About the Station Tavern By Derrik Chinn SIGNONSANDIEGO STAFF WRITER
Back in the '20s, trolleys en route from Golden Hill to downtown used to stop at the triangular lot at the corner of Fern and Ivy. So when piecing together his house of burgers, spuds and suds, it made sense for Sam Chammas to run with the train theme, much like he did with the neighboring Whistle Stop. Architect Lloyd Russell reflected that in his design as much as possible, from the building's triangular shape that resembles a train station to the pieces of original track that trim the property. More mentionable as far as design is concerned are the solar panels atop the tower. Aside from the fact that they generate 30 kilowatts daily -- a third of the electricity needed to power the coolers. Simple cookout cuisine served on tin trays and paper plates sums up the menu. Nubby burgers of ground chuck, turkey, black bean and chickpea varieties taste like something your dad would have cooked on the grill, and sides consist mainly of spuds, be it French, garlic, sweet potato or tater tot. Seating is half indoors, half out. A fleet of communal picnic tables fill the spacious yard, one of which is 20 feet long is referred to as "the Viking Table." That, along with the backyard food, feeds into the illusion that you're at extended family reunion with a bunch of relatives you barely know, strangers of a similar genre. Or at a kid-friendly beer garden. You pick.
