The burgers are top notch, as well as the staff. Friendly, helpful, and take care of you from start to finish. Definitely recommend this to everyone, and will definitely be going back myself.

Delicious food and great service, located in an old Esso filling station. They still offer self service Exxon gasoline too, so if your car or stomach is running on empty, be sure to stop by The Filling Station.

The perfect mix between gas station, beer station, and restaurant. I never knew I needed this! Everyone looks at you when you come in but go ahead and get situated and get a cold drink and get that food ordered. The seating is tight like pre-covid. You can play your own kind of music. There is a bar, hightop, and low top table options. Vast beer selection. Good vibes. Our gluten free friend had no problem with selecting food.

Cheesy western’s Texas toast, yellow relish, bacon, cheese, and burger was oh so good. But enough for two. We enjoyed the service and casual atmosphere inside a long-standing gas station.

Needed to pump gas and grab a quick bite, to my surprise, there was a restaurant inside of this little gas station, ordered a couple of burgers and chicken tenders, food was great, took a bit but worth the wait. Have a huge selection of beers as well.

Esso station converted to a pub & grub spot. Externally, not much to look at. Once inside, you’re greeted by a bar with a great selection of beers on tap, and a menu with just enough choices. I had the pulled pork with Carolina style bbq sauce, cole slaw (finely chopped & not sweet) & fries with Cajun seasoning. The meat was perfect, having been flipped on the grill for a nice crispy char, and the fries were cooked just right (crispy on the outside & tender in the middle.). Several choices of seasonings for the fries, too.

Fried Green tomatoes yummmmm. Hamburgers cooked perfectly. Only 3 tables on floor but others were high tables.

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is trendy/nice! Seating is limited during busy hours. The burgers, fries, homemade potato chips, fried pickles/jalepenos - all fresh and delicious! Best beer selection around. Bike rack out front makes it easy to enjoy the bike lanes around town with the family and stop in here for a break! Kid-friendly.

The atmosphere is homey and the employees are down to earth, friendly folks from the area that know their customers. The food is always freshly cooked with care. Portions and prices are generous and reasonable. The waitress took time to be nice to my daughter and took a photo of her for Facebook. This is a great destination or planned lunch / dinner stop for a day trip. Rt60 is a nice, scenic drive and not far from the blue ridge parkway.

Stopped in for some burgers and wings after a baseball game. Service was friendly and fast. Unique atmosphere of a converted 1950's style gas station to a trendy styled pub. Reasonable prices and quality ingredients. I had a double cheese burger with grilled onions, seasoned fries, and fried pickles. Had a basket of hot wings for the table that were crispy and delicious. Plenty of beers on tap. Definitely worth checking it out.
