    Great bar
    Greg W.

    Excellent homemade food! Great service! Friendly bartenders, cool decor. The deck is small and you can watch trains from it. The pretzel sticks were the best I've ever had. Great little place to ride to.

    Smoking on patio, view of trains, cool mountain air

    Great little hidden gem. Restaurant in first floor of an older house. Looks like they really invested in it, everything looks polished and new. Table seating, pub food. Nice large bar, for mixed drinks or inexpensive common beers. Not many craft beers here. Large deck along the side, with good wheelchair ramp. From the deck, you can watch the busy railroad mainline about 50-100 feet away. Fast trains pass about every 20 minutes in both directions. Railfans would enjoy it. Between Johnstown and Cresson/Altoona PA along the railroad. Very friendly staff. A bit tricky to find, on a back street of this small town. Just follow the railroad. Free parking across the street, many spaces. Will return with friends. Missed trying the food, stopped for beer mid afternoon.

    In the summer, one can sit out on the deck and enjoy their food and drink, while viewing the trains that come by!

    I guess I should thank my child for this one because her desire to find a playground is why we…read morefound this place. It's along the road just off the highway to the park we went to. It's next door to the hotel and when we went it wasn't so busy that we were ignored but they staff were certainly being kept on their toes (Father's Day weekend, graduations, hotel guests...). They have both indoor seating (complete with a bar if you'd like to sit there) and a really nice looking patio area. The food was fantastic. Our server was great too; she was really friendly and helpful with recommendations. I ordered the reuben sandwich, which was deeeelicious. The salmon was apparently wonderful too, from what my partner said. And I ordered the macaroni and cheese from the kids menu but it was huge. My baby loved it and since it was so huge there was too much for her, so I had the rest at a later time. They had a really good strawberry lemonade, of which we (my daughter and I, because of course she had to have some) drank several glasses. Our server even brought me a to-go cup of it because she said it looked like we were slowing down and may be near finishing. I didn't ask her to bring me a cup of it to go, and wouldn't have thought to ask, so I was very happy she brought it for the rest of our ride to Cleveland. But perhaps my favorite part of the meal were the appetizers. We ordered some macaroni and jalapeño bites which were a hit as far as myself and the little one were concerned, with not too much heat that she could enjoy them. The restaurant has a Brussels sprouts appetizer, but they do it as an "of the week" special. The week we were here it was inspired by elote, so it had some corn and cheese and stuff on it and they were so good. I love Brussels sprouts, and will happily try them prepared in a new way. As of June 2026, I think they are short staffed. Our food took a little longer than usual but that was ok; it gave us a chance to chat and relax. Just be patient if you visit in the near future since they are down an employee or two! But even with that, it was a pleasant evening, the staff were fantastic and helpful, and the food totally hit the spot.

    I was in town for work and stayed at the hotel directly next door. Having this spot so close was a…read moreno brainer to enjoy a meal and some beverages as I didn't need to drive. I ate the nachos. This is not a one person meal, they are very large. I sat at the bar and the bartender was very prompt and personable. I also enjoyed the beer selection they had, not only on tap, but in bottles and cans. Inside the restaurant was clean and looked nice.

    Station 101 Pub & Kitchen - Reuben is a big sandwich. Half would have been enough. Come w/fries or substitute any other side.
