Freaking delicious! Pretty much a must-stop. Best Italian Beef I've had in a long time, and The Lonestar was scrumptious too. Almost everything is homemade, unique, and fresh! read more

You would miss this place if you weren't looking for it. It's hard to get to if you are going northbound on 29. The Waze directions have you going some back roads, which is legit, but you are shaking your head as you do them. Easy for south bounders, just pay attention. At first when we pulled up, I wasn't feeling the vibe and almost passed, but we went in and I instantly new that was a good decision. The owners of this place are super cool and friendly. We got the Italian Sub and Brisket Sandwich and an order of fries. It was 20 bucks and SUPER good. I can't wait to go back and try the breakfast sandwiches. The place is actually a true filling station at one time. The bathrooms are on the side of the building, just like it was back in the day. I wish you guys success in your venture. Good luck and we will return. read more

Portions were nice...burnt ends were real fatty but a nice sauce on them. I had chicken. Staff was great. If you need to use the rest room...plan to go outside. It was an old gas station! Lol. Great time talking with staff and with fellow out of town rep. read more

Great B BQ sandwich pricey but no more than other BBQ places I would get it again Shredded with no fat Yummy sauce and fabulous flavor I will go again read more

Excellent food at a reasonable price. Chicago style Italian beef sandwiches and cheese curds. The owner and the staff native Chicagoans and have the friendliness of an authentic Chicago sub shop. They recognize our phone numbers from Chicago and Cincinnati and always extend a friendly welcome. . The price of the food is quite reasonable considering the huge portions. They have strange hours mostly early morning to mid afternoon. The place is a repurposed gas station that looks like a hole in the wall going south on 29 north of NGIC. But the food is amazing! At lunch they tend ti be crowded and is usually full of military and people from NGIC. read more

Everyone has that restaurant that they only crave when it isn't open. There is one specific on spot that is closed on Sunday. But... I had a great chicken sandwich from The Filling Station. Located just down the road from the house, it is right on the way to work. The chicken had a great bun and the pickles were fabulous. I'm hoping they will expand their hours so I can grab some dinner on the way home or maybe some BBQ on the weekend. But... this review is for the great chicken sandwich I had for lunch. Juicy chicken breast that went down WAY too easy. Can't wait to get back for more of their menu! read more

New breakfast and lunch stop Monday-Friday (7-3). Lunch is served from 11-3. I haven't had the opportunity to stop for breakfast yet, but picked up lunch today. I went with the Italian beef because I love pickled vegetables. The vegetables and bread did not disappoint. The beef was thinly sliced, but I still prefer not to bite into a piece of fat. I would order a veggie sandwich with those spicy pickled veggies on french bread. read more

I tend to be hard to please when eating out. This is by far the best bar b que ever. I had the fried chicken sandwich that had homemade sweet pickles. Wow! I also had burnt ends. Those were equally amazing. Don't Miss This Place read more

Looks a bit scuzzy on the outside, as it IS a converted filling station. However the food is excellent barbecue and the people are charming. Possibly the best brisket that I've ever had. Very good pulled pork as well. Will definitely return! read more

Their Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich was great! Not too spicy but packed with lots of awesome flavor. Smoked Mac and cheese was also very good. Staff was professional and very friendly. The inside was clean and appeared to be recently renovated. Will definitely be back. read more

The food here is great. Got the Brisket Sandwich, very flavorful and cooked well. The Mac and cheese was good too. Looking forward to going back and trying other items on the menu. read more

Stopped by for a steak bagel this morning. It smelled and tasted so good, I ate it before I thought about taking a picture. Way better than any breakfast sandwich from Sheetz or Wawa!! Next time lunch... read more

Drove by this old gas station on the way to Lynchburg - gave it a try on our way back. PHENOMINAL barbeque. The pulled chicken was so good and HUGE for $9 - had coleslaw and excellent BBQ. Baked bean had a lot of meat in them. Wonderful family running this operation - came out and talked with us about the amazing history of the property. read more

I pass this place every morning on the way to work, and watched the "coming soon" sign change to "now open". As I couldn't find a menu online yet, I drove up at lunch to check it out. As a benchmark, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, slaw on, with their Lonestar sauce. I grabbed a bag of chips, and though there are tables to eat in, headed back to the office. I barely made it in the door with menu in hand before two folks stopped me to ask "how is it", as they had driven past as well. Happy to report the sandwich was amazing. Great bread, generous pulled pork, homemade slaw and the Lonestar sauce was spicy and flavorful. I'll definitely be back to sample some other items. Hopefully, once business gets established, they'll extend their hours to evening and weekends for "not just for lunch" ordering! read more

Had the brisket sandwich a couple of weeks ago and while the brisket was good, I did not care for the sauce at all. Stopped by and grabbed a brisket breakfast burrito this morning and holy shit was that thing good. The only thing it needed was green chile, which he is working on. Thank god I go to work before Forward Operating Base (FOB) Martens opens, or I would have to get a part-time job to pay for my breakfast spending. read more

The BBQ pork and brisket were both very good, and the owner was really friendly. Definitely stop in when you're near.

We went just to support a new business. Portion was small. Brisket was extremely fatty. For the price it wasn't worth returning. Too bad as the concept is good. read more

Just great. Sauces awesome. Pork was tender and the baked beans were very tasty. That's all I really wanted to say but Yelp make me keep writing. read more

I drive by this establishment every day on my way to work and saw the recent renovations. This may not be the fanciest looking food stop in town, but the food is incredible. The Lonestar and the Chorizo Burrito are fantastic! I will be taking my friends and family here to support this startup. read more

Had the Italian beef today for lunch, was awesome. Can't wait to try them for breakfast!

Tried this place for the first time and it was amazing!! Got the chicken chipotle grilled cheese, coleslaw and burnt ends, and all of it was good. Everything had great flavor. Will definitely be back! read more

Really good BBQ sandwiches in a cute former gas station. Casual atmosphere. Staff was friendly and efficient. We stopped on a whim passing by, but we'll be back for sure read more
