Customer Reviews

We had lunch at the Fillin' Station after getting our car serviced at Neal Tire in town (shout out to Scott!) and had a wonderful experience. I haven't been here since I was a kid and it took me right back! Not only was it nostalgic but just as good if not better than I remember. By far the best fries and horseshoe around. And don't skip out on the pie! It was well worth saving room for. To top it off, I don't know the last time I had that good of a meal for under $30 for two people. Definitely worth the drive to Toledo, we will be back!

Quaint little place by the courthouse. I had heard legends of the Firey Peanut Butter Burger. It lived up to the hype. Patty tastes hand-made and is well seasoned. The combination of bacon, BBQ sauce, jalapenos and peanut butter is inspired. At just under $6 it is also a good value for the money. Might be even better with a slice of pepper jack cheese. I will do that next time. The pie is amazing. If you come here you have to get a slice. You'll thank me. Fries were good, but after the burger and pie I was pretty stuffed so I can't honestly assess them. Staff is very friendly and service is fast. You need to check this place out.
