I have eaten at most likely all of the Mr. Burger locations in Grand Rapids and I always get good hot high-quality food at a decent price, however, there is another restaurant owned by the same people called 'The Filling Station' which is located on Alpine Ave, and it's worth the drive.
The thing that is different about the Filling Station is that it has Mexican Food on its menu along with the usual Mr. Burger type fare. People seem to love their burgers and they are really good and remind folks of the former Mr. Fables Famous Beefburgers.
I had theThree Taco Special for lunch one day and it was tremendous! It came with three tacos filled with meat the cheese and I mean they were filled. Nothing like Taco Bell where you get a centimeter of meat and even less cheese, there Tacos's were worth the money I spent. I have also enjoyed the Grilled Cheese, and the Cheese Burger also.
So if you ever get hungry for a great burger or some Mexican food head north on Alpine, past the bowling alley and keep going until you see the sign that reads "The Filling Station", it's worth it!
I love to eat out, the food just taste better in an eating establishment. Once in a while I come across a new place that I really like, and now I can share it with the world. I like small local restaurants where the prices are decent, and the food is delicious!

G&L Chili Dogs of Holland
Well I have driven past this place a hundred times, never stopped in because I don't like hot dogs, but when I saw their menu online they had plenty of other things to eat that I do enjoy. So one fine afternoon, after taking my daughter to a doctors appointment, we stopped in for a light snack, and ended up eating an early dinner.
I was expecting your average run of the mill fast food place where you order at the counter, pay, and then wait for your food. Not at G&L Greek Chili Dogs, we were ushered to a booth, the waitress took our drink orders, and gave us ample time to decide what we wanted to eat.
They of course have their proprietary hot dogs, and chili dogs, but they have aprox. forty different items on their menu, so everyone can find something they like to eat even if they are like me, and hate hot dogs. Let me just say that yes the hot dogs are skinny little dogs compared to other places, but the reason is that they are all meat, and NO fillers like the other guys dogs. So if you've never tried one of G&L's chili dogs, go try one today!
I had the grilled cheese w/ fries, and my daughter has the chicken strips meal. She could not stop raving about how good the strips were compared to all the fast food chain restaurants she has been too. The grilled cheese was on thick texas toast, buttered and grilled to perfection. On the next two trips I enjoyed the double cheese burger w. just ketchup on it. The burgers are made from high quality fresh ground beef, and served hot and fresh every time.
The waitresses are friendly and helpful, the cook who runs the place likes to talk to the customers, very friendly. The place in clean, and a nice place to eat at a good price. Support local West Michigan based businesses! Try G&L today, they have three restaurants in Muskegon, and one in Holland on Lakewood Blvd.!
* As of recently the Holland location has closed, sorry
