“Great customer service . You can find everything for your local daily need on very reasonable prrices. Now management installed new gas pump that work great.”
“This BP is adjacent to a number of businesses within the area, making it a good jumping point whether walking in the parking lot, driving down the street, or going toward the highway. The outside is well maintained, the gas is reasonably priced, and it offers a reasonable selection of snacks.”
“NEW,management, this place is making changes,,,colder drinks, better and fresh items now. The new owner is really great and will accommodate you if there is something ya need if they don't have The item you desire. ?”
“Everyone is so nice!!! I have not had one bad experience with the employees in the decades of going to the store. They really do treat you like family. The selection is great, even with pizza and wings.”

“There is currently power in Nashville GA and I had 15 miles left in my car. This was the 2nd gas station I tried calling in Adel and the first one that an actual human answered the phone to tell me they did have power. I drove over here to fill up. Nice touch screens also.”
“All the clerks are super nice if there’s something that you would like but not available just ask and he he’ll try to find the cheapest deal on it. Has a hometown feeling.”
“The BigFoot Travel Center is ok, it really needs to be cleaned up a little inside. The bathrooms really need some help, the whole store is in need of a major overhaul… the cafe is nice and the pizza and chicken offerings are always fresh and great tasting! Parking lot is dirt for the most part!”
“Great customer service. This is the store that I regularly buy my vapes from. They have a variety of vapes to choose from and get new flavors in regularly. There is a huge collection of souvenirs to browse through including shirts, unique beautiful nicknacks, children's toys, wine glasses, and shot glasses to name a few. They also have fresh Peanut Patch peanuts and hand dipped ice cream. There is a motel located next door that is owned by the same management as this store.”
“Quick & Easy to fill up and if you want a side of deer corn with your gasoline they offer an automatic self fill deer Corn (by the buckets or 55gal drum). First time I have seen a deer corn machine at a gasoline station...”
“When on a road trip you want to stop someplace that is safe, not too expensive, you hope it's clean and the staff is friendly. Well, this place ticks all those boxes. The prices are fair with the surrounding stations, plus, if you have a rewards account with Shell you can always save a few more cents. The store is well stocked with all sorts of food & snack items for sure, but there is a wide variety of other things if you are interested and/or need something for the car, trip, safety item, etc. The bathrooms are clean and well attended to. I believe it was the owner of the store that was working when we stopped in and he was so nice and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed...and wished us well. Kindness sure does go a long way... It is located in sort of an odd spot once you get off the highway, but just follow the signs and/or your GPS if you have it on. At first, we were put out by the location, but it's definitely a safe area and you don't have to worry about any riff-raff. I would definitely stop here again when passing through the area and we have decided to remember this place when traveling through this area in the future...but that's easier said than done!”
