Tried shutting it off and waiting, nothing... decided to keep driving it to make it back to my shop and out of nowhere it started driving normal, the issue went away. I restarted the car no more issue, check engine light was on but I cleared it and it never came back.

Read before that others were experiencing this also when filling up their car after it was nearly empty.
The issue you described sounds like bad fuel in the tank. That's one sound possibility at least. Might be a good idea to avoid that gas station, and always avoid filling up when the station tanks are being refueled.
