“Yesterday my vehicle somehow locked while the keys were inside of it when my family stopped for a potty and gas break. The 2 women who were working were so accommodating. They allowed my family to borrow their cell phone to contact a locksmith multiple times and offered to buy my family drinks since it was so hot out and out wallets/phones were also inside the vehicle . I believe the woman's name was Carol. I couldn't have asked for a more accommodating situation given the circumstances. SHE NEEDS A RAISE! ?”

“Can't say enough good things about Bear Point. They gave us a slip on same afternoon notice and had a diesel mechanic there the next morning to repair a genset issue. Dinner at OSO was great and the facilities are well maintained and very clean. Kudos to Craig and company for keeping our delivery on schedule and providing outstanding hospitality.”

“This gas station is surprisingly great! It’s clean and well-maintained, and there’s a wide variety of food options I wouldn’t have noticed unless I had gone inside. The restrooms were spotless and well-stocked, which is always a plus. The staff were incredibly friendly—especially the woman who helped me. I didn’t need to buy anything, but I did need cash back. She pointed out an inexpensive item I could grab to get the cash back without overspending, which I really appreciated. Overall, a fantastic experience!”

“After looking EVERYWHERE for the special edition of Newsweek for Mad Men's premiere, I found two copies here. Seriously, I went to news stands and bookstores and NEITHER had this magazine, but Walgreen's did. This has sealed the deal on my patronage FOR LIFE.”

“I don’t normally take time out to write a review but for this Shell location, located in the middle of Foley beach express, I had to take time! The ladies in the kitchen rock it every day selling out of their home cooked lunch specials by 12:30 daily with big smiles on their faces! Friendly staff goes above and beyond and shows you what true southern hospitality is! Bathrooms are clean. I have a huge variety items for sale, and I would highly recommend them with five stars you should drop by on your way to the beach!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
