“Most of the negative reviews preceding mine are for the oil company side of A.E. Robinson, and if someone is writing a review about oil delivery, etc., you know it has got to be for a bad experience. But my interactions with this location are always as a convenience store/deli counter, so here it is.We had previously tried two places for pizza since moving to Dexter: with one we weren't crazy about the crust, and the second was better but they have staffing issues so we never knew if we would be able to order. Then we tried pizza here and it was remarkably better than the other places. The staff has always been great, and, except for one day when fifteen people were in line to throw their money away on a billion dollar lottery drawing, the service hasn't been slow (and that day we were only scoping the place out anyway).Otherwise, they have all the usual trappings and products of your average convenience store, with the usual benefits and pockets of high prices. The pictures give an idea.So who knew this would turn out to be our go-to spot for pizza, and sometime I will try other offerings such as burgers and fries. As a side note, I believe the hours listed are for the oil company side of things, and that the convenience store has your standard crack of dawn to late-night hours.”

“Good service and good people. You can pay at the pump if you don't want to go in.You'd be missing out on some good coffee though. One of few places that still have "Jamaican me crazy" coffee. Have relatively descent fast food stuff. Healthier choices.”

“This gas station was super clean! Everything was nicely stocked and spaced out so it is easy to navigate. THEY HAD SEAT COVERS IN THE BATHROOM! I've been doing a huge 50 hour road trip and almost every place hasn't had seat covers. So I wanted to point that out. The bathrooms were also very clean and smelled pleasant!”

It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average.
