Station 55

This place is under new ownership as of July 1st and I see it changing for the better already. Went for lunch the other day and our burgers were delicious, fries were soo good. Our server Edith was friendly and attentive. Can't wait to see what changes the rest of the year brings for this very charming venue.

Not much  to do in Gilroy on a Saturday night but Station 55 does have a band. It played a lot of good songs from the 70s. The band was good, singers average. My friends wanted to dance but they played too many slow songs. I finally had to ask them to play three in a row so the girls could dance....which they did. Not a lot of dancers here...just spectators. Also, the dance floor is pretty small. This could have been remedied by taking out the two front tables. Also, I got the calamari....that was disappointing. They piled it on top of iceberg lettuce so it looks like your getting a lot. Seriously! Not to mention it was refried and overpriced for something that looked like I could have got it from Costco.

Station 55 is a local dive owned and operated by family. When I am craving the juicy greasy stuff, Station 55 is the place. When I am craving a drink with friends or family, Station 55 is the place.

The 3 STAR rating means the place is A-OK. Expect the service to be pleasantly relaxed and some may describe the service as slow; however, there is no rush. Enjoy the old school decor and the hometown feel.  

I love to eat breakfast at this dive and a cheeseburger with fries during lunch. The refills are outstanding, since I love to drink ICE TEA.

However, I hope the people pick up their game and improve customer service. The food is good, but can be improved. Not sure if Station 55 has new cooks or if their recipe has change, but the food is just ok.

My friends and I frequent the place on weekends to enjoy live music and drinks. The entertainment is loads of fun. But don't expect dressy classy. Do expect a good relaxed time.

I will keep going back to support this local Gilroy dive.
