I debated 4 stars or 5. I'm doin 5. This place is special, I can tell. It's a local spot. But still inviting enough for a traveler. And I like that. Very cool dive feel when you walk in, with the bar and pool table, money hanging from the walls. But as you walk to the back it opens up to the water with a beautiful backdrop of the lagoon. Very very cool. With the outside bar and live music, it's pretty neat. I really enjoyed myself here. Service was prompt, and friendly. I was greeted from the moment I walked in. I like that. We ordered some food (we were starving) and I want to give the cooks a compliment on the chicken caesar wrap, it was surprisingly very well made. I wasn't expecting much but great job! I hope to come back and enjoy another view on that back patio. Thanks for the memories. Cheers! read more

I was told it would be a great experience. Fabulous view, yes. Campfire Taylor music good. Food horrible. I got the bacon, egg, cheese muffin for Sunday brunch. It was absolutely horrible. McD's egg McMuffin is far better. Then I got the price at check out and it was $14!! I thought we only could do brunch menu. I will give their regular menu a try. I am not impressed. read more

Local hang out - it's can get packed. We order at a window outside - they have $10 specials throughout the week. We went of shrimp night- $10 we got shrimp and fries and a beer / that is awesome! Shrimp was good - liked the batter It's a divey style bar-- my favorite places- we sat outside - alot seating - great view of water - read more

Typical dive bar (questionable cleanliness) with typical dive bar menu. It immediately became apparent staff was overly willing to push alcoholic drinks onto already intoxicated local patrons. Anyone else was virtually ignored. read more

Classic dive bar - no frills, just locals swilling beer, playing pool and hanging out by the marina. What more could you want? read more

This place is a hidden gem! The view is amazing. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was great, I got a shrimp basket. Seating area was nice and spacious. I went on a Friday night with friends. Main lot is small but there is parking around the corner as well like an overflow lot. Pricing is very reasonable. Despite going on a very hot day, it was comfortable with the sea breeze and fans. Definitely need bug spray for the mosquitos but they actually had some there for customers. Awesome place, would definitely visit again. read more

It is like a small dive bar cover right on the waterfront. We had the shrimp there and it was excellent. We ate there twice during our trip if that tells you anything. The staff was less professional and quick. Would definitely recommend. read more

We waited 45 minutes for our burgers. The staff was very apologetic and offered to give us a drink on the house which was nice. The french fries were delicious but the burgers over cooked and dry. Not a great experience. read more

Been here 2 times first time burgers were burnt to the core and couldn't even bite them, this time my chicken and waffles were ice cold. I heard this place was really good but recently been bought out by different management, could be the reason. read more

Fillin' station has some of the best views in Beaufort. We love the no-frills, easy-going atmosphere. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating but we will never pass up an opportunity to sit outside with the live music and amazing views. We love going on Wednesday for the five dollar burger and fry deal. The parking lot is fairly small so we actually park in a little lot right down the road. It is a short walk. You can enter through the front door or a walk-in area to the left of the building that curves around the back. There is a walk up window where you can place your order, and they will give you a fob that vibrates when your food is ready. There are mixed drinks, local beer, Craft, beer, cider's, and more. I have heard that the Sunday brunch is amazing. We will need to try it out! read more

We think they keep the two port a potty's in the front to keep tourists away. You might second guess coming here based on the outside but it's a hidden gem. They have an amazing outdoor area overlooking the water. The only food they have is fried but the fried shrimp and fish basket was pretty good and a decent price. It's worth coming here for a drink or lunch for the view alone. read more

This is all I'd ever need... waterview, good selection of drinks, good & affordable food, music, and motivated happy staff. One of the best shrimp baskets I've had,,, for less than $10. I wish the new owners the best! read more

great location on the water. pretty standard fried basket menu, adequate but nothing special. rustic is too mild a description. mainly a hangout for locals having drinks. read more

This is your basic local dive bar. The inside smells awful. We sat outside by the marsh. Better bring your bug spray. We didn't drink but got a sandwich which was fair and took too long to get. Keep in mind this is a dive bar and they advertise it as one so we knew what we were in for. read more

The blonde bartender with the bun was incredibly rude. Zero greeting, zero effort, and an attitude like serving customers was an inconvenience. Definitely not the vibe you expect when you're just trying to enjoy a drink. Disappointing experience. First & last time here. read more

Great location on the creek. Redfish sandwich on brioche bun, and crispy fries were super!

Don't let the front door fool you!!! The back door is the best! The food was not bad. Typical bar food but it's all about the ambiance.

Good dive bar with great food. It's a good place to just hang out and enjoy the atmosphere.

Dive bars are sanctuaries. People are just happy being there. The beer is cold and relatively cheap. Mix in a multimillion-view and a menu a cardiologist would love and you're in Heaven. Outstanding oyster/shrimp basket. Fish was fresh and tasty. Fries need to be replaced: crinkle or steak. But a wonderful experience and I already want to go back. It blends some of the best things about waterfront spots in Central Florida. read more

We stoped in for a cocktail after we ate close by! This is a local dive bar, that is perfect for my taste! The view is excellent and the drinks were spot on! Don't expect anything fancy! Very comfortable and welcoming! read more

This is a great local dive bar kind of spot. It's fairly small inside, but has a large back patio right on the river. Very small selection of food, and not great wine. But it's a cool place to hang out for a bit. They have love music in the evening, but I went during the day when it wasn't too crazy busy. read more

It wasn't that terrible.... I love a good dive bar. If you are looking for a dumpy place on the water with average service, only fried food (it was a Monday) and bottled beer, this is your place. Fried fish was probably the better thing we ordered compared to the fried shrimp, fries and Cole slaw. No malt vinegar, no cocktail sauce.... The bar tender was quick to get us beers when we went back up to the window for refills. It was a little dirty. I was expecting a cooler place based on yelp reviews but we had a good time. read more

Not sure what all the fuss is about? There's one bartender with a sour attitude, which can kill any experience (bartender here). Food is standard for a dive bar, and the drinks were cold. As for the place itself, the views are killer, but dirty tables offset that. Owner is also very weird about water bottles?? Dude, get a life lol. Like I said, typical dive bar. read more

Just a cool bar. Stopped for a drink and some chicken wings. Val the bartender was great. The best part is the view when you walk thru the bar. Gorgeous views. Saw the dolphins swimming by. Very friendly. Would definitely recommend. read more

If Hemingway were still bellying up to a bar he'd no doubt spend a considerable amount of time at The Filling Station. Not every seaside town has a bar never mind a good bar, yet lucky we be to have the best bar in Beaufort county. You can surely say it's amongst the finest views in the area coupled with it's elegant simplicity making it a proper establishment a connoisseur can truly appreciate. Above all else the staff are what sets this places hook in you and reels you in, Austin & Emily accept the role they're given and excel, attitude is everything and this place is as sassy as they come, cheers y'all. read more

Great spot to watch the sun set. Unassuming and casual. Their music nights are highly enjoyable. Food is nothing fancy but the view is worth every cent! read more

Told about this place by one of the local Thrift stores! Really fresh well prepared food and beautiful view in a dive! Didn't bother me or my husband as we happily sampled the freshest fish and shrimp! The cook is very proud of his fare. We overheard him yakking it up with one of the tables after the lunch rush was over. Wish we lived closer so I could see it at night! Put aside your doubts and try it... read more

Funky fun. A great deck with a water view. Busy local hangout with a large loyal local following. Pub food reasonably priced with specials and a locally popular Sunday brunch. Live music several times per week. The bar tenders are fun, efficient and hard-working. The pour is good in liquor drinks. A pool table, games, and an active friendly crowd makes the Filling Station a great dive bar. read more

Looking for a fun, dive bar with decent food? This is it. We had a basket of fried shrimp and burgers-all hit the mark. Fun staff that strives to make sure that your visit is a positive one. Parking can be a challenge after 5pm-but worth the walk if you park nearby. A must stop if you're visiting Beaufort. read more

Worth the stop! The outside is not the most appealing but once you step out back with the great view, you'll understand. The crab cakes/balls are worth the stop alone. The crab balls are just smaller versions of the crab cakes. We ordered the basket with redfish, shrimp, and crab cake as well as shrimp tacos. It comes with fries and slaw. The sauce that comes with the crab cakes and on the shrimp tacos is delicious and garlicky. read more
