The Durham Filling Station 617 Hicks Street, Durham, NC 27705

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"Absolutely LOVED the Junkyard Dog! Just the perfect pile of garbage pilled on top of a great spicy dog. Service was solid and the outdoor shaded seating area was nice. These are the kind of spots that there certainly aren't enough of anymore."
