“I go here ever day before work, everybody in there knows me when I come in. Extremely friendly staff, great home made treats and food. Decent selection of Mexican candy too which is always a bonus”
“We were driving from Utah to Washington, and honestly if the cashier here hadn't talked to me about it we'd have been stuck in a major car accident/traffic. There was a 30+ car pileup that we weren't aware of because we were driving (and not listening to the news.) he asked where I was headed and said it would add at least 2hrs to the drive. I updated my maps and the drive went from 2hrs to 4hrs 30 min. It was already 9pm. We ended up staying in Mountain Home instead and got up early to leave the next morning, instead of driving in the awful storm & crash. Gas station was clean, well stocked, bathrooms were fine, employees were polite.”
“These guys are an old Favorite place to gas up, and getting a snack for the road. They are always super friendly, and have great attitudes as well. This little multi -purpose gas station, is a town favorite here in Mountain Home, Idaho. Five stars! Keep up the Great Work guys!!”
“I stop in at least once a week to either get gas or just something to drink. The staff is very friendly most have even started recognizing me when I go in. Many people have said they have possible with the pumps here but I haven't seen anyone have that problem and I personally haven't had any problems. They are the cheaper gas in town. Placed perfectly between town and base.”
“By far the best convenience store experience in Mountain Home! Cashiers are awesome! The manager is a beast! There is nothing they won't do to satisfy the customer's needs. Their rewards program is top notch. The kitchen lady is adorable, and clearly serves food made with love. Every time I go in, I leave with a smile. These people love to have fun at work, and share that with the customers.”
“This place is so unique and the lady that works there is so nice. We have been camping here for as long as I can remember! Nitz' Pine store is cool I love it. And you can find bathrooms ELSEWHERE!”
“The food here is always good. I also usually just go here for sodas but when I get the food always appreciate it. Similar To the Jackson's on airbase road the cashiers are great. However here the manager actually seems competent and well liked. I will always choose here first!!!”
“I approve this Pilot ?? It's clean and it's filled with friendly professional individuals who made my night better by laughing and smiling with me as I came a d went during my reset. I spent money at the shop and the Arby's, the young lady on the night shift was so sweet and even helped me look for snacks I couldn't find. The the Arby's which I'll leave a separate review for was super friendly and clean and served up the best sliders we've had -- ever!! A big win for Arby's I so appreciate the night shift. Coming in this morning ? I saw the Cinnabon ? lady who was diligently baking the entire place into a cinnamon bliss! I guess I was feeling chatty and each employee accommodated that with out loosing hold og the job they were here to do. 2 cheers to whom ever hired the staff at this location, you have created a great team, the only two names I got was Jessica and Esmeralda, they were super sweet, as was the ones I had forgotten to get the names of. Thanks team!!!”
