Exterior of The Train Station in Castanea, PA
Michael S.

The Train Station is a quaint local brakfast and lunch stop in Castanea, PA. They are open 6 AM to 2 PM daily for breakfast and lunch with a basic diner-style menu. Despite the name, the restaurant isn't in the actual (restored) Castanea train station but a few blocks away. As other reviewers have noted, the portions are generous. I ordered 2 pancakes and the cakes were thivk, fluffy, and the size of a small pizza (see photos). Food quality was good and the service was fast and friendly. Train Station serves home-cooked, diner-style food so if you sre looking for exotic or unusual offerings then look elsewhere. If you are looking for a hearty breakfast or lunch after enjoying the nearby Bald Eagle Valley Trail then this is the place for you.

The pancakes are HUGE
Rachel C.

This place is popular! We ordered pancakes to go, and it took 30 minutes for them to be ready, which would have been fine but they originally quoted me 10 over the phone. The pancakes are HUGE, and super fluffy and thick. You really only need one, and even finishing that will leave you full for a while! My husband ordered the sausage and said it tasted better than he'd had in a long time. COVID: the tables are inside and are close together, and no one wears a mask, not even the staff. To get your takeout, you still have to go inside the packed restaurant. There are no signs anywhere even recommending a mask or hand washing. Being here was probably the least safe that I've felt in terms of COVID since it all started in March.

Bacon cheese burgers, fresh cut fries, onion rings all cooked to perfection!

Doesn't look like much when you walk past but I'm here to tell you the train station is an amazing little hole in the wall in Castanea! I do have to say I just had the best burgers I've had at any of the restaurants around this area and that is saying a lot. Don't drive past this place you'll miss a great burger and the prices are priceless! Give this place a try you will definitely not be disappointed.

Ham and cheddar omelette with homemade toast
Stacey B.

This tiny diner delivered a really delicious breakfast. Be patient because there is one person cooking - at least today - but it was worth the wait. The pancakes are enormous and really fluffy with great flavor. The most important thing you must know is that they offer homemade bread as one of their toast options. It's amazing! My omelette was great but I like a thin, griddle omelette which is what they offer. If you're looking for a thick, fluffy one this one is not for you. My sister ordered "the train wreck" and thought it was completely worth the $14 price except she could only eat half of it. Don't hesitate to eat here.

This is what my six foot tall, very hungry grandson left behind of his breakfast.

See all

They have completely changed. We have been going here for 10 years with our kids. Enjoying a hay…read moreride to the pumpkin patch to pick an age appropriate sized pumpkin. Then we would enjoy food trucks while kids played on the playground. It now costs $10 for a kid to play on the playground. Not worth it. Ruined tradition. Was nice while it lasted but won't be back.

Where to start?? Took the grandchildren there that are 4 years old. The customer service where you…read moreenter was horrific. They were not pleasant at all! No one explained where anything was or directed us to things. Pricing in my opinion is a bit high especially for the very few things to do there. They have a nice corn maze but, it's not for their ages really. The attractions they have there are very outdated and for the price they charge they could use it to do a few upgrades. It's been over 9 years since I've been there and it's definitely gone down hill from then and uphill on that cost. Though have to say their restrooms outside were more up to date than the environment there for sure. If I was pricing things I would have it as follows Adults ages 13 and up $15 Ages 5-12 $8-10 and 3-5 $5 and 3 and under Free. That's just my opinion for the attractions. But as you see in pictures I have sign of pricing from there. And last note we had to put our own wristbands on so we could've just walked in and said we lost them in maze if we wanted to do that but we didn't but that shows how much the people pay attention at the point of entrance. And as for a petting zoo there that's a few ducks and one goat. And no food to feed them as those machines had a post it note on it stating "Out of Order!" So, to say we will be back is more towards the NO unless they were to update things and that's update it a lot.
