Aggie Station

Cool place. I remember this place used to be the Purple Pig. Drastically different and a lot newer too.
They have this massive 80+ inch TV in the middle of the bar.
As far as their food, it’s fairly small and limited in selection of food. I did go with the Candied Bacon burger. Goes for about $ 12 which is reasonable for a premium burger at a restaurant.
When we walked in I believe the owner behind the bar took care of us immediately. Our waitress was prompt and quick to serve us and answer any questions we had.
Wait time was about standard 15 – 20 minutes for our food. Everything came out with a good overall presentation.
The burger itself was damn good. The meat was seasoned perfectly and complimented the burger well. The candied bacon was sweet and in between crunchy on the outside and chewy in the middle. Fries were spot on good.
Overall this place is nice and clean and has pretty good food for a bar.

This is a cool place in Aggieville… plus, for when it is cold, you can walk to the next door places from the back. It seems like an upscale sports bar, with screens playing whatever big game (s) are on at the time (and a huge TV up at the bar). We were there on a Saturday night and it was pretty crowded but not overly packed. Nice ambiance and lots of local beer options, but my one complaint is that we were constantly being asked if we wanted anything else. It is great that the servers would check up on us, but every five minutes seemed like a bit much.

I think it is one of the better places to eat in Aggieville. They have very good burgers, and their mac n cheese is outstanding.

Always tasty food. Best burgers in all of Manhattan! I don’t know why there are rarely many other people here when I stop in… Perhaps it’s because it’s not very well signed. Anyway, I think you should get over here for some good grub =)

Venue: I like the atmosphere, the space, and overall look.
Staff: the staff is friendly and seem to try and work as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Food: Bar food, when cooking in bulk for an event some food came cold or under done.
Beverages: Sodas, beer, and alcohol were great, the wine however isn’t the quality I’d expect (I don’t expect high quality at a bar but this was low quality).
Overall I would come here again, I just wouldn’t eat the food or order wine.

Sunday about 4 pm. Plenty of time to clean up after a Saturday nite in a great college area, first, the place smelled bad. Second, it looked filthy. Third, the girl near door handed me a menu to look at… it looked and felt like an orangutan just gave birth on it. I left. Food… who would dare try it?

It was quite possibly the worse food I’ve had in a few weeks. I came because the pic of the salmon tacos looked amazing… Thats what I ordered. It was horrible. The best part was the side salad. The waitress was a snobby bitch too. I asked her if the salmon was wild caught and not farm raised. She replied with «I don’t think it’s cod.» Really? Thanks for the tip. The smoked salmon tasted overly baked, not smoked. The dill spread tasted about 6 months old. I should have videoed myself gagging it down. I feel funny and I probably have food poisoning…

Been here a few times, the food is good, and the service is getting better, but today was pretty ridiculous overall. It was a group of 7 of us, most of us restaurant workers at some point or another, as servers or cooks. There were several empty tables and we chose one that would fit all of us. After the waitress took our order, six burgers with either fries or mac and cheese for sides and one order of pasta. During the time it took to get our food after we’d ordered it, 3 tables came into our section: a 4 top and two 3 tops. They all had their orders taken and received their food before us. Two of the tables even cashed out and left before we had any food. I flagged our waitress down to ask if it was getting close since it’d been over 30 minutes and she said «they were still cooking it, it was a big order». Finally at 40 minutes we received our food.
Our server never once said «you’re welcome» or «no problem» when we told her «thank you» until we were actually cashing out. On top of that, the server never checked on us after taking our order, we had to flag one down for refills twice (one of us had never received our drink), plus flagging her down to ask about food. The were busy, but there were still empty tables. Highly disappointed in service, but the food was very good on the orders they got correct; which was only a couple since she only asked 3 of the 6 people how they wanted their burgers cooked and didn’t bother to read back to order to make sure the sides were correct.

Aggie Station has very good food. My favorite is their onion fingers with Cajun remoulade. They are by far the best onion rings I have ever had, and I could make a meal out of them alone.

Food was very good but it took over 1 hour to get it, plus once 4 people received their food at our table the other 4 of us waited almost another 15 minutes to get our food. There was no bill reduction offered or even an apology from the wait staff. If you have an entire afternoon to waste for good food, I’d recommend it. We’re never going back.

This is my favorite place to eat.
Best food; unique menu!
Looking forward to our new year meal tonight! So far, spinach dip is great!!!

The restaurant is a casual dinner /​bar. So expect a bit noisy for weekend and ball games nights. Full bar and 16 different beers on tap is definitely the main attraction.
Hog Hammers is a must try appetizer, and pork belly burger is so far the best burger I have for a while. Philly stake is a OK, taste good but the presentation is bit lame. Smoked Salmon Tacos is a great choice for people want a light but fulfilling meal.
It’s a nice place to have semi-​formal dinner but it might not be suitable if you want to talk business. Enjoyed the relax atmosphere for a summer night with all the great beers they have. Check out my photos posted.

Joe and Kent will take good care of you! Been here a few times and they are always to go above and beyond! And the food is pretty good too!

Besides seeing my daughter… a visit here is the highlight of a trip to Manhattan! The menu is so innovative and adventurous and the specials take it one step further… a real departure from the run of the mill burgers that other places serve. I love the red onion marmalade crostini! The chili won the recent Aggieville Chili Crawl and it was terrific! I can’t wait to go back.

Let’s see…
Two dinners in less than 24 hours… it must be good.
If you have no idea what to get, get the SPECIAL. Friday and Saturday they are actually different. My SO had the short ribs and I had the steak. I don’t LOVE meat but even the brussels sprouts with bacon (meaning pork belly) was incredible. I thought it might be because I was hungry so we came back the next night…
I had the iceberg salad (should have been basic and boring) but it wasn’t. I couldn’t pass on the brussels sprouts again and I wasn’t disappointed. We also had the special for Saturday and a couple sides. AMAZING.
I wish I could come back once (or twice) a week :)

Their spinach salad was good and very fresh. However, their menu items aren’t otherwise vegetarian-​friendly at all, except for the salads and some starters. Based on their reputation, I was expecting more in a college town full of diverse people with varied food habits.
