“If you're looking for gasoline or diesel (both on road and off road) this is a great place. If you want premium it is occasionally out. The prices are about on par with average gas prices. There is free air. They only update the gas prices every couple weeks, so if prices are rising you can usually get cheap gas here. I refuel here regularly and never had any issues with water in the gas which I've heard about some small gas stations with quality control issues. There are no amenities, so if you're looking for a bathroom, coffee, etc. keep looking. If you want gas, you've found the right place... and the only place within 7 miles.”

“Must stop at this Small shop. High quality. Both the service and the food quality was high. We ordered a pizza, salad, and huckleberry milkshakes. Pizza was take and bake style. Took it home, baked it to golden brown and enjoyed it tremendously. Delicious, huge, and loaded with cheese/toppings. Salad was fresh. No wilted lettuce. Came exactly as we ordered it. Huckleberry milkshakes were incredible. Never had them before so they were a great summer afternoon treat. Staff was friendly and attentive while welcoming their customers. Great little shop/restaurant. Will be returning for sure.”

"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. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
