“In a world(full of no) where you've been left with one debit card that just wouldn't work at 2 am and you've been to 4 gas stations and you are running on fumes there's only one kind soul out there that spotted me some cash so I could get home. Annie is so awesome and of course I paid her back and weeks later I'm saying thank you. Identity compromise is what I call it anyway has given me so much grief and it's also a gift that very few people won't ever understand completely. There are a few other awesome people that work here that put up with some janky payment method during the day but still treated me like I was a normal good customer. Go out of your way and pay a few more cents if you have to shop/buy here. Real service and much more convenient and easier in and out than Pilot.”

“Whatever you do, do not park your vehicle along the right side of the property for any amount of time - thats the side farthest from Wendy's. My husband and I once parked our vehicle here for a few hours and a rodent came up and unto our vehicle's hood and ate at the engine wires to the point the vehicle wouldn't run. Otherwise this is a safe and welcoming place (aside from one cashier recently...who was just a complete grumpy-puss.)”

“Very fast, great location, right before the 10fwy. Gorgeous scenery, a bit of Mad Max experience when the winds are high, omg it was blowing me away, literally . I cannot describe the beautiful sunsets I have seen and how healing for the eyes and soul it is to experience the majestic powerful force of nature driving thru Yucca Valley! Great spot to fill up on food and gas also! They have the gas station, next to ot, in the same lot, a Del Taco! Across the street a whole shopping center with Wendy's, and on thhe other side, Jack In The Box. What else can one need before heading wherever you are going! Just watch for thise winds, omg!”
