“I stopped here today for lunch. It took me a while to make up my mind, but I finally opted for the tenderloin sandwich. I particularly liked that I could get pickles as topping and could add ketchup and mustard. The employee working the grill today was very helpful. The employees today were professional, hard-working, efficient, and friendly. The store was clean, and parking was ample. I'll most likely return.”

“I like the location of this Casey's and drive by it quite a lot. I like that it's never too busy for me. The cold sandwich items seem just a little better than some of the other local Casey's locations in town. I personally prefer the Chicken, Bacon, Ranch Wrap from this location. The prices seem reasonable to me. Customer service is friendly and professional. The parking is spacious and store is clean. I recommend this location.”

The store was clean, and the parking lot provides plenty of space for parking. They also proudly supply E-85 gasoline, which I appreciate.”
