“Awesome place. They have Non Ethanol gas, which is cool. Plenty of beer and spirits. Most important the food :). They have awesome chicken. They heat up the biscuits for ya. The fried mushrooms are awesome. I'll have to try liver and gizzards sometime, these you have to order they don't make them and have em ready... guessing lower demand.”

“Reasonably priced gasoline. A bit of a bummer that it's not possible to combine Kroger point from the prior and current month to make full value of points earned. Do note that the gas station is on the opposite side of the street from the Kroger food store.”

“The people that work here are awesome!!! Anytime I go in when they are even moderately busy there's a huge slow moving line. Mainly due to the fact that corporate can't justify another cashier...makes the staff over worked and frustrated. And it's frustrating from the disgruntled customers I see. If you wanna be in business then take care of your employees and make sure all the bases are covered.”

“High staff turnover but overall a good gas station. Public restroom and handicap accessible parking and entrance but the restroom is not really to handicap accessible”
