Amazing, friendly, and inviting people. Clean restrooms with great market items, including a large selection of cold craft beers with mixed 6-packs available. It also has a little bit of whatever you need and cooked food menu. Would highly recommend it, and if I ever pass that way again, I will definitely make a stop.

The owners have always been really good to me. They have fresh bait most of the time which is great since that's why I'm up there it's to go fission. He took my picture one year and put it in the local paper there. But I've always enjoyed their grab and go stuff. They've had a good selection.
