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.

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.

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!

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.

This is a fun older styled gas station converted into a modern pub. It’s a fun place located at the circle of Amherst and a bit of a local hot spot to grab a beer with buddies

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.
