“Stopped here for fuel and snacks and have to mention these homemade Amish Fried pies.They are kind of like a turnover, or similar to a Hostess pie, but much better. Homemade and fresh, they are served in wax paper pouch like the old days, instead of plastic or vacuum sealed packaging.We tried coconut cream and it was excellent. I wanted to try the other flavors but unfortunately we already had cherry pie and Uncle Mike's Kringle waiting for us and didn't want to stack too many desserts”

It is small inside with limited selection, but when it's 9:15 pm and everything else around you is closed it's pretty much your only option. The store was clean and the cashier was very kind.”
