The Filling Station

Tasty local spot with loads of unique flavors on their homemade chips, pork rinds, fries, and tots! It’s very clean and all the ladies who work there are friendly and have great recommendations if you’re not sure what to get!

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!! Remember to Never Judge a Book by its Cover and that goes for Restaurants too! So Glad We Stopped at The Filling Station!!

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.

Wow the food is amazing!! Awesome selection of beers. I just moved this way from the SW and had my first ever fried green tomatoes, WOW. Where have these been all my life?! They were perfect! The staff here is super awesome and friendly. This is my new favorite spot.

Great place to just hang out. They had two great bands playing live.

Cheesy western’s Texas toast, yellow relish, bacon, cheese, and burger was oh so good. But enough for two. We enjoyed the service and casual atmosphere inside a long-standing gas station.

Needed to pump gas and grab a quick bite, to my surprise, there was a restaurant inside of this little gas station, ordered a couple of burgers and chicken tenders, food was great, took a bit but worth the wait. Have a huge selection of beers as well.

Tasty food, friendly service, cute space. What more do you want? We weary travellers arrived late and were quickly served with a smile: cold beverage, good BBQ, and crispy fries. Definitely coming back.

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.

This is one of the best places to grab a bite to eat in Amherst. I’m no regular but I have been coming here for a while and have never been disappointed. The burgers are great and the dogs are pretty good too. A pretty good variety of options are offered in the menu or you can choose to build your own. They always have some fresh local beer on tap and growlers to go if needed. The staff here has always been attentive and never let you go without. If your in the area this is a great spot to grab a quick bite to eat.

Took my son to The Filling Station in Amherst yesterday. We went early before the dinner rush and was glad because it can become packed. He got a chili cheese hot dog, I got a double cheese burger with bacon, and we split a basket of fries. We both really enjoyed the food and service was great. After Sids is Mad Hts closes well probably be visiting The Filling Station more often.

Ate there for the first time last weekend. The servers are very friendly, the atmosphere is very fun..loved the trivia on the tv. The 2 guys cooking were awesome! They didn't stop dropping burgers, fries, making to go orders, and cleaning the whole time we were there, and they just rolled. We'll be back!

Amazing burgers and fresh pork rinds! Huge selection of beer and ciders. Awesome local place. Staff was so friendly!

Went in for quick to go meal. We got a cheeseburger and BBQ plate. The food was hot and tasted good. Staff was friendly. The only complaint was no salt on fries. We had left before we realized and I didn't have salt in the truck. Not a huge deal though. We will certainly eat here again when traveling through!

Love this place for what it is. They’re not trying to be fancy, but they level up the restaurant-in-gas-station experience. Nice beer selection, both on tap and bottles and cans. Good basic pub food - burgers, fried goodness, etc. Friendly owners and staff.

Everything I order there has always been good. But today I had the fish sandwich and it was soooo good. Best fish sandwich I've had in a while.

The filling station food is so good, especially when Kyle Sanchez is cooking for you.

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is trendy/nice! Seating is limited during busy hours. The burgers, fries, homemade potato chips, fried pickles/jalepenos - all fresh and delicious! Best beer selection around. Bike rack out front makes it easy to enjoy the bike lanes around town with the family and stop in here for a break! Kid-friendly.

My dad and I go hunting down here on our friend’s property. One time before leaving Stafford, my dads friend told us about this gas station in Amherst that makes good burgers. We came and tried it out back in November and we’re very impressed. We visited our second time in December and the owner came by and introduced himself. Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere and probably the best burgers I’ve had on the road! That Carolina burger was delicious. Also enjoyed their fried green tomatoes and onion rings. Can’t wait to come back!

Nice atmosphere with an old times charm. Great food and reasonable prices.
