame-ass corporate chains and mediocre independent dining establishments, I have become evangelical about Station 22 Cafe! It is TO-DIE-FOR-DELISH and there's something for everybody (with plentiful options for carnivores, vegetarians, and vegans alike)! If you've got a southern soul and a hankering for an O' Brother Where Art Thou vibe and aural ambiance, come to Station 22 Cafe and you'll think you've died and met your Maker! I have every intention of spending the next few months ecstatically eating my way through every dish on the menu (six down, a couple dozen more to go), and to zealously converting the masses to the gastronomical gospel of Station 22 Cafe! Say AMEN to that! =D read more

The food was great and the service was great. Cool atmosphere and good old fashioned tunes playing. Lots of menu items look good. It was tough to decide but we'll definitely be back for more. Parking was tough on center but there is a parking garage off of 100 west and 100 north that's free and there is a back entrance into the restaurant which can save a lot of time. read more

Love the ambience of this place! Their huge collection of artisan bottled sodas is also fun. The large sweet potato fries are not to be missed. I had a sandwich and it was filling and delicious. I look forward to eating here again. read more

I tried this place on a whim, and only got our food to go, but it was the greatest turkey club I have ever eaten. The BREAD- OH MY GOSH. Loved it. I'm wondering if it will get really hot in the summer time like Hickory Kist a few doors down, so we'll see if dining-in will be pleasant or not, but even if I can't sit down, I'll definitely still be a regular. Loved this place. Glad to see that others do, too. It's great to see small local businesses do well. read more

tl;dr -- Small portions, poor quality chicken and waffles, but friendly and efficient staff. I dropped by after a meeting on a Tuesday evening, around 7:15 PM. I was interested in getting their chicken and waffles, because most places in the west only serve it for breakfast. The atmosphere here is great. It's dimly lit, with a stereotypical "Old West" feel. The place wasn't packed, but it had a fair number of people, which encouraged me to stay -- if a place is empty, it must not be all that good. Nevertheless, they were able to seat me right away. It took them a couple minutes to get me a glass of ice water (served in a Mason jar with a generous amount of ice; I requested water because their wide selection of "sarsaparilla" wasn't appealing to me), which was longer than I anticipated waiting, but it wasn't a big deal to me. My server was a vivacious young lady who was clearly trying to fake a Southern accent. Not sure if that was part of the job or if she was just trying to give me a hint that the food would be as obviously fake as her drawl. She took my order of chicken and waffles after about ten minutes in the restaurant. I got the sense that the staff was stretched a little thin, which was disappointing because they hadn't even reached dining area capacity yet. I recommend peeking in before deciding to dine there -- if they have a lot of people, you may not get as good of service due to limited resources and anxious staff. The food took another ten minutes to prepare, which was faster than I was expecting. The chicken and waffles were served on a small cast-iron skillet, in line with the restaurant's theme. This is where everything goes downhill. I paid $11 for a thin chicken breast smaller than my hand and an undercooked Dutch-style waffle with a side of buttermilk syrup. The chicken was dry -- probably a product of being beaten to death with a tenderizer before being fried -- and the breading was half-assed. The chicken was not crispy fried chicken which belongs on waffles, but more of a baked cutlet which you'd slice over a salad. The waffle itself was undercooked and very dough-y. The buttermilk syrup was standard issue and tasted like it had come straight from a plastic Sysco bottle. The server pitched dessert to me, which I politely declined because I knew dessert wasn't going to resolve my hunger any more than the meager entree had. It took them a surprising amount of time for them to get my check -- longer than it took for me to eat my meal. On the receipt, the server left her number, which is unsurprising for this town. It makes me wonder whether she does this to all the men she serves, because my wedding band is hardly inconspicuous. It was enough to make me not want to tip her, but I decided to do so anyway. I do not plan to go back. I expected high-quality food, but instead I got a dry, barely-breaded chicken breast slapped on an undercooked waffle. I ended up running to the grocery store afterward and spending $2.50 for a package of Chinese steamed buns, which tasted much better AND were a reasonable serving. read more

Never had a good meal here. Service is great, decor is well done, but the food just isn't great. It's new American food but I have tried the special twice and was not satisfied and I'm easy to satisfy. But I most likely will give or 3 strikes before I never go back. Maybe worth a try if your out of new options. Like this. read more

Love these artisan sandwiches right in the heart of historic down town Provo! There are about seven gourmet sandwiches on their menu plus a daily special. They also have a salad bar and delicious soups. The first time I went I ordered the special, Egyptian Falafel sandwich -- full of great bold flavors. Yum. I also caved and ordered a chocolate, chocolate chip brownie. I thought it would be decent, but no, this brownie was amazing! So great. I went back the next day and took a friend. Between my husband and I we've tried three sandwiches. None have failed us yet. BTW-order fries! Sooo good. They're like punched up Arby's fries (hate to compare to a fast food joint, but that's what the flavors remind me of). read more
