The Pour Station

Terrible business model. Gave two stars because workers were friendly and food wasn’t all bad. You have to order your food at the bar and where we were sat there was people waiting in line to order at the bar so it made it kind of crowded at times. Gave the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe it was just ordering. I asked for water when our server came to ask if we needed anything and they pointed me to the self serve station on the other side of the restaurant. Also noticed there is an additional fee for paying with card. Gratuity is also added on for 5 or more people which is weird since the servers weren’t doing much to begin with if I have to get up order myself and get my own drink. There was too many employees just standing around to also make a customer get their own water and put in their order. Definitely won’t be coming back. Plenty of other places to get breakfast. Save your money.

The ambiance and choice of decor is the best part about this place. It has so much potential but sadly fell very short of perceptions and expectations. The coffee was terrible. It tasted burnt as if the filters had not been changed or had leftover burnt grounds. The water is served from a 5 gallon jug that clearly gets filled from the faucet. The food is way overpriced for what it is and is sadly not very appetizing. the spinach omelet we ordered had literal garlic halves inside of it, it was way too much garlic and not minced. The burger patty was tiny for a 13$ burger. The brunch potatoes were greasy and cold. I was hoping this place would be the "different" place or "change" that Harlingen needs. The idea is nice but execution is extremely poor.

Edit: we went during Mother’s Day for brunch (2023). We hadn’t been there since they first opened but I was hoping for the same atmosphere. We knew going in that there’d be a wait. They have closed half the restaurant. They took away a lot of the tables and it’s just big benches so no cozy atmosphere. We didn’t wait long. We got seated and then were told that you order at the bar. The prices were ridiculous. I understand places are short-staffed and prices everywhere went up. But we saw a lot of servers just standing around, talking, clearing tables. I would have rather gone to IHOP - you get more food for similar and you still get waited on. It was Mother’s Day - I didn’t want that sort of service where I have to get up. So we left. Don’t think I’ll be going back. So sad because it was a neat place.

From a year ago: Super cute place! I really enjoyed the atmosphere. We came on a Saturday morning and they said wait was 30 minutes for two people, sat within 15 mins. Food came out fast. Coffee was a little sweet. Prices are comparable to other places like IHOP. Great place for groups, family and friends. Great photo ops. We will be back!

Save your money. Service is horrible took about 45 min to seat us mind you there was tables available. They don't take orders from table you have to get up and order from bar, inconvenience when you have a party of 6 & 2 babies. Asked specifically if eggs are fresh and they said yes, but they were out of a carton. Def overpriced for what quality of food and service they give. Bunch of 20 year olds standing around doing a whole bunch of nothing. Payed $160 to wait our selfs.

This business model is terrible. You can only order at the bar even if the place is empty. You need to pay with cash (exact change only) or cashapp. Then they “forgot” to put in half our order. Worst customer service. If you’re thinking of eating here don’t.

The menu change and way you order food really made this place suffer. It used to be a nice unique spot with really cool features we hadn't seen in harlingen. Now it's just as generic as any other small restaurant in town. Similar menus too. What a shame. I actually walked out of a restaurant for the first time today because I just didn't want anything on the "new" generic menu. Really unfortunate. Pour Station used to be the highlight of my weekend. Guess it's IHOP or Dennys now.

Got the Papa Con Huevo Breakfast Taco and black Americano. The food and coffe was awesome. Service was great and atmosphere was very pleasant

It’s a wait but it’s a cute spot to have breakfast. :) the yogurt and fruit, eggs and potatoes were really good. Enjoyed my time watching holiday movies and eating breakfast on a relaxing Saturday.

The food was overpriced and not great. The portion on the fajita and eggs is ridiculous also the chicken and waffles isn't great. I had alot of hope this new place. Customer service was good. Maybe we just need to try something else. They also advertise bring your own champagne and make your own mimosas. So we tried it. We took two personal size champagne bottles and got charged $5 for byob.

Super yummy brunch options! Eggs over easy were on-point. Great service, friendly staff clean, comfortable and pleasant atmosphere.
