“The employees are always nice, friendly and ready to help. They open on time every morning and sometimes early. They are very fast. If there is a small line, you won't wait long. You are in and out in a flash. The Volcano Burrito is so tasty and hits the spot whether you are camping, nursing a hangover or just really hungry. They've recently expanded on the inside and have just about all the necessities for "roughing it". Most likely, they will have what you need without having a huge inventory. My family and I are regulars to this gas station and have been for several years. I bought my first dog as a puppy in their parking lot. I recently had to let him go due to being the old age of 16. This station is dear to us.”

“This is a convenience/gas station...... Not a restaurant 😂 However, they do make their own slices of pizza and other hot foods, fresh and ready to go. 😋”
