DISTRICT BAR AND GRILL REVIEWS

Vibes are amazing. Absolutely LOVE the staff here! Bartenders, managers, servers and security are a hardworking group of people! Highly recommend going to any event Nia host here or at Half Baked.

Had a great time! A mix up with our tickets for the show was handled amazingly. All the girls working were friendly and so helpful. Despite the 5-hour drive, I would definitely return.

I go out of my way to come here because they have some really amazing baked goods! I high-ly recommend coming here and checking it out.

THE FILLING STATION REVIEWS

We held a Birthday party here & it was fabulous. From our first meeting with Megan to discuss the menu & coordination of the nights events, it was nothing but a seamless process. We discussed my vision & Megan as well as all of her staff delivered. The food was amazing & the atmosphere was perfect! Thank you so much for making this event one for the books! I would highly recommend The Filling Station for your next get together!.

Went on a Saturday night around 6pm. Mackenzie was our server/bartender. Everything was good! The mozz sticks were yummy. Cheese curds were good. The burger was tasty. It is greasy but great drunk meal. Flat bread was alright! They don't have pizza which is sad, but it is what it is! Won money off the machines. Great place overall, should try!!!.

Smoked wings are phenomenal! Lunch service is great but be patient usually 1 server.

JAX PUB REVIEWS

This is a nice place to get a drink and get out of the heat of the summertime. The staff is very friendly with quick service and good conversation. I would recommend this place for a quick lunchtime meal. It's Very Nice.

Has that classic bar feel in atmosphere, the bartender is a sweetheart and is very professional, food is great, had the Reuben, delicious, same with their drinks as there is a great selection of cocktails, beer, whiskey. Great music while you chat up with friends.

Fantastic restaurant/bar. Very clean & comfortable. Food was great, very tasty, and reasonable prices. Wait staff did great job too! Thanks! We'll be back.
