We had reservations for a group of 7 and the restaurant was very accommodating. The food was good the drinks came out timely. The only setback was they only had small sized crabs. We plan to definitely be back though once the weather breaks so we can enjoy the atmosphere again and hopefully get some larger crabs.

Delicious food. We had a crab dip appetizer for the table. There was plenty for all three of us. I had a Bison burger, excellent. Excellent service, free parking lot. Kid friendly and wheelchair accessible. I recommend the Red Brick Station.

I dined here on Valentine’s Day, and my only complaint is the long wait even after having a reservation. But I guess that is to be expected. The food was great, atmosphere was nice for the occasion, and the drinks were well made! Will definitely visit again (on a less hectic night).
