“So far from my native lands, I've struggled with an inability to find real comida Latina in Maine. This store does not check all of my requisite boxes and I was mysteriously unable to find stuff like soft corn tortillas (at Shaws and Hannaford's you are lucky to get some flour tortillas in a plastic bag), but I did find most of everything else I needed. It's a tiny store, but chock full-- everything ranging from your basic Goya or American-Latino products to more exotic imports.”

“Five stars for customer service! Malcolm was helpful and friendly with offering the different washes. Love they free vacuums available. I do wish the wash did a better job of cleaning the wheel wells. I would’ve preferred to use the self serve wash vs. the result I got from the drive through machine.”

“Great selection of food and beverages. The place looks great after the recent remodel! Staff is very friendly and you can tell that the owner really cares about the community. Definitely stop in!”

“This is a small variety store with a very limited selection of products. They only carry one type of dog food.... They have a good selection of beer and hard seltzers. They sell milk and dairy products at reasonable prices. They also have a variety of snacks to choose from. The service was adequate. Overall, their prices were very fair!”

“I would say Moran's meets expectations. It's a small local spot with your typical deli/quick service options. There is some outside seating for when it's nice out. I had the small salami Italian for lunch. It wasn't as loaded with ingredients as I would've expected, but it was tasty and fresh. The bread was really good. I'd order lunch here again for something quick and easy, and I hear the pizza is good, so that's something to try in the future. Maybe I'd take off half a star just because there aren't a ton of choices, but it gets the job done in a pinch.”

“The new face lift has definitely elevated this gas station. I'm not sure if you can get your car washed through the self check out, but I love the new self check outs! Very fast and easy to use!”

“Nice store, only had really nice interactions with staff who are very polite. Clean store, and decent selection of beer. Beware the prices on the shelves are not accurate. When they ring you up it will likely be more than what it says on the shelves.”

“One of my favorite places. Started going there, when I was like 17-18 . I still go there at age 61. I miss the old man. I believe Chris. They have great deserts homemade sweets. I love their Sunday pizza specials, just overall great food. My son said their meatballs dont taste the same or thinks they don't make them the same, that they changed or don't seem homemade. I don't know. I always get pizza or chicken or egg salad with bacon. I know products are high. Things gone up. If they keep making their chicken salad same way. I'll keep buying it.”

“Awesome new convenience marketplace attached to a gas station in the greater Portland area.This one has an unparalleled beverage section, with a long hot coffee selection, a shake machine and one of those mega soda machines where you can dial up your combo.Inside the Market, there is also a hot fried chicken counter and the best part...a Boba Tea stall!I ended up ordering a Taro Boba with no added sugar and it was spot on!Queen Bee is so big, there seems to be a lot of room there to grow, maybe open up a few more food stalls??”

“My favorite neighborhood store despite living in another city. This place is teeny inside, but they have what I want-usually a bear claw and a cheap decaf. This is the old neighborhood J grew up in, so I'm drawn back like a magnet to iron now and then. Friendly peeps work here too.”

“Brittney was a star. We came in around 8:20 to check out at close, noticed I forgot my wallet and she was so patient to wait for my friend to go grab theirs. We still had card issues and she was so nice and personable while we we figured it out. Thanks for staying late, being so patient and having the best attitude girl!”

“We stopped for gas at quarter to 7 tonight, and there was only one woman running the entire gas station. And she was FLYING. She was running two registers at once, and answering the phone in between. 10/10 I have never been so impressed.”

“Very nice market. Fairly small in the winter months, but definitely worth the visit. There was a good variety of vendors. We especially liked the honey and jam. There were also plenty of vegetables and meats to choose from. No parking fee. Definitely recommend.”

“Kayla in the pharmacy was super helpful and SO long-suffering in helping me get a prescription transferred from Colorado Springs to Portland! I was on the phone throughout the day with 3 different places (2 pharmacy and 1 MD), and Kayla was by far the kindest in helping me. I really appreciate her!”

“I think everybody in the store gives excellent assistance! They will come from around the counter to help you find an item! The pharmacist is great always willing to give advice about a medication but there is one fairly new employee he's an older man possibly in his 50's he has gray hair that he keeps it kind of long in the back he usually works the front cash register he's rude and has horrible customer relations! I asked to have the 4 items I was buying separated n showed him what I mean he didn't do it so I asked if it would separate when I used cash for part of the total n the rest on the credit card he said it would separate which it didn't so he stood there staring at me and I said we'll ring it in separately he stated that he couldn't do that??? What do you mean you can't do that pretend I'm 2 people and we're both only paying for 2 items each???!!! He was huffing n puffing while ringing it in when I was finished paying he made a comment which I don't remember unfortunately which I replied I told you that you could do it.. lol! I fully intend to get his name next time I'm there so I can make a formal complaint he shouldn't be working with the public!! The rest of the employees there have always been nothing but kind and courteous and they know their job description and execute it in a friendly and quick manner!!”

“Wow!!! Best little market/gas station I have ever been too! The food is so good that I know a couple who had their anniversary dinner there when the wait at Olive Garden was to long... here are 100 other restaurants near by but the food at the Rusty Lantern Market is AMAZING!!! It isn't gas station food... It's top of the line restaurant food. Lots of parking, drink selections, alcohol selections, an awesome manager, clean bathrooms and like I said before the BEST FOOD! When is the last time you were at a gas station where the trash cans were not over flowing with trash? I have never seen over filled trash cans at that Irving station. It's my 1st pick for a gas station in all of Portland/South Portland.. I seen someone said it was expensive in another review. There are some places you might find some things slightly cheaper. It's pretty much at par with other places BUT the items that seem "pricey" are unlike anything you will get anywhere else! Plus you get what you pay for and you get your money's worth. One of their salads is 3 meals for me because they pack so much in one of those containers. Not many people can finish one of those salads in one sitting. Get money than one dressing because those veggies are crammed in there pretty tight and you will need it! Don't miss out! Give it a try... You will not regret it. I bet it will become your favorite place to get gas and everything else. Oh man I almost forgot to add this little fact... There are other Rusty Lanterns and a lot of things are the same at most of them... But not the food. I have had pizza at 3 other stores in the chain and none of them have even came close to the store on congress st. .. their pizza is amazing! I'm betting it's the best in the state of Maine. It's not like that at other stores. They get different crust at some stores and all the stores have different ovens. So where the Rusty Lanterns are all clean places with good gas, drinks, alcohol selections and so on, you can't get the same amazing food at the other locations that you will for sure get at the Congress st location. Facts! Sorry this is so long. I like to be descriptive as possible in reviews..Ps... Their lobster rolls are made with fresh lobster meat cooked and picked locally. They put so much on the brioche roll that you have to take some off and eat it by itself because you can't open your mouth wide enough to take a bite and also it's piled so high it will fall off anyways! No joke.. I love the deal they have when you buy two.. and even more than the deal I love that they add a dill pickle spear wrapped in a sandwich bag to the container the roll comes in... Amazing!!!!! Now that I have talked about them I'm craving it and I have to go to the store and get one... Plus a slice of pizza because they make fresh pizza all night. They pack the cold case every night with freshly made food. There is no place I have ever seen that comes even remotely close to that place...so that's my honest opinion, thoughts and feelings... Good luck guys. Be safe and take it easy. :)”

“When one of my buddies wasn't feeling well while we were in Portland, I made a trip to this Walgreens to get Advil, water, candy and nuts...only the essentials, naturally. The store was clean, well-lit and well-stocked. Prices were reasonable and checkout was fairly quick. There's a parking lot here as well, which is nice because parking in downtown Portland is at a premium! If you have drugstore needs, this is your place.”

“I cannot express what a positive experience I had getting a drive-through Covid test today. From booking it online ahead of time with almost no notice to getting the test done, they made everything super easy and had great service. Booking the test was simple and fast and once I arrived, a kind employee did an excellent job guiding me through the steps. It took about two minutes in total and cost nothing. Would highly recommend”
