“With a view of a great mural on the side of the building next door, what a great place to have an excuse to stop! A couple of bikers from Portland OR so kindly pumped my gas for me (a paraplegic old grandma) when I had to stop with just a whisper of fumes left in my tank. How good that there are such good people in the world.”

“There is a sign in the front window for Don's chicken tenders, hand battered every morning. I asked by boyfriend to get me one when he went inside and he said if they look good he will. Well I saw him walking out with a paper bag so off to a good start. He got 3 haha. They were soooo good. You can tell they're hand battered and not chicken tenders from a frozen bag. My boyfriend said they are the best chicken tenders he ever had and that he should have gotten more to put in the freezer at home.”

“This is a convenient gas station located in Astoria signs say restrooms are for paying customers only but everyone working is very nice and will let you use the bathrooms regardless. It is not the cleanest restroom I've ever used but it does get the job done. They have a good selection of snacks, food and drinks and their gas prices are reasonable. I am pretty content with this Small Stop Station and will return next time I am in town for my convenience store needs. Additionally, they had lots of signs related to wearing masks including this cute one in the bathroom. All of the employees had masks on as well I am happy with my experience overall.”

“The gas was $4.93 a gallon at the Chevron can't beat that it's got a cute little market somewhat spendy but it is what it is I stopped there every time I come to the coast and fill up”
