There are so many sides that there&#8217;s a dish called &#8220;I&#8217;m here for the sides&#8221; ($16 for two, $21 for three, $26 for four).<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps my favorite was the onion hay ($7) because it tasted like Outback Steakhouse&#8217;s Bloomin&#8217; Onion. Meanwhile, the cheddar grits ($7) were dense but still tasty, and the sauce for the Wisconsin mac ($9) was a little watery but had a good flavor from the mix of six cheeses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9259\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240712_192119-300x183.jpg\" alt=\"St. Charles Station\" width=\"300\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240712_192119-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240712_192119-1024x623.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240712_192119-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240712_192119-1536x935.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240712_192119.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Other sides include shrimp etouffee ($11) and corn maque choux ($7).<\/p>\n<p>The entrees include several steaks. The bone-in ribeye ($47) was so thin that it reminded me of a steak you would find in a diner. It was good but super salty, which I hope was a one-time mistake.<\/p>\n<p>The filet mignon ($40) fared better, as it was tender, delicious and not over-salted. I also liked the braised short rib ($34) even though it was shredded and very lean (meaning, no fat to it).<\/p>\n<p>A fish fry ($20) is available in the sea section, but I chose the salmon ($27), which was dry and missing the dill herb butter.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9260\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240712_190304-300x251.jpg\" alt=\"St. Charles Station\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240712_190304-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240712_190304-1024x856.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240712_190304-768x642.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240712_190304-1536x1283.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20240712_190304.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>You can&#8217;t go wrong with any of the soups. The roasted tomato ($6) was delightfully creamy, and the French onion ($10) was loaded with onions in an excellent broth.<\/p>\n<p>However, I was most impressed with the mulligatawny ($9), which sported a delicious curry flavor and perfectly meshed the apples, rice, crema and herbs.<\/p>\n<p>St. Charles Station is open for dinner Wednesday through Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St. Charles Station is a supper club-themed restaurant serving Wisconsin and New Orleans cuisines and housed with Ollie&#8217;s inside the building that was once Liliana&#8217;s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9258,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[10,277],"class_list":["post-9254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-restaurant-reviews","tag-fitchburg","tag-new-orleans"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9254"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9254\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9268,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9254\/revisions\/9268"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
