“It's always so clean at this has station. I happened upon it about a month ago. Didn't know it was there and I pass it all the time. Well I'm glad I did. The staff is mostly very nice and greet you with a smile. Not all but some. Plus the gas usual matched Cosco prices. So if you miss Costco, this is your best bet.”

“Always stop at this station on the way to the Central Coast. Lot less busy than getting off on the main exit at Buellton and trying to getting gas at any of the stations on the main drag. Bathrooms are decent and gas prices are ok.”

“Tom's gas is our go to station in Buellton when we are on the road going or coming from LA. It's always priced right and has a good location right off the freeway. Nice icy cold drinks and good selection of snacks.”
188 E Hwy 246, Buellton CA 93427
“We've stopped here a lot on trips to LA. Fair fuel prices, though higher than the nearby convserv, plenty of room at the pumps and a well oriented sun shade for hot days. The cashier was always super chill and the bathroom is easily accessible inside with no keypad or keys, or anything like that. The bathroom has always ranged from totally serviceable to remarkably clean. Good pit stop and a really fast pull on, pull off location to the 101.”

“This write up is merely a way to provide both the owner/manager of this station & its customers with some information & not a review about the station itself. I tried reaching out to the station multiple times but never heard back. I was fueling up on pump 6 about 2 months ago and noticed electrical wires with an electrical connection sticking out of the keyboard area. It looked extremely suspicious to me so I took these photos. I live in the Valley but haven’t been back to this particular station since to see if this has been addressed. Again this is not a critique of the station itself just a means to pass the message on to others in hopes that it gets resolved.”

“I usually don’t write reviews for gas stations however, this place was awesome. Young man offer to clean the windows we have charge. The gas overall it’s in competitive prices. No complaints. I was passing by Santa Ynes.”
990 Edison St, Santa Ynez CA 93460
“Nice gas station. A huge plus for me is that they sell menthol cigarettes - American spirit green and dark green, camel crush silver and silver smooth, and menthol Marlboros. Since the gas station is on tribal lands, they don’t have to follow state regulations on tobacco. Definitely worth stopping by if you smoke or need some good snacks.”
90 E Hwy 246, Buellton CA 93427
“There's a pump at this station that's been beeping intermittently for at least a week now. I'm beginning to suspect that it has gained sentience and is crying out in morse code.”
197 E Hwy 246, Buellton CA 93427
“YES, there are restrooms! Not sure why so many of these reviews are wrong about that. Bathroom wasn’t super clean, but fine for a gas station. Attendant was extremely friendly and gas was cheap.”
206 E Hwy 246, Buellton CA 93427
“The staff is absolutely amazing, love talking with them, and very hard workers. Bathrooms are always clean and the service is always amazing. I've been here at nighttime and day time and they always give the best service!”
