“Trying to spend a quiet afternoon right before the eclipse in the backcountry of my home state of Texas. Along the way I was almost accosted by some local lawman trying to keep the peace, and if you're going to be down this way just make sure that you follow the rules and you know it's worth it. Anyway I ran into Old Hill Country Store which was the first gas station on the left coming in from the last doordash order I had delivered . And I tell you what it's probably one of the best stops I've made in a long time. I'm talking friendly friendly friendly Texas friendly it's worth the stop. Right across the street from hatch Cafe and Bakery monster liked that store. he even got treats!!”
“Marshawn is literally the best clerk I’ve ever had in my entire life. Great customer service five stars always made me feel that I was important and he has the best personality ever that I could ever ask for any any Customer service!!”
“Great place I’d love to go get gas there. I have a quick trip card which allows me to fill up my tank before I even come inside to make a payment for the fuel. I love it always clean. They always have a robot made traveling through the store, sweeping and mopping the floors again always clean very important. I really like that about that place and all the other trips I’ve been into as well. Lots of variety for the drinks and food there a lot of healthy choices as well.”
“The fuel prices are the best in the area. The station is always clean and the staff is friendly. The new pumps make you feel safe from skimmers due to their touch screen design. While they don't have a convenience store they do have a small collection of drinks that are always cold and a few of the most common candy bars if you need a quick fix. Not a huge fan of the car wash but you can't win them all.”
“stop here to get gas, small cute gas station, pumps working very good, if you ask for receipt, it does provide to you, there is an ice cream shop and a very cute antique shop toogood place to stop”
“Today i pulled in to Walmart gas on fumes as a thunderstorm knocked out their system. The Clerk came out to bring an umbrella and escort me in to the store. They're always nice, helpful and courteous. But Today was above and beyond.”
“This QuikTrip is one of the best convenience stores and gas stations in the San Antonio area. The property is always clean, well-lit, and easy to access, with plenty of fuel pumps that make getting in and out quick and convenient. The store itself is spotless and well organized. Whether I'm stopping for fuel, coffee, a fountain drink, or a quick snack, everything is consistently stocked, fresh, and easy to find. The food and beverage selection is excellent, and the coffee is always fresh. What truly sets this location apart is the outstanding staff. Every employee I've encountered has been friendly, welcoming, and professional. They work efficiently, keep the checkout lines moving, and genuinely care about providing excellent customer service. The restrooms are exceptionally clean, which is something I always appreciate during a stop. It's obvious the team takes pride in maintaining the store and creating a positive experience for every customer. If you're traveling along Highway 281 or live in the area, this QuikTrip is a fantastic place to stop. Clean facilities, quality products, fast service, and a great team make this location an easy 5-star recommendation. I'll definitely continue coming back!”
“This Valero is always a smooth stop! The pumps are clean, the lot is easy to get in and out of, and the gas prices are very reasonable compared to nearby stations. The convenience store was also well stocked and tidy, which made grabbing a few extras quick and simple. Valaro really keeps the place running great — highly recommend stopping here!”

“We like this convenience ? store, it's always clean, the employees are always friendly, too many gas ⛽ pumps, and free sweet tea on Tuesdays, wait ... Camila's Mexican Restaurant ? inside the store will open up soon❗”
“The staff here is nice and they have a good selection but I am sick to death of them trying to push crap on me. Stuff like Skittles and gum and other crap. They wait till they give me my total then ask if I want to donate to some nonsense organization so they can get another tax deduction”
“Gas ⛽️ prices are usually competitive here. They recently remodel the food section for the Pizzas ? ? and burrito ? etc. The employee staff here is always very helpful.Ask for Steven when you go. He's usually the ONE EMPLOYEE THAT YOU WILL SEE DOING JUST ABOUT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THERE.GREAT GUY”
“I would shop here for everything if the prices weren’t about double those at HEB and Walmart. The store is clean, organized, and has great customer service as well. The only thing you have to be cautious of at this store is expiration dates!!! I have purchased several different items from here that were already a week or so expired or were expiring that day. The times I have taken the stuff back and shown them they have been quick to refund me.”
“I frequent this location five or six times a week. Half of the time, I get pizza, sandwiches and soups from the Subway, that is located inside of this Valero. However, this review is for one of the cashiers that work for Valero. Her name is Mrs. Virginia. Her aura is everything. Each time that I visit, she is glowing and has a most beautiful smile on her face. Even on Christmas Day, when I went by, she was cleaning the big cooler that the beers go in, she was cheering and welcoming. Her attitude never changes. She is super caring, considerate courteous, friendly, genuine, helpful, kind, thoughtful and sweet. She makes me feel like royalty. The way she communicates with me and packages all of my goodies and treats for movie night; makes me feel beyond appreciated and valued. We need more people like Mrs. Virginia in this world. Kindness, love, patience and understanding, really do go a long way.”
“Fueling up at Valero at Circle K is always a smooth and convenient experience. The pumps are clean, easy to use, and I never have to wait long. Gas prices are competitive, and I appreciate how well-maintained the station is. It’s great to be able to fuel up and grab a quick snack or drink inside Circle K at the same stop. Friendly staff and reliable service make this location one of my favorites.”
“This place got some awesome food! I don’t have enough stars to give them!!!! The lady is so kind and her cooking is so amazing, I can’t even describe it!!! I can say it tasted homemade ❤️??. I’m so coming back!!!!!”
“I really like this fishers neighborhood market, It is clean and it's pleasant to visit. The bathrooms are clean & the store is clean. It's not like a normal gas station, they have a bunch of trinkets and cool things that you can buy & they have lots of food options. I got a Mountain Dew and some Hunt Brothers Pizza. The Hunt brothers pizza is exceptional. Especially for gas station pizza!! You should try it. When I went today I was able to get the regular unleaded gas for $2.61 with a car wash. It was $2.81 without a car wash. The people in the store very nice however but they were a little slow. Not excruciating slow, just a little slower than I like. It will not stop me from going back. The store was clean and great, but I do have to warn you about the car wash. They had two lanes for the car wash, and The first one I went in did not work. It's OK that it didn't work, but there were no signs to stop me from going in that lane. Then I got into the other lane, and it took a looooooong time! There was only one car in front of me, but it took forever. So, I will be going back to the gas station many times. But, I will not get the car wash again, it just took too long and it didn't turn out that great. I'm giving fishers four stars, because the store itself deserves the four stars. If you haven't been to fishers I would recommend going there and checking it out.”
“Come here all the time staff is fun and friendly to talk to and go out of there way. However there is one employee who just gives me attitude and dirty looks everytime I come. I don’t know her nor have I ever interacted with her other than buying items. I thought maybe she just doesn’t talk but I’ve now seen her greet and talk to other ppl. Just seems like I’m being profiled by her specifically. Long brown hair”
“Under new management, store is clean and well stocked. It always smells good coming in, makes me hungry wanting to grab their fresh food. Dispensers are clean, and always my go to on filling up this side of town.”
“I always end up stopping here when driving from San Antonio to Austin - it's a reasonably nice store that has everything unhealthy you would expect from a gas station. So usually it's bottled water for me, gas for the car and I'm on my way.”
“Friendly & helpful staff, good gas prices, good product selection, even has a Subway inside with dining area, clean restrooms etc. I love stopping at this Circle K everytime I am in Bergheim!”
“The gas station was clean. I went to the bathroom. They have clean bathrooms really nice good customer service and the price as well. You know it’s a gas station so where you go the prices are different but I would really I would definitely stop by to put gas and get me some stuff from there again.”
“Well we come here very often, so we know all the employees and new owners, we used to get gas, ice, bottled water, sodas, snacks etc. Rush hours are always full packed. Great service ?”
“I go into this store every morning. The ladies that work the morning shift are amazing. They are always friendly, nice and helpful. The food is always fresh and great. We are on a first name basis, and it is great. For anyone to give this place a poor rating must be a Karen themselves.”
“Great post office INSIDE FISCHER MARKET. All the other reviews on here are for the actual US Post Office further down 281 North. For the people posting negative comments please look at what location you’re posting on”
“This is a great break stop on the way to the Hill Country State Natural Park from Austin. The restrooms are clean and they have plenty of roadside snack options available. Stopped by on an REI trip and appreciated the convenience and cleanliness of this rest stop. Gas is also a great price here!”
“Nothing to complain or praise. Its a convenient store... friendly staff, prices are what you'd expect these days... still trying yo figure out exactly when a 20oz doubles in price...”
“PicPac is one of the best stops around! The store is always clean, well-organized, and stocked with everything you might need on the go. What really stands out are the employees — they’re friendly, efficient, and make every visit quick and pleasant. Whether you’re fueling up or running in for snacks, the service is top-notch. Highly recommend PicPac for convenience and great customer care!”
“It's nearby my home but I rarely come here, years ago I came to get a little gas (because here it is always more expensive) and incidentally buy a lottery ticket.”

Love's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
