Mystic Station

The second time was here with my family, before 5pm, and still got lousy service. The waitress stared at our appetizer for quite sometime because we got everything on the side and stated «just doesn’t look right» but it was what we ordered and continued to stand there and stare, which made us uncomfortable. Our meals were ok, never got the second glass of water we were waiting for. They do have a kids menu, however I feel since I was there with my daughters, we again got lousy service.

Pricey but the best place to have food after a few, or 5 cold ones.
Don’t worry about trying to catch a game or a fight they always seem to have the best games on. Big menu selection to keep you coming back.
More on the upscale side so dress up!

I’ve been here several times and the food is always excellent. Great service and a great beer list. Highly recommended.

Mystic Station is a small, cute place located in Malden.
Although I was initially a little put-​off because we were placed near the door on a chilly day when there were tables further in available, I was almost immediately pleasantly surprised by the great service and delicious food!
I opted to «Make [My] Own Masterpiece;» I had a veggie burger with buffalo sauce, tomatoes, lettuce, and onions. It was absolutely delicious! I’ve had my share of veggie burgers, and this one was definitely one of the best. The burger also came with a tasty side of fries (which were the perfect mixture of potato-​y and crispy). The dish also came with a generous-​sized pickle. Although I do not personally like pickles, I’m guessing all the pickle-​lovers out there would be pleased with taste and size.
Because of the delicious food, cozy environment, and attentive service, I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Malden area!

Went here on a whim on a Friday, with no real agenda other than we needed food and beer. Turns out, this place is great!
Decent size and diverse beer list. They let you order 5 oz. samples of their beers on draft, which is fantastic for people, like us, who like to try new beers but don’t necessarily want to commit to a whole 12 oz. They also offer many local breweries (Nightshift and Aeronaut), which is AWESOME.
We ordered sandwiches, which were large and filling. Nothing out of the ordinary, but they were well done and satisfying.
ORDER THEIR FRIED PICKLES. JUST DO IT. The best I’ve had in Boston, by far.
I would definitely come here again, either just for drinks or for drinks and food. It’s a great find for people in the area — it’s pretty rare for this type of pub to be around in the north Boston suburbs. We’ll be back!

Great beer selection — a lot of craft beer, and much of it local to New England! Friendly staff walking around. Trivia night was fun. A great place to hang out with friends. The menu looked good but we only had a liquid dinner. Will have to go back to try the food.

This is quite the find in Malden, wha a hidden gem. Look at that chalk board full of beers, mostly or all local! Great wings, and other bar food, even a bit high end. The prices are more than reasonable. The restaurant is not big, but they make it work with a cozy atmosphere and a large bar which seats plenty. The owners are there all the time and checking on you, giving you that neighborhood feel.
My favorite spot in Malden to grab a good beer, and also go on a date with the wife. The versatility of this place should amaze you.

Great place to grab food and drinks! Top recommendation would be the buffalo chicken pockets! Friendly staff, great service, nice atmosphere! Dawn and Joe are the best!

The cocktail I had («New Fashioned») was great, the burger I ordered was prepared exactly the way I wanted. I also had the arancini appetizer which was fantastic. The marinara was sublime, and would also be great on pasta, pizza and as a burger topping option. Service was friendly and prompt.

I absolutely love this local gem. The food and service are excellent! The buffalo chicken dip as an appetizer is so delicious and cheesy. They have an extensive beer selection and their house drinks are really good. If you’re looking for a good juicy burger this is the place to go. My boyfriend and I have also tried the turkey tips, bbq pulled pork sandwich, buffalo chicken sandwich (exactly like the buffalo chicken dip), and many of their specials. We’ve never been disappointed. The restaurant itself is small and intimate, however the downside of this is there isn’t a waiting area so it can get tight if there are a lot of people.

The food is amazing, the waitresses new the menu and the owner was friendly and a great greeter. Steak tips A– mazing

I come here for dinner with a bunch of friends every now and again. Beer list is good, fried pickles are tasty, and the staff is generally stellar. I’ve been happy with the grilled cheese and club sandwiches I’ve ordered. Once we came here and there was an embarrassing bro cover band, but I don’t think that is a regular occcurance.
Prices are good and this place adds a much needed casual but nice dining option to Malden.

This place is awesome. If I lived here I would be a regular, but I’d have to take out a 2^nd mortgage… or leave the family home.
Excellent service, even though bartender was holding down the whole place. She had good beer suggestions for me, because it’s hard to decide when you like everything.
The beers were excellent. I liked the Tribute dbl ipa from 14^th Star Brewing, best.
Mac & cheese skillet was better than buffalo chicken skillet in my opinion, but that is only because the Buffalo chicken was just like every buffalo chicken dip I’ve ever had AND the mac & cheese was THAT good (though overpriced).
Burgers were very good and the fries, both sweet and regular potato, we’re excellent. The burgers would have been perfect if they hadn’t been overcooked. Asked for medium and they came out well. They had goodness to spare though, so no complaints… My son had the jalapeño burger and it was so tall I didn’t think he could bite it.
All in all a very fun and exciting meal… if the mac & cheese was $ 7 and the burgers weren’t overcooked I’d have given this place 5 stars.

I really liked this place. They have a great drink menu with local beers and craft cocktails. I like that the cocktails aren’t too pretentious that you don’t want to drink any of them. The bartenders were all really friendly.
Can’t really speak to the food as we only grabbed a plate of nachos (which were good). I’d definitely come back

We stopped into this little bar and eatery on a Tuesday afternoon after hearing about them on a featured segment on Boston’s WBZ.
The buffalo Mac and Cheese and the buffalo chicken dip were absolutely amazing! I tried the jalapeño burger and found it to not be nearly spicy enough despite being told it was spicy.
The location is really nice and the service was some of the best I’ve had in some time. I wasn’t sure about a few of the beers so the server gave us 1oz samples of some of them which was great.
It is a neat little restaurant, definitely try it! It does lean more toward a bar however, it doesn’t feel like one with nice booths and great table service.

Our waitress was holding down the fort all by herself and she kicked ass! I had the raspberry mojito which was delicious and my husband had a few captain & cokes which were yum-​o.
We got the fish tacos for an appetizer, not too shabby. The fish was tender and the sauce they drizzled on top was amazzzzing.
For lunch I had the steak tips with sweet potato fries & sauteed broccoli. The steak tips were cooked perfect, the fries were tasty but honestly the broccoli was my favorite part, I don’t know what they do to it but hot damn don’t stop!
The mister had the bacon burger & fries. His burger was a little over cooked but was still juicy.
This is the perfect place to go to for a nice lunch or date night.

I’m glad I held true to my word, what’s that word you ask? Whenever I give a bad review to a place that has mostly good reviews, unless they insulted me, I go back and give it another try. So I went back in on Monday night with my son. We both had burgers, and they were tasty and as important, cooked perfect. I opted for the sweet potato fries and he got the regular, had I known the regular fries were that good, I would have got them, I believe they are seasoned maybe with just salt and pepper but regardless very good. So the staff wears Tshirts that read «we don’t have bud light on draught» I find this insulting to people who want a bud light, but I’m not one of them, I personally think that bud light is one of the most horrific beers in the world. That said, it does outsell all beers 3 – 1 (that carry it) in every bar /​restaurant in America. Fact: Americans like terrible beer.
Now having destroyed this place the first time around, I don’t want to make this a giant love fest. A few things wont allow me to get this place to 5 stars. The first, upon entering (they have patio seating on the sidewalk) a dog scared the shit out of me and my son both barking like a lunatic at us. While I appreciate dogs and the owners who love them, unless they are a service dog, keep your pets home, I don’t see the need for them at a restaurant. I appreciate them being part of the family, but again if it barks at people like that, keep fido home. The 2^nd thing and much like the first time I went, there’s no greeter or host, I’m not sure if this is a Monday thing or not, but the bartender who can be busy, is the one who had to tell me «anywhere you like». Maybe a sign that says seat yourself? Maybe I missed it? Lastly, it was hard to find a clean table, It could be that the people just left and that’s the table I chose, but again, if you have a hostess or a greeter then this is not an issue, because I’m sure they would clean it or find a clean table for you. Finally I ordered an IPA first one on the menu this night, it said served with an orange peel, but mine didn’t have one? Maybe I read it wrong ?
So my thoughts on this place, I think it lives up to it’s Unilocal reviews, I think the owners care, I think they put out a quality product and I think the first time around I caught them on an off night. Now if Malden Square could just figure out the parking… Tear down that awful city hall…

A seemingly inconspicuous place that we chose for the outdoor seating because we had our dog with us. But to my surprise, the food and service was spot on! There were only 2 outdoor tables and it was really hot out but the umbrellas helped with the shade a bit. The interior is pretty spacious and trendy, with a long bar and lots of surrounding tables.
I had the turkey club with sweet potato fries and my parents had the fish and chips and hamburger. Everything was delicious! The turkey club had really amazing bacon on it. The sweet potato fries were just how I like them. The fish and chip plate was huuge, with fat pieces of nicely battered white fish (not sure what kind of fish to be exact). And the fries that came with it were really good. No word on the burger but my dad ate all of it and then some so it must have been tasty.
The food was good but what really shone was the service! The waitress was incredibly sweet and provided us with a lot of water because it was so hot out. She even got a small tray to put water in for our dog. Even though we were seated outside she was very attentive. Later, a guy who I presume to be the owner added ice to the water for our dog. He even gave him some bacon. Feed my dog and win my love easily. Really glad we stopped by for food and while I’m not in Malden often, I would likely come back here if I am!

Updating my review based on the terrific service we received from Mary for lunch. She was informative about the specials and beer on tap. They ran out of the Moscow Mule but recommended the iced Irish Coffee which was amazing. I even received extra Irish cream on the side, which is made in-​house.
Loved the huge nacho app with guacamole too. The pico, guac, and chips arrived fresh and definitely could feed 4 people easily. The Mediterranean tray was also a nice salty snack while we waited for our entrees.
Unfortunately, I could not finish my small chile because it was too rich and I was halfway into a coma from the apps but it’s certainly one must try.

This place was great. The owner was working behind the bar when we walked in for our first time and he cheerfully said, «HEY! How are you?! Come on in!» Quite the welcoming for not being regulars. He asked if we wanted a table or seat at the bar and we said we were good with either and said he had two seats at the bar right in front of him. Best decision we made as he took great care of us. He recommended dishes (as the owner — that’s gotta be kinda tough, no?) and what was a great sign — is that all the patrons around us were raving about the place and were clearly regulars — telling us about all their favorite dishes and the history of the spot — how the new owner took it over and has been doing the place more than justice. Apparently whatever it was before was well liked as well.
Anyways — as for recommendations — first of all — the beer list is fantastic. They had Green Flash Palate Wrecker and I killed it. So good. My wife had a sour beer (she loves sours) and loved it as well. I had a hankering for wings and they make their buffalo sauce with Absolut Peppar and it was KILLER. I could’ve used them a little more crispy — but that’s a personal preference. The couple next to us recommended the Buffalo Chicken grilled cheese and it definitely did not disappoint. We also got the Jalapeño Burger — and I’ve never ordered a Jalapeño Burger but the owner recommended it — it was KILLER. The smell was smoky — the taste was epic.
I mean… we finished everything on our plates and were in food comas when we left. The only thing we didn’t finish was the fries and 2 onion rings. We took them home they were that good. That tells you something.
We’ll be back — and honestly — I hope to become a regular because they treated me like one and even challenged me to remember the owner’s and one of the regular patron’s names for next time (Brian and Steve — I GOT THIS).
Loved it!
