The 4th Street
Fillin Station
This welcoming restaurant makes it easy to have fun.
Being served amazing food and having fun with the whole family is something all of us enjoy. The 4th Street Fillin Station is a popular restaurant to go with family, friends, and even pets. My experience at this restaurant was very enjoyable and I will certainly be returning in the future.
The outside restaurant provides a casual environment with games, live entertainment, and a variety of foods. Located in Cocoa Beach, it’s a great place to have a good time.
Manager Clint Leaf loves working in the restaurant industry.
“To start out with, it was just working with friends. Then it turned into trying to help people have a good time, bring happiness and good food
and drinks to people, and help the
community thrive,” says Leaf.
The Fillin Station has many unique features that separate it from other restaurants and add to its casual vibe. At the front of the restaurant there is a gas station with packaged frozen desserts you can buy. Leaf plans to add even more features that add to this experience.
“Probably the atmosphere is the best part about it,” says Leaf, “We’re adding more things in.”
The restaurant also provides
many events for entertainment.
There are cool games around the
restaurant that you can enjoy while
you wait for your food or just as a
fun activity. Some of these games
are giant Jenga and the popular game Hook and Ring. Pets are welcome at The Fillin Station, and the restaurant even provides water for thirsty pets. The restaurant also sports live entertainment on some days, which contributes to the general atmosphere.
The restaurant offers lunch, dinner, and late night meals from many different cultures for very affordable prices. The meals come from distinct backgrounds and include but are not limited to American, Hispanic, and even Asian foods. Vegan and vegetarian based dishes are also on the menu, adding to the variety.
“We’re kinda a little over the board: we have bulgogi,

tacos.”
The service that I received at The Fillin Station was
wonderful. They were very understanding, even while I was havingproblemsfindingexactlywhatmenuitemIwasinthe mood for. There were so many delicious meals on the menu that I didn’t know which to pick!
My experience was very enjoyable. The ambience of the restaurant was very appealing, with attractive visual features such as a tree in the backyard hung with string lights. With casual decorative tables everywhere and a friendly atmosphere, I found it easy to converse with strangers and
make new friends with those who came into the restaurant. Meeting new people was made easy, as the layout of the restaurant was very open. The entire staff was understanding and kind throughout my experience.
Sitting down at a table next to the tree, I ordered bulgogi. While I waited, there were many activities like Jenga that kept me occupied.
The bulgogi beef I ordered was very delicious. I ordered it because it was recommended by many other patrons of the restaurant. After eating, I ordered an ice cream from the gas station, which was a tasty way to finish my meal.
Shortly after, we continued our experience by playing some games. I enjoyed meeting all of the sweet dogs that different
customers brought along to the restaurant.
My favorite part of the restaurant was my
surroundings. The whole place was relaxing and the decor made it easy to appreciate every moment. I will definitely be going there a lot in the future.
In general, my experience was great and I’ve decided that it’s definitely worth going again. I am amazed at how much is offered at the restaurant. The time I spent there absolutely made me love the restaurant. I strongly urge you to go to have a great time.
