“This is our second stop here in a week. Cheap gas prices attracted us the first time, but while we were inside, we decided to grab some cheeseburgers. These were THE BEST cheeseburgers we've had in a long time. The we're thick and juicy and so much better than any chain burger. They were also inexpensive, too. And the staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed it so much that we stopped back by on our way home just to get lunch! This time, we got one grilled and one fried chicken sandwiches. Again, fantastic! It was obvious these were real chicken breasts and not some molded patties like at the chains. Two sandwiches and a 44 oz drink were less than $10. While the staff was different today except for one man, everybody was still very nice and helpful. Oh! And it looks like they're adding on our remodeling. It's nice to see a convenience store being improved upon while so many are falling into disrepair. I highly recommend Food Mart for gas and/or food. You won't go wrong. We'll be back again in a few days!”
