Love you some burgers? You’ll be crazy about The Filling Station, a funky little burger & beer joint in Miami with character to spare. They turn out an eclectic array of hearty flame-grilled burgers named for hot cars. The Hamborghini festoons your patty with fried genoa salami, provolone cheese and pesto mayo, the Sara’s Super Sport comes with peanut butter – yeah, that’s right, peanut butter –, peppered bacon, red onion, and lettuce and the Malibu Bleu features bleu cheese on a blackened burger. All are served with tater tots or sweet potato fries. Pulled pork sandwiches, barbecue chicken wings, hot dogs, quesadillas, salads, and chili are also on the menu. A great beer selection includes some tasty on-tap micro-brews, as well as a nice array of bottled and canned beers. The Filling Station is open for lunch and dinner Mondays through Saturdays.
