The food was excellent the restraunt is very nice and clean
Very friendly people & great food! Busy on Father's Day as would be expected, but coffee refills were prompt and made then time to by to spend time with dad catching up!
This place is a wonderful surprise! Awesome selection of food for all. My fish 😋 and my husband's Beef on sweick 😋 will be back again!
Best local restaurant. Home cooking. Reasonable prices. Friendly and CLEAN
I’m not sure I want to give up this little gem, they’re making my breakfast easy and amazing. I love the “handsome breakfast sandwich”! You’ll want to enter in on their side door between Lynx and Central. I oughta park on Lynx if I dine here, and use central for PU. Their food is fresh and tastes amazing, way better than Tim Hortons, and no line early in the morning around 0800. Had my breakfast ready in less than 10 minutes! Amazing.
The Google location is correct. We ended up doing a lap around the block because we just did not see it the first time and we were looking for it. Once inside I found a clean, inviting local diner with some obvious locals enjoying their lunches. The food was very well prepared. I had the Chiavetta's marinated chicken wrap. Excellent. There is outdoor seating alongside the building and I am sure it would be very nice in warmer weather during the summer. I will definitely return to try more from the menu.
The honey glazed chicken sandwich was delicious. And am sold on the sweet potato fries yum 😋. Definitely coming again when I am in town. *and I did. This time breakfast was a banging. Steak, egss, hash browns and a toast! Until next time…😋

With excellent staff and service, you won’t be surprised they remember you when you come back for seconds. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted as soon as you walk through the door. On the occasion when the diner is running at max capacity, you won’t have to wait long. They will surely make space for you at the drop of a hat. Even though you will have one main waitress/waiter, you will likely be served by multiple people. They share responsibility all throughout the restaurant to ensure that everyone is receiving adequate service. Turning your eyes to the menu, you will see that there is plenty of variety, yet not too much variety where you can become overwhelmed. How much choice does one really want, eh? After deciding upon the dish of your desire, your food will be procured with the utmost care from very skilled chefs. This is an excellent time to enjoy the company of your fellow diner go-er/go-ers. Not too short, yet not too long after, you will pleasantly find a wonderfully prepared meal right in front of you for the taking. The portions are great and will likely leave with leftovers for later. It’s hard to find a restaurant that combines excellent service with outstanding and consistent food. Central Station Restaurant has it all.
The food was great and priced well. Service was very good and the food came out very hot and delicious.
TL;DR: delicious food with even better service! Prices are extremely reasonable too. I came in for lunch as I was in town. The facilities were extremely clean and I was greeted with a smile. Carmen was my server, she was so sweet and gave me good recommendations. I got the special: cheddar bacon burger with waffle fries (Carmen recommended the waffle fries as do I). Food came out within 10-15 minutes of ordering, food is served with two (I expected slices but I'm not complaining) pickle wedges. The food was great, nothing undercooked and everything went well together great. The burger only cost $9 and I probably would've paid at least 12-15 for it, plus it comes on grilled sourdough! The waffle fries were fried to perfection, crispy and seasoning in every bite. I would come here again, she says they have a great Friday fish fry that I want to try next time I'm out here!
