“Very family oriented an amazing place to be it’s my home away from home the employees will give the shirts off their backs to make sure the customers are satisfied and happy with service. Wide variety of different products from animal feed bait for fishing and your everyday convenient store items. It’s the place to be.”
“First time at this place. Ordered the cheese burger plate. It was delicious. The burger was hot and juicy and fries nice and crunchy. The young man that cooked the food did a excellent job. I wish I have gotten his name. If this helps it is 7:53pm. Whom ever the cook is during this shift. Definitely a keeper. Will definitely stop by again. Passing through from Alabama. I ate the food first. Didn't see making a review until I was finished. Presentation was definitely on point. Thanks”
“They got one employee in there her name, Ashley. She is really unbelievable. I’m very impressed. She’s smart and she can go through a line with no problem whatsoever that’s efficiency.”
“The Ladies running this store are incredible, she is a great cook and if I weren't for the hard work of them in the kitchen I wouldn't be going here. Keep it up ladies ?? you guys ROCK!”
“For the most part they have anything that you need. I wish they would carry ice cream. I've been going there for about 15 years and I never had any problem”
“My very favorite BBQ restaurant. As a professional pilot for over 40 years, we always joked that we just flew around the world to find the best BBQ. My favorite was (realitively) just down the street. Both locations rock. My favorites are the Hog pulled pork and BBQ chicken sandwiches. Both are the best I've ever tasted. The closest location is about 40 minutes drive, but we'll worth the time. Awesome BBQ!”
“This HotSpot is the best! Always open and always exciting! I live nearby and am still shocked with new items and options almost weekly! Breakfast biscuits are huge!”
“Ive been coming to this store since 2012. The owners have changed but the quality of service and quality of products ate the same if not better than the past. Friendly employees and a wide selection of food drink and novelties! I will continue to shop here for years to come! It is a Landrum Institution!”
“This is a small town with a smaller store than many areas around us. It is clean and well stocked. CVS employees are local and friendly to everyone. The price are a little higher than the local Dollar General but the coupons offset the prices. I shop there regularly.”
“Even though I found this particular store a bit lacking in supply; I liked the lady running it. I felt more comfortable going in here as it was smaller and less crowded than my previous one. This store was located a bit more towards civilization and I liked that! It was utilized fairly well but it was just so small on the inside. The standard travelers wares are stocked ok. Cold beer, snacks, lotto, propane tanks, etc, etc, etc! Normally I'd give a stop like this one three stars but when people are nice to me I will often up the ante a star! I recommend this store to the public.”
“The owner is very nice, he tells you when stuff is on sale or when there is a special on something that you're trying to purchase. Good selection. Their driveway needs to be fixed but that's the only negative lol”
“Super convenient, at the corner of highway 9 and highway 292. They have a grill inside, serving food until 7:30. The hotdogs and burgers are a must-try, with homemade chili and homemade coleslaw. We eat from here quite often, as we live nearby. Friendly staff. Clean store and restrooms. They also have a walk-in beer cooler.”
“GasBuddy directed me here, so I know it's the cheapest gas in the area. I didn't spend any time inside the convenience store. Just a a quick fill up quickly and on the way. It's located on a busy corner and there's a lot of traffic.”
“I recently stopped by a BP gas station during a road trip, and it turned out to be a great choice. The station was easy to access, and the location was clean and well maintained. What really stood out was the range of products inside the convenience store. They had everything from fresh snacks to beverages, and I was able to grab a quick coffee from the Wild Bean Café while I filled up my tank. The staff was friendly, and the transaction was smooth. It was nice to see that BP also had signs promoting environmentally conscious fuel options, which made me feel better about my choice. All in all, it was a convenient and pleasant experience,”
“New owners are such wonderful people. Very pleasant. Breakfast is wonderful! Lunch is hot and always prepared to your liking. Go visit the store and have a hot coffee or enjoy a nice fresh hot meal.”
“Best Gas Station I've ever been to. The man who owns the store always is so nice and friendly. I buy Taki's from his store all the time. His store has so many cool things. Definitely check it out if you pass by! :)”
“Cheapest gas in Spartanburg today. $3.74 per gallon for regular and $4.74 for diesel. I bought gas here many times and never had a problem. It’s at the corner of Asheville Highway and John Dodd Road.”
“This is a very good store I would totally recommend it. The clerk is very sweet and so down to earth , her name is sue. Has abt anything you would need . So stop bye and come and see for your self ?.”
“Keyanna Hill is honestly well, the most honest cashier I've ever met, very helpful and knows where everything is, hope a lot more people notice her work ethic!”
“Great little drugstore with medicine, socks, makeup, beauty supplies, and limited groceries. Large private parking lot, friendly staff, and clean bathrooms. Go in and check your blood pressure at the free machine! On Rutherford Road, easy to get to.”
“I don’t always judge a man by where he stops for gas and snacks, but if he casually pulls into Lil' Cricket #3858 like it’s part of his routine, there’s a decent chance he’s got his life more together than most people on the road. This place has that smooth, dependable energy every guy secretly appreciates. Quick in, quick out, clean store, solid selection, and somehow always the perfect stop whether you’re grabbing coffee before work, fuel before a road trip, or snacks during one of those late-night drives where life suddenly turns into a country song. But here’s the thing — real confidence is efficiency. A man who knows where to stop, keeps his tank full, treats the cashier with respect, and walks out carrying a coffee like he’s got a plan for the day? That’s adulting at an elite level. Lil’ Cricket #3858 has that exact vibe. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere feels local and familiar, and the whole place runs smoother than a freshly waxed bass boat at sunset. It’s the kind of stop that feels reliable without trying too hard, and honestly, that’s a pretty attractive quality in both gas stations and people. Fuel up, grab your drink, and proceed through life with unreasonable confidence. Stay legendary, my friends.”
“This CVS is convenient and well-stocked, making it easy to find everyday essentials, pharmacy needs, and quick snacks. The staff is usually friendly and helpful, especially at the pharmacy counter where they do a good job explaining prescriptions and answering questions. The store is clean and organized, and checkout is typically smooth. It’s a reliable place to shop locally, with good service and a wide selection.”
