LD's Filling Station

I will go back based on the honest apology the owner gave us. She was sorry our meals took so long and thanked us for our patience. It was very kind and unnecessary since they’re clearly going through that growing pains of re-opening.
Walking in we were pleasantly surprised on how great the restaurant looked. They floors are beautiful and the wall decor is charming.
Most importantly the food and customer service were great.
Thank you LD’ s for coming back! I’m happy that this local business returned back to the community and is rebounding so beautifully.

What a HUGE improvement, in every way, since the fire! Absolutely go! Our Waitress, Vicki, was so nice, friendly, efficient... The HOT food was on our table in MAYBE 8 minutes, tops. WAY-TO-GO, LD's, for bouncing back after arson!👏💯

Great place to eat. Friendly staff and fast service. Give it a try if you haven't already.

LD’s Filling Station is the perfect place if you are wanting simple food that is real and tastes good. For example, I ordered 2 fried eggs, 4 strips of bacon, and 4 slices of toast so I could make sandwiches. The eggs were real eggs, not egg substitute. The bacon was thick cut, tasty, and cooked nearly perfect. The glass of milk was ice cold and the toast was toasted perfectly. My bill was $8.45 with tax.

On the weekends they have a buffet for $8.95 but, it does get somewhat busy. From my experience, they do a nice job keeping the buffet full and clean.

The grounds are clean, though the parking lot is a pothole haven. So, drive carefully. The interior can seem somewhat dirty and lives up to the reputation of being a DIVE.

Overall, the food is real, the food is tasty, and the staff are genuine. If you want REAL FOOD for a cheap price, this is the place.

Phenomenal! A warm welcome from the host; prompt hello from our server; amazingly fresh, delicious food from the kitchen staff; a check-in from our server to see how everything tasted and coffee replenishment! LD's is clean with tons of charm. Might head back today!

First time back there after their fire. Place looked amazing. Food was good and waitresses were real nice!

Awesome food as always ! Service was great and was super nice to my granddaughter

LD's in my opinion is one of the best places to eat in Mason City! Family owned and fabulous food! Couldn't ask for much more. 😊

So surprised by this little retro eatery...an old gas station turned into cafe! They name all their entrees after cars! So unique!! The decor inside added to the ambience, along with original brick & mortar!

Ok this may sound crazy but this one the best breakfast I've ever had. I had a philly steak omelette and it was legit like a cheesy great philly steak inside of an omelette. Everyone with me loved their food. Prices were great too. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm near ClearLake, Mason City WHEREVER in Iowa lol
