“Stopping here is like stepping into a 70s road-side ice house. A lot of food and supplies are packed into a small space and it feels like a family run business. The gas pumps are vintage equipment with extra long hoses to reach around the car. I hope the future Rte219 road won't divert all the business away from this historic place.”

“Best choice for me around the area. Very pleasant and helpful. Worked with me to get all my prescriptions straightened out and all the headaches that happen with insurances and prior authorization. I prefer going here for my pharmacy rather than any other place.”

“We had the one of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten here. Small gas station with a restaurant attached. The staff was really friendly and I tell you what that was some of the best food I’ve had. I’m from Ohio and just got luck because we stopped for gas.”

“It was rainy and I really thought I could hold it until I reached Baltimore, but the gas pump did not print out my needed receipt so I had to go in anyway. I am very leery about gas station bathrooms but this one was, really, pretty great. (Sorry, no photo as I didn't have my phone on me.) As I went to the register to retrieve my gas receipt I said how nice the bathrooms were. The cashier was talking to a local and the local said that she's heard they were nice. She strode off to take a look and I heard her exclaiming about them. So, based on bathrooms alone, 4 stars. Gas was relatively cheap, too.”
