The carhops came right up to our window to take our order and were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The menu is surprisingly large for such a small place. We ordered the Wiz Burger, chicken nuggets, tots, onion rings, fries, and Brown Cow root beer floats. Prices were very reasonable, which was a nice bonus. One thing I really loved was the option to order their homemade root beer in an ice-cold glass mug (which you return when you're done). It definitely adds to the nostalgic experience. Our favorite items were the crispy tater tots, the chicken nuggets (which were more like mini chicken strips), and the root beer floats. The Wiz Burger was definitely unique, but it wasn't a crowd-pleaser in our car. It's made with loose meat mixed with onions, pickles, and cheese, which may appeal to some but wasn't our favorite. I'd definitely go back to try the chicken sandwich, pork tenderloin, or spicy buffalo dog. The food itself might be closer to 3 stars, but the unique throwback nostalgia of the carhop era bumps the overall experience into 4-star territory. It's a must-try-at-least-once kind of place.

I stopped in recently, all the 70 years in buisness got my attention. Sincerely from my heart…read morecongratulations. I bought the mug for Independence memorabilia. My review is, for me, the burger,its not that good, its just not for me. My expectation was, they had the "IT FACTOR" for the burgers. Something you would have expected from the day, 60/70 years ago. The old larger bun, not biscuit size, grilled burger meat, mine seemed losely patted and steamed and more than pickle, onion and mustard. Maybe thats just the way its always been and others love it. Im glad I went but it is a one stop for me. I wish you another 70 years of continued service and a great icon of Independence, Mo.

This place is great! We live in Lee's Summit and have never been here…read more Our niece was visiting town and said she wanted some barbecue, so since they have a toddler, we looked up something close to their Airbnb on Yelp and found The Filling Station. Like another iconic joint in the metro, this one is a former gas station. The brisket at that place is a little bit better. However, everything else that I tried here is spectacular. The sliced brisket was just a little dry. It wasn't bad. The sausage was amazing. It is housemade with green onions and incredible. I generally don't care for sausages that are different, but this one is exceptional and everyone at the table tried it and loved it. The pulled pork was fresh, which is super important and delicious! Wonderful smoky flavor and super tender. They know exactly what they're doing with pork. I'm gonna say that the beans here are the best in the metro. I'm very particular and I don't like beans that are too sweet like Slaps. Those gag me. The Filling Station beans are absolute perfection. Other reviews say the same. The creamy coleslaw was wonderful! My wife put it on her pulled pork sandwich and I had a little bit for dessert because it's sweet. The homemade potato salad was also the best I've had in a long time. We can't wait to return!

The food is made to order, so it did come out hot and fresh. We also ordered two shakes, and if you enjoy really thick milkshakes you can eat with a spoon (not sip through a straw), you'll probably like them. The staff was friendly and efficient, but overall, I don't feel the quality matched the price. I'm not sure I'd visit again.

While they were enjoyable it did blow my mind. Cheeseburger was definitely good. Meat was cooked well and bun was nice and warm. Toppings were evenly distributed as well. Why the deduction of stars is fries were nothing special. The shake was most likely pre made and then set in the freezer instead of mixed on order. I think this is a definite try and a great place to love especially if you are local to KC area.
