The food was great. Never had sweat potatoes nuggets. I'm trying to get my wife to make some.
LOVE IT HERE! We live around the corner and often order takeout but today we decided to dine in. We usually get the Philly and wings when we order but today we tried burgers and now I get the hype lol! The mustard on my burger was the best thing since sliced bread! I also love the atmosphere and how many events they have available during each month. Josh was amazing , very swag guy and made sure we were taken care of. We will be back for game night!!
We took a friend out sightseeing in Richmond and tried this place out for lunch for the first time. It is a really cool location, in an old Firehouse! We all tried the burgers and thought they were amazing. Our server kept the drinks and smiles coming. We'll be back! Update: We brought a large group today for lunch. Some of us tried the brunch. I had the Breakfast Plate and it was delicious. Three of us had the Blackberry Milkshake and they loved it. Two of them posed in a mock fight over it for the picture! Several of our group had various burgers and they all said they were amazing. Josh, our server, was fun, friendly, and took great care of our table! A fun dining experience this afternoon. Thanks!
Great find in Richmond just a short detour off 95. Had lunch with a group, everyone had a great meal. Very good burgers, awesome wings, solid sides and a great beer/drink list. Shakes (adult and kid friendly) looked amazing but didn't get to try this time around. Food aside, the place is just cool. Fun music playlist, table games, awesome staff, and a ton of history in the converted fire house. Lots of local art featured and for sale as well. Quiet for a weekday lunch, am sure it gets more lively in the evenings and for the various special events. Would love a place like this in my NoVA backyard, if Station 2 expands north I'm all in!
We came through Richmond late at night and were limited on places to eat. We came across Station 2 on Google and decided to give it a try. There is parking in the back, so we parked there and walked through the alley. It wasn't packed being a Wednesday, but still had good atmosphere. We have good service and food. We got the cheese sticks to share and then I had a grill cheese burger and my husband had the George Orwell. We had to add some salt to the chips, but that's a personal preference. I loved the old firehouse and the local artist pictures on the wall.
I can’t give Station 2 enough stars. Ethan F was our server and he did a wonderful job providing recommendations and showed patience as we took our time to cruise the menu and decided. The food was delicious and they delivered a true burger. The mozzarella sticks served with home made sauce, Philly Cheesesteak which was finger licking, Engine 2 Fire that was so good it was gone in minutes, and a classic cheeseburger that it was simply Amazing or so my pickie 10 year old said. Great Atmosphere for children. And there was indoor and outdoor seating. And don’t forget to check out the local artist artwork on the walls.
If my waistline would allow it, I would eat their burgers every week! We went on a Thursday evening and was quickly sat and our orders taken. It took no time for drinks and appetizers to come out. We ordered mozzarella sticks and buffalo cauliflower which were both tasty! I ordered a classic cheeseburger with cheddar cheese, the works and chili. The burger was yummy but let me tell you the chili was a delicious add on! I enjoyed the sweet potato tots on the side and ate a few of my daughters regular fries and they too were good. Everyone enjoyed they meal and we're already planning our next visit!
Station 2 hits all the right notes for a casual yet satisfying dining experience. The star of the night was the chicken sandwich crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. It’s clear they put care into the quality of their ingredients and seasoning. Service was impressively fast, and the staff kept things friendly and upbeat, making for a smooth and enjoyable night out. The drink menu didn’t disappoint either our cocktails were well-mixed and refreshing, especially the margarita, which hit the spot. Whether you’re craving a solid sandwich or just want a laid-back spot with great drinks and quick service, Station 2 is definitely worth a visit.
