Pizza
Audrey C.

The waiters here were very fast and helpful. The food came out quickly. We got the toasted ravioli which was good and the plain cheese pizza. I really love this pizza, the cheese was very flavorful and I will definitely be back!

Meatball sub!
Shii W.

Was wanting a meatball sub sooo bad.. been passing this place for years! And I .. Of course I pulled already knowing what I want thanks to yelp! The service was cool nothing over the top & nothing to be displeased about.‍ But that white chocolate bread pudding was worth every dime! Visited 2 more times since then! The atmosphere gives local staple/ mom&pop shop.. outdoor /indoor seating.. and they're pet friendly‍ for all the good boys and girls out there!

Dry, hard meatball.
David N.

I give the benefit of the doubt to every restaurant but I've never had a great food experience here. I like the bar but the food is never great. Tonight's spaghetti and meatballs, a dish you'd think it'd be hard to offer poorly, had two meatballs. Quantity not a disappointment but one meatball was hard and dry. Like it was leftover from the night before. The pasta and sauce was just okay. Like school lunchroom quality. I want this place to be great. It's close to home and has a terrific ambiance and, like I said a great bar.

Meat pizza(can't remember what they called it)

The pizza was outstanding! Really liked the crust. The service was good but we also showed up early after golf so there is that. The place looks like what it is an old gas station. It has that real cool gas station off Route 66 vibe. Good place to have a pint and a pie!!

Buffalo Shrimp Pizza
Tiffany J.

I enjoyed visiting The Filling Station. I heard the buffalo shrimp pizza was amazing and it lived up to the hype! The house ranch set every other topping off. The star was the blue cheese and buffalo sauce! Very good pizza!!

Old World stromboli
Paige K.

Great service. Love the "build your own slice" option any time of day. My favorite is the Eggplant Alfredo. But I tried a new thing this time - - the Old World stromboli (prosciutto, spinach, caramelized onions and buffalo mozzarella served with a side of alfredo sauce). It was delicious and massive, ended up being 3 meals! They keep local beers on tap, sports on all the TVs inside and out. Patio is a great option! Parking in the lot is easy and ample.

Chicken parm
Jim M.

Found this place on the way to the airport, wife wanted lunch before her flight. The atmosphere was that of a sports bar type place. It was crowded outside where we sat due to football on the tv's. The service was about what you would expect, and you had a bit of time for the food to come out. I had the chicken parmigiana sandwich with fries. The fries were really good, the sandwich was as so so. Had an odd taste to it. It was edible, but I could only eat half of it. My daughter had the meatball sandwich, she said hers had an odd taste as well. I will give this place another shot if we are heading to the airport. Next time I will get the pizza only... hopefully it will be much better than the sandwiches.

Chicago-Style Italian Beef Hoagie

Looking for a good pizza place and found them on Yelp. Even though the reviews were old I decided to give them a try anyways . The place is located in a nice location . They have a patio and dine in option . I went with the patio since it was a nice evening and football was on. They have televisions inside and out . The servers were very friendly and we were seated right away. Didn't know what to order so I started with mozzarella sticks to kill some time . The mozzarella sticks were ok . Who can go wrong with heating up frozen sticks . I decided to go with a sandwich instead of pizza . The Chicago Steak Sandwich . It comes with veggies, cheese and meat . I opted for the veggies on the side and add grilled onions . This was suggested to me by the waitress. Wasn't a bad idea at all . My son had pepperoni pizza since he is a pizza lover . He wasn't a fan of this at all . The crust was a little over cooked. Overall the service exceeded the food . Good place to come have a drink and enjoy the atmosphere on a nice evening .

the outside of the building
Russell G.

Came here to have a Sunday outing. Usually we get pizza but decided to experiment today. The ladies got the burgers but I decided to go with the chicken club. The ham that was in the ham stole the show. It was delicious. The waitress was stellar. Attended to every request with speed. The place has indoor and outside seating but we decided to sit inside. They said the burgers were good too

I finally got to check out Bygones! My friend and I went for a late night bite and a cocktail, and…read morewe sat at the bar. The service was quick and the hospitality was unmatched. They have a food truck that I've heard wonderful things about and I ordered the chicken Caesar salad. It was almost like a chopped Caesar salad and it was just the right amount for a small girl dinner. If you like Parmesan cheese, this is a must order as they do not skimp on that! What was really nice however was that you couldn't tell the food was from a food truck. It was great quality and you are able to order from inside the bar and they deliver it to you. That was a great service. I can't quite remember which cocktail I got, but it was very delicious and at one point the server had even given me a new chilled glass so my drink would remain cold as I sipped on it. This is definitely a great date night spot or just a place to grab a drink with friends, definitely a little more upscale as we were there in the evening, so the lights were dim. I won't drop my rating as it's spring time in the South but I remember being cold immediately as I walked in- but that's typical for a lot of places.

I saw a tweet recently that said "if your beer costs more than $4, you are at a 'dive-themed' bar."…read moreBourbon Street Bar and Lounge is NOT 'dive-themed,' it is a dive. It's an interesting mix of people. Retired frat guys playing pool, usually an odd wedding party, a couple of resident characters in leotards. It's like a watering hole in the Safari, lots of different cats intermingling. It's fantastic. True to its name, it does remind me of New Orleans. The ominous folding table and chairs in the parking lot with ashtrays is hilarious. Truly a liminal space if you open your mind to that. Inside is warm and decorated with memorabilia/paraphernalia of bar nights past. We did karaoke with Connie. We had the premie baby (vodka or gin, on ice, in a giant pickle jar). You're not bar-hopping if you're coming here. This is your final destination of the night. Prepare for that. It was somehow near 3am when we left, and the room had not cleared out a bit.

But within an hour it got slammed with college age people. I signed up for karaoke right behind my friend and sat down to wait. I really liked that they had a little ticker on the screens that showed who was coming up next... Except it wasnt accurate at all. I watched as person after person got called up, out of order, and they sang 2 or even 3 times. The guy running the thing decided even though there were 20+ people in line to sing that he was gonna insert himself to sing multiple times, which is my BIGGEST pet peeve with karaoke. You are being paid to let people sing and you insert yourself? Anyways, one of my friends finally gets called up to sing. And halfway through her song, some drunk nepo baby decides its his song now. Walked up and physically pulled the mic out of her hands and took over singing the song. Security watched it happened. The guy running karaoke watched it happen. They did nothing. Her boyfriend and I had to threaten to remove him from the building to get him to give her the mic back. and then he did it again at the end of the song. I was there for 3 hours and never got called to sing. Every one of my friends were called up. and my name was forever at the "#2 in line to sing" for most of the night. To top it off, as I closed out, another drunk guy tried to snatch my credit card away from the bartender as she handed it to me. I had to reach out and grab it before he could. In my 36 years alive, Ive never been in a bar fight but it was close to happening TWICE at this place. I wont be back. (Bartenders werr nice but the guy running karaoke needs to hang it up and let someone thats not in their 80s run it.)

I ordered the featured Old Fashioned for the evening along with a WhistlePig flight, both were excellent. The Old Fashioned was smooth, balanced, and exactly what a bourbon lover hopes for. One thing I really appreciate about Sloan's is that they host tastings almost weekly (or very often), and they're great about posting details on their social media so you always know what's coming up. It makes the experience feel curated and intentional. The service is always amazing; knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about bourbon. And the atmosphere? Grown and sophisticated. It's the perfect spot for a date night, a business meet-up, or just a refined night out if you appreciate a good pour.

As I walked in the bartender yells at me, "What part of banned for life don't you understand....?" Fortunately, the PTSD keeping me on perpetual edge kicked in immediately and I responded, "Hey you're wearing my t-shirt you... give it back. And, how can I be banned from a place I've never been before?" The bartender and I then got down to the long history of Marty's PM (formally in Five Points), the legal and jurisdictional control of lifetime bans, and general 'long time no see, how you been?' chit chat. The place is situated in a nearly empty strip mall, which gives it a slightly post-apocalyptic vibe. It was nevertheless pretty crowded. They seem to be serving the same healthcare professionals/biker crowd that used to populate the 5-points version back in the day. I didn't try the food, but it looked pretty good. The prior version had one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches to be found. My only knock on the place would be the lack of draft beers. I toughed it out drinking Jack and Cokes. It's a little out of the way for me, but I suspect I'll be back sooner rather than later.

Soup changes daily and this day was chickpea and chorizo. Nothing life changing about it but it wasn't bad. We walked into a small, dark, crowded dive bar and ordered amongst several other people after waiting in line shoulder to shoulder with other customers. I say this not to complain (because with a crowd like this on a random weekday, they're obviously doing something right) but to take your kids in car seats (‍) with caution. Crowds in small spaces stress me out and it would have been even worse if we'd had the boys with us. I'd also highly suggest going on a day when you can sit outside. There's very minimal seating inside. They do have a lovely, spacious patio that also feels like a garden with plenty of trees for shade. However, they make it clear they don't want dogs there. Parking was horrific. A narrow street with cars on each side. We barely fit through it. If there wouldn't have been an open spot on it, I'm not sure what the next option is because I didn't see anywhere else and this street only held so many. I would dine here again because the sandwiches were fresh and delicious and they obviously know what they're doing! I was pleasantly surprised that they had prosecco as well. Just heed my few warnings and you'll enjoy as well!
