“This is hands down the best spot in Biggs. The ownership is incredibly friendly and hardworking. Whenever I needed to stop here on my way to school in Chico, this was my go‑to place—for cold energy drinks, the best hot food I’ve had, and amazing sandwiches. Thank you all for being such a great part of the community and the best in the area!”

“I literally cannot express my gratitude enough for a worker named Cheyenne there! I realized an hour outside of Oroville I had left my phone in the bathroom and she had found it and set it aside! A rare act of kindness in this world and a kind person to boot. The store was clean, the bathroom was clean despite being disrespected by former customers and being tagged. The staff was kind and professional too. Cheyenne deserves a raise!”

“Depending on the cashier they'll charge for ice I don't know if it's based on race or gender but most Arcos do not charge as long as you buy a drink. I usually get charged $1.18 but the guy needed his 70 cents”

“I generally judge a stopping station based more on the cleanliness of their bathrooms, and then by their selection of cooked food, and then the variety of liquids and snacks. This place not only looks clean, but smells clean. Lots of hot food to choose from and a wide variety of other things to purchase. Plenty of parking for those that aren't fueling up. A good stopping point on any journey in my opinion.”
1408 Oro Dam Blvd W, Oroville CA 95965
“Always friendly & usually I'm in and out quickly. There are bathrooms, large drink fountain, and out doors they've radiator water, and air for tires. Which is a big plus anymore. Parking is tight. Not a lot of room. Bob”

“Small store but amazing service. Small family run, but they are great people. The main guy I see is Steve. Always a pleasure to talk to, he’s a tall guy who used to play basketball. Has all the drinks and snacks I could need. Gas prices are great and I like that they don’t charge more to use a card. I like stopping here for the quality of service I can’t get at other stores like Fastrip.”

“Stopped by here to get gas today. The price was a lot better than most other gas stations in the area. However, the area is super sketchy so I would be very cautious. I got many creepy stares.”

“I love that this place is open 24/7. The lady that I talked to yesterday and sold me a tire pressure gauge and turned the air compressor on was super polite and a joy to talk to. I like their milkshake machine, but they need to manage their inventory better because they typically have freezer burn, and you can definitely tell when you taste it. On the rare occasion I get one without freezer burn it’s a good milkshake.”

“Shout out to the best gas station in town. The customer service is by far the best I have ever received!! Nate that works there, has been there for sometime, makes the experience so much more.

You my friend do an amazing job and create a great experience for all your customer. Your small chats with customers brightens our day. Places need more of you and your kindness!!”
