What a great little mom and pop restaurant. I mean fantastic really. The menu is as long as Santa's Christmas list and everything is made to order. It's truly amazing. The food is as good as it gets. Can not be any better. Everything! Oh, and the deserts are to die for. But the best thing about it is the cleanliness. Very, very clean. Loved the place. read more

Always a great place to eat. Saturday is the Fried Chicken special. It is a great meal. Be sure to get a dessert to go, cause you'll be too full to eat it there. Service is always great. And yes will be busy reading all the license plates from all over the country while you're there. read more

This is a quaint little mom and pop diner. The owner popped out to apologize for not having a full serving of the okra. So she gave them to us. So kind of her. Check out the Facebook page for specials. We enjoyed this place. read more

Great homemade cooking. Desserts are delicious just like my grandmother made. Pork rinds are a must have. Friendly staff.

I went on Friday to get the Catfish, the service was good, my wait time was not bad at all. I probably won't go back, the catfish is a little soggy, and i did not care for the hard homemade potato chips, (just a personal preference) and to me the hush puppies were more cake like than I am used to and prefer. One thing that really shocked me is the tartar sauce is more like a sweet Cole slaw dressing, very runny and very very sweet. To each his own, but I have been eating catfish dinners many years, this is not one I would go back for. read more

The Fillin Station - Catfish Dinner - Barbeque Near Me - Lampe, Missouri

The food is delicious down-home cooking. We both had the chicken-fried chicken. It was 2 boneless chicken breasts pounded thin but not so thin that all you taste is batter. The mashed potatoes are real potatoes and even have pieces of potato in it. The cream corn was good and the green beans were fine but could have benefitted with some bacon and onion. The dinners came with a thick slice of soft homemade bread. If you don't have huge appetites, you could easily split and entree to save room for dessert. We started out with the intention of getting dessert, but were too full by the end of the meal. The service was friendly. We enjoyed looking at all the license plates and we can't wait to go back again. read more

Great southern food! Service is always friendly and fast. Pork tenderloin is amazing and the Patty Melt is a great burger. Don't skip dessert! read more

For a small, family owned biz, they are doing their best to bring delicious home-smoked food. Sometimes the staff can get flustered when there is a rush and they are short-staffed but they still bring out great food even if it takes a little longer to prepare. I recommend the BBQ nachos, Fried catfish (Friday special), burnt ends (Thursday special), the chicken strips, and bread puddings. They close early (8pm on weekdays) so arrive before 7:30 if you want to go! Since it's family-owned, they like to be home early I guess to enjoy their night with their family. :) Still worth the go and wait. read more

Family owned restaurant with daily specials but today we had the beef brisket sandwiches. Missed catfish Friday yesterday. Brisket was delicious though! And we found room left to split a Bread Pudding with ice cream. So good. Highly recommended, read more

On a recent trip to Branson we rented a condo and this one one of the only place pen in the fall season so we didn't want to drive 45 mins to Branson. I will say they are friendly and. Worked hard to accommodate our large party of 15. But it's not real clean. I had a had a hair in my burger. It seem to be more locals that go here. So we won't be going back if we are in the area. read more

Good food in an out of the way place. It is small location in the space of an old zephyr gasoline filling station. sometimes the wait can be pretty long but is somewhat expected for such a small and unique family run business. read more

Great local food. Family run and very nice people. Daily specials quick service and priced fairly. I personally like the brisket nachos and bread pudding. Overall I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Not one bad experience here. read more

The Best things here are homemade desserts, beards & daily specials. Good home cooking. The hamburgers are disappointing & ordinary. The BBQ items are over-smoked & the sauces are worse than ordinary. BUT if you like good pot roast, or catfish or even meatloaf, this is a great place. Just don't order the BBQ or you'll be disappointed. I come here often for the great specials. read more

The Fillin Station - Excellent pot roast. - Barbeque Near Me - Lampe, Missouri

Take this place for what it is: a knockout Mom-n-Pop, down-home restaurant. We came in around dinner time with three small kids. My husband had the Roast Beef Special with mashed potatoes and cream corn. I ordered a Hickory-Smoked Combo with Pulled Pork and Brisket, green beans and cream corn as the sides. The kiddos had a corn dog and grilled cheese. The roast beef was great, BBQ was decent. The cream corn was delicious, the kernels are still moist, sweet, and crunchy and the dressing isn't overpowering. My kids scarfed every bit of their meals, I guess that's an indication they enjoyed their supper- right? What blew us away was the dessert. We had cherry cobbler and pecan cobbler, both served with ice cream. We were STUFFED, trust me. The cobbler was so good we couldn't stop! Loved the staff, prices were fair, food was great. I'd definitely recommend to families, large or small, wanting to save some money and avoid the chain restaurant JUNK. This is a gem for sure. read more

Great Fried Chicken on a Saturday. Huge portions and home-style preparation makes this a country-style gem. Owners are the ones doing the cooking and their pride is evident. I will return soon because they are supposedly very handy with the KC style BBQ. Recommended, but be sure to be hungry. No one gets out with extra room to spare. read more

This is the ultimate family-style country restaurant. You walk in the door and you are greeted with smiles and welcomes from staff and other patrons. Most evenings you will get an invitation from a fellow patron to sit in the empty chairs at their table. The BBQ, smoked meats, fried fish, fried meats, ... well, their meat in general is to die for. I've had the brisket, bbq pulled pork, & fried chicken tenders, other then at home, you wont find better food. The desserts are amazing... If you want one of their evening desserts (yes, they change everyday), you have to order it almost when you get in the door! They go fast! and once they are out, they are out. Everything is made fresh that day... so its going to be good. read more

I had the Thursday special, "Burnt Ends". Very generous portions and great smoke flavor. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Glad we stopped here on the way to Dogwood Canyon. The special was fried chicken and it didn't disappoint. Before I get to the meal, can I just say how friendly the family that owns this place is? Don't expect to come in and just mind your own business. They visit with everyone who comes in. And it's genuine friendliness! This is rare today in the age of fast food joints and restaurant chains. This place has history and you can feel it. Now back to the crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside fried chicken. It was perfectly seasoned and probably the best I've ever had at a restaurant. It came with two homemade sides and a slice of the bread they make in house. My husband had a burger but it was nothing special. He said the onion rings were good. I think I picked the winning menu item this time. We also bought some peach cobbler to go. If you're on the road in this area, stop in for a home cooked meal served with a smile. read more

Used to be a great local place to eat, service, portion size, and food quality is not even close to what it used to be. Too many shortcuts being taken, store bought deserts are norm, and tasteless barbecue is the entree of the day. If your food is served cold don't send it back, they use a saliva soaked finger as a temperature probe after another round in the microwave. Don't bother to tip your waiter or waitress if your lucky enough to get good service, it all goes to the owner anyway. Great places to eat at the lake are hard to find today. Take a drive to Cape Fair, prepare for a wait if you don't get there early and you will be amazed with the experience. (They don't close at 7pm either) read more

Great "home cooking." An oft-frequented local joint. The portions are good and the prices are fair. Food was hot but on the bland side. Add salt and pepper and you're set. read more

Great food and friendly service. Have not had a bad meal and the desserts are the best.

Amazing food and friendly service. Best food in town! We're from California and come to Missouri to visit family. We make sure to come to the Fillin station multiple times during our stay. This past trip we were in town for seven days and went to the Fillin station four times because the food is THAT GOOD. I seriously can't think of a bad thing on the menu. And the people being absolutely amazing and friendly makes it even better! read more

Not what it used to be. Food was bland, small portions, help seems to argue among themselves. Created an uncomfortable atmosphere.

We have eaten here three times now and enjoyed it very much. The fried chIcken, burnt ends, fried catfish, and fried shrimp were very good. There side were great as well. I enjoy there coleslaw and fries. I think they have great deserts as well but we have always been too full to try them. May have to stop by just for desert sometime. We live a short drive from the place so I'm sure we are becoming regulars. read more

Me and my husband just came in for cake, to wait on our car to get fixed across the street at Al's. I had the hummingbird cake and he had the triple chocolate cake. His was ok..a little too rich. But I loved mine, especially the frosting. The workers are nice. Defiantly seems like the local hang out for the older ones. :) enjoyed our visit and service. read more

Maybe I'm just city folk with expectations that are too big but when I think 4 stars I hope to be pretty impressed by the food, and I was left unsatisfied and disappointed by the food here. We got the brisket and fries and pulled pork and onion rings and I honestly thought the meat was dry and lacking flavor. But surely a BBQ place should have their own signature sauce to impress the consumer, right? Again, left disappointed and unimpressed. If they could improve I would start there. read more

The best home cooked chicken dinner ever! I've been cooking for 50 years and hands down this place hit it out of the park. I had the chicken dinner special with sweet cream corn, mashed potatoes and 3 huge pieces of chicken. My husband had ribs backed beans and potato salad. We shared and although the ribs were good with a deep smoky flavor, my favorite was the chicken dinner. Don't leave without dessert! We took home the bread pudding and chocolate cake. Delicious!!!! We're visiting Branson and we plan to hit this place again before we leave. They also do take out and catering! read more
