“Welp, that's a first. I've had gas station sushi before (terrible), but I've never had gas station crawfish (amazing!!) I've eaten my fair share of crawfish over the years, and I have to say Tech Drive is among the VERY BEST. Don't let the gas station fool you, this is truly an amazing spot. The pics speak for themselves. Got the 1/2 lb shrimp and 3 lb shrimp combo with sausage. They offer mild and hot....mild was perfect for me. Shrimp peeled easily, potatoes were tender and tasty, crawfish were huge! Sat in the parking lot and ate it all. This isnt the place for ambiance or dine-in, it's basically to-go. Stop here during your travels, you WON'T be disappointed!”

“I literally wasn’t even a customer. I hit the curb, pulling into PJs and the guys paused opening the garage so that they could help pull me out and literally saved my entire day. Will absolutely be a lifetime customer now, So many people drove by and I didn’t even have to come ask him he just came up with a chain and started helping. So extremely forever grateful because I absolutely was panicked”

“These morning ladies are 95% of the time smiling, happy to help and they're restrooms are the cleanest public ones in town. My favorite part though are their $0.99 fountain drinks that can have flavors auto added!!”

“I just ran in to get some gas and some ponytails (we’ve been moving and we couldn’t find where I packed mine for the life of me) The sweetest lady informed me they don’t sell ponytails and rang me up. As I’m pumping my gas she comes out with 3 ponytails that she had taken out of her car for me. She went above and beyond what she’s hired to do. She showed me such kindness and didn’t even know me! She definitely deserves a raise and appreciation. I didn’t catch her name but if you see this please know I appreciate you so much for that! (The 3rd ponytail is in my hair currently)”

“Was easy to get in and out . But at certain times you are waiting to check out which can be a During shopping the traffic is a little hectic but I'm a quick shopper unlike my husband he has to read every label, so mostly I shop alone. Most of the employees are nice and helpful if needed. But there is always one in a mood and ignore you.”

“My son wanted an after school snack and wanted an Coke Icee, so we stopped at U-Pak-IT because it was close to his school. You would think all Icee's taste the same, but apparently not because he said it was much better than the last one he had at another gas station.”

“best gas stations I've ever been to. Not only are the pumps clean and well-maintained, but the real surprise is the food — absolutely delicious! Whether you're grabbing a quick snack or a full meal, the options are fresh, flavorful, and way better than you'd expect from a gas station. The staff is friendly and efficient, the restrooms are spotless, and the overall atmosphere feels welcoming and safe. It's become my go-to stop for fueling up both my car and myself. Highly recommend!”

“Without a doubt the best TA Express I’ve been to anywhere in the country. The store is relatively new so of course it looks nice. But the best part is that the staff was friendly and everyone had a smile at some point while I was inside. I got the best turkey leg I’ve ever had at a TA location. It was cooked and tender all the way through and seasoned just right. At most locations the turkey legs look cooked but start to get tough and chewy just under the surface. I’m glad I found this location and I plan to return as often as I can.”

“Love it been shopping here for years prices are always decent and the staff are always nice but weirdly only when it's one of the middle eastern people or a white person (more specifically a girl) most of the black people that have worked here were seemingly annoyed every time”

“There is no place called Big Bucks. Big Bucks had been gone for years. This is YAK's Produce. That's why there are pictures of fresh produce instead of gasoline pumps selling high- priced fuel.”

“Gas food drink ice cream smoking accessories man how about i make A list of what they don’t have that would be easier lol don’t forget to try the Cajun Café next-door”

“They have jumbo fresh shrimp for 5.95 a pound and I bought 4 lbs. And they were great. I never thought about buying shrimp to eat at a convenient store but it was great and super fresh. I will definitely be buying shrimp there again.”

“I’d say 9/10 overall but rated 5 stars because 4 would be too low.PROS: Service (very friendly even at 5am), coffee and drinks always available, Sip and Save program saves me a decent amount each month on coffee. Restroom is usually clean enough.CONS: location is inconvenient if you’re headed South on 167. I have a trailer 99% of the time and it’s a small lot. I usually park at Super 1 and then walk over to get my coffee.”

“I have always loved buying all my gas here and all employees have been very friendly make u want to come back. But here lately there has been an African American female who wears glasses that is rude cant greet u when u walk in. I paid for my gas w my debit card my car didn't hold it all. I went back in to get my money she refuse to give me the cash said I would receive a credit on debit card. Really no other gas stations does this. I don't like to give my money to rude people. So as long as that lady is there im giving my business... to were im made feel like im appreciated. Somepeople just should not work w the public as cashier they just don't know how to have southern hospitality. It's not hard to smile and speak. This is the south...we r know 4 our southern hospitality.”

“It was a nice little gas station that helped me find what I needed and they're pretty nice so be sure to stop by if you ever need to fuel up in the greater Ruston area”

It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains.
