“Best mechanic around! Honest as they come. Wally and Zach are top-notch at what they do and always provide exceptional service at an affordable price. They take the time to do the job right, treat their customers with respect, and stand behind their work. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy mechanics. ---Ron”
“Brand new convenience store and smoke shop with Shell Gas station. Neat and clean. Great choice of Deli breakfast and Lunch. Hunt brothers Pizza and Wings are bonus. Go to place of every day needs.”
“Stopped by to use the ATM and bathroom. Bathroom was clean! Ended up getting some chicken biscuits and drinks. The customer service here is outstanding. The lady and man that was running this store was the friendliest iv saw in a long time. Thanks for a great experience. I'll be stopping by more often!”

“I'm thankful for the friendly folks at Frenchman's gas station. Customer service, store hours, and product availability keep me satisfied on a daily basis, seven days a week. God's blessings to everyone at Frenchmen's.”
“The biscuits are delicious - chicken, sausage, egg, fried bologna… all hot and ready.I’m told that the afternoon/evening food is great too, but haven’t tried it.”
“Allen's market is the closest gas station to Cummins Mills State Park. It is a great little gas station with reasonable prices, ethanol-free gasoline, deli sandwiches, and very friendly staff.”
“We love close and are in here often, everyone is always very nice and they're especially good at not letting the struggles of life come out at customers, quite rare these days. Plus my wife adores the blueberry coffee! Not to mention the rewards program has gotten us a gal of gas for 2.79 when the prices were 3.25ish so it can work very well along with straight cash value rewards as well as drinks and other stuff.”
“Everytime I have visited this establishment it has been very clean, well organized and busy. The variety of fountain drinks and slushes is awesome!! The cashier who waited on me was very friendly, nice and outgoing. I definitely will be back!”
“Pleasant people & servers of a filling breakfast. I like the discounted cigarettes and beer selection too. Just like Buck Mountain Market. It has compressed air, gas, and laundry soap also.”
“The ultimate all things tobacco store. Great pipe tobacco selections, and a cigar aficionado friend from Nashville says this place has the best humidor/cigar selection in Tennessee, and he gets around.”
“Just stopped in here for the first time in a long time! Fairly nice store, but the men’s room smells like old urine!!! Plus, Little Ashley is a very very pretty woman, and very friendly!”
“First time ever making a review about a gas station, but the lady working there was honestly the nicest person ever. Everything was clean, coffee is great, and I'll stop there any time I'm passing through!”
“Consistently has the lowest gas prices in town! I also love that the receipts are very small. The don't print an entire tree asking you to take a survey or some BS like a lot of other places do. The inside isn't that fancy. Just your average grungy convince store. And even when the store is closed, the gas pumps are open 24/7! Speed Mart is just a really practical gas station, and I like supporting local business.”
“Every person that works here is so kind and sweet.. they treat you like you are friends and family! They have great prices on tobacco products, fair prices on drinks. I do wish they had more sales to promote different items each week or month, I think it would help sales. Snacks are high so those I try to avoid unless the grandbabies are with me and give me those adorable looks that I can't refuse 😍 Overall.. it's always a pleasant experience when I stop in, which is pretty often.”
“I’ve never found a better breakfast biscuit than at this gas station. My sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit has almost become a daily meal. Friendly staff all around. This is a great gas station.”
“UPDATE May 2026: Since January, I have stopped here more times than I can count because the location is convenient with my work schedule. The store still has what you need, and convenience is definitely a strong point. What has changed for me is the customer service, especially from the owner. Over time, it has started to feel less personal and more transactional. I usually buy the same items, and lately everything is already rung up before I even get to the counter. While that may seem efficient, it no longer feels like customer care. That is disappointing because my first impression of this place earlier in the year was much different. For those reasons, I have to lower my review. I'll check back end at the end of the year to give my honest opinions of anything has changed. January 2026 I stopped in here for the first time on my way to church, and honestly, it was super convenient....get it? Convenient store. ? The station sits right at the intersection, so you can pull in from a few different directions without fighting traffic. There are plenty of pumps, so you are not sitting around waiting forever. Inside, everything felt clean, open, and easy to find. Simple stop, and no hassles. Friend staff and owner is easy to talk to every time I see him.”
“Has paved parking lot and that's a plus for me so you don't have rough areas or mud puddles to walk through or driving your car. I really like the gas mileage in my car when I get gas here, it seems to go longer in the mileage. Also pretty good place to eat”
“I get deliveries from here on a regular basis. Angie is a FANTASTIC manager and employee all around!! The only caveat is that if you need a delivery from there, you need to call the store before ordering to make sure DoorDash has performed maintenance on their machine. It's not the store's fault, Angie has asked DoorDash repeatedly to fix it but was ignored.”
“The store is super clean especially the restrooms, employees are really friendly, but the prices without their rewards program are pretty steep.I advise downloading their rewards app before shopping here”
“Brittany!! Girl you are a kind multitasking individual that cares about her job and her customers. You are the reason im switching my prescription to CVS. I've had nothing but terrible experiences every single visit at Walgreens and I only came to CVS for photos but I left feeling like I was at home . Thank you Sis. You could walk circles around most people I know . I will be back and its because of you . Hope you see this and I hope it let's you know you are doing something good in this world”
“Love the morning staff! Very caring and knows his regulars that come in. Even goes out of the way to make food for us just the way we like it n has it there the days we come in. Guy needs a raise or a promotion!!!”
“On 6/8/2026 we had an issue that occurred regarding a prescription... We were on a road trip and grabbed the Rx as we were headed out of town. 7 hours later we realized there was a problem. Upon calling the pharmacy we eventually ended up talking with Shane, the pharmacy manager. He went the extra mile in resolving the situation, involving him returning a call to us after working on the problem. Thank you, Shane! Kudos to you and to the care you exhibited to customers you have never met. We are grateful!”
