Burger Station 120
InlandA locally owned Harriman burger spot with a railroad theme, hand-cut fries, and a menu that goes well beyond burgers.
The name and the decor lean into the railroad theme, which fits the Harriman area, and the food leans into American comfort. The kitchen produces hand-cut fries that come up in nearly every positive account, and the burgers are built with fresh patties and quality ingredients. The L&N burger is the most named item on the menu, with specific callouts for the bun integrity, the fancy lettuce, and the fact that it holds together under a full topping load.
The menu extends well beyond burgers. The brisket is tender and well-seasoned. Loaded baked potatoes are a meal in themselves; the chili-loaded version is large enough for two. Hot dogs, chopped steak, chicken fried steak, chicken baskets, and wings are all on the menu. The chopped steak comes with bourbon glaze poured over the top by default; request it on the side if you want control over the sweetness level.
The Crazy Cakes, which are funnel cake-based desserts with toppings, have their own reputation and get featured during anniversary promotions. Milkshakes are available. The ranch dressing is a standout condiment worth asking for.
Service is friendly and fast. Arriving near closing can produce slower service; plan for an earlier visit to get the full experience. The dining room is cheerful and the railroad theme works without being heavy-handed.
This is Roane County comfort food done right. It's the kind of place where an out-of-town visitor drives by, decides to stop, and then tells friends about it.
