    Menu: Food items and prices
    Eric G.

    It was my first time visiting Central Station, and to make it even better, it was on a rainy Saturday. My wife and I were driving through Ventura County during a storm and decided to stop for lunch. On our way home, we came across Central Station--a Sports Bar and Grill--and honestly, what more could you ask for on a rainy day? The place opens at 11 a.m., and when we arrived, we were welcomed into a restaurant with outdoor seating, a decent-sized dining area, and a full bar. There were several TVs throughout, making it a great spot to watch sports while enjoying food and drinks. Once seated, our host Monique provided exceptional service. She got us seated right away, took our drink order promptly, and gave us plenty of time to review their massive menu--which, by the way, made it very hard to choose. From breakfast burritos and salads to tri-tip sandwiches, wings, pizza, sampler platters, grilled chicken, and more, everything sounded delicious. Before ordering food, we checked out the drink options. They offer plenty of domestic and imported beers, both bottled and on draft. I'm a simple guy, so I went with my favorite Miller Lite, which was ice-cold and refreshing. My wife ordered a Bloody Mary and said it was very good--so good I wish I had taken a photo of it. We decided on the sampler platter since it had a variety of finger foods we love: buffalo wings, chicken strips, potato skins, BBQ pork ribs, and flautas. While waiting, I couldn't resist adding a side of my favorite--steak fries. When the food arrived, I was amazed at how much we received for such a reasonable price. Everything on the platter was hot, flavorful, and satisfying. The wings were spicy, the pork tips were sweet and tender, and overall the platter was excellent. The only small downside was that the chicken strips weren't as hot as the rest and were slightly dry, but dipping them in buffalo sauce made up for it. The steak fries were massive--I couldn't even finish them. They were fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned (with a little help from me). The buffalo sauce paired amazingly with the fries. Overall, this was a great experience trying a new lunch spot in Ventura County. Affordable prices, great-tasting food and drinks, friendly service, and a beautiful city to enjoy while passing through Highway 126. I highly recommend Central Station to anyone looking for good food, drinks, or a relaxed place to unwind.

    To all the employees who work here, thank you for the best customer service! The tacos are the best I have ever tasted and the sampler plate, everything was so good! A big shout out to Monique and John for great service and I'm going to be coming back soon. Everyday is a special so put this place on your calendar and try them out! Did I mention the chicken strips, wings , potato skins, pork ribs, and the mango margaritas are all delicious Perfect lighting and great view of Central especially if you sit outside.

    Western Tri Tip Salad

    Went to Central Station in Fillmore and was genuinely impressed. It was very busy, but the experience never felt rushed. The tri-tip salad absolutely blew me away, I was not prepared for how good it was. My server, Ari, suggested it and she was spot on. Her customer service was excellent, attentive, friendly, and on top of everything despite how busy it was. I also had the fish taco, which was great. Great food, excellent service, and I'm definitely looking forward to coming back.

    Grilled chicken sandwich on sourdough with steak fires

    We have been here twice and both times really liked the food. We have tried the forts, rib tips and the grilled chicken sandwich. They were all delicious and the steak fries are awesome. Laura gives great service and it is a friendly atmosphere.

    I ordered a chicken philly and kept biting into paper in my sandwich...very disappointed

    Service went above and beyond. Audi and Becka were super freindly, fast, and a pleasure to hang out with.The place is small and clean and plenty of tvs to watch sports. Lilly makes the best hot sauce ever!!!! We even put it on a burger. I had the Carne asade wet burrito the green sauce was delicious

    Had the best birthday celebration at Best Ball!…read more Everyone completely surprised me, and somehow managed to pull off a birthday party that started with a 5K complete with race bibs and a medal at the end! As a runner, that was such a fun and personal touch. From the run to the party, everything was perfect. Thanks to my sister and man for celebrating me like this! Afterward, we headed to Best Ball where we ate, drank, laughed, and spent a couple of hours having a great time. The food was really good, the drinks were flowing, and the atmosphere was fun without feeling overcrowded. There's a full bar and a large restaurant area with plenty of seating, so it was easy for everyone to hang out together. The service here is amazing they took care of us and we had a DJ and a photo booth outside to make it more festive! The babe even brought the cake over the day before and they were so great at keeping it. Whether you're there to golf, celebrate, or just spend time with friends, this place is a great spot. My favorite people, lots of laughs, good food, and a surprise birthday I'll never forget. What more could I ask for? We run here in the dark, daytime and evenings and pass this restaurant all the time we will be coming here more often. Lots of parking out in the front. Highly recommend for birthdays or any excuse to get a group together!

But the inside is deceptively large with lots and lots of seating near the mini mini large screen TVs. There is a bar that serves hard liquor and several outside patios. The food is reasonably priced. Most entrées are under $15. And best of all they are dog friendly. You can actually bring your pooch inside the restaurant where they will offer you a bowl of water for your dog. The manager opened the door for me because I was hesitant to bring him in. I just wanted a bottle of water. But I was made aware that they are very dog friendly and dogs are happily welcome down the inside. They offer breakfast starting at 7:30 AM, which is perfect after a Walker run around the golf course. But they also have our food which is chicken nuggets, french fries, hamburgers, etc.. Someone in the kitchen is a little heavy-handed with the salt. So tell them to take it easy if you are salt sensitive like I am. The toast came with my breakfast and it was burnt. So I sent the salty eggs back with the toast and ask them to redo it. They redid the whole meal for me and it came back perfectly. I will be coming back here with some friends. This is gonna be my new hangout for the summer.

If you want typical sports bar food - flavorful, hearty, greasy, then that's what you get here! I got a blackened chicken sandwich and it was just as I expected. Maybe I'd ask for lettuce also next time but it was good! My kids got wings and mozzarella sticks which were also good. The mozzarella sticks were a bit overdone, some the cheese was totally melted out, but overall decent. My husband loved his Philly. We also got pretzels with cheese, super buttery, but still tasted good. Also the wedge fries were like sooooo buttery. And I love butter but dang a bit much. Service was great everyone was so nice! Also had a yummy espresso martini. I def want to go back for breakfast and maybe earlier in the day in general bc I'd love to give this place a higher rating.

This is a large,…read morenicely-maintained pool room with assorted other games available (darts and such), a great digital jukebox system, and plenty of TV's playing sports. The decor is "industrial," but it's clean and airy, so there's no sense of being in a "dive" -- in fact, this is a family-friendly place, and I saw some youngish couples playing pool on what seemed to be afternoon dates. The physical bar is relatively small, with only about 8-12 seats, but that's because they're keeping as much space open as possible for game play. The staff was friendly and chatty, and seemed quite intent on making sure everyone had everything they needed. The menu is wider and more interesting than one would expect in a pool hall environment, with creative pizzas, burgers, sandwiches and salads promising a more unique and memorable meal than the average hangout. I opted to try the Pastrami Pizza: a traditional tomato and mozzarella pie topped with what they call "mustard fried pastrami," onions, chopped pickles, and a drizzle of yellow mustard. It's a good-sized pizza, larger than a true individual pie, and enough for 2 people to share. The pastrami was savory without being too salty, while the pickles, onions and mustard all added nice pops of flavor without feeling like a gimmick. My one disappointment was that the pizza was not prepared well-done as requested, making the crust more doughy than crisp. Also, the temperature in the venue was darn near frigid, so my pizza got cold very quickly, which reduced my ability to enjoy it as much as I would have if the pie had been piping hot. Other food being enjoyed in close proximity to me looked and smelled very good (wings and burgers), and like I said, the people were all top notch hosts. So, while the final pizza prep could use some improvement, I think these folks are doing a very good job of making bar food that's more interesting and memorable than you'll find anywhere else in the area. Definitely stop in and give them a whirl.
