“Great little store. This place seems to be the local drive thru! I walked inside and bought a cold soda, burger and chicken sandwich out of the hot case. Average hot case food. The guy helped 2 cars through the window, then helped me. The amount of cars going though is pretty impressive. The guy that helped me was quick and respectful”

“Review from our July 2024 visit. Great small town liquor store. Had way more in stock then I would expected. The people working were respectful and let us shop without being harassed. Sometimes outsiders can be watched and untrusted, but did not feel that there. If I am passing through again, will stop and stock up. Thanks”

“Fair prices, clean place. Staff was friendly. The only worker I seen was rotating back and forth between registers, which kept the customers moving better. Hot case food was average”
