Been there a number of times and the portions are always large and the prices are very reasonable and the food is great.
It was amazing how well the pulled off Super Bowl sunday. They had a full house and the staff was able to keep up without any problems.
We will be going back again... Maybe even tonight. -

I go with Shawnte C. for the Monday 1/2 price wings. I agree with everything she says, but will add that ALL the wing flavours are awesome. I'm giving 4 stars though, because once a hockey game starts, the television audio is so loud, it's inaudible - just an ear-splitting roar. Hearing your neighbour is virtually impossible. TURN IT DOWN!!

If you are looking for a light lunch or a couple of beers while watching the game then this is your place in the Beaches. It doesn't have the greatest ambiance but if you are watching a game on one of it's many HD TVs you won't care.
On my one visit (I will go again) I had a burrito which was really great. It certainly surpassed my expectations for bar food (and was on special at half price.)
I would not come all the way to the Beaches for a visit but if you live here or are here on other business I would highly recommend the Fill Station. -

Sports + Beer + Good Food = The Fill Station.
A solid place run by solid guys (and gals). Always a pleasure going in there. Keep up the good work!
Half price wings on Tuesdays is a brilliant time to go. The hot wings are superb with house-made blue cheese dressing on the side. -

We try to go to the fill station every Monday on 1/2 price wing night as a treat for suffering through the worst day of the week.
It's always full on Mondays, and they always seem to only have one server on (which is odd), but Annette manages to keep everyone happy, remembers our order and takes care of the bar like a pro. She's funny and friendly, and despite being run off her feet, never seems panicked or tired. I've waited tables a long time in my life, and I can't imagine how she manages 12 tables plus the bar all by her lonesome.
The wings are the largest and meatiest I've ever had, and although half price is great, they are worth the money at full price every time. We always have Fire and Ice, a mix of hot sauce and horseradish and they are TASTY! We were sad when they stopped having Keiths on tap, but we now regularly drink Barking Squirrel, and it's nice to have local draft to choose from. -

If you find yourself in the "beaches" and you have a craving to watch sports and eat some great bar food ,go to The Fill Station! Although at the far east end of Queen St( just past the Valu Mart) it is well worth the visit. The food is great ( also very large portions) and you can find any sport being televised from one of the 12 HD TV's. My only comment would be that the beer selection; both on tap and bottles is lacking; but they have Guinness on tap so for me that makes up for the limited selection. Cheers and Enjoy The Fill Station.

Edit #2: Rating adjusted to reflect the downward trend in service and food quality.
I haven't been here in months without having slow service (I go here often because it's the closest place). I'm a patient person, so I don't mind going back. If I know I'm in a hurry I just go someplace else.
Took my parents here while they were in town visiting and again, service was slow (due to the kitchen, not the server at least). But worse, the food was terrible.
Both parents ordered fish and chips and the fish arrived so overcooked that most people would just say it was burnt. It was also supposed to arrive with coleslaw. It didn't.
Girlfriend ordered a grilled veggie sandwich which was supposed to have grilled mushrooms and goat cheese in addition to other vegetables. It had neither. It was just red and green peppers and perhaps some onion)
Get your act together Fill Station. If I hadn't known you were capable of 4 or 5 stars, this one experience would have been a 1 star review

After moving to the Beaches a month ago I've made the effort to eat at a different place at every opportunity. That decision is now a mixed blessing. While it helped me discover the Fill Station, for every great place like the Fill Station I visit it makes it tougher to keep trying new places that you know aren't likely to be as good.
I can't comment on the selection of beers as I'm not a big beer drinker myself, but everything else I can say is solid. For me the biggest indicator of quality is the food (it's not like the bar is brewing the beer themselves). Some bars will be content to offer deep fried frozen foods, and others...well, require that the cooks actually know how to cook.
They certainly know how to cook at the Fill Station. Portions were good (my friend's wrap was so large that it was almost vulgar) and the service was fairly good as well. While there was nothing of interest on at the time, the large HD TV screens would be great for watching the hockey game.
