The Fill Inn Station

"Don’t feel like cooking tonight? I know just the place for you, The Old Fill Inn. They have amazing pizza, ice cream, and a bunch of other homestyle food plus takeout and gift certificates. The Fill Inn is a family owned restaurant, in Batchtown, IL. Their employees are always fun, friendly and quick. I tried The Fill Inn in the first place because my friends and family recommended it, it was also local. This business has also been there for many nights after basketball and football games. I am qualified to write this review because I have been to many homestyle restaurants. I have been going to The Old Fill Inn for 10+ years. I go here at least 4-5 times a month. I also know many workers there. My family and I have had many family gatherings and just dinners with friends here. I recommend this product for many reasons. First because the staff is amazing. Every time I go in there they remember my whole family's names. They are always so kind, caring, and friendly. They will always stay and have a good conversation with you. They also check up on you to make sure everything is good. They are also very quick, never an empty drink at your table.Reason two why I recommend The Old Fill Inn is because they have many options. From chicken strips to cheesecake they have so much variety. In the summer my dad loves to get catfish fritters and the rest of the family enjoys other types of fish. On nights with my great grandma when she didn’t want to cook we would enjoy the fried chicken dinner with our family. They also have homemade desserts like cheesecake in various flavors, ice cream, ice cream cakes, and pies. Which you can place orders and have written on if you would like. If you have an event you would like to have their food at, they cater as well. Finally I would like to recommend The Fill In for any ones who needs a quick dinner. You can call ahead and get to-go orders. There have been many nights after long days of work and sports where we have picked up pizza for quick dinners or got to-go. I would recommend this restaurant to crowds after church, sports families, and really anyone who would like a good homestyle meal. Whether you're busy, don't want to cook, want catering, need a place for a family dinner, or just want to go out to eat. The Fill Inn is just the place. Before going to The Old Fill Inn, know on Thursdays the special is chicken so note it might be a little more busy, they are also not open on mondays. Now knowing this, stop reading and go try it out."

"We had our class reunion there. Great food, friendly people. One of the best Restaurants anywhere."

"First of all it is definitely a family restaurant!! Kids everywhere. Personally I love it. They also had the basketball game on! Most importantly, the food was awesome. You HAVE to get a dessert. Even if you get take out! The server was wonderful. She was soooo busy and still did a great job!!! If you're in a hundred mile radius, you're close enough to drive over!!"

"Stumbled upon this restaurant while out exploring Illinois and am so glad I did. Wonderful food an service and the coleslaw was so good we left with two to go to enjoy at home. Making it a personal goal to go back for breakfast one day!"

"Nice country diner attached to a bar. As the name suggests it was a gas station at one time as well. Always friendly people working there. Only negative, it's off the beaten path, but that adds to its charm. Last time in, I had breakfast and the portions were big, with perfectly cooked hash browns."
