My one visit here was on Dark Lord Eve, so things were a bit different than I'm sure they usually are.
A: The "Station" part of the name is immediately made clear upon approaching the establishment, as it is clearly a retrofitted train station. This lends an obvious and well-exploited theme to the decor, but has the downside of having regular trains passing by quite loudly. An antique engine out on the patio is a nice touch, but some extra space out there wouldn't have hurt - particularly on such a special night. Overall I really enjoyed the feel of the place, but thought it was poorly laid out to support a capacity crowd.
Q: I tried their Rail Hopper IPA, Saison & Garfunkel, BA 666, Raspberry BA 666, Pomegranate Sour, and a couple others. Everything was truly top-notch, and honestly the array of one-off barrel-aged specialities served outside was nothing short of epic. Fantastic.
Service: Everyone was appropriately friendly and helpful. No complaints, but no particular raves to push the score any higher.
Selection: This is a score that gets a major bump because of the unique circumstances of my visit. If limited to the tap lines at the inside bar, I wouldn't have gone above a 3.5 - pretty standard, kind of boring, and no guest beers. Because of the barrel-aged rarities available outside, though, it was one of the absolute best brewpub selections I've ever had the pleasure of sampling.
Overall this was a great place, and did an awesome job putting on a great, fun, welcoming event. Good show, Flossmoor!

It's been more than a few years since I've been here and returned because of a gift certificate I was given a year and a half ago.
Vibe- Still cool because what's not to love about a historic train station and the mystique?
Quality- I ordered a cup of chili that was quite good, but the breakfast burger tasted like a char broiled frozen patty hastily thrown together. The two beers I had were marginal at best.
Service- Inattentive and hurried like they couldn't wait to clock out.
Selection- Full menu with many options and items to choose from.
Food- The quality of the items I had while not terrible weren't worth the money spent. What happened to this place over the years?

Always busy crowd, beers are varied and tasty, so is food. Staff changes somewhat, as in the Brewers and bartenders. their Bourbon aged beers are worth the wait.
Parking is slightly tricky depend time of day.
