“A perfect place to get food gas.. Very very friendly but owner puts a lot of heart into his business.. He's employees are happy and we'll take him care of.. The establishment is clean, smells good and they have great food.. I'm not from gordonsville I was out of town for a basketball game.. It was a pleasure to stop here before I got on interstate 40. To get all the stuff I needed and use their restroom ☺️ They have a drive through window.. Open all holidays when most are closed.. And soon to be if not already twenty four hours.. "Ayman" Is the owner name.Which I had a pleasure to meet that day.. They have 2 welcome mats??????That's in itself enough to walk in can you give this place a try.. So if you need that drink on christmas morning, Or a meal in your belly thanksgiving day. Or just food anytime (which is simply amazing). You should definitely stop here.. ????????? Sometimes the best places to stop or a mile off the interstate...”
“It may seem like an ordinary gas station but the women that work here are amazing. My car broke down an hour away from home while on my way to nashville... it was hot and miserable and I had my 17 month old daughter with me. The women here have went out of their way to help us with anything we have needed. They even gave my daughter some free ice cream to help keep her calm and occupied. I know they will never see this but I just wanted to say thank you so much for making our horrible day just a little bit better.”
“A little expensive compared to prices closer to home. But in rural America, there's always a little extra to pay for gas since one truck might take 10 hours to dump its fuel across many small towns.”
“You know, it's all about expectations. I would never bring my wife here. But I was able to pee and get a Diet Mountain Dew and I didn't get stabbed. That's a win in my book.”
“3.75 out of 5 the restrooms were clean the shower was clean and food pressure however they lost me with the paid parking , in a smaller lot yet to boot and no washer and dryer’s the staff is pretty welcoming though , the food however needs rotated as you can tell it was sitting for a while .”
