“This gas station absolutely saved the day for me. After spending the entire day exploring Death Valley, my car had been idling with the AC on far more than I expected. By the time I left the park around 9 PM, I realized I was running dangerously close to empty. Somehow, I had gone the whole day thinking I’d find gas easily, completely forgetting that I was in the middle of nowhere. At that hour, most other gas stations were already closed, and the next available fuel was in Pahrump, NV which was about 60 miles away from Death Valley. Thankfully, I found Longstreet Fuel, about 40 miles from Death Valley, and it was open. It might have saved me from being stranded in the desert late at night. The gas was more expensive than Las Vegas, but that’s completely reasonable given the location. I only filled up a few gallons, just enough to get me safely to Las Vegas, and was beyond grateful this place existed when I needed it most.”

“If I could give 10 stars, I would! I called about a U-Haul motorcycle trailer after a car passing a truck crossed the line hit and destroyed my trailer. Tony called back 5 minutes later, found a trailer and personally moved it to the Amargosa location. I had both a truck and motorcycle to move which I could not do both. After driving my truck to Amargosa, Tony drove me 45 miles north in his truck to pick up the motorcycle. On the way back he found a hand mirror and installed it on my truck in place of the shattered left mirror. I also had a great curry chicken at their restaurant inside. Tony went the extra several hundred miles to help in every way that got me back on the road. I will stop there every time i pass to say THANK YOU TONY!”

“Is this a tourist trap? Absolutely. Did I love it? Oh yeah. So much fun souvenirs and a good place to get some snacks and drinks. The little diner in the back was really great. The sandwiches were space/alien theme and delicious! Everything was made to order and the ingredients were so fresh. Fun little stop 👽”

"These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains.
