The owner of the Filling Station, Donny Wachal, had been dealing with symptons of the Coronavirus since March 16th...but didn't test positive until later. The Filling Station made the decision to close, so they could protect their workers and deep clean the restaurant. Now, an announcement on the Filling Station Facebook page has delivered the sad news that Donny passed away.
I can tell you, the Filling Station has been a Manuel family "fave" for several years. My wife and I usually get that giant breaded tenderloin and split it...the kids love it because they can snack on popcorn before the meal comes. And the food is always great! To Donny's family and all of the people associated with The Filling Station in Davenport, our thoughts are with you. RIP Donny...
