The Iconic Filling Station Cafe in Old Towne Orange serves hearty and delicious Classic American dishes. There’s indoor seating and a colorful, relaxing outdoor patio as well. Love the great aesthetics and that they’re pet-friendly. Wonderful customer service from David! What we tried: Sirloin Steak & Eggs (MUST-TRY) Belgian Waffle Breakfast with 2 eggs with 2 bacon (crispy on the outside and fluffy inside) Tuna Salad Sandwich (Albacore tuna) This was the BEST Tuna Salad Sandwich I’ve had at a restaurant!! Loved EVERY bite!! 🧅The Onion Rings were so crispy! Fish Tacos (fully loaded) Rose Matcha Latte (MUST-TRY) This is my new favorite Brunch spot in the OC!!

A no frills diner with friendly staff and huge portions. A lot of the dishes were almost 20 bucks so it's not cheap but as the name suggests... it's huge portions so you'll be filled up for sure. They do charge a split fee if you and someone share an entree soo.... be prepared for some to go boxes. Filler station burger: Maybe get? It was a decent burger but was kind of dry and needed more sauce. Patty was cooked well though. Fries were nice and fluffy and seasoned well. Country fried steak: Maybe get? The steak with the gravy was yummy and comforting. The hash was soggy... Everything else was also just okay. PSL: Get! If it's the season, this was an amazing latte. A warm, well balanced latte that'll bring you joy on a brisk morning. It was a touch too sweet but still very enjoyable

Chose this place based on reviews and google street maps. Expect a short wait, service is quick. Food on the other hand is rather boring. Menu is complicated. My bacon was rock hard and cold. Pancakes were ok. Eggs were moist. Fruit was rubbish. Service was great but what really bothered me was the 18% gratuity on parties of 6… and it still asked for a tip after the fact. Yeahhh idk about that. Also our table was chipped and can be a hazard for kids.

Brunch with 4 people was great. There was about a 20 min. wait at 10:00 AM on Sunday morning by 11 there was a long wait for others. The food was very good and priced reasonably, given the inflated times. About $16 for most plates. The service was efficiently executed. The atmosphere was antique gas station ⛽️ stuff inside and college town patio stuff outside. Suggest parking in lot off of Main Street as street parking may take a while.

Found this place because my gps re routed me past it. Their outside patio was busy but not over crowded so decided to go in for some breakfast. The Nutella Banana French toast got my attention and it did not disappoint.

Got vegetarian sausage links but there was a piece of bacon attached and my friend found a hair in her sandwich.

I have been coming to this place for years and are so grateful that it is here. Always greeted with a warm smile at the door. And my server Sammy brings me the best breakfast burrito on the planet and is always there to top off my diet Coke.

Food was great and service was good. Big portions and good value. I got the breakfast burrito and would dine again!

I Stan the filling station! The vibes are everything you want for a brunch spot. The outdoor seating area is so cute and the inside is quaint and cozy. The chilaquiles are amazing!!! I love trying new dishes but honestly the next time I come I'll prob order it again lmao. Always gotta order a sweet dish for the table and their pancakes, esp their speciality ones, are fluffy, moist, and just divine. It can be a long wait during the weekend, but go head and put ya name on the list and walk around the block and get ya appetite up!

This is in a great location and has indoor and outdoor seating. However: the coffee is gross (too strong/not nearly hot enough), and the service leaves something to be desired. With so many breakfast places to choose from, I'd give this a pass.

We need to come back here more often! We came on a Tuesday around 12pm and were sat right away. We sat inside as most people did because of the heavy wind. Our sever was very polite and we got our food pretty fast. I got the eggs Benedict and hash browns which were delicious, my cousin got the machaca and eggs, and my boyfriend got the buffalo chicken salad (not on the website but still on the menu). Most tables have a nice view of at least a few of the Old Town Orange buildings which I think give it a cute, trendy, cozy vibe.

First time visit and I am blown away!! Cute little spot, very lively, inside and outside seating, excellent service, to die for food. We ordered the 1/2 soup and sandwich (chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese) and the croissant sandwich. The soup with grilled cheese was the most comforting meal on a nice chilly day. I also ordered a hot tea for added comfort! The servers and employees were all on top of it, working quickly and efficiently. We sat at the bar top and were able to see so many different meals coming out of the kitchen, all of them looked amazing. We can't wait to come back and try more!!

Average breakfast spot. Ordered the steak & eggs as well as the pancake breakfast--it was all exactly what I'd expect from a diner style breakfast place. Nothing was bad, but nothing to really rave about either. We asked for medium well for the steak, but it came out more of a medium rare to medium. The place was very crowded at 11am on the Friday after Christmas, but luckily there was only a 15 min wait for our party of 4. Parking was a nightmare, as downtown orange was pretty packed in general.

This place is a very cute brunch spot. I came here with my friend on a Friday afternoon and had a lovely time we were seated quickly at the patio area. This place is also dog friendly and brought water for our dog. The patio area has plenty of shade. For food, I got a French dip sandwich, which was delicious. The roll was soft and the meat to bread ratio was very generous. Each sandwich comes with a side of fries, fruit, or salad. My friend got the veggie sandwich and the grilled veggies were great but lacked seasoning. The sweet potato fries were crispy and soft on the inside. Their ranch was good too.

This place is such a great little venue. One of my favorite things is the heated tables. Definitely need to get one myself. We sat on the patio, which was clean and well shaded. The hostess was very pleasant. Our waiter was having an off day it seemed; he appeared unhappy to be there and was forgetful of some things. The food was pretty good. I asked for my steak to be medium rare and it came out well done, so that was unfortunate, but everything else was perfectly cooked and flavorful.

My first time here, I went with my coworkers for breakfast and had a great time. This time, we were in town and took the family out to brunch. How cute is an old gas station converted into a restaurant? The wait time was about 20-30 minutes. We let our kids walk around town while we waited in front. When it was our turn, we were ready to be seated. Our server seemed preoccupied because it was very busy. We got our foot but there was a wait for my son and his gf's food because we ordered breakfast and they ordered lunch. Nevertheless, our son finished before the rest of us! This place is good for groups but be prepared to wait for your table. Food is served fairly quickly upon ordering. They are dog friendly but there is a "dog etiquette" sign before you enter (obviously not their first rodeo). Parking is a challenge in Orange, but there is a parking lot down the street, off street parking and a parking garage a few blocks away.

It was my boyfriend's first time to the Orange Circle and what better way to show him around then having breakfast at the Filling Station! We sat outside and were able to watch as all the antique cars drove into the circle (he's really into cars). It wasn't too loud given all that was going on around. The server was decent, she took our order and came by enough to make sure we were okay. My boyfriend ordered the seasonal chilaquiles with pulled pork and he absolutely raved about them! I got the strawberry Belgian waffle combo with scrambled eggs and sub the meat out for hashbrowns. I do like the waffles here over the pancakes, the waffles always consistently come out perfect every time.

Gems... yeah, I know. California is filled with them. And Old Town Orange is certainly one of them. So where does one eat an early breakfast? The Filling Station of course. When I fly solo at these joints, I prefer sitting at the counter. It's a small one here, but they have a lot of booths and tables (indoor and outdoor), so no worries. I had the country fried steak and eggs with potatoes and wheat toast. It was really good. The atmosphere is very pleasant and staff is very friendly. GO HERE!

Hyewon K.

Yelp
About a 20 minute wait on a Wednesday afternoon. The chilaquiles with pulled pork were flavorful and easily shareable. The breakfast burrito doesn't come with meat and costs $3 to add meat. It was very filling but not mindblowing. Service was pleasant but slow. Overall left satisfied.

Super quick service and good food. We stopped here the last morning of our trip, on our way to the airport, and we were in and out which was perfect for us. The staff was friendly and we were immediately seated.

This café was packed on a Sunday at 1 pm! They don't take reservations but we were still seated pretty quickly for a table of two! The filling station burger with heart patty, Swiss cheese, bacon, and avocado definitely lived up to expectations! They also had fun holiday themed mimosas with edible glitter and a candy cane in the glass! Service was phenomenal and the waitress checked up on us several times throughout the meal and was very accommodating to meal and drink requests!

Huge portion of food! You will walk out super full. The waffles are super fluffy. The coffee is okay. The space was very big and the workers were very kind and helpful!

I wanted to love my visit here because I have heard great things, but I honestly wasn't impressed with my food. I had the breakfast quesadilla. In theory, it sounded great because I love quesadillas. However, there really was not much cheese in it at all. That meant it was falling apart and the tortilla was incredibly hard. It would have made more sense to have had a breakfast burrito and it would probably had been much easier to eat too. Just felt what I had really had no real resemblance to actually being a quesadilla, besides the "exterior" look of it. Add more cheese, please... I won't give up on this place since others like it. But I will definitely pick something else next time.

Yelp
We came here after a long day of thrifting, so we were extra hungry lol. There was a very short wait for a table, only 10 minutes! We were seated outside which was nice, we got to enjoy the nice weather. We each had burgers, I got a regular cheeseburger and my girlfriend had the filling station special. They were both sooooo good!! I'm not sure what you call this style of French fry, but it's my favorite and they were delicious. The food was a 10/10 for sure !! Their fountain drinks and Arnold Palmer were not very good hahaha but it didn't affect the meal at all. I would definitely return :)

We've been noticing this spot for a while & finally had time to take the kids here for breakfast after Santa pictures. The wait wasn't so bad for a table of 4. There's outside seating & inside seating. The hostess asked what we would preferred and we said whatever is first available since kids were hungry and we just would like to be seated and get going as soon as we can. Took about 20 mins and we got seated inside at a booth. The booth was a bit snug but we managed. It was small inside and probably had about 4 booths & a few counter spots for individuals dining alone. It felt a bit hectic inside and outside with the space they had. Once seated, we looked over the menu and waited about 5-10 mins before a waiter came by and took our order. The kids menu came with crayons and a small squishy which was a nice surprise. We didn't realized there was kids menu until after we ordered. Could've gotten smaller portions for my daughter if we noticed but that's ok. For drinks, we ordered the holiday mimosa and coffee for our drinks and the kids had chocolate milk & a strawberry lemonade. The holiday mimosa wasn't impressive when it arrived. It had diced green apples and cranberries inside along with edible glitter inside the champagne. Wish there was some sort of orange juice added to it...definitely would not order again. For the food we got the Eggs Florentine, which comes with a choice side of potatoes or hash-browns. I went with the potatoes. There were 4 huge slices of bacon with it. It was really tasty and eggs were cooked perfectly! My husband got the 2 eggs (over easy), 2 bacon & 2 sausage combo. It comes with toast & a side of potatoes or hash-browns. He got the hash-browns. My son got bacons, eggs (scramble) and potatoes. He wasn't a fan of the potatoes because it was seasoned and probably was just too much for his palate, but it was good potatoes for my husband and I. My daughter got 1 pancakes and a side of bacon. There was 4 slice of bacon for the side so she really enjoyed it. The pancake was fluffy and nice too but big for a little girl her size and she only ate half. Also the presentation of food looks thrown together & not so pretty but at least it's tasty. lol The only thing we didn't like was having to try to get someone for our check...it took almost 10 mins to try to wave someone down. They took our order, brought our drinks and basically just left us to eat when the food came out and didn't come back after. So it was hard trying to get our check when we were ready to leave since everyone is basically just running around. I understand they're busy but it would be nice to be checked on once in a while during the meal so they can know if we're ready to leave and give us our check without having to hunt someone down for it. When we finally waved someone down, that was the only time we were asked how everything was. We honestly all enjoyed our meal and were stuffed by the time we got our check. When our waiter finally found time and came by, he gave us another check but we told him we have one and are ready to pay and that seem to throw him off since he wasn't sure how we got the check. Overall, we like small businesses like this but it seems too hectic with everyone running around. Not sure when we'll come back but we'll definitely try it again to see if it's a place we'll continue to go to for breakfast with the kids.

There is something to be said about The Filling Station, and that something is that it is good. Very good actually. My party and I came in on a Sunday morning and it took around 45 minutes for us to get seated. Not that surprising considering the timing of our arrival. But it's situated at The Circle in Orange so there's lots of places to walk around in and kill time. The establishment is on the smaller end regarding its size, so it should be no surprise that it can get busy and loud. You might be seated closely next to other people as well. I ordered the Matcha Green Tea and Sirloin Steak and Eggs. Party shared the churro french toast. Couldn't have asked for a better breakfast combo. The Matcha Green Tea was really smooth with the right amount of sweetness. I had to restrain myself from drinking all of it before the food came in. Sirloin Steak and Eggs lived up to the restaurant's name as it filled up my station, if you know what I mean. By that I mean I felt very full after eating it. The serving was generous enough for me to pack some to eat for later, and I say that as someone who is able to eat an entire slightly-less-than-average-forearm sized burrito in one sitting. If there's one thing that I recommend from this place, it's the churro French Toast. The crunch, the taste, the cinnamon. You'd think I was promoting some kind of cereal brand with a mascot that cannot understand why kids would love the aforementioned cereal, but I'm not! It really is that good! My only regret was sharing the French Toast with others. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Pros: Large portions, flavorful food, good menu selections and great service. Cons: Mostly outdoor seating (can be uncomfortable when it's too hot or rainy) and only ONE bathroom for the entire restaurant. We dropped in on a Friday morning for breakfast, and we were not disappointed. I ordered the popeye omelet and my husband had the nutella french toast. Both portions were equally large. The Popeye omelet was really really good, but the potatoes it came with were a little salty and greasy for my liking. You also get a really, really large serving of the potatoes. The Nutella French toast combo was perfect. The outdoor seating has plenty of shade, but it can still get kinda uncomfortable. They have seating inside, but it's very limited. Service was fantastic. The staff was constantly checking in on us. Overall, it was a good first time visit.

Vanessa T.

Yelp
Service was okay our hostess just sat us down and left before we could ask for highchair for my son. The waiters were awesome and were really fast and quick with having our food and drinks out. The outside seating was very nice the umbrellas with different colors were very cute and it was pretty calm. The food was great we really enjoyed our dishes overall a pleasant experience.

I get why this place is always busy on weekends. The food was amazing! Service was friendly. I went on a Saturday morning right before 11am. The wait wasn't too bad, 15 mins! We got lucky, because it started getting busier past 11. Breakfast burrito was delicious! Get the one with chorizo. Both orange and pomegranate mimosas were good too, highly recommend! Next time, I would like to try sitting at one of the tables with a fire pit in the middle.

Rudy M.

Yelp
My girlfriend and I went here for breakfast in the morning. We really like the way it was laid out. The fact that it had indoor seating with eclectic decorations and ambience. The outdoor had many umbrellas and particularly were reset a giant tree with lights all over it. Getting to breakfast, we had a chorizo scramble and chicken, fried steak and eggs, and shared a cornmeal pancake. The chicken fried steak was OK. The chorizo scramble had potatoes that weren't totally great. The cornmeal pancake was unbelievably delicious. I will definitely have another plate like that in the future. The service was really good and the atmosphere around near the town was really nice on a Sunday. We will definitely be trying new dishes in the future and can't wait to bring our friends to check it out with us again.

Look at these. WE have a picture perfect!! The cook sure knows how to please us. The eggs were very fresh and so did the harsh brown.

Audrey K.

The food is always exactly what we expect and a little bit more. It's filling, hearty and homey. I'd like to say it's good diner food without the grease and with a new, fresh presentation. The eggs florentine's hollandaise sauce wasn't bland at all. There was a lot of bacon and it was thick pieces. The potato's weren't bland either and it went so well with the leftover sauce. I'd say definitely try coming here, putting down a name, and going to walk around to the stores so that it goes by quickly. Service is great from start to finish and ambiance is nice and fresh as well.

My boyfriend and i love breakfast spots! We have always wanted to come here but never beat the wait. Today we got up and out early! We got here at 830Am and was seated right away by the time we left there was already a wait. The environment + service was good! Super cute patio! I got the veggie sausage and eggs! Wasn't a fan of the veggie sausage but everything else was delicious. My boyfriend's got the sausage and bacon omelet! He said he was surprised with how much meat the gave him! The place was yummy but I'm keeping it on 3 stars because it's hard to judge a breakfast place based off eggs hashbrowns! Next time i def want to try something different.

Super cute brunch spot. Tried it for the first time today, and as expected super busy on a Saturday morning. Although it was busy, we only waited about 30 minutes. The hostess quoted 25-30 for a party of 3 and she was on point. We were seated inside, super small inside, only about 5 tables, most of their tables are outside in the cute patio area. We were greeted immediately by our server and we ordered right away since we knew what we wanted. We ordered steak and eggs, Swiss and spinach omelette, one pancake and a side of sausage. My husband ordered a Bloody Mary. He enjoyed it. My omelette was tasty, and everything else was good too. The food came out pretty fast. Service was great, but the buss boys were hustling. Super impressed with their very hard working bussing staff. We must have had at least two of them come by and ask us if everything was ok. They were also on it, with removing any unnecessary items. Their bussing staff is top notch and a key element to their quick turnaround of tables. Great breakfast spot in the way cute downtown orange.

My family and I tried dining in today, but sadly we weren't able to be seated. Which is disappointing as we really enjoyed this place. We had been waiting for more than 40 minutes & it wasn't busy at all! Other customers came asked for a table & we're seated right away! They could have help us find a solution when I went up to them to ask how much long, when the 30 minutes they said we'd be waiting had past. It seemed like they didn't really cared which is sad, as we we're just trying to have a nice birthday brunch for my sister! they should work on communicating the wait time better with customers!

I love the quaint ambience of this place. It is a true repurposed gas station. Pair that with excellent food. Great breakfast selections, good salads and sandwiches. Delicious coffee and they really know how to make a good cup of tea. Take it from me. I'm a Canadian! The overhead music fits the era of the original gas station. Rock and roll baby.

I'll be back! Located in old town Orange, this is definitely a go to spot for brunch. Arrived on a Sunday to a packed house at 130. After waiting for 5-10 minutes we were sat on the patio. Plenty of outdoor seating. All tables were in the shade except for my seat (LOL). With the sun beating down on my back, it didn't take away from the very quick and attentive service. Ordered the chicken fried steak with hash browns, eggs and English muffin. All of it was delicious. Their menu is extensive covering both breakfast and lunch. The portions were large and I couldn't finish it all. Go!

Becky B.

Yelp
Nice location in a cute downtown area. Great breakfast selection and had a variety of drinks. The sparkling wine says brut but it was sweet. It made the dole whip mimosa (sparkling wine and pineapple juice) very sweet. A large number of the outdoor tables are firepits so it keeps it warm on a cold day. Service was quick and portions were good. The sausage in the omelet was delicious!

Selina B.

Yelp
Food is always DELICIOUS! We shared veggie sandwich & Eggplant sandwich. We could not choose 1 sandwich which was better! Service was great, worth the wait at check in, as well as the busman( constantly checking refills) . I even tipped him! My FAV Resteraunt to meet up with girlfriends. From Long Beach & Fountain valley.

Kellie F.

Yelp
If this spot is anything, it's consistent. I've maybe gone off my regular club sandwich a handful of times. There's something so simple about a club sandwich. Maybe it brings me back to Watsons in the circle. Swapped out the French fries for their always large side salad and side of ranch. This place is an amazing place to take in the circle, have a quiet lunch with a friend and have a nice meal. My 4/5 star rating came from the rush we felt from the start from our waiter. The place was not full for lunch on a Wednesday, and it was only two of us.

Shaeli Z.

Service was a little slow. Rarely came to check on us even though they walked over to tables closer to us a couple times. Lots of options in the menu. Big portions and it's a cute lunch spot. Most seating outdoors, cute aesthetic

Vennesa R.

We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The wait was 20-25 mminutes on a Saturday which is expected. My brother & I both had the special, Pork chilaquiles. We both enjoyed it. Service was on point & everyone was friendly.

Amazing food and great service. I wish they were open for dinner. They could get someone out in the party playing guitar!

They're doing diner classics right! You might have to wait for a table but once you're seated service is quick. Even during the never ending chaos, the wait staff always has a smile on their face. Never disappointed when I've stopped in for either breakfast or lunch. Their fries and ranch are heaven! It's so neat seeing all the old pictures on the wall from back when Orange was just a little farming town. Although it's grown The Filling Station still captures that small town charm.

I had over med eggs, cooked to perfection, bacon and hash browns. Pomegranate Mimosa. Great ambiance.

Jazmine G.

Yelp
I really enjoy the ambience, the environment felt so warm and I had a great customer service experience. I was seated right away and my order was taken and delivered promptly. They were playing "Come on let's go little darlin' " by Ritchie Valens and similar songs to that, great music! It felt like a 50s diner seats and tables. My food was scrumptious, I ordered an avocado toast with chai tea spiced latte, oof!!!

Jennifer F.

Yelp
I really liked this place for breakfast! We checked ourselves in when we got there and it was only a 30 min wait which was not too bad considering the place was packed and there was quite a few people already waiting. They have benches on the outside for you to sit while you wait as well. The food was really good. I ordered the buttermilk pancake breakfast and everything was so yummy! We had our dogs with us and we were able to get outside seating for them to hang out.

Wendy C.

Yelp
I came with a big group for brunch and it took awhile to get seated. The wait was about an hour or longer and we were not seated until the last 30 minutes before closing time. I got to try the dole whip mimosa and egg benedict. The dole whip mimosa was ok, it mainly tasted like whip cream with regular mimosa. The egg benedict was a bit disppointing since the egg was overcooked. Overall, the food and service was ok, I would go somewhere else for brunch.

It was my second time dining at this location. To my surprise, there was no wait time. Our host greeted us and sat us down quickly in the outdoor area. The outdoor area had a lot of shade, plants, and a water fountain. It wasn't too crowded and noisy.  I ordered a Rose Matcha Latte, and it was good. I tried eating and chewing the rose petals, but I just couldn't. Perhaps if the rose petals were a bit smaller (blended) and sprinkled around, maybe I would have consumed them. I tried their chilaquiles verdes with pulled pork (carnitas) and egg whites. I thought they were good too, compared to other places. My mother ordered the steak omelet with country potatoes. She said the potatoes were good, but the steak lacked flavor. She did enjoy her cornbread pancake. The tiramisu French toast was delicious. My brother tried their egg Benedict's, and he loved them. I would love to come back and try their lunch items. Happy Brunch!

I ordered delivery from here and was sadly disappointed. First off they forgot my drink. Secondly, the omelette I ordered didn't come together. It looked more like scrambled eggs with all the ingredients surrounding it. Thirdly I ordered well done hash browns but received barely done hash browns. And lastly, to top it all off, my pancakes had a hair in it. Absolutely disgusting

Food so good 10/10 generous serving size, two people could share Lattes 10/10 so good and look how cute the little rose petals are Service 10/10 Ambiance 12/10 it was really nice to sit outside next to the birds in the trees. There were like at least five different kinds of birds!! So peaceful and relaxing. My only complaint is there is only one restroom and it was occupied the whole time!!!!

This place is located in a super cute town in Orange. The hostess was super friendly and accommodating. The service was great and the food was delicious. The scrambled egg croissant was a little bland but nothing a little salt and pepper could t fix. The croissant was really soft and the side of potatoes is so delicious. It also had onions and peppers mixed in. My friend and I really enjoyed this place. I will definitely be back and to try other dishes .
