“This is an excellent place for gas as it has plenty of gas pumps available with usually the cheapest price around. They also have multiple cold drink vending machines in back. One insiders hack is if the pumps out front are all busy, there are several more pumps on the right rear available for fueling vehicles towing boats or trailers that are usually not as busy. Conveniently located on Long Beach Road on the way to everything.”

“I’ve lived in hold for 15 years and this is my go to store because of Dawn. She does her job well which is hard to find these days. No one wants to work. She know what needs to be done and gets it done. She’s very knowledgeable about everything. She’s such a wonderful person and human. She puts a smile on my face every time I see her. I love coming to the store every morning and having a daily chat with her. If she ever left I would stop coming to that store. She’s the only one there with a personality.”

“Stopped in for coffee and got much more. Surprised to find great food and friendly staff, and the place is spotlessly clean. Hand breaded chicken tenders, Angus burgers, potato wedges, fried okra, and apple cobbler. Also had green beans which were not very well seasoned, but they may not have had a chance to cook for too long, but they did have nice chumxks of ham. Chicken tenders, okra and wedges meal was $7.99. Full selection of drinks. Coffee has fresh ground beans, not just pots with coffee getting old and bitter. Highly recommend.”

“Overall, it's not bad. Parking was a breeze, nice wide space, and arranged for smooth exits. Above average service. Bathrooms, not so much, they needed a proper cleaning.”
