“This little gas station out performs many restaurants in Tuscaloosa. Their breakfast is superb. The biscuits are fluffy and delicious. They have a full breakfast offering eggs, bacon, sausage, fried bologna, chicken, wings, gravy, grits and more. I’ve stopped in for years and never been disappointed. The staff is very kind and always agreeable to special requests. If you are in the area, give them a try-you will not be disappointed.”

“Easy on and off. Just a small gas station off the interstate. Of course, the pump was out of paper so didn't get a receipt. Seems to be a problem with a lot of fuel stations. Can't comment on the inside as didn't go into the store. Just stopped for fuel. It was a nice feeling watching a bunch of guys hang out eating breakfast before starting the day. Something you don't really see anymore! Not one of them had their noise in their cell phones. They were having actual friend interactions!”

“Laura is the real MVP. We arrived at the Shell gas station in a.hurry with a flat tire. It was late after a long day of work in Tuscaloosa and we really didn't know how to change a tire and then came Laura, the cashier/handy woman/angel lady to the rescue. She took pity on the two unskilled Frenchmen and helped us out big time! It was done in a New York minute or dare I say in a Tuscaloosa minute. Merci Laura ! Whatever they are paying you at Shell, it's not enough! ??❤️?. Yves and Pascal.”
