We got in here and were met right away, and sat down. Our server was super nice, I didn’t catch his name but he was quick and super kind the whole time. Their food is definitely interesting with their burger list. I had the grilled cheese burger, it was really good. The beer cheese and pretzels was an interesting beer cheese kind of thick but we all enjoyed it. The best part for us were the shakes. I would go here again for sure.

We had an awesome experience dining at Firehouse Station Two in Richmond! The restaurant is set in a beautifully restored historic firehouse, which gives it a unique charm and character that’s hard to find elsewhere. We were seated right away — no wait at all — and our server, Josh, was incredible from start to finish. He quickly got us settled, even moving tables together so our whole group could sit comfortably. We were placed near the the gaming area with a Nintendo GameCube — perfect for the kids, who were thrilled and entertained the entire evening. The food was just as impressive as the atmosphere. We’d heard great things about their homemade fries, chips, and sweet potato tots, so we ordered all three as appetizers. They did not disappoint. Everything was crisp, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The milkshake was also a hit — rich, creamy, and delicious. All of our burgers were cooked perfectly, and not a single kid had a complaint (which, if you’re a parent, you know is a rare win). Even though the weather outside was wet and dreary, our night at Firehouse Station Two was warm, welcoming, and full of good vibes. We’ll absolutely be back again!

LOVE IT HERE! We live around the corner and often order takeout but today we decided to dine in. We usually get the Philly and wings when we order but today we tried burgers and now I get the hype lol! The mustard on my burger was the best thing since sliced bread! I also love the atmosphere and how many events they have available during each month. Josh was amazing , very swag guy and made sure we were taken care of. We will be back for game night!!

Now I go to this restaurant no less than twice a week and I’ve never experienced anything like this before the whole visit was crazy I wasn’t greeted by nobody I had to yell for someone to address my husband and I we were there for 15 plus minutes and then they acted like I was annoying them because I asked could I place an order to go. So I placed my order which is the same every time dressed well done cheeseburger with sweet potato tots on brioche bun look what they gave me!!! And I tip more than the percentage every time!!!

We came through Richmond late at night and were limited on places to eat. We came across Station 2 on Google and decided to give it a try. There is parking in the back, so we parked there and walked through the alley. It wasn't packed being a Wednesday, but still had good atmosphere. We have good service and food. We got the cheese sticks to share and then I had a grill cheese burger and my husband had the George Orwell. We had to add some salt to the chips, but that's a personal preference. I loved the old firehouse and the local artist pictures on the wall.

The burgers were okay here. I would suggest the Beer Cheese dip with pretzel bits. Very good. The have adult shakes which are tasting, but not a lot of alcohol. They are reasonably priced though.

This is a great dive bar. Good service. My wife and I had the small burgers and some sweet potato tots. I also ordered a small lager. Everything was yummy. A cool vibe there. Highly recommend. Thank God I don't live nearby. I'd gain 20 pounds because I would go there often.

This was a great dinner choice. We ordered beer cheese and jalapeño poppers as an appetizer, would recommend both. For our main, we had the mushroom swiss, the classic, and the Mark Maguire. Yum, yum, and YUM! Also the Vanilla, Peanut Butter shake is a must. They had plenty of outdoor seating, although we chose to eat indoors.

Being honest this place is absolutely terrible. The tables and entire place are covered in grime. The waitresses are too busy with what appears to be socialization/dating on the clock (to me) to care for their tables and it took over 45 mins to get food on table one time. Other times they were just always on their phone somewhere or talking to people instead of providing attentive service. The food is BAD nasty and mediocre, the kitchen, prep table, utensils, anything the food touches likely needs cleaning based on the taste. Trivia is nice and so is the flight special, other than that SKIP THIS DIVE

Station 2 is a good option for a late night casual bite since they're open until midnight every day but I wouldn't go otherwise. The food is average and portions are slightly smaller than I'd expect. They do have an option for a half sized burger for $6, which is really nice when you don't want to commit to a full one. The service was a little slow when we went on a weeknight. Also the tables and benches were really sticky.

OMG! This pub was incredible. A great menu and full bar in a repurposed fire house. The staff is great and food and drink are excellent. I had the black and blu burger. My guest had a burger with Mac and cheese, and jelapano poppers. Food was delicious. Really incredible atmosphere.

Visiting the area and after touring Virginia State Capital Bldg, it was time for lunch & a cold beer !! Selected Station #2 because of its Historic building of being an old firehouse..... dating 1899. Parking is allowed on the street. The beers were cold and they had several local brews from which to select. Lunch time around the Capital was busy. Inside & outside eating is available and pet friendly on the patio. We ate inside. We had the friendliest Server, named Taylor J. Pleasant with conversation, attentive but not overbearing. We ordered lunch ~ one ordered the Sunset Burger, Southwestern Salad (I think), and the Classic Station #2 burger. We all enjoyed our meals. Our burger was cooked perfectly and seasoned very well. Fries were crunchy.... Nice !!! Food service was prompt... didn't wait long at all for food to arrive. Nice & hot. The decor had a few areas of Firehouse axes, hoses & uniforms but I wish they had more Firehouse decor inside as memorabilia of the past Firehouse activities. Overall.... I would definitely come back to eat....

The food here is absolutely delicious! Their version of the poutine fries really knocked it out of the park. My boyfriend really liked the grilled cheese burger and I adored the beer cheese burger. I liked being able to get a salad without a large upcharge too. They have so many ciders and beers to choose from. The waiter was very quick to greet us and helped put together a great flight of beers for my boyfriend. He regularly checked on us and made sure we were happy with everything. The adult milkshakes... Omg! So delicious! You almost can't even tell they're alcoholic. This is a little hole in the wall joint that's hard to find unless you know where to look for it. There is a covered seating area outside though I don't think it was available to sit there when we went. It is very loud in here, I think partially due to the building itself. If you don't care about having conversations while you eat and just want good food that's not super expensive, definitely check this place out! We definitely haven't regretted coming.

Our go-to burger place. We order from here any time we have a long day and don't want to cook. Prices are reasonable, and the quality is consistently good. Miss the deviled eggs that recently left the online menu, they were great. Whoever the kitchen staff is needs a raise, because every time we've ordered, they manage the perfect medium rare. Wish they had onion rings as a side, but the sweet potato tater tots and fries are perfect. If management is reading, Natasha from DoorDash thanks you for our food!

Station 2 is a gem of a place with great cheap food that I would be glad to be a regular at... if it were located somewhere else. Came here yesterday for trivia with a few friends and was reminded of why I don't come to shockoe bottom more: pretty sketchy place. Obviously a bunch of other people feel comfortable enough here but as someone who used to work in security, I noticed a lot of red flags in the blocks surrounding this place. Be vigilant. As for Station 2 itself, I was very impressed. The interior is charming, the seating was comfortable and not cramped, the service was exemplary, and the trivia was excellent too. The menu prices are extremely affordable by modern standards, with some appetizers of decent size under $10. I opted for the American nachos (pictured) and they were delicious, not bad for $8! The craft beer selection is great, and while I opted for a Hardywood Gingerbread Stout on this occasion, their alcohol milkshakes looked amazing. Might try one in the future if I venture this way again. All things considered, I want to come back here, but safety is something I take seriously, so I would not risk the safety of family or dates bringing them here personally. Your mileage may vary, though your dollar will go far here! Overall: 4.0 stars ----- Pros: - Outstanding service from our server, memorably pleasant. - Great interior design, former firehouse. - Excellent food at reasonable prices. - Good draft beer selection. Cons: - The area this is in is worrisome, I recommend parking as close to station 2 as possible. - Speaking of parking, it can be tough to find some here depending on time and day of the week. I was lucky and found some on the street a block away. If you have to park more than three blocks away or so, maybe visit another day.

Had a pretty good burger at Station 2. It's an old fire station converted to bar/restaurant. Service was good, family enjoyed their meals. As an ex-firefighter, had to try it out. A good selection of area beers that were wonderful.

We went there a business meeting and after eating the food, I was surprised this place wasn't packed. The food was hot and so good. I ordered the tots but asked if they had cinnamon sugar on them, he said no but would be more than willing to add that to them. They were GREAT!! No one at our table had any complaints at all. Everything was delicious. Please go and support this great place!

Ethan F was our server and he did a wonderful job providing recommendations and showed patience as we took our time to cruise the menu and decided. The food was delicious and they delivered a true burger BEST BURGER I have ever had. The mozzarella sticks served with home made sauce, Philly Cheesesteak which was finger licking, Engine 2 Fire that was so good it was gone in minutes, and a classic cheeseburger that it was simply Amazing or so my pickie 10 year old said. Great Atmosphere for children. Indoor and outdoor seating. And don't forget to check out the local artist artwork that is for sale.

We love this restaurant! It is a neighborhood favorite of mine and the first restaurant I went to when I moved here! The history and the welcoming environment is an added bonus. The large menu full of appetizers and burgers will fill anyone's cravings! Our favorites is Station 2 burger & Mushroom and Swiss burger with sweet potato tots!

Came here for their trivia night with some friends. I had been wanting to try this spot for a very long time. I like their aesthetic and what they're going for, but my biggest complaint is it was LOUD. I could hardly hear myself think here. This is no one's fault, and it might be better on a less busy night without someone announcing things on a microphone, but we were all screaming at each other adding to the cacophony of screeching diners. I ordered the grilled cheese burger. I loved the concept, but something was off about the meat. I couldn't place it, but it didn't taste right. I was ok when I got home and so were my friends who got burgers too. The sweet potato tots were fine. I liked having a non-fry option! I like how creative they are with their burgers here. My friend got the Elvis burger (the one with peanut butter) and I have to admit, that was a new combination for me! I'm interested in coming back at a less busy time to try other things on the menu because this spot was cool.

First time here. Was meeting friends for trivia or else I would have probably left before ordering. Tables were VERY sticky and clearly the whole place needs a scrub down. Smelled like a musty bathroom. Also the AC did step it up about 90 minutes into my visit, but the first 90 mins were sweltering hot! Service was excellent. The mushroom swiss burger was nothing special. Skimpy on the toppings. Meat had a great char-grilled crust, and tho a bit overcooked, the flavor was good. Big brioche bun was from-the-fridge cold- not appealing. For a place that almost only serves burgers you'd think they would make the effort to grill or toast the bun. Sweet potato tots were great. Acoustics - it is a former firehouse so the ceilings are high, hard surfaces and concrete everywhere. Very loud. Just a heads up for those that don't like to have to yell their order to the server and to their friends across the table. With so many choices in RVA, likely will not return.

Four of us went here for dinner. It is a really cool place that was an old fire station converted to a restaurant. The hole in the ceiling where the pole was is still there. This place is down town and parking can be tough. We ended up having to pay to park at a public parking area because we could not locate a spot. There is a decent craft beer list to choose from as well. The menu is predominantly burgers and all 4 of us got different ones. My son and I both got ones that had some spice/peppers on it and they had a little kick to it. Our waitress was fantastic with a great smile, attitude and was very attentive. Cool place to go

Will definitely recommend. This is a late update but we went last Sunday night. Everything was phenomenal. They have REALLY good wings. Disclaimer- it's a 25 mins plus wait for them but it's worth it. We got burgers as well. Which came out before the wings of course. The burgers were good too. And the customer service. Def check this place out :))

Been going here for years. Always a great selection of draft beer, good food and good prices. The staff is always very friendly and attentive. The inside is pretty cool, as it's in an old fire station that they did a great job converting into a restaurant. Full bar with plenty of seats and TVs (where I would sit when I was single), also plenty of tables and some tables outside (where I now usually sit with my wife and kids). Kid friendly with a well priced kid's menu. Easily one of my favorite restaurants in the area.

Great ambiance... an old fire station converted in to a restaurant. Met a friend here for burgers which were great. Beer went down with the burgers... fries were pretty good. Server was very attentive but we also arrived early enough it wasn't too busy.

The space is open, boisterous, and is a good spot to 'hang out in a bar with a burger' vibe. It's a great big space with sticky tables and the qr-code burger themed menu. Seems like a good fit for people who want to hold on to the college drinking culture into their 30's. The concept is simple enough: choose your bread, choose your burger, choose your garnish option (style), and side. Service is very casual and accommodating. Printed menus are available upon request (one per table, apparently). The digital menu it makes it harder to see the whole concept at once, but it is easier to read in low light. The printed menu who was not laid out very well, even in a bright room. The appetizer menu has some hidden gems with international flavors and delicious combinations. The humus and falafel plate would be in place in a fine dining menu. The side item sweet potato tater-tots are unique and delicious. Traditional fries are great! Prep is inconsistent, with variances in doneness and quality. The ice tea was thin. Medium burgers were served as medium well. The tater-tots were cooked to different shades on each plate. One diner in our party ordered the turkey burger and said it was too dry to finish. The things done right are really good, and it seems that some consistent oversight (management) of production quality and dining room maintenance would make this a place worth going to again. But, until then ..

Very casual but creative menu! I went here with my parents, & we all tried a variety of offerings. I got the Elvis burger which is really fun - topped with peanut butter, bacon, & bananas! Odd but yummy combo! We got an order of sweet potato tots which I highly recommend, the fries are fine but the tots are great!

Station 2 has great burgers! There's many options and I like that I can sub any burger with a vegetarian one. They had both the Impossible Burger and a black bean Patty. I got the black bean burger with the burger that comes with pepper Jack cheese and jalapeños !! The burger itself had a great flavor but it was definitely very messy and falls apart (as most handmade veggie burgers do), so just be prepared for a bit of a mess! Overall, it was very tasty though. I also love their fries. They have a great flavor and they aren't too crispy or soggy. The meal itself wasn't too pricy, so it makes for a great take out option if you want something affordable and to go. Especially for a weeknight. We just grabbed it on Uber eats and got it delivered, but I have eaten at the restaurant before. I really like their outdoor seating area whenever it's warm.

All-in-all I would say our experience was "ok.". Stopped by around 7pm on a Sunday. Didn't look too packed yet the service was extremely slow. It could have just been our waitress since she would disappear and we'd end up finding ourselves playing a scavenger hunt for her in order to place additional drinks, etc. Overall, our food was good but nothing that would have me place this in my list of top places to try out in Richmond since it was a bit out of the way for us and because of the slow service. Nonetheless, everyone seemed to enjoy their burgers and the char-grilled wings were a favorite by everyone at the table.

Absolutely loved the food. The sweet potato tots were very tasty. The mushroom hamburger was excellent but messy. Too full to have dessert. Did start with the deviled eggs.

Burgers! Good eats at this east end neighborhood joint, built into a former fire station. Super casual atmosphere, but super serious approach to their food. Top notch burgers, excellent sides, and lots of good bar options. Get a boozy shake to go! Even if you go for brunch!

What can I say about this place? It's awesome! It's located right near the Poe house museum in Richmond. The burgers are great phenomenal service. It's inside of an old fire house that was owned by the city. Me and my wife and my daughter all went there both had burgers my daughter had a kids meal with tip. We walked out for $55. It's an awesome place to go to great service. I cannot say enough about the service they actually know how to take care of people, and how to treat people, I will be going back so far it's one of my favorite burger places in Richmond I drove from Williamsburg Virginia to go eat at that place. It's worth it!!!!!

Mixed feeling about Station 2 due to two different experiences while dining in. First visit, the Elvis burger was cooked perfectly and I devoured it in minutes. Second visit, got a cheese burger and patty was completely raw in some areas. Red tinted juice was dripping out and soaked the bun, making it red and soggy. Was very disappointing when compared to the awesome burger from the first visit. Servers are nice and come by often. Restaurant is spacious with adequate lighting. Booths are wooden but are comfortable.

Pretty solid little spot. Great burgers that my husband and son ordered. I had the Hawaiian Sun chicken sandwich with the house made chips which was pretty solid. My daughter had the chicken tenders with a Buffalo dipping sauce that she loved. My son loved the sweet potato tots- a must if you like sweet potatoes.

7 years after my first review, and now I live in Station 2's neighborhood! We get takeout from here on a regular basis. Burgers are consistently solid and are at a good price point. It's not something that's going to make your jaw drop but it delivers when needing that burger fixe. The restaurant itself has a really nice, homey vibe. You'll meet some cool people if you sit at the bar. Great draft beer selection and solid happy hour!

Burgers were delish and juicy. House chips looked burnt, but didn't taste burnt. Service was excellent. Waiter was friendly and checked on us at the right times. Ambiance was casual, kick back. There is art on the walls from local artists that you can buy.

So I love the fire station vibes and open concept the doors offer, when opened. Very hipster meets grunge vibe they have going here. I did not order food today because I hadn't been here in a while and forgot they have black bean patties which honestly, I'm food prejudiced against. Sorry, not sorry. So to be clear- THERE IS NO IMPOSSIBLE BURGER SOLD HERE. The boozy milkshakes are also pretty good. The 3 stars are for two MAIN REASONS: 1. They didn't have ANY beer glasses chilled which sounds boogie buuuttttt ‍ 2. I called and asked if they had NFL Ticket. I was told they did but apparently they did not. No biggie, first work problem for sure- but it just annoyed me. Please read this review from the perspective and acknowledgment that I was annoyed. I recall the salads o had here in the past being fresh & tasty. Plus the staff here is SUPER DUPER friendly. Now super random but I had a great overall experience and have immediately put this up to 4 stars because the staff told me where to go AND I met the daughter of the Fire Chief that used to work in that very building before it became a burger spot.

I just love a good server who is friendly, welcoming, attentive, thoughtful and makes great suggestions. Ethan F (name on the receipt) suggested the BBQ sauce for the wings, great choice! I love grilled wings (when cooked right) over fried wings any day. We decided on the engine company 2's fire burger, a great balance of nicely charred meat and fresh veggie toppings. Ethan asked if we wanted to add cheese since it was one of the few burgers that didn't have it, yes please! Then he made sure it came out split in half without us asking so we didn't have to deal with the struggle of me always getting the smaller half since I can't ever cut burgers evenly on my own. He brought a lid for our blue cheese when we asked for a to-go box. He took such good care of us. His girlfriend must be one lucky woman!

We liked it and will be back again. All got burgers, good meat, good cooking, good time and everyone ate their last bite. We got the fried pickles and it was enjoyed. Didn't exactly go with the ranch offered, maybe some form of mustard? And the chili could have used a bit more salt or seasoning. But these were some great burgers, that above we need not picking.

Cool burger joint in an old firehouse. Burgers were excellent and very tasty. I made the mistake of ordering the tater tots not realizing they were of the sweet potato variety. I was not a big fan of those at all. My wife had the fries which were pretty good. Luckily the waitress switched out my tots for these after I asked. Overall a good place to grab a good burger and fries with a good atmosphere and adequate service.

This place has adult milkshakes. They are interesting in terms of how they're handling Covid and are using disposable utensils and plates and you get charged a Covid fee. The burger I ordered was really good however I really did notEnjoy the cocktails I ordered as they were too strong.

This was a great place to dine at for a casual late night dinner. Due to covid-19, most places in Richmond closed at 8-9:00pm and since I eat usually later than normal people, I found this place to be a perfect fit! They close at midnight, but the bar closes at 10:00PM. They are very covid conscious as they have socially distanced seating, QR code online menus, and exclusively use all recyclable plates and plastic utensils. It's not the restaurant's fault, but man, I wish I could have seen what the place was like before covid and see their normal plating. It was sad to see so few people in the restaurant because the food was quite good for a fair price. I can't imagine how much more lively this place would have been sans covid, but it was still such a nice venue with great service. We arrived a little earlier than 9:30PM and thankfully the server allowed us one round of drinks. This is fair since technically the law is that no alcohol is allowed after 10:00PM so just as long as we were finished before that, it was fine. I ordered the Strawberry Lemonade with half the sweetness and it was quite delicious! It made me wish I came earlier because I would have definitely enjoyed having another one or trying one of their adult milkshakes. It paired perfectly with the spicy bacon jalapeño peppers. These were super yummy, and my only slight complaint would be I wish I was given one more because the order is only 4 peppers. We both decided to get burgers and they came out really quickly! My friend got the Beer Cheese Burger and I got the edamame vegan burger with mushroom & Swiss. We got chips & fries as our respective sides and both were also excellent ! I could have ordered another side of chips they were so good. My friend thoroughly enjoyed his beer cheese burger, as it was cooked perfectly to temp and he loved the beer cheese. He only wished he had a little more beer cheese. My Edamame Vegan Mushroom Swiss Burger was great! The edamame puree patty gave it an interesting texture, but I think they did a good job considering it was a edamame and vegan. My only note would be that I wish they gave it some more seasoning and flavour. The mushrooms and Swiss were great with the patty and I would definitely want to come back and try this with the black bean patty. Both burgers were $12 and that was such a steal considering the size of the burgers and sides! :) All in all, I would love to come back and try some of the other appetizers and entrees. Hopefully when covid ends it can gain more business, but until then, it's a very safe place to dine!

Station 2 is a stellar choice for a hearty burger in Shockoe Bottom. A local beer friend and I had just wrapped up happy hour nearby and were headed to the Grand Illumination at the Poe Museum when she suggested stopping back for dinner later on. It was a Friday night and we walked in around 7 pm. Fortunately, we were able to be seated right away! It's a fairly large establishment built in a renovated firehouse. The ambiance is modern but chill while still maintaining the original feel. We were given drink and food menus and were happy to see they offered small pours of all their draft beers. We were confused by the dots next to certain beers. Turns out that they rotate through so many beers that they don't want to waste paper by constantly redoing the menu, so a dot means it's available. No dot means it's on deck. That concept is one I can get behind, but the execution is admittedly confusing. We both had already chosen different beers that interested us before learning that they weren't actually available. I think they need to reconsider the way the menu is organized. I still want to go back whenever they put that strawberry rhubarb​ beer on. Let me know if you see that it's tapped, please! The food menu is much more straightforward​. Go for a burger. That's the​ main attraction. There are several different topping concoctions available, but we both chose the same one: the 'George Orwell' -- burgers topped with two fried eggs, two slices of bacon, and mozzarella cheese. It was served between mayo slathered grilled texas toast. So indulgent! You can choose your protein also: beef, turkey burger, grilled chicken, or vegetarian. I chose the beef and requested it medium well -- "not too pink, but some is okay." It came out well done in actuality, no pink at all, but fortunately it didn't taste burnt and was still good. I'll just know to say "medium" in the future. Our server was a hoot. I don't know if it was part of the firehouse theme, but Josh ran around from table to table -- literally hustled -- looking incredibly stressed out, but he was also extremely pleasant and authentically funny. I've never seen a server able to pull that off before. Our meals were each about $25 after tip, which isn't too crazy. I am curious about more of their burger options and definitely want to try their adult milkshakes sometime too!

We went for brunch on Sunday afternoon and everything was great. I had the chicken and waffles sliders with hash brown potatoes and my wife had the sausage and gravy and two eggs. The menu had plenty to choose from and the food was delicious and the service was excellent. I will be back to try their other menu items soon
