Great music, great wings, great crab cakes The bartender was a one man show when we visited, cooking and tending to bar and we never had to wait for anything. (believe his name is Chad) Would absolutely recommend and return

Listen to me! Just go to this place. It's a little bit confusing because this place has 3 names, different owners or something. But the food is AMAZING ! 100% recommend. Chad, the bartender, is awesome too. Vibe 10/10. Order the gumbo or their new dish, the jambalaya pasta. Sooo good! The food comes in cups, but trust their process. It's worth it!

Trust me- this food is good! I’ve eaten at many restaurants in NOLA and over paid for a lot of mediocre meals. This place is legit. I will come back for the jambalaya and hot sausage po’ boy. Great service and hot food.

We stayed in NOLA over the weekend and lucky for us we found chad & the filling station on day 1! their crawfish étouffée was one of the best things we ate on the trip (might just be the best in town). the seafood gumbo and boudin egg rolls were also top notch. the music & atmosphere have the best vibe and you’ll be well taken care of! thank you to our favorite bartender, Chad!!

Came here on a whim our first night in New Orleans because I saw they had 4.8 stars. Was not disappointed! This place was great, had a beer and literally the best roast beef sandwich I've had in my life. (And I do love a good sandwich) just really good simple food. Done incredibly well, bartender was friendly and chill, the place was very relaxed vibes. Definitely coming back in this week to try some other dishes.
