“Tech Drive Crawfish has consistently been known to serve one of the best bugs in the area. This trip I asked for 3 pounds, half mild and half spicy. The bugs were delicious, the potatoes were so soft it felt like eating ice cream.”
“Great authentic Mexican food cooked fresh at a good price. The folks who work here are very nice.
The baleadas and tacos are delicious. If you're hungry, get the carnitas plate.”
“Very nice store, the employees are very kind and helpful. Their prices are a little more than the others, but you will find some items a lot cheaper. To me, the extra cost is worth it!! It's fast, everything is easy to locate, and the employees are respectful.”
“Place is open till 7 pm on a Saturday. I get there 10 minutes prior and some younger guy working there doesn’t open the doors and turns the lights off, yet I am trying to come in and spend money on specific road trip snacks before heading out. Another lady there said she was rushed at 6:30 pm with employee saying “ we close in less than ten minutes so I hope you know why you want , and better get it quickly”
What a gong show. I will be finding a better spot to get my specialty items, even if I have to order online elsewhere.
Update:
The owner has handled this tremendously and I am grateful for him reaching out to make this right. This place has a high quality selection of specialty foods, and the owner and most of the staff are always super helpful.”
“The customer service is great and the price are fair. I like how it's an old school grocery store where you have someone checking you out and you don't have to do it yourself.”
“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.”
“I prefer shopping here over the other "dollar stores" because they are always nice to me! The employees are doing their jobs and are not on their cell phones or mouthing off about their personal business. With everything going on in the USA, they have remained friendly and helpful. The store is much cleaner than the others.”
“Visited here on Thursday afternoon, Nov 14, 2024. Normal hours are 1pm to 5pm M-F, depending on the students' schedule. But, the next two weeks, week of Nov 18 and week of Nov 25 the hours will be 3pm to 5 pm M-F. Then they will return to normal hours the week of Dec 2, 2024. It is better to exit off California Street onto Hull Street, but you can also turn onto Reese with its potholes. Then immediately turn onto Clark where their Sales Room is located. It's in a white building with a greenhouse semi-attached. They had a smaller selection of beef than what I had hoped for, but I bought a chuck roast and a sirloin roast, so I was happy. I'm sure the selection varies as to when they bring a steer to market weight and have it butchered. Prices are close to what you will find in the grocery store. However, it is locally raised beef on the school's farm, so does not go to the feedlot like commercial beef does. To me it is better beef plus it helps support their program. Disappointed they did not have any of their smoked hams yet, but the clerk said those usually are ready as it gets close to Christmas. They also have flower plants, herb plants, and some vegetable plants for sale. Currently, being end of the season now in November, plants are 50% off. I bought a sage plant for 75 cents. Plants in a 4 inch pot are $2.25.”
“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.”
“This Walmart is convenient to get gas and a small assortment of things, The entrance of the store feels too crowded walking in, Also within the past week I have noticed some out of date sales items that are no longer on sale, I only know by scanning them through the app, I do feel as a patron they need to have their parking lot cleaned..just consider this is the entrance to many employees jobs and customers who see this often before they head in, someone in charge should consider maintenance/renovation”

“Very convenient for students, especially those who may not have a car as it is within walking distance. Very polite and friendly people there, especially Ashanti, his attitude and friendly demeanor is above and beyond anything I’d expect!”
“Walmart needs to stop moving the merchandise around so much. It makes a 20 minute shop take almost 30-45 minutes. Also, stock in certain areas needs improvement. Front end staff can be improved.”
“Pretty good grocery store. Fresh produce, bakery, frozen products and a variety of things you can find at a super market.
The store is big, produce prices are a bit higher than Walmart but this place offers a better shopping experience.”
