Although the place doesnt look very good from the outside nor did the food presentation look very good however, the food was excellent best french fries Ive had in a long time and the fish taco was so tasty. Also enjoyed the views from the deck, good beer selection, service was very quick, and bathroom was clean.
Don’t let the outside scare you…we loved this place! Once you see the open air marsh side deck with an amazing view you’ll be glad you came in. Service great, food was delicious…we had the shrimp and redfish tacos which we loved. Met the owner…what an interesting guy. Will definitely be back when visiting from north Georgia.
Our go to for the absolute best shrimp and red fish tacos! Fresh made to order fried in the most flavorful light batter. My mouth is watering just thinking of them. Did I mention the creamy garlic sauce?! Delicious 😋Tuesday’s are $2 taco nights so you will find us there! (Yep, every Tuesday) The crab cake taco was pretty yummy also. Don’t forget to get the coleslaw and fries on the side!PS I heard their burgers and wontons are great also but I haven’t been able to pass on the fried shrimp 🤷♀️
A Beaufort iconic place to visit with a wonderful view. Dont like lots of people, go midday when it is slow. Nice choice of drinks and an okay small menu. Dinner specials are a steal.
This hidden gem is an incredible find!!! First of all, we fell in love with Beaufort and when we asked the locals where to go for a drink, all of them said Filling Station. We love dive bars and this didn’t disappoint. The VIEWS are amazing! (See picture I took).We walked in yo the unassuming door and found a busy, clean bar with attentive bartenders, great pub food menu and a deck to die for! Live music was going on and we stayed for way longer than we planned! Haha.Met the owner and he was welcoming, gracious and attentive at all times.We will be back!!! And yes, we will tell all our friends about this killer joint! Well done Filling Station!
I had a last minute going away get together for a coworker and was not disappointed at all!! It wasnt a HUGE party, just 7 of us, but Austin was so attentive and helpful! I personally got the shrimp po boy, which was amazing, and others got burgers and loved them too! And the view from the back deck was absolutely beautiful. I will be back for sure!!
This is a place where you can’t judge a book by its cover. The view on the back deck is the best in Beaufort ! They have the best bartenders & friendliest staff. We love this local “5star dive bar” and will keep coming back.
Went to lunch with friends looks like a dirty dive with two outhouses in the front you go in bar is kind of dark and gloomy inside then you go outback to a patio covered with a beautiful view of the marsh and it’s very peaceful and nice. The food is ok the French fries are nothing special look like skinny fries the hamburger was huge so big they slid off the bread . You have to go to the window outside to order and pick up your food. I read the wonderful reviews and thought we would try it we probably won’t return. I did not see anyone come out and clean the tables as people left or clean them before new customers sit down.
Great experience and have great atmosphere. The bloody Marys are one of the best I have ever had. The owner came to are table and asked how everything was. Cant wait to go back and have a meal here.
Great atmosphere. Didnt get the chance to drink or eat but I definitely plan on coming back! Its packed every weekend so they must be doing something right!
Awesome view of salt Marsh and intercoastal. Food is top shelf and best kept secret in the Beaufort area
Just a cool joint. If I lived there it would be our go to bar. Love the live music!!
Dive bar, filled with smoke. Seafood may have been good but Im sure that was a frozen burger that was expensive that I didnt eat. View was the best thing.
Front looks forsaken but they have a beautiful rear deck and a guy was setting up for a live performance later in the day. I think they only had one cook in the kitchen so that probably explains why we waited for 50 minutes before our food came out. Prices were a bit high but mixed drinks and food were great!
Never stepped foot out of the car. The front of the building was pretty scary. Not a place I would want to go by myself. Not a warm and fuzzy feeling about the entrance.Definitely not a problem place I would want to celebrate with a party of 13 friends and family.
It was a hopping place. Live music on the patio which overlooked the marina. It was $5 burger night. The burgers were good and the beer was cold. Service was good and friendly.
A truly authentic Roadhouse featuring live music and excellent down-home food offerings.Set on a scenic body of water, great atmosphere, neat and well run, always a friendly crowd with a nice mix of people from all walks of life.The Fillin Station is a great place to see live music, very intimate but plenty of room to mix and mingle or dance. A variety of fine local talent on stage. A great place to perform too!An ideal getaway. Highly recommended!
It certainly looks live a dive, however, the food was delish. The fresh oysters and shrimp were incredible. Their bread with my hot dog was yummy also. Add in the fabulous view and humble and attentive staff and you know I’ll be back.
Nice local spot. Dockside was an hour wait so we went here. Looks like the same view here and no wait. Food and drinks were good.
The 1st time my husband visited alone, because I was in the hospital and he was hoping for a quick bite to eat. I cannot express how kind and welcoming they were to him when they noticed the hospital band on his wrist. Even though they were closed for cleaning, they refused to let him leave, they fed him and made sure he was okay. A week later, we returned together and they treated us like old friends. The food was fantastic, the kindness and friendships made are the lifetime kind and we saw the same wonderful treatment with everyone that was there. If you havent stopped in, youre missing out on something special. Highly, highly recommended! Jerry and Kathy~
Five star dive bar- best view in Beaufort! We loved the people, staff, drinks and view! We will be back!
We visited the filling station last week and the food was fantastic. Only complaint would be the long wait (approx 45 minutes) to get our food, as well as the over abundance of mosquitos while we were eating. Luckily, the food was so good it made up for the somewhat subpar restaurant experience.
Highly recommend this place, not just for the food, but the view as well.
Finally was able to get in. Great views, service was good and drinks cold. But just to hot to sit outside and enjoy the view.
A five star dive bar, as one of my friends calls it. Perfect description. Great spot to hang out at, with good food, good drink, and fun and friendly staff!
Its the best dive bar and always have amazing bands play. View is great. I think the price of the drinks are pricey tho; drinks cost more here than the other local bars
Fun Local Flavor - Good Food Good Booze Great Prices. Relax & Enjoy
Casual atmosphere and good food and fair prices. The back deck overlooking Factory Creek was quite pleasant. Would recommend.
My favorite bar in Beaufort, with friendly staff ready to recommend you great beers out of their wide selection.
We went down to the river and got a drink and low country boil. Perfect. The shrimp was so good.
This fun, low country gem is a very laid back place to gather with some of the best low country views from the patio. Its a very popular place with not enough seating. Hopefully the new owners figure out how to fit more tables and chairs, cause everyone wants to hang out at the fillin station for burgers and drinks!!
Zero pride of ownership. Wonderful view. What a shame.
Came here after bought by new owners, only one person behind the bar. Menu has change (understand able). No real service, no salt or pepper on the outside tables and the bartender is so busy, can’t get anything quickly. Food is good but unseasoned. Like it more more before. Still a local place, deck is great.
Great fish taco. Fried bar food mostly but tasty. Picnic style delivery. View and seating options are the best!
The food was fine and the atmosphere is nice. The outside covered area overlooks the water. I have given two stars because one of our party did not receive her order. We asked at about the 30 minute mark and were told it was being made, at the hour mark asked again and found out the order never made it to the kitchen. A refund was given, but no dinner. Found it to be unacceptable. Also, they had a band the night we were there and after we had ordered a couple of rounds and dinner they charged us a cover when the band started.
Dont judge a book by its cover. We almost left after pulling in the parking lot but a young couple told us the food was awesome. Im so glad we stayed. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was so relaxing and enjoyable. The one man band was great and the music wasnt overly loud so we could still enjoy conversation with our friends. The staff was super friendly.
Absolutely amazing delicious food! Definitely glad we stopped also awesome atmosphere great people. Just all around great. Definitely recommend!
Awesome food great views. Staff prepared food at order and handled the flood of guests very well.Planning a trip there for 20 or more in June.
Cool little local spot with great food and drinks. Live music and waterfront was a plus too!
The food was great! Friendly southern atmosphere. They were really nice and made my visit to Lady’s Island awesome.
The live music makes this place worth a visit all by itself. If theres a band--you can bet that there will be plenty of inebriated people having a good time. A great spot for people watching.The beers were great--self service. The staff--if you see them at all--err on the side of belligerence, but its hard to hold it against them given the clientele.Great views of the water--lots of fun on a Saturday night.
Someone recommended this place and we thought wed give it a try. Dont judge the outside, theres a great vibe, an awesome patio. The drinks were on point and we had the fried oysters which were fresh and really good. Give it a try!
Great local restaurant excellent service and great food
Great bar on the water with a deck overlooking the water. Good food and good, friendly service. Highly recommend for lunch too.
Great dive bar good live music and location.
Good food, great view for lunch. Heard nights are great
We had shrimp tacos and shrimp po boys! Yummy! Lovely deck views, fresh sea breeze, friendly staff, all around wonderful lunch! We’ll be back next time we come to Beaufort!
Love this place! Locals vibe and delicious po-boy! If youre in the area its a must!
The food was ok, drinks were good, the one man band I could have lived without seeing, beautiful views, nice staff
We were outside on the back porch. It was wonderful. Friendly manager.
4 of us ate at the Filling Station last week after passing it by for many years. We had hamburgers cooked to order and they were fantastic. Wings were great too. The owner and wait staff were really pleasent. We have already went back. The view is great. Outside porch
Wowski!!! My favorite hangout/dive bar my last 3 days of Vakay!! Southern Rock on Friday, midday on Saturday, brunch on Sunday!! See y’all soon ❤️
Exactly what I needed .Here is a great testimonial for these folks .I am new to the area my wife was in Beaufort memorial.I left the hospital to get a bite and get back .They were closed yet had the doors open cleaning the place up getting ready for a busy season . The owner and staff seen the band on my wrist from the hospital and asked if my wife was ok .Insisted I stayed fed me and gave me a beer . Opened there business and hearts to a person that needed it .Thanks so much for a great meal and a cold beer .Once my wife heels up you have a customer for life . Thanks so much again
Great food, great staff and great drinks. Beautiful view of the water.
Went for Burger, but it was New Years Day so they were only serving one meal to everyone. Pork, Black Eyed Peas, Collard Greens, and Choice of regular or jalapeno cornbread. It was a good meal. Music outside was loud. Had to park down to the street because they dont have much parking.
This place was a ton of fun. Good live music, not too loud and very reasonable drink prices. Roughly $5 per well drink or thereabouts. We didnt try the food but it looked rather appealing. The breeze was killer coming off the water. Jesus himself would have enjoyed some wine and fish here if he was alive and happened to live in Beaufort.
Great atmosphere, very clean and cozy. Beautiful views
Filin station was great! Best fried oysters Ive ever had and the view from the deck was glorious, Ill be heading there alot!
Great Spot and Music Daliy on the weekend from what we see ! Our New Spot!!!
Awesome service awesome atmosphere awesome music just awesome it is a five star dive bar
Great spot, love the meals throughout the week.
Super nice bar staff, loved it
I am unable to give this restaurant a rating because it was not what I expected. Maybe a minus one star. If youre looking for a nice view and a place to just go drinking then its okay. But I would not order the food again. I can usually describe the food when Im giving a rating but this time I am unable to because I would have rather go to McDonalds or eat at a 7-eleven. Sorry guys, you need to really step it up a notch when it comes to fast food. Best wishes...
Best kept secrete in Beaufort! We love The Filling Station. Food is simple but great,staff is awesome. The bands that come play are the best. One of a kind place.
It is what it is. Dive bar with water view. Decent prices drinks with amazing food by Chef Alex. Stop in and find out for self
Great place for a drink! Cold tonight so we bailed on the deck, had a great time inside.
Food pretty good, great view of marsh and water, but dirty, and staff seemed hung over and not the least bit helpful
Great PlaceVery Good Burgers and FriesStaff was Super and FriendlyDefinitely will be back
Go here allot for drinks and will keep going back. If your a tourist this isnt the place for you.
Over priced for food portions. Food good .. Relaxed atmosphere.
Decided to try based on the great reviews. Was a little confused at first. Is it a sit down place with waiter or waitress or do you sit anywhere? We went on a fri night and the place was very busy. Had to maneuver around the pool table as game was going on. Made it outside and its really neat back there. Bar was to busy so outside was nice. There was a man grilling steaks and had sides prepared. Although we didnt reserve steak dinner ahead of time he said he had extra so we were in luck.Dinner was amazing! Great little husband and wife gig and very different. I highly recommend trying. Now we know the routine so next time will be even better!
Love the atmosphere here dont judge a book by its cover
No parking an poor & rude service when you wait an hour for a hamburger and get told this is a bar we dont serve tea well my first time an last time there for sure
A chill place with a great marsh view, good food and live music.
Great bar! People are real.
I couldnt see why the food got such rave reviews when it was just ok. It was the run of the mill bar/pub food imo. The service was terrible and the bartender was rude.
Seems like a great hole (in my opinion, not for fluffy folk) in the wall bar. Only had a drink and enjoyed the scenery!
We went for Burger Night. Great burgers! Half pound black angus steak burgers loaded with toppings and a side of fries for $5. Delicious!
This place is fun. Come hungry and thirsty, my friends. Great food, lovely view from the deck. Its a lively spot to visit. We will stop in again next time were in the area. Memorable for sure.
Awesome hamburger, reasonable price.,attractive waitress
More of a local place. Not for tourists, there are better tourists places at same pricing.
Awesome place to wet your whistle!!!
I love this app. I give rides/ transportation to those need rid s to and from work at a favorable rates. So Google maps has me there instead of going circles. I love my app and my driving for others. Much love shared everyday ... SMILES !!
The best spot....Greats 5 buck burgers...music was terrific. .will come again...Tom, Cathy, Gigi...told us ...they were spot on...6 stars ...
Building a home in Beaufort, and I see the parking lot of this place overflow at night time. From the front, most wouldn’t enter, or even consider it. But..............it’s the best local flavor you will find. Wednesday night, and Friday night are not to be missed. The karaoke from locals will have you laughing like you never laughed before. The food, and drinks are perfect! I’ve never spent any of my time in life in a bar, but I’m making an exception here. This place is great! Absolutely Love it!
Great views, food, drinks and people.Will be back again for sure.
Great food and service
Great views. An upscale dive bar. Live music.
