“Staff was friendly and helpful (especially at the restaurant counter), my husband said the burger and tots he ordered were amazing and I have a friend who highly recommended their breakfast so we'll have to try that next. We grabbed a ton of treats, a canned stuffed animal, and a few items off their used/vintage shelving which was a fun surprise to find! Now...the customers that come in and out are the ones who can make you nervous in this super small place in the middle of nowhere, so just be aware of the eyes on you if you or your family are rye or whole wheat bread amongst the 99.9% country white bread. Also be prepared for dudes in diesel trucks cursing at each other for where they parked at the pump in .05 seconds of arriving.”

“Everyone that works here is friendly and a hard worker but special shout out to Harman who single handedly kept the store open during a lengthy power outage. Give this man a raise ?”

“Great store in a great little farm town. Owner is such a great guy, he used to own the Shell in Orchards, and now serves up the same great chicken strips, JoJo's, biscuits and gravy, etc. And it's great they still sell gas, since the other small store here got rid of their gas pumps for some reason, must be the new owner.”

“This is the place to stop and fill your tank right before your visit to Ilani Casino. It's best you know your fuel is already paid for before you come out the other side broke.”

“Nice little hidden gas station in BG. However it is completely out of window cleaner and is just a little more run down and expensive. Not a bad spot though and super fast pumps even the Porta potty is well maintained ?”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average.
