I come here often(ish) and while the food and the beer selection is always great. I can't get over how poor the service was today. Specifically in regards to the young woman with Indian feathers tattooed on her neck. The restaurant was not busy while we were there yet all the tables stayed dirty through customer rotations, and multiple guests cleaned their own tables.

Instead of coming to the tables to ask if people were ready to order she barked from behind the bar and was incredibly short with our and other tables. None of our food came out remotely at the same time ( very small order) and none of the sauces we asked for came until a different waitress came to help. She spent more time talking and trying her friends at the bars vapes than taking care of her tables. The elderly woman who wasnt our waitress did a lovely job filling in for her mia coworker.

I love and will always support this business but myself and family were very let down with our experience today.

I would still and always will recommend stopping here for a drink and a great hamburger and enjoying lovely...

We stopped here on our way back from our trip down the Sky Road and Shenandoah State Park, we were excited to do so as we had checked over places to eat on our drive back to GA. Whilst we were treated initially quiet well by the first server who gave us menus, we were overlooked by the second server not once but twice. My wife and child had informed me what they wanted and whilst I waited at the table to give my order I was ignored for other people who had just walked in. It’s possibly that we’re not local but it was extremely rude to be ignored and overlooked, a simple hello or would you like something to drink etc would’ve sufficed but instead the server just ignored us. I will say from my observation the initial server was pleasant and the Irish looking chef evidently took pride in his/their work so for that and the fact I didn’t get to taste the food I’ll give the two stars. I’m an easy person to please, you can tell by my previous reviews! It’s simple stuff folks, just lose the attitudes and make people feel like you...

So my wife and I were on our way home from NC and decided to take the Non-Highway/Motorcycle Route and found a Fantastic Little Restaurant!! At first we weren't sure if we were at the right place but we were so Glad we did! It's not real big inside but seats about 25 people and it was Very Busy and the Staff was so Nice, Service was Excellent, Reasonable Prices! So we asked our Waitress what was Good and she said Wings and Burgers are our biggest sellers so my wife and I both got the Wings ( Definitely Top 5 Best Wings We've Ever Tasted) , We Got Fries(Perfectly Cooked) and Hushpuppies(Also Delicious). So The Filling Station will definitely be a stop on our way south or if we decide to take a 5 hr ride on the bike for wings!!

The food here is PHENOMENAL. I got a chili dog with sauerkraut and mustard, upon the recommendation of the waitress. My brother got the Chili Thai wings. Both were delicious 😊 Probably some of the best wings I've had in this area. Everyone is incredibly friendly, both the staff and other people eating. Everyone was so great. I met one of the previous owners who said that the vision behind the creation of The Filling Station was to be more than a convenient store, to be different. They sure did execute on their mission. If you're in the area, this is definitely a local favorite. Try it once and you will understand why. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The atmosphere is homey and the employees are down to earth, friendly folks from the area that know their customers. The food is always freshly cooked with care. Portions and prices are generous and reasonable. The waitress took time to be nice to my daughter and took a photo of her for Facebook. This is a great destination or planned lunch / dinner stop for a day trip. Rt60 is a nice, scenic drive and not far from the blue ridge parkway.
