Reviews for The Filling Station Bham in Birmingham, AL
Great, casual, relaxed atmosphere with a fun, eclectic ambiance and nice, laid back service. The portion sizes are very... generous. The food is good- the baked feta appetizer is a must! Perfect place to pop-into and grab a pizza, or salad- great spotfor a quick lunch or relaxed dinner. Definitely check it out! Read more
This is my go to spot for happy hour. They have great deals. I also love that it's pet friendly (free apps on Thursdays with... your dog) on Wednesdays they have half off bottles of wine. I really Like their red wine. Sundays they have brunch. $8 mimosapitcher. The beef nachos and toasted raviolis. Read more
Tasty pizza and soup, delicious drinks,a fun atmosphere, and a nice location. The Fill and House Special pizzas are great and... each pizza can feed 2-3. The tomato soup is also nicely done. I did have to wait quite a while to get my beer though mycompanions got theirs right away. Overall a great spot! Read more
This is an old Shell station from the 70s, which automatically makes it pretty cool. But, it's not overdone - they don't beat... you over the head with the whole gas station thing. (The restrooms are inside. Unlike the original gas stations.) Anyway, that'sthe building. There's a nice, big, all-season outdoor dining area with fans. Inside there are more tables and a prettywell-stocked bar. Nice selection of beers. Food was delicious. We had the Buffalo cauliflower bites as an appetizer. A generousorder. My son and his girlfriend had burgers, cooked to order. Both said they were good. My wife had a Greek salad with salmon.Huge. I ate a good bit of it and it was very tasty and fresh. I made the mistake of ordering a whole Hawaiian BBQ pizza whichwas much more than I could eat by myself. It was a very good pizza with plenty of toppings and a light, thin crust. There was anoption to order a slice, which our server said would be comparable to two slices of a whole pizza; I should have gone with that.I took the rest home and it reheated pretty well. Never quite as good as fresh out of the pizza oven but still verygood. Service was prompt and friendly. Can't recall our server's name but she was very pleasant and attentive. All in all, itwas an enjoyable experience and we will definitely go back next time we're in town. Not cheap but for the amount of food we gotI'd say the prices are very reasonable. Read more
Love this place. I eat here when I am in the area and alway get the eggplant alfredo pizza. It is delicious and unique. They... have good selection of craft beer, outdoor seating, and live music. Read more
Im from Philly. So Strombolis are a part of the food culture there. What I got, in my opinion, isn't a real stromboli that... warrants paying $16.50. a true stromboli is a pizza, with the stuffing put in and folded in half. There was little inside ofmine barely, a handful of toppings, 3 or 4 slices of pepperoni. Given the size, I guess that's all that can fit. It tasted ok,only are 1/3, needed seasonings. The marinara definitely needed some salt. It was cheesy I will give you that, but a realstromboli, the emphasis isn't the cheese. I was very disappointed. My husband says maybe we'll just get pizza when we go again.I will order chicken tenders. Read more
This was my first time at this restaurant. Since it was a fairly good temperature outdoors, we ate outside. This is the (half)... Muffuletta salad. It was (as you can imagine) salty because of the olives (dressing), but very light and tasty. We also ordereda 'FULL' loaf of cheesy bread - '4' slices of Italian bread which tasted like melted processed American cheese on top. That wasnot very good. Read more
Not really sure how we didn't know about this place. It was great! Food was excellent, service was good, prices were reasonable.... Will definitely be returning to try more of the menu! Read more
