Food: Filling, fair but flavorless
The Filling Station has some popular dishes with generous portions, namely their Blueberry Pancakes, Cinnamon French Toast, and Breakfast Sausage. Reviews, however, note a lack of creativity and subpar taste quality. The food freshness straddles the line, delivered occasionally fresh and flavorful, and at times, the opposite.
Large Portions
Generous portions widely praised for adding to the dining experience.
Okay Taste
Experience meh, food is soso, crispy fries added an extra star.
Not Creative
Menu's lack of originality and predictability disappoints; nothing stands out.
Top 3 dishes at The Filling Station Cafe
- 1
Blueberry Pancakes 🏆
Bursting with fresh blueberries; moist, buttery, and comforting.
- 2
Cinnamon French Toast
Soft, perfectly cooked with a delightful cinnamon flavor.
- 3
Breakfast Sausage
Sausage was often described as the best, delicious, and perfectly seasoned.
Vibe: Loud yet leisurely ambiance
The Filling Station nails the ambiance with its cozy, unique, and stylish decor. Live music accompanies the dining experience while providing a delightful staging for date nights. Falling slightly short is the outdoor seating - pleasant but not memorable, losing a bit of that winning charm.
Great For Dates
Private, cozy, or romantic locations deemed great for date nights.
No Views
Outdoor seating nice, but meals underwhelming and not memorable.
Perks: Parking pains, loud long waits
The customer service could use some polish, with slow, inattentive service reported. The parking situation is another major letdown, especially during peak times. The lack of a reservation system doesn't help either, contributing to long waits. The outdoor seating gets a mixed review, offering both sun and shade.
Great For Pets
Extremely dog friendly, with special amenities and a welcoming atmosphere.
Okay Outdoor
Outdoor seating offers a mix of sun and shade, with a nice atmosphere.
Hard To Reserve
Long waits and no reservation system can make dining inconvenient for guests
