We enjoyed a dinner after arriving in town on a recent Friday evening. It was quite busy, and there was a decent wait, but we passed the time in the beer garden. It was a mixed crowd, with lots of families and young children. I had the Northwoods Blueberry Açaí mineral water while I waited and it was SO GOOD. Once we were seated and placed our order at the bar, the food came out fairly quickly.We had the hummus appetizer, the Rocket and the Three Rivers. I loved the Rocket - I love any pizza with goat cheese! This was a great spot to kick off our vacation with the fam after a long day of travel! read more

Super cool brewery located in at an old train depot with a huge patio for seating!! They specialize in flatbread pizzas and beers. When we got there, the hostess warned us that the pizzas were taking up to an hour to make. I appreciate that they warned us before we committed to dining there! We didn't mind the wait. There are no waiters, so you order everything at the bar then they bring your food to you with a table number. I ordered the raspberry beer and it was really good. I typically don't like beer, but I love fruit flavors. As an appetizer, we got the red pepper hummus and it was meh--I didn't really like it. It was thick and had the texture of cold refried beans and instead of pita, it was served with tortilla chips that tasted like Tostitos brand. For my flatbread pizza, I chose the Wolverine which was topped with pineapple, pepperoni, jalapeños. I've never had pineapple on pizza so I can't really be a good judge, but it was alright. I liked how thin the crust was. For dessert, we got the mini ice cream bars as recommended by the woman sitting near us. They're Ice Box Brand Ice Cream Bars by a Michigan-based company. They sell two sizes: regular and mini. I chose a mini toffee crunch and it was the perfect size. It was really good. I'd love to just buy these ice cream bars to have at home!! read more

Good good but we had a hiccup with our service and order -- Really nice brewery and allows dogs! We were staying in the area and our rental recommended this place for dinner. Since they allow dogs, we walked down there and had dinner. We only had a few minute wait so they could set up our table and then we were seated. You order at the counter so we got an order of spinach dip and the one of their flatbread pizzas. The pizza was good! Service was a little slow but it was a Saturday night. Unfortunately we never got our spinach dip. A girl came around and said it was sent out and then given to another table. They also said they'd refund it but I've still yet to see a refund on my credit card. I even asked the bartenders about it and they said they'd take care of it but still nothing. So I guess I'm out the money. I'd recommend d the place but their wait staff seems a bit chaotic and frazzled so I guess just be prepared for that. read more

Beers galore and a few ciders as well. The Mango Kolsch was the perfect summer choice, recommended by staff. We shared three pizzas between a family of four- cheese, Wolverine and the Spartan. Lots of flavor, and with them being flatbread pizzas, we made sure to hold onto some room for the s'mores pizza. Worth it! It is pub style ordering so you go to the counter for your beverage and food orders, then staff delivers food to your table. read more

Great pizzas, salads and service, plus the ciders, especially the Two Hands Cider, is SPECTACULAR!

This is my favorite pizza place in town, the Wolverine is my go to w/ a side of their homemade ranch! Also, the best Cesar Salad in town! Love sitting outside, even in the winter, because they enclose the space and have great heaters. The flowers there are so big, just love it! read more

Yeah, I know I'm in the minority, but I don't like beer :/ That means coming here is a bit of an... Disappointment? Adventure? Letdown? The food is always solid but I WISH they had wine :( Folks that do you like beers do tend to like this place so I will give it that, but since I'm not a beer drinker, it really doesn't do a thing for me. Service is friendly and attentive without being overly so. Ambiance is outdoorsy and on theme (trains, etc) 1 star (petty deduction) for not having any wine.. she whined read more

Cool brewery next to an old railway station in Traverse city Michigan. Numerous craft brews to choose from and an extensive pizza menu. The food was tasteless. Salad was basically lettuce and the pizza was cardboard. Craft beers are fine and food is nothing special. Cool place though. read more

I have been here a few years ago and was pleased that the place is still a very nice experience. The beer is very good I had a couple of the lighter Pilsners and for our lunch we had the Silver fern pizza (vegan) which was very tasty especially if you like flat bread pizzas (which I do). The place still has a nice vibe and seems very pleasant for everyone. I like the aesthetics of the place right by the railroad tracks too. Our service was very good from hostess to the bartender ever was friendly and helpful. As you know I always like to give a shout out to vegan friendly places and this is one of them. So if you're plant based and want to enjoy a nice pie stop by The Filling Station! read more

I did not take any photos. We were starving and ate everything so quickly haha. We had a party of 12. They do not do reservations, and they will not seat you if your whole party is not present. BUT, they have a huge beer garden with tons of tables you can sit at and grab a beer and wait. Places for kids to run around and play while you wait. We sat on the bar side which they seat you but you will have to go to the bar and order and then go back to close tab out. Not a big deal it was nice with a huge party. Salads were all really good! All our pizza were yummy! I got the Wolverine and half Three rivers. I LOVED the Wolverine. They use fresh jalapeños, not pickled ones. So good! For a busy night on a Friday we were seating at a reasonable time and food was quick! read more

This place does not disappoint. From the very friendly and helpful employees to the food. They have several vegan/veggie options for flat breads and unique ones with meat. We also had the spinach nacho were tasty. Of course the beer was the best as well. read more

After a very long day, and a travel day at that, our party of two stopped in for dinner. From the start, it took awhile to be noticed and get seated at the hostess station. You order at the bar with the bartender so once we looked over the menu we walked up to place our order. Drinks were provided at the bar so that part was quick. I ordered a dairy free pizza with vegan cheese and he ordered a traditional pizza. Mine arrived with no vegan cheese, which was disappointing. I was famished, tired and looking forward to our meal so instead of waiting in line again at the bar and waiting to have the order re-made, I just went with no cheese. Despite all the vegetables, the pizza had no flavor. The crust particularly was chalky and resembled the taste and texture of a water cracker. In general, staff were few and far between which given it wasn't very busy, I am not sure where they were. However I will say, when we did see someone, they were always friendly and happy to help but that just wasn't often enough. It was a hassle to get an extra napkin, drink refills took forever, so unless you were going back up to the bar yourself, forget about any actual service. The outdoor seating by the train tracks is nice, they have it lit with string lights. There is no official indoor seating but the side panels do close in the event of bad weather so I think as long as it's not severe weather, it would still be safe for dining. It was fine but I won't be rushing to return. read more

We love the filling station! Most recently we came here on a bachelor party trip while cruising around TC. We all split a flight of their beers and some of us also got a glass of the cherry hard seltzer. There wasn't a bad beer in the bunch and my favorite was the Mango Kolsch closely followed by the walla walla IPA There is tons of great seating and the staff is super friendly read more

Brewery #268 We came to the Filling Station one day after spending the morning hiking the trails in Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. My pops and I split a Wolverine-which is a standard pepperoni pizza with jalapenos and pineapple. They describe it as a flatbread on the menu but it looks like a normal circular pizza. The pizza was a nice combination of sweet and heat. We also each got a flight of 4 beers which you come in these cool little train flight boards. My 4 beers were: Iron Junction (stout), Under the Trestle (Mango Kolsch), Walla Walla (American IPA), Watch Hill (Hazy IPA). Everything was solid but I'm always partial to the Hazys. We sat outside under the patio and I never actually saw the inside. There was a hostess stand before the patio, they sat you at a table then you go up to the bar to order food and beer. Food and beer were both solid and I'd go again if I was in the area. read more

Extremely disappointed that you discontinued the ''Huntington IPA" !! It was my go-to for years and I always looked forward to stopping by mainly for that beer. Of the large variety of IPA's I've had all over the country it was one of my top 2 or 3 favorites. Seriously how many other light beers or hazy styles do you need on your menu. There's nothing else you have that came close to the Huntington. read more

The vegan mozzarella is a must! It's better than Mod pizza's!!! I loved being able to customize my own pizza.

The Filling Station was a new experience. Being from Indiana we do not have the "beer to go" so that was a treat! The pizza was good tasting. The pizza size is comparative to a Pizza Hut Medium pizza, make your own starting at $11. They have some amazing cider, we enjoyed it so much that we had to get two Howlers to go! Even more so, we came back for refills to take back to Indiana with us. We went on a Saturday so definitely during the busy time, it was at least an hour wait to be seated and then 30-40 minutes for the food to be prepared and served. Overall a good experience. read more

When we arrived, Amanda greeted us and told us 15-20 min wait. She asked for my name but I gave my husband's because it's easier for people to hear correctly. She affably said she's curious to know mine and when I told her, she remarked it was a lovely name. She then remembered both our names and called my name. We laughed and joked so comfortably that the server assumed we were regulars even though it was our first time - Amanda was just that helpful and that warm and friendly. We were seated much faster than expected at a picnic type table but soon asked if we wanted to move to a high top in the bar area. It was nice to be closer to the bar but the windows were sealed there so it might be nicer on some days to be at the tables. Not a bad seat anywhere, really. I ordered the Munich style pils which I loved and husband enjoyed the lager. You order at the counter but food is brought to the table and we consistently had various servers stop by to check in. It was remarkably good service which we hadn't expected at a such a casual place. The Caesar salad was ample and absolutely delicious. Excellent garlicky flavor, nice crunchy croutons, and crisp refreshing romaine. Pizza came quickly and we both liked our halves. Mine was listed as salty but seemed to just be salty from the olives which is expected so it was a perfect amount of salty for me. Would come here all the time if we lived in town! read more

It's located in a historic railway depot in Traverse City which is kinda cool. They have wood fired flat bread pizzas and they were delicious. I tried the cider and my boyfriend had a flight of beer, both were good. The place has outdoor protected seating with heaters. They have self service water and you order at the bar. Food is delivered via a number system to the table. read more

The service is efficient and the beer flight was wonderful (with seltzer and cider options). The most surprising item was the excellent Caesar salad.-best we have had in town. If you can't decide which flat bread pizza, you can always do half and half. You can't go wrong here. We will be back. read more

Friendly staff where you order at the station and then find a seat. So many types of pizza and our party pretty much made their own x 3 - salads were also variable from Caesar to Cobb like salads. Everyone was happy with their meal although mistakes were made on missing salads and wrong ones being brought which were sorted out and corrected. Cold day do the heaters were on and things quite comfortable. Nice casual place to go especially if a larger party. read more

We were so excited to find this place in TC. It was a great dining experience! Once we were seated, the hostess explained that you can order at the bar area and the food will be brought to your table. Food came out pretty quickly. I had read other reviews how you could order different kinds of pizza on each half. We ordered 1/2 Stoker and 1/2 Spartan. Delicious! We also got an order of the hummus for an appetizer. The beer was good! Pizza was good! Atmosphere was relaxing and outdoors (covered). Despite ordering at the bar, people came around and asked if you needed refills or anything else. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone coming to TC. read more

The Filling Station is one popular spot, and I can see why! My husband and I tried to stop by here on a Sunday night and were shut out by the hour-long wait. We opted to come back the next day (Monday night) and were immediately seated for an early dinner. This is a casual spot with all outdoor seating, which was perfect for the beautiful summertime weather we were enjoying that day. You order everything at the bar - food, drinks - and they bring it to you once it's ready. I love that they offer flights, since they have sooo many beers, ciders, etc on tap! I got a flight of 4 drinks and we ordered the Spinach artichoke dip to split. Delicious! We also ordered a pizza - and since we were stuck on 2 different types, we just ordered half and half, which was perfect. The pizza is thin, like a flatbread, but so good with fresh ingredients! I would definitely come back if I find myself in the Traverse City area again! read more

Might be the best pizza I've had in TC so far. And I love that you can order a half n half to try out more flavors. That's not always the case with speciality flavor pizzas like this. We got half Wolverine, half Burlington Northern. Both were excellent and went well together as well. We also got a Station Salad which was fresh & crisp (and plenty to share). Also sampled the strawberry beer which was quite pleasant and perfect for the hot day we were having. This place is in an old train station, so lots of patio seating along the tracks and a good view of Boardman Lake. Order at the bar. Service is friendly and quick. Restrooms are clean and easy to find. Parking is free and plentiful. I'd come back here anytime. read more

When our table as ready, the same hostess gave us detailed instructions on where to place our order and suggestions on what to get. We opted for the Eurail salad and a pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni. Both were incredible. Their sour beer is perfect! Great, friendly service and exceptional food! read more
