Central Station Restaurant

I’m not sure I want to give up this little gem, they’re making my breakfast easy and amazing. I love the “handsome breakfast sandwich”!

You’ll want to enter in on their side door between Lynx and Central. I oughta park on Lynx if I dine here, and use central for PU.

Their food is fresh and tastes amazing, way better than Tim Hortons, and no line early in the morning around 0800. Had my breakfast ready in less than 10 minutes! Amazing.

If you’re looking for a low budget, friendly, cozy diner, Central Station Restaurant in Dunkirk, NY is absolutely worth checking out and experiencing for yourself. With excellent staff and service, you won’t be surprised they remember you when you come back for seconds.
Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted as soon as you walk through the door. On the occasion when the diner is running at max capacity, you won’t have to wait long. They will surely make space for you at the drop of a hat. Even though you will have one main waitress/waiter, you will likely be served by multiple people. They share responsibility all throughout the restaurant to ensure that everyone is receiving adequate service. Turning your eyes to the menu, you will see that there is plenty of variety, yet not too much variety where you can become overwhelmed. How much choice does one really want, eh? After deciding upon the dish of your desire, your food will be procured with the utmost care from very skilled chefs. This is an excellent time to enjoy the company of your fellow diner go-er/go-ers. Not too short, yet not too long after, you will pleasantly find a wonderfully prepared meal right in front of you for the taking. The portions are great and will likely leave with leftovers for later. It’s hard to find a restaurant that combines excellent service with outstanding and consistent food. Central Station Restaurant has it all.

TL;DR: delicious food with even better service! Prices are extremely reasonable too.

I came in for lunch as I was in town. The facilities were extremely clean and I was greeted with a smile. Carmen was my server, she was so sweet and gave me good recommendations. I got the special: cheddar bacon burger with waffle fries (Carmen recommended the waffle fries as do I).

Food came out within 10-15 minutes of ordering, food is served with two (I expected slices but I'm not complaining) pickle wedges. The food was great, nothing undercooked and everything went well together great. The burger only cost $9 and I probably would've paid at least 12-15 for it, plus it comes on grilled sourdough! The waffle fries were fried to perfection, crispy and seasoning in every bite.

I would come here again, she says they have a great Friday fish fry that I want to try next time I'm out here!

Not only is the food fresh and delicious. The same staff has been working there for as long as i remember. And you know when a place keeps the same staff for a long time, you're bound to feel the teamwork come through the dishes they serve. Central station is a staple of our community. You should eat there.

I was passing thru on the way to New York with family and we stopped here. The food was so good. We got eggs hashbrowns omelet a breakfast wrap and pancakes. All of it was amazing the pancakes were the best I've had. The coffee was a blessing after a string of bad gas station coffee. They were so sweet to us when we ordered iced tea and we didn't like it because it had raspberry in it. Were from Texas and it's not how we do tea. All and all if your passing by stop in the amazingly friendly staff and small hometown feel will warm you up. The portions will stuff your belly.

The honey glazed chicken sandwich was delicious. And am sold on the sweet potato fries yum 😋. Definitely coming again when I am in town.

*and I did. This time breakfast was a banging. Steak, egss, hash browns and a toast! Until next time…😋

The Google location is correct. We ended up doing a lap around the block because we just did not see it the first time and we were looking for it. Once inside I found a clean, inviting local diner with some obvious locals enjoying their lunches. The food was very well prepared. I had the Chiavetta's marinated chicken wrap. Excellent. There is outdoor seating alongside the building and I am sure it would be very nice in warmer weather during the summer. I will definitely return to try more from the menu.

Central Station has everything you'd expect from a neighborhood diner: abundant selection, reasonable prices, generous portions and a welcoming staff. Our group of five ordered off the Sunday Specials menu for our sister's birthday brunch. Everything from the peach compote pancakes to the smoked salmon omelet was exceptional. Service was fast and the food was hot and delish!

Originally came because the other restaurant a block away was packed. Im glad I did come here. The food was really good. I ordered breakfast food. Im not a fan of bacon, and I dont know what kind of bacon they use ... but it was crisp and perfect. I devoured it. The potatoes were perfect-not burnt or overcooked. The pancakes were huge! It's very filling, and it tasted good, too. I will definitely be back again

Very friendly people & great food! Busy on Father's Day as would be expected, but coffee refills were prompt and made then time to by to spend time with dad catching up!

I had a great experience while ordering my office'sl unch yesterday. The young lady that took my order was so sweet and kind. I will definitely be ordering again from them soon

The food was delicious and prompt, cooked well and expertly seasoned. Was able to get in and out with time to spare on a 45 minute lunch break and a semi-full diner!

All the food we had was great- and the prices are incredibly reasonable! (They even had beer and cider bottles for $3.75-$4.50) Sweet potato fries are a must!

Reccomend stopping in whether you're a local or on the road through Dunkirk. Service is cordial and efficient, and we really enjoyed our meal!

We have enjoyed lunch here a couple of times, but had the fish dinners for the first time tonight, and they were absolutely excellent. It was very busy, but our table was ready soon, service was very prompt, polite, and accommodating. We would not have minded a bit of a wait for our order, but it came quite quickly, was hot, ample, and utterly delicious. The waitress and owner each asked us twice how everything was and thanked us for the patronage. We will be certainly be back, and won't be getting our fish dinners anywhere else. Thank you for a great meal!!

Central Station was great! We got takeout on a Friday and the fish fries were amazing! Some of the family had the beer battered and I had the pan fried, both were fantastic. Sides were also great 👍. I also got the coconut shrimp and they were crunchy and very flavorful. The dipping sauce wasn't my jam, but overall great. The only criticism I have is just attention to detail...
Tartar sauce was missing in half the fish fries. They forgot my soup (hubs said that the clam chowder was awesome) that I ordered, but didn't give me any issue when I came back in to get it.
It's one of a few local places so it was of course busy on this beautiful fall evening, staffing seemed to not be an issue, but the gentleman that was at the counter cashing me out was def flustered and overwhelmed. He wasn't the friendliest but wasn't unfriendly either.

Overall though a great first time experience that my family enjoyed! We look forward to frequenting this restaurant in the future and I can't wait to try breakfast!!

Enjoyed every bite of my meal- cooked to Perfection and piping hot! Wait staff very Attentive, nice atmosphere, clean bathrooms. Would definitely go back!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE! I MEAN EVERYTHING! EVERY THURSDAY MORNING I DO COURTSIDE MINISTRY FEET AWAY FROM THEIR FRONT DOOR N I'M GREETED BY CARMEN WITH A HUGE SMILE N KIND WORDS EVERY TIME! MY FAVORITE FAVORITE THING FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT IS THEIR PHENOMENAL BROWNIES!! OMG, FOLKS...DO YOURSELF A SOLID N GET 1 BROWNIE. JUST 1 IS ALL YOU'LL NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU GO BACK N GET MORE!! I ALWAYS ORDER A SHEET OF THEM FOR OUR CHURCHES ANNUAL PICNIC IN THE PARK. THEY GO FAST N A SHEET IS A WHOLE LOTTA BROWNIES!! THEIR BREAKFAST SANDWICHES ARE PERFECT FOR THE START OF THE DAY. IF YOU DON'T WANT A SANDWICH EVERYTHING ON THEIR BREAKFAST MENU IS PHENOMENAL AND OH LETS NOT FORGET THE FRIDAY FISH FRY!! OUTSTANDING FOOD N SERVICE AT CENTRAL STATION. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO N YOUR KINDNESS TO THE VOLUNTEERS OF CSM! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!

The food was awesome. We had eggs florentine. The hollandaise sauce was wonderful. Service is excellent. Everyone was friendly. Our server Stacey went above and beyond awesome customer service! We stopped here on our way from Cleveland to Buffalo. Would definitely come back here!
