“I come here for a bacon cheeseburger every week; get one and youll see why. It blows all fast food places away, compared to the 2 strips of bacon at other places they literally put a minimum of 10 slices, thick patties and a WAY more affordable price. Always been fresh, never got stale or hard parts; its amazing they can deliver such a meal.”
157 Higuera St, San Luis Obispo CA 93401
“Among the lowest per gallon prices in the area with a pump or two usually open on the busiest days. The right turn in from higuera can be abrupt so look out for full pumps as you pull in. Friendly enough staff and service, but I haven't been in much. They have a lot more than you think crammed in that tiny shop if you need food or drink!”

“This awesome, local, little gas station, is located downtown, across from Sunken Gardens. Marv's gives that small town feel. With every purchase of gas, you get free coffee or soda. It's always very clean. Always great pricing. They also allow you to go over $100 for gas! Shop Local! *Only downside, there are only 4 pumps*”

“A well run card lock station. Bring you cardlock card and get the best price on fuel, usually. You will have to trust them as they post no prices and prices can change daily as the petroleum market price changes in either direction. Daytime when JB Dewar is open they also sell a full line of lubricants and automotive chemicals as well as PROPANE, biodiesel, and LNG.”

We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I just can't imagine a scenario where I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut.”

“When we arrived I saw a sign saying because of health concerns/virus that the restrooms were closed. I turned to go back to the car and a man I assume was the owner came running out to tell me the security code for the restrooms. He said, “It’s Mother’s Day! How could I turn you away? Mothers are welcome here!” I was so grateful to him. Our son had been in a car accident and was in the ER a few blocks away. Of course we couldn’t go in and I was pretty frazzled. I will never forget his kindness.”

“Look, this place is dope. They have everything! Need a corndog? They got it. Need some jalapeño poppers? No problem. Need a whole a** fried chicken dinner or some bbq sandwiches? They got you covered. Get some gasoline to facilitate driving for life's errands, and they have a disgusting portable toilet where you can take the least pleasant s*** of your life.”
6930 Morro Rd, Atascadero CA 93422
“Everything you need for your road trip. Take advantage of the $1.00 specials from the deli... Unlike many places that just throw away their access sandwiches, this store actually sells them for a dollar when they have been in the warmer too long...nice deal and they taste just peachy. A nice staff of workers here.”

“What great customer service at this gas station! As I was walking in Samantha held open the door for me. I was running to try and be quick and she said no take your time you're in heels. Very sweet. Then when I got to the register Cathy helped me and showed me the $.10 off card they have for customers, wonderful friendly service from both of them I will be back!! Ironically, with that $.10 off card. I changed my mind and instead of getting $80 of gas I got 150 due to the discount. Thank you again!”

“The restrooms are well maintained for customers. Gas is 24 hours a day, store closes at 11 pm for end of day change over and then reopens 20 minutes later. Stays open until 2am and then closes for two hours to clean, stock and fix the store. If you've visited, you know my catch phrase, I'll end this here. Thank you for you visit and may you have a champion day.”
