Got a breakfast sandwich that was underwhelming. I live a couple miles from this place and it’s closed most of the time. Why run a business if you’re only open 3-4 days per week for lunch hours only. Sell your business.

Hailing all the way from Washington, DC, I give The Durham Filling Station 5 Stars! It's been 2 years since I've been here because my mother was formerly hospitalized at Duke. I stumbled upon this place, so I stopped in for a bite to eat. I'm glad I did. It is a diamond in the cut! I wrote a review on my Facebook page, however, I neglected to write a review here on Google until today. I even did a little hashtag with my FB review which was, "Durham Filling Station. #GetYouSome" These guys get your order, get the food cooked fast & fresh, & it is made your way. So, BK move over.That Brisket Mac was everything. That Junkyard Burger was Top-Freaking-Notch. The fries were crispy & hot out of the grease. The bonus! I got to leave my business card on the board. That was awesome! Be sure to contact High Alert Emergency Preparedness when you're ready for my services!Parking: A small parking lot for a small business.

Farmer's burger with Bacon Fig jam!!!! Insanity! Best curly fries ever. Egg and cheese big enough for two meals.

Durham Filling Station is a classic greasy grill serving your cookout staples with fun, ingredient-bending twists.This is the sort of place where the food tastes exactly how it looks; burgers and dogs a la carte, curly fries, mac & cheese with brisket on top.The setup is pretty barebones, you order at a window and then either take it to go or have a seat one of 3 picnic tables under the awning next to the main body of the restaurant.The Filling Station really embraces simple, classic American diner food with a wide array of toppings -- it probably won't blow your mind (I don't think that's their goal) but you'll definitely be happy you came.The sweet tea was great too.
Food is terrific. Love the menu choices. Servers are super helpful and try to accommodate all needs but can be a challenge when they are super busy. Only, hesitation is the limited parking.

7-1-23Unassuming joint, but do go in! There is no interior seating, but a shaded area is to the left of the building with picnic tables. No bathrooms.I got the Junkyard Burger, which is their term for a bacon double cheeseburger. You can customize your toppings, of course. This is a huge, juicy burger and very filling. Excellent for my taste. We both sampled the onion rings and curly fries, and both are good. Partial to the fries, however. One order of either is large enough for two.Small amount of parking, so expect to fight this at peak times.Good grub.Parking: Maybe 5 spotsWheelchair accessibility: Poor accessibility
Small spot with a big flavor homemade to order food. Service is great.Parking: When busy this lot can be tight to get in and out of

Recently found this place, wish we had found it sooner! Awesome food and really nice staff. Will definitely be a regular customer.

Wasn't as impressed as reviews led us to believe. Burgers were over cooked. Seemed like it was a 75/15 ratio. Not juicy at all. Fries right out of bag were soggy and not crispy.
All time curly

The Filling Station is so special. You are simply not going to find a better biscuit anywhere and the people working there couldn't be sweeter.
