It’s been a few years since I stopped in Howards, but I know it hasn’t changed. Friends of mine that I haven’t seen in quite a while live close by.. It’s a unique experience. Great place to stop and relax.

Great little gas station with tap beer. I have never been able to indulge because I am the driver, but they have great prices and a great selection on bottled/canned Shiner beer to bring home or some blue bell from the freezer. Even more importantly, we go there to see Peanut. 💯😻
