“This place is always great! I really have nothing bad to say! The staff there are usually friendly, gas is gas, not high but not low either. I will say this, though: if you're looking for dip (chewing tobacco), this is ? the place for you!!”

“Its nice because this location is easy access to the beaches and the freeway. They also have delicious chicken they make fresh there! Their selection is big and everyone is so nice”

“I've known some of the people that work there for a long, long time. They're great people. Well stocked and cold beverages. Also, it has a very good drip coffee. Almost a 4 star because they don't have "non alcohol gas" for my carburated stuff like my bike and DR brushcutter. It's easy to get in and out even in terrible traffic. Even if there is Ferry traffic, you can go out the back and catch a street signal light.”
Hansville Rd NE, Kingston WA 98346
“Gas prices are considerably less than surrounding stations. Have a good selection of snack/ food items. The alcohol prices seem a little steep, which surprises me! The station is in good state of repairs overall and their restroom is never nasty or trashed should you need it!”

“This is a solid convenience store with a surprisingly good hot food selection, especially if you're looking for a quick meal. They have a decent variety of sandwiches, chips, candy, and a good selection of beer and soda. The Chester’s Chicken is always a reliable choice, too. The absolute star of the show here is the chicken on a stick. They cover it in barbecue, honey barbecue, and hot sauce, and it has been amazing every single time. The only catch—and it’s a big one—is the timing. They usually only make it until about 2:00 p.m., and once it’s gone, it’s gone for the day. If you show up anytime after 3:00 p.m., you’re probably out of luck. It’s a great spot to stop if you’re passing through, just make sure you get there early if you want that chicken!”
