Victoria Station restaurant has built it's reputation as the country's premier family restaurant for steaks, seafood and salad.
Victoria Station was also a restaurant, not a railroad station.
Victoria Station is a chain of railroad-themed prime rib houses that was at the peak of its popularity in the 1970s , but filed for bankruptcy in 1986. The concept evolved from a Cornell University Hotel School graduate project, according to original owners Bob Freeman, Peter Lee, and Dick Bradley, graduates of the school. Innovative and unique, the first restaurant was located in San Francisco. The Baby Boom generation was coming into their own, and in the early 70's was looking for casual lounges and restaurants to adopt as their own. Other locations with the name Victoria Station may be under different management (unverified).
THEME
The theme of the restaurant is loosely based on London's Victoria Station. Antique English railway artifacts provided the decor inside, but the exteriors were composed of American Railway cars, primarily boxcars, with a signature Caboose placed in front. On the "entry platform" to each restaurant was an iconic London-style phone booth. Prime rib was the featured item on a limited menu that included steaks , barbecued beef ribs, and shrimp done in a variation of scampi style known as "Shrimp Victoria" Most of the restaurants used authentic railway cars for dining areas. The chain flourished, often flamboyantly, in the 1970s , as recounted in a memoir Prime Rib and Boxcars:Whatever Happened to Victoria Station? by former Victoria Station corporate marketing manager Tom Blake.

DINE IN EXPERIENCE
It was indeed a very great and unforgettable experience dining in Victoria Station. Why? It is very special with the "train" theme and the feeling of having a meal there is different compared to a normal restaurant. Besides, the food there are quite tasty too. The customer service provided are indeed the best and you can see a smiley face in each and every waiter and waitress. In addition, we were given the choice to choose to sit in the smoking or non-smoking zone as the non-smoking zone is a little bit squeezed up. Overall, we had a great day spending time dining in Victoria Station and we were satisfied with everything there. You should try having a meal at Victoria Station if you have not. Guarantee no regrets.
