What User doesn't like about The Filling Station:
service was poor, could not hear the waiter speak. we ordered our appetizers, which took about 30 minutes to be served, then we waited around and 1 hour before we got our main courses. think they need to check how many bookings they have before they start in more tables. there was not enough staff for the amount of people who were in the building with a meal kerry roddie has View all feedback.

Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh, this restaurant offers a spacious and inviting atmosphere, complemented by a friendly staff. Diners may experience a mixed bag when it comes to food — while some rave about the fish and chips and Haggis bites, others find certain dishes to be disappointingly subpar, such as soggy burgers and overly spicy pizzas. Despite occasional service hiccups, many patrons appreciate the quick and accommodating staff. Overall, this venue provides a decent dining experience, particularly for those seeking good vibes and a casual outing with friends, although some diners recommend exploring other options first.
