“Lowest price in West Quincy or Hannibal.Gas is always 10 cents a gallon less. There might be a line but you get in out fast. There's no store, just gas pumps and I counted at least 40 customers in and out in 15 minutes while I was parked and waiting for someone coming over from Quincy. I was happy when they open a Great River station in West Quincy. If need a snack I get it a store not high prices most stations sell. So just gas and that is what you get but cheaper!! Takes debit or credit cards. Gas is gas it comes by pipeline or barge, then by semitruck. Enjoy the savings!!!”

“I love the morning atmosphere; being able to get gas, drinks, oil change, etc. Is very nice in a small town and Johnnie's delivers! Living in town I can have someone pick my car up, perform an oil change and return it while I do things at home!”

“We stopped here for dinner and I had a Cheeseburger with ketchup and mayo and an order of Corn Nuggets. Wow, was that ever tasty !! I'm certainly glad we stopped here to eat...and we'll be stopping here again tomorrow as well, likely for breakfast.When I stopped Jared ( the cook ) to tell him how good the food was, he just smiled and said, "We're the best kept secret in the middle of nowhere." Well said...and, in my opinion, a killer slogan ! ??”
