“The Marathon gas station is fine overall. The pumps worked properly, and I had no issues paying either at the pump or inside the store. It’s a convenient stop if you’re passing by and need to refuel or grab a quick snack. The convenience store has a decent selection of drinks and snacks, nothing special but enough for a short stop. The outside area was fairly clean, and the staff was polite, though not particularly friendly. Overall, it’s an average gas station — nothing bad, nothing exceptional. It does its job.”

“Inside gas station, full beer selection bar. No wine, mixed drinks or moonshine just beer. Popcorn and peanuts as snacks. You're inside as gas station if you want other food or go outside and walk around to the Dunkin Donuts next door. Krystal was the bar attendant and she was awesome.”

“Molly's is my absolute favorite place to pick up snacks, beers and pizza. The pizza is genuinely the best you'll ever get for $11. Plus the staff is really friendly so stopping by there feels like dipping into the corner store in a neighborhood you grew up in.”

“Friendy staff and amazing food, it's that simple. I can promise that this place will surprise you. The burgers will knock your socks off. The lasagna on tuesdays will make you swallow your tongue. Somehow I keep missing to try the chicken parm on thursdays, will report back BUT let me tell you- the PIZZA *kisses fingers* MUAH! Bellissimo e molto delizioso! The owner proudly let me peek behind the curtains to see their ingredients and kitchen. He has every reason to be proud. He did something many others have failed to do. Bravo!”

“We stopped in here to get gas and a drink, and happened to notice the homemade pizzas. We picked up a homemade pizza as a snack for the road, and it was phenomenal! If you were in the area, I highly recommend the homemade pizza!”

“Some co workers and I have been working some long hours this week at the store across the road. We've been enjoying our sweet tea and biscuits all week. A nice fellow at the drive thru tonight, I regret not getting his name.”
