Fantastic summer spot that takes you right out of town and makes you feel like you're at a beach bar. Stella's has such fun vibes with a bar space, ample dining space, and a juke box. They have good bar food and we had the Buffalo chicken and souvlaki chicken wraps and fried pickles that hit the spot and we got with a beer but would love to try their frozen drinks. The strawberry pina colada especially looks good. Service was great, easy and fast. Highly recommend stopping in! read more

I recently stopped by Stella Station for the first time. The atmosphere immediately stands out--it's bright, fresh, and has a great energy that clearly draws in a local crowd. However, as someone coming in from out of town, the experience wasn't entirely seamless; I found myself having to flag down staff just to get seated, which was a bit of an adjustment for a first-time guest. That said, the service was the highlight of my visit. My server was fantastic--attentive, polite, and genuinely made me feel welcome, as if I were one of their regulars. She really elevated the experience. As for the food, I kept it simple with the burger and fries. While it was a solid, standard meal that I would certainly eat again if I were in the area, it didn't quite hit the mark for me. Whether it was the texture of the bun or the quality of the beef, it felt a bit unremarkable. It's a perfectly fine spot for a regular, casual bite, but given the competition in the city, there's definitely room for them to sharpen up the menu. Heads up for the owner a stout on draft would be great you have 8 drafts & there're basically all the same. read more

When you charge $3 for a an iced tea...which is basically stained water...and if it comes in a clear plastic water cup (maybe 12 oz?), you definitely shoild not charge another $3 for a refill. I have never returned to a restaurant that charges for refills on fountain drinks and won't return to this one. What was surprising is this hasn't happened to me in 15 years. No one charges for refills anymore! Plus the food was mediocre at best. Won't be back, which is too bad because the atmosphere isn't bad. read more

Food is very good. Ambiance is great. Employees are very polite and helpful Being able to sit outside or inside is great read more

First off our waitress was awesome no complaints there however the service to get our food was very slow. We ordered the Beet and Feta salad, wasn't very good at all the Beets were not that goodyhe were so so. We order chicken fingers they were very dry not juicy at all. The onion rings were over cooked and the fries were so so. The cole slaw was very good and the chicken wings weren't bad. The topper is the ranch that makes or breaks the whole situation, needs to be real ranch. Not sure if I would really recommend this place read more

Super food find in Saugerties as we traveled through on route to Vermont. Fun walkable, explorable food with lots of food options. We rolled in around 2pm and had a few options but the key for us was outdoor seating and dog friendly. Stella's delivered on multiple accounts. Friendly service, large outdoor eating area, lots of good food options on the menu and beers and drinks as well.. We started with the steamed clams, then the coconut shrimp app, and shared a grilled chicken sandwich with a raspberry iced tea. All fresh ingredients and prepared to our expectations. Good meal, good find. Luckily we made the season cut off as they were going into hibernation for the cold months. read more

My boyfriend and I were visiting Saugerties and we decided to stop by this place for lunch. The place itself was cute with both indoor and outdoor sitting areas. Their menu was pretty extensive with various items such as burgers, salads, sandwiches etc and they also had a very good drink menu as well. We decided to go with the Cobb salad which was A+ on presentation - they presented it super nicely and then give you another bowel so that you can mix everything together which was a nice touch. The salad itself was super fresh and all the flavors went extremely well together. I got the Buffalo chicken wrap which was really good too and I highly recommend it for anyone who likes Buffalo chicken. The fries that came as a side were amazing - perfectly crispy. Overall, great place to stop by for lunch and the prices were fair as well! read more

Plenty for meaties and veggies, alike. Consistent and good! Drinks are always flowing and well-mixed and the feel is comfy and neighborly. Super solid! read more

All in all, a simple but good experience. We brought our dog and were able to sit outside with him which was great. Our server even brought him water. They have a pretty tight, simple menu, but definitely delivered. I had a bud light draft and crispy bbq chicken wrap which was delicious. Really good fries too! read more

Good vibes!! Nice outdoor bar, uncovered and covered portions. Decent service. Food was decent. Sea dog was huge and good. Fries were really good. Came with a pickle. They have frozen drinks.

Came here to meet up with a friend for lunch. I ordered the Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wrap with fries. The fries were amazing. The Buffalo Chicken Wrap is very good and filling as well. Overall very impressed with the food. Service could be better, which is due to understaffing. There was only one person waiting all of the tables and when it got busy, you can tell the waitress was struggling to keep up with all of the tables. Hopefully they'll hire more staff members to prevent some unhappy customers from waiting too long. read more

Stella's Station - Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wrap - Bars Near Me - Saugerties, New York

My husband and I were visiting from Out of town. My sister-in law took us for lunch and we ordered the chicken wings, fries , arugula and beet salad, coconut shrimp and coleslaw.... everything was GREAT !!! Absolutely delicious!!! Food quality was good . The hot food was hot.. just the way i enjoy it. Food was so good , we went back the next day. The out door area is inviting and well kept. They only had one server both days, so i can see how if they get busy it could get frustrating... but thankfully both days were pretty quiet, so we had decent service. Definitely will be our go to place when we are in the area. read more

Stella's station is a Saugerties institution. Really popular in the summer due to its open patio, it is often hard to grab a table here if you come at a peak time. Service is friendly but a bit spread out so they can be slow. Seating is just patio furniture so not the most comfortable however this isn't a place you are eating a 4-course meal. They have an ice cream shop adjacent, however I only ever got from it once so hard to say much about it (remember it being average). All in all you can definitely do worse in town than eating here (particular for lunch). For drinks they have a few beer taps and some frozen drinks. I like the flavored margaritas even though that's not normally my thing. They come in clutch if it's hot out. Food is typically picnic/bar food. Think Buffalo wings, burgers, salads and wraps. It's all good and edible if a bit unremarkable. My go to is the spicy chicken sandwich (even though it isn't spicy) or whatever special they have. If you have kids, this menu gives them plenty of options. Stella's is perfectly okay, but it's never been a huge haunt for me as this review suggests. I hit it once in awhile and will probably still do so indefinitely. read more

Food is good, the atmosphere is great. Sitting on the patio people watching is so nice.

We went in on a Monday night. It was pretty busy for a Monday. We told the hostess we just want a drink at the bar. The bartender never acknowledged that we were there. The after waiting ten minutes with no hi....no"hey, i'm sorry I will be right with you".....nothing. She and two other employees went next to us and said nothing. nothing. The locals were a bit drunk and loud......that didn't help the wait time. We walked out. Nobody said anything. We won't go back. read more

Great burger!!! Cooked perfectly. Really nice beer selection too. Also, the fish sandwich awesome. Both fries and onion rings on point. Nice atmosphere. We will be back. read more

If you are looking for an Upstate NY drop-in, Stella's is the place. Great outdoor space, friendly service and excellent food. Think of high end bar/restaurant comfort food meets a really relaxed atmosphere and chill vibe. Not to forget - you can't beat the price! read more

Stella's Station in Saugerties NY is a casual open air bar/restaurant. Stopped here on our way home from Kingston. Food was good . The service was good and the atmosphere was very relaxed. read more

Like all great local watering holes, Stella's has a successful formula that they have not messed with since we moved up here 14 years ago: Quality bar/beach food that is perfectly prepared; great service; generous portions; fair prices; laid back atmosphere. We like to eat in the outdoor section during the week, when the Village is quieter. Sorry they aren't open in the colder months! read more

Loved the location and the food was a great price for the generous portion sizes. We sat outside. My salad was amazing! We are from the area and will definitely be coming back when we are running errands in Saugerties. We didn't have our kids with us but the outdoor seating was kid friendly and there we're lots of families seated around us. read more

Stella's Station - a bowl of salad with hard boiled eggs - Bars Near Me - Saugerties, New York

Food quality / price (value) rating 9. The atmosphere is casual Surfside. This seasonal restaurant is exactly what you might find next to your favorite beach. They have indoor and outdoor bar seating, and several outdoor tables. The menu is mostly burgers, salads, and sandwiches. The food was good quality, prepared and presented well, and priced right! Keith, our bartender, was attentive. Mike, the owner, was on site and explained to us what brings tourists to this area, including a very dedicated and large group of equestrians enjoying many varied competitions and shows. The ready availability of Ait B&B's assures that travelers can always find lodging in the area while sightseeing in the Catskills including magnificent scenes like Kaatterskill Falls. This restaurant is also OPEN ON TUESDAYS, unlike almost all others in this area. I had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap, which was excellent, and (importantly) the fries were cooked very well done as requested. The wife had the Southwest salad, which was quite large, and included a very nice varied mixture of different greens. She said it was very good. I'd definitely come back here. read more

I've being going to Stella Station for years and I must say the place keeps improving . I generally order seafood because it's super fresh and it's always cooked in a simple and honest way, with few fresh quality ingredients. The mussels marinara with crostini are a winner. So are the steamed clams and smoked salmon salad . The young waitress was kind and attentive and the casual ambiance was just what we needed for an afternoon outing with friends. Bravi! read more

Try the sea dog, it is excellent. Fried piece of cod on a hoagie with tartar and Coleslaw, absolutely amazing. No one does it like Stella's Station. read more

Bar food (read: deep fried) and drinks -- semi-outdoors. Our dogs loved the attention -- sat at the table. This was the main attraction for us. Big screen TV's overlooking the seating area allowed us to munch to playoff baseball. There are better places to eat in town -- and it is more of a locals hangout than anything else -- but it worked -- priced reasonably for the area. Not much else to say. Usually my reviews are wordier than this. Oh well... read more

Stella's Station - Deep fried bar food ... - Bars Near Me - Saugerties, New York

Our bus stopped in Saugerties for a few hours after our day at the Garlic Festival. We wanted to stop somewhere for dinner and eventually ended up at Stella's Station. Stella's has a few seating areas. There's a big open air patio in the back. A smaller open air patio in the front, an outdoor roofed area up front, and the inside has some tables ringing the bar. Our server, Kiara, was one of the hardest working food service folks I've seen in awhile. Flying solo, she was taking orders, running food to, and clearing plates from both of the front seating areas, and she did that all with a smile and a shining personality. We started off with a Heineken Light and a Red Stripe at a reasonable $4.50 each. We split an appetizer and a salad. The appetizer was Seared Ahi Tuna ($14.00) and it was served with wasabi, soy sauce, and pickled carrot slaw. This dish was a real winner in two respects. First of all, the fish was excellent! Perfectly cooked and delicious. Secondly, the quantity was very generous because it came with seven big slices. An excellent value for sure. We split their Smoked Salmon Salad ($11.00) and were again impressed with what came out of the kitchen. Sitting on top of a generous bed of arugula, spinach, hardboiled egg halves, red onion, and grilled asparagus, were four big spirals of smoked salmon. We asked the cook to skip the capers and serve the honey dijon vinaigrette on the side, and that was no problem. When we split the salad from the big bowl it was served in, into the thoughtfully provided two smaller bowls, we were each looking at a pretty big portion. The quality of the salmon was pretty high-thinly sliced, not very "veiny", and lots of that terrific smoked salmon taste. Lunch (including two beers) was just 37 bucks. Zero complaints at all with the food, service, or price. Stella's had a nice crowd- lots of tables filled where we were (under the roof cover in the front). Families with kids, couples, and lots of folks sitting at the bar. Saugerties has a lot of food options and choices. We were very happy with the one we chose. read more

After an evening baseball game we were searching for someplace to grab a bite and randomly ended up here. We were SO glad we did. All of the food was delicious but the wings were fantastic. And the waitress was very attentive and friendly. Will definitely return when we are in the area. read more

We arrived here due to some friends who have been wanting to come here. We all decided why not as we just finished up hiking through the kaaterskill Falls and all we're hungry. We were seated fairly quick and stellas had great covid regulations applied for its staff with face mask, hand sanitizer stations and enough space between guest so outdoor dining was so cramped. I've order a turkey club sandwich with sweet potatoes fries and this was delicious as it has avocados in it as well instantly in love lol. Will definitely becoming back to this place on follow up hikes. read more

My first visit to Stella's was on a very rainy day. We sat out front under the awning and were very comfortable. The waitress was very nice and did a good job taking care of us. I had the house salad without the blue cheese and topped it off with grilled veggie skewers. It was excellent. One friend had the salad with beets also topped with veggie skewers which looked beautiful and she said was delicious. Our other friend had a focaccia sandwich of mozzarella and tomatoes which looked beautiful. We all said we would definitely go back again. Nice change of pace. read more

Hate to leave a bad review as we all do- I'll just stick to the facts: Ordered shrimp skewers dinner. Shrimp small to medium sized, vegetables on skewer very small, rice too too salty. Seems like more of an appetizer than a dinner. Busy bar scene. Outdoor dining. Probably best to order a burger or more "bar food" and don't expect More than that. Service very slow- think because of kitchen and not waitresses. read more

To start, I wanted to try this place for about a year now as I see it's always busy on my way to work. I had high expectations as the reviews are really great. However, our waitress conversation with us sounded rushed, and each time left as soon as she dropped our menu, drink or food without saying anything. Wasn't asked to refill or get another drink the whole time. When the food came we were never asked how our food was, in fact what we had was extremely over seasoned and spicy! Took over an hour after our food was finished to get our bill and pay. Don't recommend. read more

Verbally assaulted by Mike (owner/manager whatever he claims to be) due to a mistake they made with my meal. I have given this establishment so much business over the past month and to be treated this poorly is appalling. There are so many other amazing restaurants in Saugerties worth checking out over this low level poorly run restaurant. Stay far away read more

I've visited Stella's several time. The food is consistently good. My favorite it the salad topped with veggie skewers. The French fries are absolutely delicious. I'm not a huge fan of fries but these are exceptional in my opinion. The servers are friendly and attentive. Give it a try. read more

Traveling through on I-87 and took the 212 exit for a campground for the night. A campground reviewer mentioned this place so we decided to try it for lunch. It is located right downtown in an old gas station. Mostly all outdoor dining which worked great for us. I had the crab cake sandwich with the house salad. My boyfriend had the Italian panini with fries. The food was amazing and the service was great. They had several vegetarian options to choose from. read more

Food is great! Customer service great! Very friendly! I recommend. Great outdoor environment with low music playing. Nice place. Good vibes.
