The place is dirtier than I remember from the last 30 years. It's like a shady gambling hall now. My kids love stopping there back in the day, now filled with alcoholic meth heads wasting their money on cheezy gambling machines.

Looks nice on the outside but was disgusting and filthy on the inside. I would rather hold it for another 50 miles than go back in there. The staff's rude attitudes didn't help either

I stop in here a few times a year and never felt compelled to leave a review 'til now because it appears they're replacing a large swath of their kitch and tchotch offerings for slot machines, more slot machines, and other gambling games of "skill" both on a small and large scale (ex: they gutted a whole fridge section that once sold local NC sausages 'n such to construct a whole new room that appears to have been solely created to house an air hockey-sized tabletop multiplayer cash game). If plugging your income into a money-sucking timewarp is your thrill, no judgement here--may fortune favor your fancy. But since browsing and sometimes caving into impulse purchasing local food products, sand toys for the toddler, drinkware I don't need, or yet another beachy puzzle when I grab moar snax for the road is how I like to get my kicks, I feel compelled to criticize the renovations in progress on both sides of the Border Station as it's looking more and more like Gamblor's Roadside Sit 'n Spend and less like anything I'm interested in, and that includes their restrooms (less often reliably clean or, in some instances, not accessible at all). All that said, I'll probably pop in again just to see how the reno shakes out and whether or not my craptastic expectations (for better or for worse) are shaped and skewed by the wild winds of the capitalist hellscape we live in. Compliments to the ladies at the register, they're always nice.

Go here if you want to pay 40 cents more per gallon than the Wa Wa ten minutes away.

Stopped patronizing them when they started selling Let's Go Brandon merchandise. Do better.

Was a little sketchy considering location but regardless it was about 10 pm & the customer restroom was "closed". The cashier was helpful in dropping a hint that the Hardee's next door had bathrooms. I thought the Hardees was closed, I was shocked at how early the convenience marts & gas stations along the highway closed for the evening. A bit eery.

High prices on gas low prices on smokes and long wait waiting in line...sometimes.

Been shopping here for many , many years. They have delicious sausage. This time I bought a six pack of beer which was outrageously priced at almost $12. I didn't appreciate being ripped off for that.

Great place to stop mid trip! Clean bathrooms, snacks, gifts, and a mini restaurant!

BBQ is pretty good, the slaw is ok. Grab as many hush puppies as you can

This pit stop has everything: gas, clean restrooms, the largest selection of beverages and snacks I've ever seen, a snack bar, hand dipped ice cream, lotto (VA and NC since this building is situated right on top of the border--hence the name), OBX merch and souvenirs, take-home barbeque, and lots of regional products. What's a regional product, you ask? They have Stuckey's products, McCutcheons jams and such, and Wells barbeque sauce, a staple in my house. We buy two jugs to last us a year between trips to the Outer Banks, can't can't can't live without it! They have teeny tiny 18oz. bottles for the babies, and one gallon jugs for the adults, take yer pick. Basically The Border Station is the best pit stop on the East Coast, my oasis on my way to or from the OBX.

We always stop here on our way to the Outer Banks. Clean restrooms. Good selection of snacks.
