“I was shocked (and a bit annoyed) to discover that the gas here is cheaper than Costco (and any other place in the area, by a LOT). I'll take it! Whilst side eyeing Costco 😑”

“The bridge was closed down and we were trying to decide whether to take a 2 hour detour. The young man at the counter was so friendly and helpful; he voluntarily took the time to look up info to help us decide, saving us the 2 hour detour. He gave us a very good impression of Astoria! Very much appreciated!”

“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.”

“Friendly staff and looks like a decent selection of hot food if you're looking for that. Wine and very small selection of hard stuff is very overpriced. Not a bad place, though.”

“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.”

“In August 2025, we visited the Safeway Fuel Station in Astoria, Oregon. This Safeway Fuel Station is adjacent to the East Astoria Boat Ramp, and we were able to fill up our truck and boat at favorable gas prices. This location is clean and well-maintained. We had an enjoyable and memorable boating and fishing trip to Astoria, Oregon on the Columbia River.”

“I've been staying in a hotel close to this store the last few days while visiting and have been happy with them. The staff have been pleasant and helpful. I've gone in each morning for coffee and it's been fresh each and every day. I've also popped in and grabbed a couple Mike's 'hard' drinks or Modelo's in the single cans and they're plenty cold. Average prices for the area from what I've seen. Very pleased!”

“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”

Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
