“Cute little gas station. Super nice and friendly staff. Very clean parking lot with a specific stall for handicapped patrons. I like that it's small enough and outside so I feel comfortable leaving my kids in the car while I pay. Very small drink and tobacco selection with no alcohol selection.”

“I don't have issues, great service. This is a 24hr stop, they are dealing with ALL types of foolishness. Not always going to get a smile but service is on point. Probably safer not to smile at certain hours of the day...”

“To be honest, I've had mixed experiences at this station. It is not uncommon for pumps to be out of order temporarily. However, that is to be expected. The reason I come here exclusively is, they sell E85. E85 is usually in stock, decent price, and every time I have measured the ethanol content is dead on at 85%. Exactly what I needed. Prices otherwise are solid. Employees have been helpful and reasonably friendly in my experience. Never tried any of the food or anything. But, if you're looking for E85 in the elgin area, this is the place to go!”

“This place has the best food the birria tacos are amazing along with everything else they cook. Wild Taco inside this place is awesome. The restrooms are clean contrary to some of the comments that other people have falsely claimed. The photos aren't even of the same place.”

“Great local gas station. Building is always clean, there is a basic variety of snacks and drinks. There is a amazing beer selection in the "beer freezer". Staff goes above and beyond making sure only people who are customers are hanging around, so I always feel safe. Gas prices are always the lowest or second lowest in town. Quality gas that will not mess your car up.”

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.
