We finally got to The Station on Ingersoll for the first time just a few months ago and (spoiler alert) REALLY loved the Crab Rangoon Nachos, so looked forward to trying this location a bit closer to home.

Yes, after starting with a beer to unwind (the Exile Pumpkin Spice Lager is delicious! – see picture below), We couldn’t help ourselves but to order the Crab Rangoon Nachos. This time, our server asked us if we wanted the toppings served on the side so the nachos wouldn’t get soggy, so we did (see picture) and were very glad that she had offered!

Since we had this relatively large appetizer, for our meal we decided to order the daily special Pork Tenderloin with Fries (see picture below). While the sandwich was good, I was quite happy that our server asked if we wanted mayonnaise – as it was quite dry without it. While I found it quite bland (I prefer a bit more flavor in my food), my wife found that it helped some to add some salt.

While the experience overall was above average, the Crab Rangoon Nachos stood out again as our favorite food. Given that we shared the nightly special ($10 Pork Tenderloin & Fries), the Value was definitely a 5* tonight!
