Victoria Station (Restaurant)

History

Victoria Station (web site) is a chain of railroad-themed prime rib houses that hit its climax in the seventies but later hit financial troubles and filed for bankruptcy in 1986. The company at one time had some 100 locations all across the U.S. and Canada, but the number has dropped to two, both in Boston. Other locations around the world with the name Victoria Station may be under different management (unverified). The theme of the restaurant is based on the Victorian era steam locomotive. In fact, many of the restaurants used authentic cabooses and boxcars for dining areas.
