THE OLE BILOXI
FILLIN’ STATION
story and photos by Julian Brunt
You know the old adage that if you want to eat well, you have to eat where the locals go? If you agree with that sentiment, then you best jump in your car and head to the Ole Biloxi Fillin’ Station. This place has been packing in the locals, and tourists in the know, for years now.
The Fillin’ Station has a $8.95 all-day special on weekdays that is popular, but on Wednesday, the special never changes. One of the cooks told me that if he didn’t make the hamburger steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, with a vegetable side on Wednesday, he’d get run out of town. I’ve had that special,
and it is amazingly good and satisfying. It would be hard to think of a better comfort food, and for just $8.95, how can you go wrong?
The menu at the Fillin’ Station is not huge, but it is well balanced and no matter what you are in the mood for, you’re bound to find something that hits the spot. If you are like me, and are fond of several small plates instead of one large entrée, the appetizer selection is going to ring your bell. Look under “Tune Ups,” a clever way to describe this part of the menu, and you’ll find some pretty amazing choices. One of the best sellers, and it is hardly a small
