Station Tavern & Burgers is located in San Diego's hip South Park neighborhood. The family-friendly restaurant has a big backyard with picnic tables that encourage communal dining. The backyard also includes a kids' play area with a mini-trolley. If guests are inclined to bring the family dog out to eat, they're also welcome in the outdoor dining area.

It's no wonder Station Tavern was named "Best Restaurant for Hipster Parents" by San Diego Magazine. Their signature burger is 1/3-pound ground Angus Chuck with veggies on a toasted bun. On Thursdays, this burger is offered as a special and topped with herbed goat cheese. The restaurant serves other sandwiches and salads, including vegetarian options, and has a full bar.
