“Great truck stop! There’s always plenty of parking, and I stop here quite often. The food is tasty, affordable, and definitely worth trying. It can get pretty busy during the day, but overall, it’s a nice place to take a break, grab a good meal, or get some rest. Highly recommend it to fellow truck drivers!”
“Very busy stop, but it has pretty much everything you need while on the road. Plenty of gas pumps, snacks, drinks, food, and all the usual travel essentials. Convenient place to fuel up (vehicle and semi trucks) and grab whatever you need before getting back on the highway.”
“This place is amazing!! Such a hidden gem even the locals don't even know how lucky they are!! I will be traveling the 2 hours to visit this place on a regular basis. This is a great combination of thrifting, vintage shopping, oddities and stuff for people with great sense of humor. Go in if not to meet the robot that follows you around the store if you are lucky enough to see it!! Check this place out!!”
“Engine was overheating and needed more coolant, Teischa (hopefully I’m spelling that correct) was super friendly lots of help and very positive even offering us a funnel for the coolant. Very clean especially the restrooms very pleased!!”
“Red carpet car wash does a phenomenal job at maintaining pride in what they do and have employees who do a thorough job to ensure all the salt is off your car after a winter storm!!”
“Surprising to how much is inside! It’s like a small grocery store. The ATM is great to deposit cash into if your bank approves. The snack and food choices are plenty. The atmosphere is comfortable. More fuel stations to become similar would be fantastic!”
“One of the better car washes in town. I have the unlimited plan and use it quite often. My only gripe which is probably my gripe everywhere Is the dryers don't run long enough. They do have towels outside to wipe down the areas the dryer doesn't get. Gas prices are about average maybe a few cents more because it's closer to the interstate. Inside the store selections decent. They've got some food and beverages. They have some hot food as well. They have fresh sandwiches and things during the say and donuts, muffins and pastries in the morning. It's a nice clean store and is conveniently located right on main and i-29.”
“Sibika and Bhumika, stellar individuals! I don't know what the application process is here but you've found GREAT people and I thoroughly enjoy every time I stop in. Who even says that about a gas station? I guess me. It's me. Also, Chase and Nick are the BEST (hope I got their names right!). Very helpful with me and my son when we stop in. Always great gas prices by comparison, and if you scan the QR code at the pump to get Simonson Rewards, gas is always 10 cents off by entering your phone #. Great location right off the freeway too.”
“Super convenient and nice! I was staying at the radisson and theres so many restaurants around here. Sometimes a gal just wants a coke and chips for her lunch. Basic prices and foods here with what you'd seen in an average convenience store etc.”
“Small store right off highway. Friendly folks, with a Mom and Pop feel. Small space, large merchandise accumulation. But, more then likely has your highway/travel needs..”
“This is right down the road from my house, and yes, I'm biased. This is my go-to store for all the little things I need to start MY day. Plus, they have an awesome mechanics garage attached to the store. Anybody looking for a good mechanic? A straight shooter, someone who will fix your problem as good, if not better. Then, the dealership for the same reasonable cost as a small mechanic, this is the place”
“We had a quick gas stop and they give us a great gas discount plus excellent discounts for the car wash! I personally think they have the best touch free wash in town plus if for any reason your vehicle doesn't get clean the first time you can just go in and tell the attendant and they will give you another wash so that they can make it right and get your vehicle to the cleanest standards that you would expect from a drive thru car wash!”
“Visited around 6:45pm. Bathrooms were immaculate, really great. They were out of a lot of the hot food items like the pretzels and roller dogs. Diesel was very cheap compared to other stations. The staff were cordial. This is a great Holiday, all things considered.”
“Best prices on: 1) gasoline (besides Costco and maybe Sammy's Club, and 2) donuts Free air for your vehicle's tires. This is a big deal. Some other chains charge. Bigger selection of grocery items than competitors. When is the last time you saw potatoes for sale at a convenience store/gas station? You will at KWIK STAR on 35th Street South and 12th Avenue South. Clean restrooms, which is an indicator of many other items. Quality cooked chicken--no ordinary chicken, wink--has regular customers. This Kwik Star has ample staff, so ladies, you won't have time to do your nails, and gentelmen, we won't have time to do whatever men do in lines. Lottery tickets, ATM, cigarettes galore, and -- I counted -- five video screens telling is about the hundreds of products with the Star. I was a little let down that none of the cash register ladies had on their chicken costumes, but they will come home to roost sooner or later. Kae is especially friendly and calm, although I have had good direct experiences with her coworkers at the checkout. Holy smokers, they also have grocery carts. Think about this. Game changer. New paradigm. The fixings counters on the east and north walls have at least ten fixers, for your Italian Sub, or what have you. I wish-- maybe some day, please Lord --I will have a wood stove and/or a real fireplace. Kwick Planet does have firewood. Well, that's all for now, sisters and brothers of our human family. Thanks for reading this. MJGjr AD/CE 2026 May 6 Wednesday Central Time 06:38 am.”
“Irena I believe her name was was very very nice it was busy and there was a line and some grumpier people and she was nice to every single person I think that shows talents nowadays with how grumpy people are.”
“Our #1 go to gas station/ convenience store! Great selection of food/drink/other, good prices, always clean and not cluttered like so many other gas stations. But mostly we love the employees/staff!!!”
“This was my first visit, I didn’t know what to expect. It was so clean. Fantastic selection Of things to choose from, Including groceries! But FRANK is the best! He is Incredible, very friendly and helpful. Anytime I need to go to a gas station I’ll come back to this location just to chat with him. Great experience 💜”
“Tyler is exceptionally courteous and friendly at the cash register. Well done, Circle K, for hiring such an outstanding young man. I will be back, even though your Spirits are pricy.”
“Petro has a really nice separate filling area for larger vehicles—completely apart from the regular cars. Our motorhome isn’t large, but this separate island would have accommodated the big guys with towed vehicles behind.”
“Came here for dinner the other night and left pretty happy. The pizza had a nice thin crust with just the right amount of crunch, and the sauce tasted fresh, not overly sweet like some places. We also got a side of garlic knots that were warm and soft. Staff was friendly and checked on us a couple times without being annoying. It did take a little while for the food to come out, but the place was busy so no big deal. Overall a solid pizza spot and I’d come back again.”
“Mistakenly dropped my money clip when I was at the counter. Someone turned it in and they held it until I called and claimed it. This country needs more people like them. Thanks ladies.”
“Coming back to my old stomping ground I remembered it was Stop-n-go but Casey's have been holding it's name by having something convenient and the wonderful CS!! Keep up the great work!!”
“Called in to order a pizza, it was a unique order and the guy was patient and polite. Found out at the end they didn’t deliver , but the gentleman Ash was still kind after I felt I wasted his time. I will definitely go in person order next time. They now have a new customer.”
“Friendly and courteous staff, Clean store and if your a regular on a hot summer day with children they'll even let a slushie go for free. Being good to kids says a lot about a person and one time my debit card locked up on me and I didn't have any cash and needed gas. The attendant give me ten dollars out of his own pocket and said if I run into another problem on the way home to give him a call at the store and he'd go help me get home I paid him back the next day and we been friends friends ever since.”
“So it might be popular with NDSU staff and students, and it is a pub/bar with food, and to be honest, not bad food. Colleagues had burgers, one a vegan burger, one a Union burger, and I had a flatbread pizza with bacon. All quite tasty, service was efficient and quick. It was busy, but certainly worth going to for lunch.”
“Date of Visit: 10/14/2019 - My family was across the street at the Art Museum and decided we needed a restroom break, some fuel, and something to drink. No complaints about this gas station - it was clean, the attendants were friendly, and we were back on the road in no time.”
