Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Since there’s no other option in this station I gave it a try despite the bad reviews, looks like they have a new manager or something because the salad I ordered has no issues and i could even hear the manager putting some order around, but if I were the owner I would just change the name and start anew"
"Rápido y sin problema. El camarero muy majo. Un par de ensaladas por 7,95€ cada una. Ricas y abundantes"
"He pasado muchas veces por esta estación y nunca consumido nada en este establecimiento. Me ha sorprendido gratamente tienen una carta variada , ensaladas platos combinados, etc etc En mi caso pedi un plato de pechuga de pollo a la lancha con ensalada y patatas fritas h una caña de cerveza bastante grande. El servicio es muy profesional un solo camarero se ocupa de atender todas las mesas unas veinte o más y lo hace con agrado y rapidez. Bueno bonito y barato Volveré"
"El café muy bueno. Para hacer la espera amena no está mal el sitio. Y la verdad es que me atendieron muy bien (una chica de pelo corto rizado rubia con gafas de pasta negra). 4€ por un café americano y un croissant. También tienen churros y porras. Ración de 3 unidades a 2,05€."
"La comida estaba muy rica, y hay calidad precio. Pero el ambiente es ambiente de ruido, con gente estresada que no para de empujar para pasar. El personal es muy amable y atento El agua me pareció cara (3,95€) pero lo compensa la comida Las raciones bien"
"Sin alardes ni pretensiones, el establecimiento ofrece lo que de él cabe esperar: un lugar de tránsito junto a una estación de tren en que se puede comer, tomar algo, ir al WC y dejar pasar el tiempo hasta tu tren. Está bien próximo a la entrada a la estación y es accesible para personas con movilidad reducida. Esta generalmente limpio y no se admiten mascotas. La atención ha sido correcta. Los precios atienden al emplazamiento. Es decir, caros respecto a lugares menos concurridos. Como ejemplo, 1,65€ el cortado de sobre de la fotografía adjunta. En líneas generales, el lugar es correcto."
"Good enough for the price and location (train station). Is right next to a Burger King, and for me, that's no brainer. Callitos a la madrileña was way better than the entrecot, so I recommend going for the local dishes. Be aware that the kitchen closes at 16, then just coffee and sweets until 21."
"Profesionales,amables y rápidos. El mejor lugar para desayunar o comer en Chamartín. Buenas carnes,mejores ensaladas y platos de cuchara excelentes. Muy buena relación calidad precio. Higiene máxima. Muy buena climatización. No han subido mucho los precios y eso se agradece mucho. Los menús son muy buenos."
