“It's in downtown Calico between Dollar General and Harp's it's a gas station and it sells cold drinks you can get hot food here you can also order pizza here also they have snacks and other things you can either get food to go or you can eat it there the staff are always very friendly and polite. It's a nice place to grab a cold drink or get something to go. I tend to go there whenever I'm in town. It's always neat and clean always well stocked.”

“Always nice location to stop at. Food is decent and the employees are always nice. It would be a 5 star if their pumps were functioning properly.(keypad not working, etc). but other than that decent spot to make a pit stop.”

“My experience is we need a lot more stations in this town that are up to date. Considering you can't get gas after closing even though the gas pumps will take a debit card can't do it after closing why I don't know and we don't even have a car wash either no more in this town so that's my experience. I mean got all the new gas pumps but will not install whatever it takes so we can use them at night when they're closed nor wash your car since they won't fix the car wash”
