“Visiting Family this week when severe weather hit the area. Without power and wind damage everywhere. Casey’s was open. Very busy. And a God send. My wife went for breakfast food and coffee. As she was unfamiliar with the menu and location of and wide variety of coffee options, a staff member took the time assisting her. The breakfast burrito was fantastic. The breakfast bowl was delicious. The coffee was a saving Grace for a bad situation. Thank you to your staff for all the assistance. It is/was appreciated…”

“This is a mixed review. I really love the store and the crew that runs it. My service dog (Xena) loves them too especially the hotdogs. ? A few years ago they where going to get rid of my favorite drink. I had a great talk with Lisa. She worked really hard and was able to get it back for me. Now the tough love. A few months ago they got rid of the French toast sandwich. I have not bought a sandwich since. Not a fan of the toasted sandwich they replaced it with. Love the place and the people. ?”

You can get a fountain drink we’re which is what I did with my reusable 30oz cup. I got a Dr Pepper Refill for 99 cents (1.06 with taxes).
