“I LOVE the cheese house I go there very often to get a coke and mayo sub their sandwiches are absolutely amazing and the service is also very good. Sometimes there’s a way but it’s usually for about a couple seconds in. The employees are very nice and the place is very well kept clean. It’s one of my favorite Coke shops that I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to a lot and the prices are in that bad too like they’re for a coke. It’s only $1.68 for a large Coke.”

“I come every morning before work and they have the best pizzas in the zone, and the cook not only cooks good, she's cute as heck too ??, she's always wearing clear gloves when making the food. The white cashier with blonde hair always says good morning or replies to your good morning and she always looks happy.Pdta: I went to the other Casey's nearby one time but it was horrible because they put too much lime/ lemon to the flour and the pizza is sour as heck, that's why I recommend you to come here unless you are obsessed with lemon/ limes.”
