“We come here just about every year for the last 12 years to pick up something we forgot or need for our annual vacation. I've always found the store to be well stocked with items one might need and the staff has always been super friendly, helpful and accommodating. Thank you so much for your help with the knives and see you next year!”
“The food was out of this world. We left with full bellies and an overload on seafood. I got to meet the owner. Very nice staff and service was great. Def a must if u go to Berlin and want good crabs. Corn was steamed to perfection 👌”
“At the Shell Gas Station, you'll find service with a smile that goes beyond expectations. The cashier greets you warmly as you walk in, ready to assist with your purchases or answer any questions you may have. Their friendly demeanor creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit a pleasant experience. When it comes to quenching your thirst, Shell Gas Station delivers with a selection of ice-cold beverages that hits the spot every time. From refreshing sodas to chilled energy drinks and bottled water, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Plus, the drinks are always kept at the perfect temperature, ensuring that each sip is as satisfying as the last. While cleanliness is generally maintained well inside the store, the exterior areas like the pumps and parking lot could benefit from a bit more attention. However, this minor flaw doesn't detract significantly from the overall positive experience provided by the friendly service and quality drinks. While Shell Gas Station's prices may not always be the cheapest, the value comes from the convenience of having everything you need in one place. The refreshing drinks, combined with the excellent service, make it worth paying a little extra for the added convenience and quality. Overall Experience: 4.5/5 For a gas station experience that goes above and beyond, look no further than Shell. With its friendly cashier and selection of ice-cold drinks, it's the perfect pit stop for travelers in need of refreshment on the go. Whether you're fueling up for a long journey or just stopping in for a quick pick-me-up, Shell Gas Station delivers a refreshing experience that keeps you coming back for more.”
“NOTE: 3 STARS FOR GAS - 4 STARS FOR FRIENDLY STAFF AND NEIGHBORSYou have to love a place named Uncle Willie's. The place is obviously liked by the locals with many stopping by while we filled up. It's just a great blessing that they were the nicest people, so helpful and concerned for us. Whoever owns this place is one of the luckiest people on earth.”
“This is my local corner store and is run by the nicest family you could ever meet! Uncle Willie’s has all your needs covered. Pro-tip- extensive smoke shop goods sold here. Kratom, 7oh, and many more.”
“There was this really really really awesome guy working night shift and when me and my friend walked up to pay for our Slushy‘s he was really funny and gave them to us on the house!!! I really hoped I got his name because he was really awesome and funny”
“Love this place. Very convenient for me. Plus I have a Walgreens card with savings! I wish they had a few more employees..it appears they reduced their workers. Its pretty much set up like CVS. Nice to have this store close to home.”
“Stopped in to pick up an online order and was greeted with some of the most friendly people. There was a lady with a green shirt, manager?, who bagged my order without asking. A man in the back who remembered exactly what I ordered and had it packed up front for me, sorry I didn't get their names. Then there was Elizabeth, who was bubbly and kind. Those three people have customer service down to an art and should be praised for it. Thank you three for that wonderful experience!!”
