This is our 2nd time dining here and we still love it!!!

Must order:
Presley's Pasta
Seafood Holiday
Liberty Burger
Frozen Brazo Cake

Their Sangria pitcher is also good!

Sadly, we didn't like The Filling Station pizza even though it carries the restaurant's name.

Don't forget to order their shakes too! We had strawberry and chocolate. It was surprising that they gave us the extra shake in a separate cup instead of throwing them away like other restaurants do. So this is plus points for us!

Been hearing about this place for years. Finally able to try it. Came for lunch on a Saturday and for parking was directed at the side street. From the 1st floor,already a spectacle to the eyes especially if you're into vintage memorabilia and anything from the 60s,50s and beyond.

Most staff were friendly,accomodating and pleasant except for 1 who wasn't smiling everytime she was called . Staff also was not familiar to what fish was use when asked about the fisg in the sandwhich.

Love the presentation of the food. Pricey yes. Even smb pale was 180. Quesadilla was creamy delicious.

Wish the bill was broken down and itemized for easy double checking.

This place is a winner! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the amazing collection of memorabilia. It really sets the mood. The food was delicious  and it was cooked perfectly.  The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was lively and overwhelming.  A great spot for a casual meal or a night out with friends.
Stepping into the Filling Station is like stepping back in time (in a good way!)

The place was a delight! Visually enticing, and you will not get bored; every corner has a cute and interesting detail. The moment you stepped in, your eyes were stuffed with the amazing collection, plus I love vintage and old-school vibes. The food was good, and servings could be shared, and there's a lot you can try from American, Chinese, and Filipino food! Of course, their wide range of smoothies and cakes is one thing to try if given a chance to come back. There's one thing that we did not like: the service. When we asked for our leftover food to be wrapped for takeout, it took us some time for someone to notice. A waitress noticed us; she even said she'd come back after we asked to bill out. Then, when she came back with our bill and got our payment, she said she'd come back again. Yes, she came back with paper and a box to put our leftovers in; she said she'd come back again a second time, and then we waited again, maybe 20 minutes? Then my colleague and I decided to wrap our food by ourselves and left the place. Also, we asked for water multiple times, maybe 3? I initially thought it was self-service, and then I noticed they served water to others. I don't know if that was how we looked that day because we noticed a lot of attention was given to the vlogger that we happened to see dining on the same day as us.

We heard so much about this interesting place that we decided to go see it for ourselves. The Filling Station Bar and Cafe is an American Restaurant and it opens 24 hours. Its was located not far from our hotel and it took us only ten minutes to walk there. This amazing place has a fantastic and lively atmosphere. It gives out the retro 50’s cafes vibes. Imagine finding Darth Vader, Elvis Presley, Pink Panther, Captain America, Superman, Incredible Hulk and Harry Potter etc all under one roof… how cool is that! The place is decorated with lots of cool memorabilia. We had an enjoyable meal and the food was good. Portions were just right for us. The staff were friendly and they look so cute in their retro uniforms. Overall, it was an interesting and wonderful experience to dine here. Definitely a must visit if you’re in Manila, Philippines!
