“Down home small town atmosphere, probably one of the last stations where an attendant still pumps your fuel and services your car. Friendly associates, reasonable pricing.”

“All I'm going to say is that this place is awesome and near a relative we visit. Usually it's pretty good no problems but the last time I was in there a blonde woman was behind the register waiting on people. I was in alone with one gentleman in front of me and two behind. Another guy came out and opened another register. He was waited on the gentleman in front of me and then some dumb woman thought for some reason that there was two lines and that all five of us were standing on the left line and she skipped the whole line walked right in front of all of us to the gentleman that had opened the new line. Nothing was said to her which irritated me but that really wasn't their fault just aggravating. What really got me was that this whole time the blonde was standing there talking to the same customer this went on for about 10 minutes seriously as I waited. Then after talking to him for 10 minutes he says he wants the lottery tickets and I know that takes more than a few minutes! I dropped my stuff on the counter and left and we went somewhere else I can completely understand being friendly and chatting with repeat customers I've been there but her ignoring the line that just kept getting longer and longer and then them letting someone walk in and not saying anything to them by skipping the whole line? I just really was furious. Hope they do better”

“Very friendly customer service! Very clean bathroom and I enjoyed the best pepperoni & mozz roll I have ever had in my life. Five stars. It was amazing! It was fresh and warm right out of the oven, the ingredients were fresh, perfect ratios of ingredients- PHENOMENAL. I live an hour away but I will definitely go back just for a pepperoni roll to make my day. I can’t say enough- try one! Thank You!!!”
