There is no doubt that Ford's Filling Station has the potential to be a great new Culver City spot, but based on my first visit, I probably won't ever give it the second chance. A surprisingly small menu and slow initial service got the evening off to a less than stellar start, but a delicious appetizer (a flat bread with cheese) helped. The dinner took a dive when my wife's chicken was terribly undercooked. The waiter took her dinner, left me with mine and returned with the cooked chicken 10 minutes later (after I'd finished) without so much as an appology. With the type of service expected from an $8 per meal restaurant, I was most upset when I really looked at the final check. The food was definitely overpriced for the quality and the service didn't help.
Pros: Great appetizer, Ideal location
Cons: Unresponsive service, Undercooked food, Slim/overpriced menu
