I don't know if I can even give this One Star! I dropped in here the other day. My first time. One good thing, I Was recognized quickly. But it went downhill, FAST! The girl behind the bar said I could sit anywhere. Funny actually, since the only people there at the time were at the bar. And they, along with the Bartender, started in with a tirade of Snide, Sarcastic, Snarking comments directed at me. That was as far as I got! If that is what they consider Friendly, Welcoming Service, I don't want Any of it!! Count me Out! There TOO MANY good places in Rockland, and the Mid Coast to ever have to go here! Save your time and money and try one of them instead!!

My wife and I decided to stop in (5.23.13) becuase we were excited by the concept. I love it when old structures are recycled into restaurants and bars. Our intention was to have a drink or two at the bar and split an appetizer. When I sat down at the bar, the customer sitting next to me made a big stink about me sitting next to her, even though the seat I took was unoccupied. I was polite and asked her if the seat was taken or if she was saving it and she ignored me. We waited at the bar for a while and when the bartender arrived we asked for the draft list. With the establishment being located in Rockland and in an area that has a high tourist foot traffic, the establishment should be familiar with customers who are unable to identify all of the beers on draft by their tap handles. When I asked to see the draft list, the bartender rudely told us that the establishment doesn't have one and that I should know what beer I wanted based on the tap handles (which were on the other side of the bar). Instead of offering to tell us what beers were available, she made us feel stupid for having asked. The combined rude behavior from both the bartender and the customer made us walk out without ordering anything.

Interesting decor, shredded iceberg for Caesar salad, minimal chicken, couldn't find cheese. Pizza not a winner either... Blt and fries were good. Wish I had read reviews first before friends and I went. Did have Pat Pippin band. They were 5 star..

Had lunch here on August 13....was expecting standard burgers and was very pleasantly surprised. Chowder of the day is on the menu and was excellent. Seared scallop cobb salad was delicious - with sauteed cauliflower and greens as a side. Must be new chef and new menu from previous reviews (180 degrees off) because this place is a gem of a find in a cool old station and a few blocks from the downtown fray. Our server was friendly as well.. Really a great find and a pleasant surprise! Check it - and the Maine Eastern railroad to Brunswick out...

We were here for lunch right after it opened several years ago and found it cold, empty and mediocre. Coming back this fall, it's been redecorated with wood floors, larger bar, and more intimate dining area. The place was still fairly empty for a Saturday night, but the food was tasty. I had the chicken Caesar Wrap which was great with home made onion rings. My wife had the tomato bisque soup which was hot and flavorful, and the Mac & Cheese which was so-so. Good selection of draft beers and supposedly entertainment (DJ and black light dance) later in the evening. Not sure what the turn out for that will be. Left a pretty empty place at 7:30 this evening.

Interesting people watching. Turns into a local "club" at night. Food is terrible.

Food is horrible and tastes like it was all warmed up in a microwave.

The idea of this place, a restaurant in an old train depot, with photos inside of the depot back in the day (FDR came thru here in 1941), is very appealing for any train enthusiast. It's still semi-active as a depot today, with the Maine coastal railroad stopping here at the northern end of its sightseeing route from Brunswick. The food is definitely ok. It's standard American fare -- burgers, dogs, sandwiches, soup, salad, pasta, with some steak and seafood, too. The portions are enormous. I just sort of left here slightly disappointed. One, because I had really been in the mood for clam chowder, but they don't serve it. Two, I got onion rings with my burger, and they were more like fried clams in texture and flavor than onions. And three, my "blackened bleu" burger was just a little bit weird. (Partially my fault for ordering it.) The cajun spice sauce was a messy gloopy orangish substance that looked and tasted vaguely like Thousand Island dressing with some cayenne pepper. It was definitely ok, but nothing to write home about. My wife and mother-in-law loved the tomato brandy bisque, but it didn't really do anything for me. My wife really enjoyed her BLT, and my mother-in-law dug her salad. At night, they've got a full bar, they serve Jell-O shots, and occassionally host beer pong tournaments. (All games played with water, they say. What's the point of that?) They also have drink specials during NASCAR races. With the amount of good cheap food available in Rockland (esp. Wasses), I don't know if we'll be back.

A little disappointing in the quality of the food. My steak was overcooked and my partner's meal didn't come as ordered either. The surroundings were neat, being in the old train depot and the bathroom was clean.
