“After reading the reviews for Barco Food Mart, I chose to visit it over the other convenience stores nearby. I read reviews mentioning the nice restrooms and I was not disappointed! The staff was very kind and greeted my friends and me when we came in. The restroom was clean and nice. The prices were really great and I got 3 snacks and 1 drink for $10. One of our friends got a drink the size of a small child for very cheap. My friends and I all thought that the woman checking us out was kind and provided excellent service! I am satisfied with my trip to Barco Food Mart and will look forward to returning if I get the chance. I plan on naming my future dog “Barco” in honor of the amazing Food Mart.”

“Stopped here on our road trip between Philly and the OBX. I was hungry, so I got the fattest hot dog that was rolling on those rollers, and it was damn good. The restroom was clean and they even have a sign proudly stating that fact.”

“There are great for breakfast do not get the chicken parmesan me and my brother had it and there was nothing but a bunch of water in the bottom of the foil pan the chicken was a chicken tender and you only got two and the tomato sauce is okay but they leave a bunch of water in the noodles and they don't know about Al dente noodles. Too much water in the in the bowl. Truly discouraged. Today my brother went this is about a month later and he said the biscuit was dry and crumby. I've been going to this gas station / restaurant for 20 years I've been down here since 1994. Usually they have great stuff I don't know what's going on it's been sorely lacking lately.”

“I absolutely love this place! The food is always good, they have some amazing desserts and their brownies are to die for. I always get the exact same thing every time I go, chicken bacon ranch wrap, and they always accommodate the changes I ask for and they make it EXACTLY the way I like it every single time! The portions are perfect for the price too, I don’t feel like I’m paying too much for too little. I love everything about this place. It’s my go to spot for lunch or to grab an energy drink before work. I’m familiar with a few of the staff and they are always so kind and welcoming when I come in! One of my favorite places in Currituck!”
