“Mobil is not only a gas station but it's also a convenience store where you can go in on shop for snacks you also have access to the bathroom and everything is clean”
“I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur of hoagies here in the Skook county area. I've tried every notable place in the south end of the county from Pottsville to Orwigsburg. Moyer's are very good. They are priced under $7 and it is a hefty hoagie. It is not a destination spot that I would go out of way for, but I would buy again if nearby and I would be a regular customer if I lived nearby. Also, they cut the rolls odd in that they cut through the entire roll causing the roll to have a "top" and a "bottom" like a sandwich and unlike normal hoagies. The may and oil/vinegar was a bit skimpy for my taste. Here's what kept me from going to the fifth star: 1. The bun. They use hard rolls which I think tends to cause the roll to dominate a hoagie. I prefer soft rolls so the meat is the star. They should offer soft rolls. 2. The onions overwhelmed the meat due to the strength of the onion. They should use a milder variety. 3. The ham used on the Italian was cooked ham, the cheapest variety of ham. They should step up to ham off the bone or even tavern ham. So...it was very good but not the best available in the area.”
“90% of the time this place is fabulous the only problem being is made to order food and made to order drinks you might as well get a coffin to sleep in while you're waiting for them -so so so so so so so long. The food at the end of the day taste good but who wants to wait 15 minutes for it sometimes. Staff is overall only so-so and a few cases in particular are rude as hell.”
“Turkey Hill in Schuylkill Haven is always what it says it is...a convenient store. Everything is easy to find, and a large majority of the staff are friendly, courteous, and very helpful. I'm there at least once everyday, and have never had a bad experience!! Thanks to all staff...keep up the good job!!!”
