“ Great food, friendly servers, welcoming atmosphere. Pets welcomed in outside area with bowls of water. ”
“ Was wanting a meatball sub sooo bad.. been passing this place for years! And I .. Of course I pulled already knowing what I want thanks to yelp! The service was cool nothing over the top & nothing to be displeased about. But that white chocolate bread pudding was worth every dime! Visited 2 more times since then! The atmosphere gives local staple/ mom&pop shop.. outdoor /indoor seating.. and they're pet friendly for all the good boys and girls out there! ”
“ Service and food amazing. Friendly local neighborhood joint. I recommend anything they offer on the menu ”
“ Pizza is good and atmosphere is nice if you are sitting in the covered patio. We've shown up for Monday night bingo a few times and really enjoyed ourselves. Pet friendly is always a bonus. ”
“ I enjoyed visiting The Filling Station. I heard the buffalo shrimp pizza was amazing and it lived up to the hype! The house ranch set every other topping off. The star was the blue cheese and buffalo sauce! Very good pizza!! ”
“ The burger I ordered was outstanding!! I will definitely go back next time I'm in town. All the people who was working was very friendly and polite the place I sat was very laid back and comfortable.. I would highly recommend this place ”
“ Great service. Love the "build your own slice" option any time of day. My favorite is the Eggplant Alfredo. But I tried a new thing this time - - the Old World stromboli (prosciutto, spinach, caramelized onions and buffalo mozzarella served with a side of alfredo sauce). It was delicious and massive, ended up being 3 meals! They keep local beers on tap, sports on all the TVs inside and out. Patio is a great option! Parking in the lot is easy and ample. ”
