| - Station 43 is a cool roadhouse style tavern on Aurora Road near where Geauga Lake used to be. The outside is nothing special, but the inside is cool with a dining room on one side and a bar room on the other. The decor is centered around old firehouse pieces which gives the place a welcoming warm feeling. Service is good and friendly with a nice staff.
The menu is pretty much the usual assortment of burgers, sandwiches, pizzas and other items. I started with the sauteed shrimp app, which was 5 good sized shrimp nicely cooked and dusted with a spice rub and a butter dipping sauce. A bit different then I would have thought for sauteed shrimp, but tasty and a good start to the meal. For dinner I had the Perch Sandwich, two large breaded perch fillets on a good bun with lettuce and tomato. The fish was ok, but the breading was a bit too thick so it overwhelmed the fish a bit. The coleslaw and tarter sauce were both about what you would expect, just fine, but nothing to write home about (or really give much of a mention in a Yelp review). The highlight of the dinner was the large portion of sweet potato fries, crisp on the outside, wonderfully sweet and just the right amount of starchy on the inside, I would highly recommend them especially as they are a free option instead of regular fries.
Station 43 serves good food in large portions in a cozy atmosphere, the flavors are good, but generally nothing too challenging or exciting. A good place to stop in for a nice meal.
