Customer Reviews

Pretty good diner with pretty good prices. The waitress was friendly and quick with our orders, food and topping off our coffee. Overall, the eggs were a teeny bit runny, only some of the toast was buttered and the home fries were a bit dry. I?d definitely go back and I look forward to trying it again

We?ve been here three times and it has not disappointed! The servings are fantastic for the price and the atmosphere is quaint where you can tell that a lot of locals hang out. The sourdough bread is amazing!

Hidden Hershey Gem, best value and quality of breakfast ! The ladies on the counters are gems. My husband is still saying the food was better than the Hershey hotel.

Great food! Good prices and really great staff. Pancakes are huge and the wraps were great. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a quick bite. Not the best for big parties over 6. There are booths and bar seats available.

If you're looking for a good local diner in the Palmyra area, this is it! I met up with a friend who lives this place and it lived up to the hype. I enjoyed the meat lovers omelet and grabbed a dozen donuts on the way out. The omelet was delicious! A generous size and pricing especially considering egg prices these days. The donuts were spot on as well (freshly baked that day!). Also, the staff was FANTASTIC! Very friendly and prompt. The overall experience has a friendly mom-and-pop, small-town feel to it.

This is a true Pennsylvania diner experience. I had a local favorite? Chipped beef gravy over home fries and toast. (the colloquial name would be censored ;-). The kids got massive pancakes served hot, and fresh. Everyone left full and happy.

Great little local restaurant! Very polite people! One of those few left old school Gem places! We were really surprised with the prices and quality of food! Would definitely recommend!

We arrived around 1:00 and the restaurant was packed. Service was a bit slow, but once our food arrived, it was worth the wait! The menu is large, there are lots of daily specials, and breakfast is served all day! The restaurant was still pretty full when we left. I had homemade mac&cheese and stewed tomatoes, and portion was huge! I highly recommend The Filing Station!

Food was very good. Prices were amazing! I haven?t seen prices like that in a long time. Food came out quickly. The ladies were hustling! But they were friendly and very attentive! The group I was with come to this place every year when in town before the Dutchman tournament.

The best food ever! Family vibes, the people are very welcoming and warm. I highly recommend it to everyone who visits the area. The donuts re fresh and so good. ??

Great home cooked food. The meatloaf roll was delicious. The peanut butter pie was rich and creamy. The grilled apple fritter was amazing. The service was fast and attentive. Strongly suggest eating here.

Breakfast is always great .They make fluffy omelets! The service is friendly and efficient because even though they are very busy they help each other. Atmosphere is typical homey cafe.

Worst service I ever had in my life. I called to place a pick up order, and arrived in 15 minutes as I was told to. The ladies had me standing up front for 15 minutes waiting to pick up my food that been sitting on the counter for awhile. My toast was missing, my food was cold, and gross. The lady tried to take my remaining $1.50 as a tip with out even asking. I will never return to the philling station again nor will I ever recommend this place. If your looking for a good breakfast place go anywhere else i

What great place, fresh home donuts too.

The best breakfast in Lebanon County for the price. This place gives you huge portions that don't slack on taste. They are extremely affordable and my family can usually eat here for under $30. The staff is amazing even when it's crazy busy, which is almost all of the time. Would recommend to anyone that is hungry or on a budget.

Great local diner. Limited parking area matches the max capacity of this place. 1 handicap parking space, I believe. Tables are small. 2 adults sit comfortably. The diner is very clean and employees are all friendly. The donuts are the best around. Breakfast is always served hot. My favorite breakfast place in the Hershey, Palmyra and Annville area. Giving 4 stars because they can't make the biscuit and gravy right. I tried it 2 times thinking the first time they cooked it wrong, tried it again a week later

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. We stopped in for lunch. We were seated promptly and serviced immediately. I ordered the Fish and Cheese Wrap with chips. The fish was really tasty and the wrap a nice size. Definitely would recommend the Fridge and Cheese Wrap. Two at our table ordered the quesadilla and commented it was very good. Served with sour cream and salsa. I think every table was occupied which is a testament to the service and food.

The waffle with sausage gravy was AMAZING. Sadly noticed the flavored pancakes after I ordered, but that just means I'll have to return one day.

The girls serving us was very friendly. I git the rubin it was huge. Wife got hotvroast beef and mashed potatoes. She said it was fantastic.

I went there because it was recommended to me by the folks at Maguire Ford's Collision Center. Since they have never steered me wrong yet I thought I'd give it a try. The place is DANGEROUS but I passed the first hurdle... The donut gallery!!! It's there to capture the weak and the greedy and also test your lack of self control... Then on to hurdle #2 the menu. I said I passed the first hurdle I didn't say I was a low fat plate... So I ordered the Belgian waffle and of course you have to have fruit here's

?? Food was excellent, service was superb & friendly, & prices were great! Our waitress was really patient while we decided on what to order. She answered all the questions we had, and kept checking on us to see how things were & if we needed anything else. Evidently their donuts are really good too as by 3/3:30pm they were all out. Luckily our waitress was nice enough to check if they had any fritters left, which they had just one. The pictures are of their delicious apple fritter dessert. Can't beat the

meatloaf, fried chicken, chicken Alfredo were all awsome. Portions were huge, enough for 2 meals. staff very friendly. must try

I never been here even though I drive through this part of town.... Meet up with a friend for supper. She tells me how great the food is... So we meet.. I liked my salad. However, I only wish they served breakfast all day so I could tried their omlettes... Which sound/read amazing.... So I will have to come by before 2pm to sample the breakfast ?? menu another time ? Came back for breakfast today! Yum got the Santa fe fluffy and my friend got the cheeseburger omlettes - fluffy..... Both were great.... Grea

My kids & I enjoyed a delicious breakfast while visiting from out of town. The Honkey Eggs (pictured) were fantastic and enough to serve about 3 people. The baked oatmeal was really good and not something I've seen on a menu before. My kids loved the house made donuts, they came in really interesting flavors like peanut butter filled with chocolate on top. And the price was really reasonable.

Good home cooking! I would recommend this place if you are ever in the area. The waitresses are so nice and your food comes out fast. I would give this place 6 stars if I could. Make sure you get some doughnuts to take home on your way out??

Small family dinner/donut shop. We stopped for breakfast while passing thru. The food was great, had the Sweet potato pancakes. You need to seat yourself either at the counter or the booths. Staff is friendly and helpful.

The menue choices the food and the service was all exceptional. First time there. I was so impressed.

This is one of our favorite places to eat. The food is always amazing, the service is perfection. The fresh made donuts are always amazing big hit! The prices are also great and affordable for a family. Our one and only complaint is the booth sizes. I won't deny that my husband and I could drop some pounds, but even my much thinner daughter and tiny granddaughter were squashed into their side, fighting for space. I know diners want to squeeze as many folks in as they can, but whew - these booths are made fo

The best donut I ever had, coconut custard filled with icing and coconut on top. Breakfast was good too, lots of locals. Get there early or miss out on your donuts.

An amazing family business, always with a smile on there face, food is incredible! Everything my family and I have ordered comes out to be so delicious. Stop by whenever you can.

The food was very good, the prices are very reasonable, and the service was great! Can totally recommend this place!

Got the country fried steak with eggs. Omg it was so good. One of the better country fried steaks I had in PA and part of it had to do with the sweet but savory gravy. It was such a good deal and can't beat the price! Left this place fatter and happy about it.

Great donuts! One of the best around! Good assortment with various toppings

The server was very helpful and food delivery was quick and delicious.

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere! Go and have a great timee.

Great family-owned restaurant / diner with very good food for great prices. Owners are very friendly. They have a tent set up in the parking lot to accommodate current circumstances regarding COVID-19. Highly recommended.

Wonderful small business that serves a breakfast that did not disappoint. The French toast, omletts, and egg sandwichs were all delicious. Make sure to take a donut home with you... the toasted coconut was our favorite.

Nice little local place. Fresh scratch donuts made on premise. Great service. Full menu. Recommended.

Breakfast was awsome as usual! Nothing like a grilled cinnamon roll? The wait staff is awesome here. The filling Station is a must if your in the area! Just good food!

I always love coming to this restaurant. You are always greeted with a friendly smile. There is a mother/daughter duo that work there, always such a pleasure always very happy jumps through hoops to please everyone. It makes our visit even more special every time we see her. The entire weight staff is awesome. We have never received any food that we were not happy with everything is very good that we ordered.

Delicious breakfast!!! The staff was very friendly, and attentive! Really had that old time feeling. Was a little crowded. Will definitely be back again!

Local favorite, great service good food, solid prices. Not fancy, just your local spot. Plus best donuts in town!!

Great place to eat where the staff remembers your orders and favorites after a few times there. Gets busy so check out the chart for peak times. Nice size menu and reasonable prices. Good parking now with expanded lot in the rear.

Went there to celebrate our friends bday ??.I ordered sausage gravy over 2 biscuits and scrambled eggs .. when ny order came.. biig portion. It was so good. Then order a coconut pie ?? wow. Enjoyed my visit. I will return ??

Ate breakfast here and it was delicious. For a treat I had the grilled cinnamon roll, yummy, it was good. It's a dinner type restaurant. The girls working behind the counter are really nice and keep up with you. They also sell donuts, good ones.

Palmyra, PA has a local eatery doing comfort food right in The Filling Station. Go hungry as the portions are immense and tasty. Best Liver and Inions since Mom cooked them. Kids happy and donuts togo made everyone smile.

Awesome family diner with great service!! Be sure to ask Carla how she feels about scrapple... and meat pudding. ;-) seriously - my son and I enjoyed a great breakfast between hockey games!

Questioning WHY I have never been here before! The food is excellent and the restaurant itself is ALWAYS busy, which should definitely mean something. I really enjoyed the Fresh Strawberry Waffle that was topped with whipped cream and my Fiance loved the Meatlovers Omelette. It was huge! Great portions, breakfast selections, and price!

Great food, great price, great service. Hometown feel and comfortable atmosphere. I enjoyed it. Thank you.

Food delicious.... chef salad perfect... Ruben sandwich great... can't find one thing to complain about

Small but worth the wait. Grilled cinnamon bun is to die for! Farmhouse was really good, the sausage gravy was not the boring out of the can kind. Pancakes were good with a little bit of a crunch.

We like to find locally owned places to eat while traveling and this one did not disappoint. We had Down on the Farm (sausage gravy, biscuit, sausage, eggs) and the Honkey Eggs (eggs, lots of potatoes, ham, onions, peppers and toast). The coffee was great and refilled often. Service was fast with friendly servers. We knew this was a local favorite because the servers knew their customers by name. Bring your appetite because portions are generous. All this for only $21.52!!

Got chicken and waffles special. It came out as a gravy which was unexpected but it was amazing. Service was very friendly and homely. This was my 2nd time here in a year - might be a new favorite ??

Great food at a good price. Lots of options and specials and donuts! Love this place for dinner.

Tasty, heaping portions of no frills attached food. Everything tastes like grandmas cooking and their homemade donuts are the best. Love this place, try to eat here at least once a week. Their breakfast is my favorite in town.

Great food, super friendly staff! Will be returning!

We stop by here on our way out of Hershey and had a great meal. I got the club sandwich with chips and everything was delicious. The turkey was perfect, they added extra mayo like I asked, the bacon was perfectly cooked, and the swiss cheese was excellent on it. Everyone love their meal!

first visit at the filing station, and I must say I?m so excited for the next visit. The self seating, cozy, everybody knows everybody atmosphere is honestly refreshing. Speaking of, we had a server named Alicia who honestly set the entire tone for our visit. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. See you guys real soon.

This is a perfect example of what a diner should be! We sat at the counter and interacted with the regulars. It's a very popular place and we enjoyed everything about it! The servings were delicious and huge..the home made donuts sell out quickly, so get there early....

This is the place for delicious breakfast! We stopped in one morning and it was really busy but we were seated quickly. The staff was really friendly and got our food out faster than we expected. If they have any donuts left when you walk in, you better snatch them up because they get sold out fast!

This place was SO busy, the 11 of us had to wait for 3 separate tables, but it didn't matter! 2 woman served the whole dining area with the help of a busser. They did a fabulous job. You definitely did not feel like the 50-75 or so other people were hindering the quality of service. Once we sat down, the service was shockingly pleasant and perfectly timed. The food came out fast, was hot and delicious! I ordered a broccoli, onion and cheddar omelet.

Everyone here is soo nice!! All the customers and the workers are sweethearts i loved going here so much and there food was soo yummy and also very cheap this was such a awesome experience definitely would go here again

My friend and I come to Hershey every fall for the big AACA meet. We eat lunch and dinner in various places, but we eat breakfast here every time. I have never eaten breakfast at a better place. The food is great and the service is fantastic. None better. This place along with the AACA meet is the highlight of our trip. The ladies who run the place are awesome. I look forward to eating there again next fall.

Good food, fast service and reasonable prices. Donuts are great too!

If you want to have a Mom and Pop kind of place. Look no further. The omelettes are awesome the service is one of a kind that Is hard to find now days. If you want a doughnut there or to go. Get them early.

This place has the potential to be amazing but sadly it isn't. The line wasn't defined waiting for a table and waitstaff didn't help with making that clear also no signage for it. As a first visit, this was confusing. My husband got the chipped.beef breakfast over toast and hashbrowns and I got tbr daily breakfast combo. His: chipped beef gravy was more like a thick paste and the chipped "beef" was more like thinly sliced ham. Mine: the eggs were cooked fine but the sausage links were ice cold and the to

The staff, the environment, the entire atmosphere is forever wonderful at the filling station!!! Great prices and A+ quality and quantity of food!! Make sure to go hungry because you're gonna leave FULL!!! THEY FILL YOU UP AT THE FILLING STATION!!!

My son and I stopped by here randomly while passing through Palmyra. We couldn't have picked a better spot for breakfast. The service was amazing, the people were nice, and the food was great. Next time we're in town we will be sure to come back!

Awesome place to get donuts as well as breakfast not to mention the coffee! We liked this diner definitely a gem . Great to go where the locals go for sure!

Waitresses couldn't have been nicer, good food, very reasonably priced!

Best breakfast I've had in a long time!

It's a small diner with awesome staff and great food. We have been there for dinner and food was great, we recently went for breakfast and they were packed! The waitress was still managing her roles and taking orders and checking out customers while being in a pretty stressful situation and we loved the professionalism in her. She was still very nice with everyone!

I never leave reviews, but I have to for this place. I?m not from here and was looking for a cozy place to eat some good breakfast. I?m so glad I came here. The loveliest staff (daughter, mother, grandmother), they knew every body that was there as if they were family. The place was so cozy and I felt right at home. The food was amazing, amazing prices, and their donuts are outstanding. Very hefty! Cannot wait to come back and visit! Thank you all for making me feel welcome.

Food is good for diner food. The cinnamon rolls have me all day. They have a large size and a small size. I always get the big size. They have amazing freshly made donuts that?s sell out everyday. Many many different flavors and of course the original flavors. The ladies are super nice and the place is packed everyday. You wait till a table is empty and grab it right away, even if it?s dirty. First come first table. lol. Have to make it a stop.

My brother suggested this place and I'm glad we listened to him!! It was busy and crowded but the food was absolutely amazing and the wait staff was incredible!

Awesome old school diner with amazing food tastes so fresh!!!! Even better if you're eating there for breakfast however!!! Definitely try the donuts!!!! Sweetest staff as well ????? we eat there regularly

It is a small cafe with terrific food and good service. We ate lunch. Luckily, it wasn't crowded when we arrived a little past noon. It appeared most patrons were regulars. The Meat Lovers omelet I had was perfect. One of my party has difficulty walking. The staff and customers were very accommodating and patient. Highly recommend it

All dirty tables on arrival. My French toast was good. Wife's crabcake Benedict was undercooked. Don't know why people can't ever cook poached eggs right. White was runny. Crab cakes were good though.

First time here. Brother recommended, as he and friends go often. Incredibly friendly, family owned. Portions are bigger than the moon.

very hometown vibe. intimate setting, staff that makes you feel like you're at home. excellent food with great portions and prices. best restaurant experience we have had in awhile

Great food, super fast service and nicely decorated. A stop worth while anytime in the area. Good job!

Very busy standing g room only until you can swipe a table

Usually I don't have anything bad to say about The Filling Station as a matter of fact they make the best donuts cream filled donuts and everything, but this time they were terrible all the powdered cream filled had no cream in it all chocolate-covered cream filled a little spot of cream. We called them and told them right away of course we brought back all of the donuts, all that they offered us was our money back you would have thought they would have said Monday morning come in will give you a new set an

Clean friendly dining place. Had a large breakfast and waitress went out of her way to make sure our meal was perfect.

We stopped in for breakfast and ordered the breakfast combo with scrapple. The scrapple was deep fried to a crunchy outside crust, it was very good. Hadn't had it cooked like that in while. Everything was very good.All the servers were very happy and courteous. On the way out we got some fresh donuts, they are delicious. It had a hometown feeling when all the regulars came in and were known by their first name. We'll be stopping in again when in the area.

I've been going here for years and whether I bring an old friend or someone from out of town, this place is always a hit! Super busy, great prices and great food! Go every chance I can get and they serve breakfast till 2pm! Favorite breakfast ever! Sitting at the breakfast bar is perfect

Nice little diner. Great food. There are a lot of choices. Can't go wrong with the biscuits and gravy. Superb.

We come to Hershey once a year and I'm happy to say that we finally found our new breakfast spot. They have ample parking and we were able to get seated right away on Sunday morning. It seems like a lot of locals like to eat in, we noticed multiple tables recognizing each other and talking before their food came in. Food came out hot and quick, and for the first time in forever I finally found perfect coffee temperature. It's that good! The decor is also very interesting. It's a shame I was so full after b
