“Off the beaten path 5 minutes from I-10 in Vinton, Louisiana by the Texas border. Small unassuming store with a kitchen that serves plate lunches and crawfish when in season. I was heading down to Lake Charles, LA for work and was told I should stop by and try the crawfish. My coworker and I decided to make the drive from Lakes Charles (roughly 20-25 minutes) for the boiled crawfish ($6.99/lb at the moment). We were not let down. The crawfish was cooked perfectly. Just the right amount of seasoning without it being too salty. Looks like a small family operation so crawfish are cooked in small batches. I like that because it's less of a chance of the crawfish being overcooked like big restaurants. The tail meat slid right out of the shell without breaking apart. My coworker and I finished 3 lbs each with a corn and potato. Saw a couple of people ordering burgers and other plate lunches while we were eating there so it got us interested. We decided to order the shrimp fried rice with salt and pepper chicken wings to go. When I got back to my hotel later the chicken wings were still crispy even after an hour. I will be coming back, hopefully during crawfish season, if I'm ever leaving Texas into Louisiana or vice versa.Sorry I didn't have a picture of the crawfish. My hands had crawfish juice all on them ?”

“Very reasonable prices. There gas is always cheaper than any one of the stores within 2 -3 miles. They've also put in a driveway and pumps just for 18 wheelers.”

“The best place I could have had a car emergency at!My tire ripped apart on the highway and thankfully I was able to safely exit and drive to this gas station to check out the damage. While I was trying to see exactly what I was dealing with, Marylan (owner or manager I believe) came outside to see if I needed help, examined my tire and advised me not to take the chance driving it to a tire shop because it was 17 miles away. I thought I would be able to change the tire on my own, but after a nice gentleman saw me stressed, he tired to help and it turned out the jack I had was too big to fit under the front of my car. Marylan came back outside to check on me and started calling her friends to see if anyone had a low jack and could help out. Luckily for me a big strong man named Marcus frequents the store and he literally held the frame above the wheel and lifted my car so I could put my big jack in place. He took the time to change my tire and of course lift the car back up so we could remove the jack. I was in the process of moving and had my tiny car packed with the last of my stuff from electronics to toilet plungers, so I was annoyed and worried about having to unload my stuff onto the ground around the car to access the spare tire. My worries about being in an unknown place and not feeling safe were eased by the friendliness and helpfulness of the employee, Marylan, the big strong man, Marcus, and the others who stopped and tried to help. I will be making it a point to stop here for my gas station needs as I cross over the state line from Texas into Louisiana in the future! Cheers and thank you to everyone!!”

“Come get fresh BOUDAIN here! Also our drive thru is FREE!! I felt truly safe here, where bikers are required to remove their helmets. Not like down the way at the Exxon. I saw a biker in there with his helmet on muttering something about dingos. I'm scared of dingos because maybe the dingos ate your baby. Like the dude in the helmet was drooling all over this box of jumbo crayons he was trying to shoplift.”
