“The staff at this gas station absolutely won me over. I was badly lost, and not only did the lady at the counter give me effective directions, she wrote them down in large, neat handwriting. On top of that, the bathroom was clean, and prices for drinks/snacks were reasonable. If I'm back through Savoy again, this is where I'm stopping.”

“If you want a truly amazing burger you have to come here!My boyfriend got the mushroom swiss burger basket and he ate every bite. I have never had corn bites and was blown away. We paid $32 for the aforementioned plus 2 drinks, and a chicken strips basket subbed the fries for curly ones. I think it's a smidge overpriced for the chicken strips and drinks, the burger was worth it.”
