“It's nice to have a place to take metal to get recycled they also take other medals the guy was real nice and unloaded for me it was so hot and he did not even complain thank you”

“Usually very kind staff but have had a few experiences where the employees are cussing even if kids are around. Not a huge deal to me but others seemed uncomfortable. One time an employee reminded me when I left $300 sitting on the counter after pulling it out of the ATM (pregnancy brain oops), so I really appreciated her and her integrity. This week there were only XL cups out at one time. Food is usually good but have had them mess our order up a few times. Overall not a bad place, I do like Kwik Stars food better and hope Casey's gets more variety eventually.”

“Good little Casey’s! 2 pump station(so 4 gas pumps in total) and a little small. I came during lunch hour on a week day and was a bit disappointed in the availability of the hot food, but for the size of the town, it was definitely adequate! The staff were super kind and quick to help, and the store looked clean and maintained. Good place to stop if needed.”

“I just want to give a shout-out to the people in the kitchen! Even when they are slammed with orders, they make each customer feel individual and heard. Plus the pizza is always good!”
