Fries and server were great, until I found a hair in our food. I still paid full price and tipped 20%.. the server was great, not her fault. Food would have been good too if the kitchen was more careful. The hair was 100% not me or my girlfriends, trust me- we hoped that’s what it was, but it was clearly not ours. Disgusting to be honest.Kitchen needs to take more care when preparing food.
The burgers are great at the filling station and date I say not at all expensive. Beer on draught also great. The decor is fun and the waitress very cheerful.
Have you ever had curly fries, but thick like wedge fries? If not you absolutely must come try them at The Filling Station. I’m a fry fanatic so naturally I would rave about the amazing, perfect cooked and flavoured fries, but there is so much more to be offered. Although it’s technically a bar and grill, I can’t help but feel like it’s a diner that had a love child with a wild-hearted, road-tripping adventurer. The theme is centred around cars; the food is cleverly named around anything and everything car -even my beloved curly wedge fries are called “tire treads”. My burger of choice was “The Wrangler”, it had the ingredients of a standard burger with the addition of a bbq aioli, which really tied all the flavours together. I was happy to learn that nearly all of the fresh ingredients (meats, dairy, etc.) were local and the beef pasture raised. Paired off with lemonade, I definitely left satisfied. If you’re feeling the classic diner vibes, the strawberry milkshake is divine and also pairs nice with the burger.Looking back I would have tried much more, but the portions are large so I would definitely consider sharing some of the starters in the future (I have my eye on the “hub caps”, you’ll have to go there to find out what they are). I wish I took more photos of the inside and outside of the place, it really is a whole experience, and the staff make it that much more enjoyable. If I lived locally I would definitely we eating here minimum once a week.
Vibes: goodTastiness: midInspires cravings?: yes; I almost want a second burgerHaunted?: no; kitsch repels ghostsBe back soon?: oh you betchaI enjoy being here. The food won't blow your mind, but do expect more than simple greasy diner/pub fare. The burgers are good--but the buns on which they're served? *otherworldly.* Points as well to fries, hub caps, chicken tenders, and the slightly customized craft cocktail the server kindly recommended.
I’m a traveling healthcare worker so I’m new to the area. I tried going to four places tonight on a Friday night and was finally able to sit down here. So glad I did. Old fashion was DELISH and so was the fried pickles and burger. The Mustang burger I believe. The bartender gentleman was THEE sweetest. I’ll be coming back for sure.
The filling station is the best burger anywhere near the Bellingham area! I have never been disappointed. I would recommend one burger (or sandwich)-but I think it’s best to try them all because of their quality! Keep it up!
Great location, nice retro vibe. Great service and great quality food! Enough choices on the menu for everyone to get something they like! They were out of a few key menu items that I really wanted to try but what I did get was delicious and I can't complain. Will definitely come back again and hopefully get to try the station fries!
The Filling Station was a great place to eat. Food was great and the service was super quick. I had a chicken burger which was huge and really tasty. My husband had the Thunderbird burger and loved it. Will definitely go there again.
Great cheap place for food, with a wonderful cocktail menu
Had a very nice solo lunch here, not expecting much. The burger combo meal is a really good deal for a quality meal. I will come again.
