“Very good food! Great little place to stop while taking scenic highway 98. It may be a gas station, but I was impressed with the breakfast. They made the breakfast biscuits to order - you could tell them how much you did or didn’t want. The chicken tenders were excellent - just as good as Foosackleys or Zaxby’s. The order of gravy on the side was generous and yummy. And did I mention that there is booth seating right next to the windows so you can relax inside and keep your eye on your car the whole time? Good job owners! Travelers, stop if you can!”
