The Station - Brownwood (TX)

1 /5 Jade: The service wasn’t great. Took 15 minutes to get food ordered. The fruit was only nectarines and we were not told that. The pancakes were cooked on too high of heat so it didn’t cook all the way through but it still had the outside crusty. The coffee wasn’t even good. Starbucks has better coffee. And the prices?!? Two pancakes for $9 that’s outrageous. I shouldn’t have even tipped. They didn’t bring me my drink until after my food. I am not eating here again. And the regular size coffee was so small and $6

2 /5 Sharoness: Super charming place, love that its mostly locally sourced food and super fresh. Service. Was. Terrible. The server for my section ignored me for a very long time before getting just my drink order. Then sets down a cup of coffee without offering cream and sugar- who does that? You cannot expect everyone drinks black coffee! That set the stage for very poor interactions from that point forward. I know they cant do anything about the screeching child, but you can pay better attention to your customers. And because I was not happy about them being out of what I wanted and mumbled something under my breath (not intended for the server but she heard it and immediately decided to have a bad attitude with me) and completely ignored me from that point. The pancakes (which i got since they were out of biscuits) were delicious and Im actually glad I had to make a change. Ive said this in other reviews and Im saying it here- just because a person is solo in your restaurant does not mean you can ignore them or treat them poorly. My money and tip spend just as well as everyone elses. And despite the poor service I still tipped 25% (probably better than most).

5 /5 Jason Singleterry: What a great place for breakfast/brunch! High quality food, great selection of choices and the atmosphere is beyond what Brownwood deserves. Coffee was excellent (and Im hard to please on quality of coffee.) The owners are great people and the staff is genuine. Go eat there and enjoy!

4 /5 Allison Kojima: This place used to be a bicycle shop, but after the owner passed away, the building was turned into a restaurant. I loved that they kept the bicycle-themed decor- it’s a charming tribute to its history. There’s a good amount of parking on the right side of the building, though it can get pretty busy, so just a heads up! Here’s what my friends and I ordered: Sidewalk Surfer Just FYI, this is only available on Fridays and Saturdays! You can tell all the ingredients are fresh, but I do wish the portion size was a bit larger. That said, the masa cake was unique, so I’m glad I got to try it. Death Grip If you’re craving something sweet and savory, this is the one. It tastes like a donut sandwich with deep-fried brioche bread and a side of jam (which has a bit of a kick!) It’s definitely on the heavier side but flavorful! Peddler If you’re in the mood for something lighter, I’d recommend the Peddler. It’s a more refreshing option compared to the Deathgrip. The food took a little while to come out, but our server was incredibly kind and welcoming. She checked in with us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. Looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu the next time I’m in Brownwood
