“Fantastic food, nice decor - huge improvement on Peking Tom!”
“That is my only criticism out of everything else: food, service, drinks, were awesome.”
“The food was delicious (the truffle frites are a must), and the drinks are equally good.”
“The fries are terrific, the drink menu terrific with great prices this makes for a great after-work during the week hot spot.”

“The service was excellent and we like the decor (see below however).”
“There's a huge bar and a big dinner area around the back, though we ate in cafe area at the front.”
“The long bar is a great spot to meet friends, and then head to a table to enjoy the food.”View Less
Love the food and drinks. I love this place! One of the few reasonable places in Boston where the food (gruyere cheese fries!) is delicious and tasty, but also the drinks are well-made. Friendly staff (they leave you alone to eat and aren't intrusive) and a chill atmosphere make this place a hidden gem in downtown crossing.…
Upscale Comfort Food.
Kingston Station wins major points for their cocktail list - I had both the Blueberry Collins ($11) and the Flying Dutchman were both well mixed & delicious. The Blueberry Collins is their current
cocktail of the month, and it's dangerously good - super sweet & fruity; I basically couldn't tell I was drinking alcohol.
I ordered the truffle fries and a side of fried macaroni and cheese; I should have known from the waiter's reaction that I didn't need to do so. The order of truffle fries came out, and I was overwhelmed by a massive plate of cheesy, truffle-y goodness. I barely made a dent, even with some help from friends. The baked mac and cheese was good, but wasn't particularly warm by the time it got to me. I also sampled a friend's mini slider; it was a well-seasoned, perfectly cooked mini burger. Yum!
The decor is pretty cute - it's meant to be evocative of a train station, and it is; vintage white subway tiles definitely help to this end. The service is OK; definitely not great.…
Great for happy hour!. The fries are terrific, the drink menu terrific with great prices this makes for a great after-work during the week hot spot.
Great place to meet friends and eat.
Had a great dinner with a group of friends at Kingston Station. The long bar is a great spot to meet friends, and then head to a table to enjoy the food. The owner makes you feel welcome and
comfortable without being obtrusive. Our server was on his toes all night and kept the 8 of us well fed and never without a drink in our hands.
Great variety of dishes on the menu.…
Really awesome fries...Decent Entrees...TERRIBLE service. I have been to Kingston Station twice and both times received horrible service. As someone coming from a service background I can be a little more nitpicky than most, but this was really bad. The first time I went was in May 08, the server was unattentive, leaving drinks (both alcohol and water) empty, the place was empty so we didn't understand why. The last time was unacceptable...drinks were empty, the server forgot to put our appetizers in and when we asked where they were he accused us of not ordering them, and then ignored our table the rest of the night. Not only was our server off, but the bar was a disaster. Drinks were spilled all over and the bartender was really slow. Aside from all of the service issues...the owner is really nice and apologized to our table. The food is pretty good (truffle fries are delish) and the decor is really cute and quaint. However, there are a lot of places in this city with similar menus and better service, so hopefully they can turn their service around.…
