You literally cannot miss this Amoco sign, it's unbelievably huge! After passing many times I finally tried them out to top off my tank. The review is for fuel only as I never went inside. No issues processing my card and the pump worked flawlessly. Some minor debris in the area and a gentleman was sweeping it up. They offer washer and paper towels. A solid 4 star experience. This is listed as a landmark because this sign is freaking massive!!! read more

Amoco - Don't stop here - Gas Stations Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Ha ha ha ... this is a big ole sign for a gas station. If you are ridiculously into big ole gas station signs, then maybe give it a 5. If you are just mediocrely into big ole gas station signs, give it a miss. Did you make the trek to it and now have no where to go? 1) Go to the Cheshire Inn - several restaurants with different vibes 2) Go to Forest Park - get your outdoors on 3) watch a movie at the hi-pointe 4) travel up Clayton to Tropicana and get your bowl on 5) travel east on 40 to Macs local eats and get a burger and some red hot ripplet fries Actually ... maybe this big old gas station sign is just the start to an awesome day read more

Be DAMNED all this talk of a foolish sign. Every 5 star rating this place has, is due to this sign. REALLY?? This place was attempting to sell to me a battery I did not need. I know because Triple A came to the station to replace it. The battery was tested, and found to be 100% fine. (If it requires a new battery it's still under warranty for 2 more years). If not for the fact the battery was under warranty, I would have been paying them for a battery I didn't require at all. I paid $506, (and change), for them to replace the alternator. When I informed them the battery was under warranty, and Triple A, would replace it free. They came up with an $80 charge for "something", they said needed to be replaced. In fact they failed to show me the replaced item, (or ask me if I wanted it replaced). It was simply on my bill when I came to pay. I have a feeling I was being swindled. I never would have selected this place for "service", on my car. However the location of this station suited my need, at the time. I could walk from the station, to St. Mary's hospital, where I needed to go, to see someone. I'd recommend looking elsewhere for "HONOST", service station, or Mechanic. This station uses very questionable tactics. Most sincerely, Thomas Plumlee read more

Amoco - The repaired Lincoln Town Car. - Gas Stations Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. The lot is small and hard to navigate. You have to hold the pump and it flows sooo slow.

It is exactly what it says it is. A gigantic Amoco sign. I read about this first when exploring Roadside America before a trip to Saint Louis. We didn't initially intend to stop here, but we were eating lunch around the block at Hi-Pointe Drive In and the fella needed gas. And surprise! Right around the corner is a BP at the foot of the Giant Amoco Sign. Gas is slightly more expensive than other places in town. But it is nearer to the highway and downtown and at a landmark spot, so it makes sense. If you are all about Roadside America or local flavor, you will probably end up here. If you don't much care, there is no reason to go out of your way to come here. Still, I like that kind of stuff. So I am glad we happened upon it! read more

Amoco - Gas Stations Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

STL Yelpers are something like awesome-sauce around here for making the "Giant Amoco Sign" a notable landmark. This is right up my review alley. But I must admit, I am a little shocked this "business" slipped through the cracks of the local Yelp constables screening process. If you're from St. Louis you've seen this sign displayed big as daylight at the intersection of Clayton Rd. & Skinker. Before there was BP there was Amoco and luckily this signage was not compromised. I love it, totally keeps the integrity of the Clayton/Forest Park neighborhood. If you're a visitor and you find interest in billboards & impressive signs...give it a whirl. It's worth the photo opt for sure. ~Christy read more

I've been very nervous the past few weeks because the iconic Amoco sign was being painted over with white paint. Fortunately, all my worries were for naught! Rather than being taken down, the sign was simply being updated because the gas station is no longer a BP - it's once again finally an Amoco station! I finally feel at peace again now that I don't have to worry about this national landmark being removed. read more

Amoco - Gas Stations Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I come here for gas (no repairs or even car washes) because it is so darn convenient. I don't really know how it compares in price to other nearby stations, so maybe this ginormous sign casts some sort of strange spell on normally penny-pinching folks like me... Anyway, no problems usually. Lots of exit points to avoid the some times panhandlers that approach. Well, I guess that's a problem. Usually clean site, no issues. read more

I'm honestly surprised that this sign is still here. A gas station still exists at the site but it's not an Amoco. It's a BP. There's not anything to do here except look at it while you drive by or while you're getting gas. It's just a sign. Afterall, they have museums dedicated to signs. Somehow this sign became a landmark and it's now known as the largest Amoco sign in the world. From this Yelp page, it appears that it's a landmark that makes people happy. Can I ask where the 2nd largest Amoco sign is? Does anyone know? That 2nd largest Amoco sign that just couldn't break the barrier and now it sits on the side of the road crying itself to sleep at night. Does anyone driving by even know it's the 2nd largest Amoco sign? Does anyone care? Dear Amoco Sign, You make people happy. I don't mean to get sappy, but a landmark that makes people happy is okay in my book. Love, Brad PS: Call your 2nd largest Amoco cousin soon! read more

Enter: the most pointless review on the planet, yet one of the most meaningful to Aimee K. I've always wanted to review the giant Amoco sign but never really had a reason because I didn't rely on it, but after many years of wishing and hoping, it's actually the closest gas station to my apartment! How lucky a girl am I?! It's been there for me a few times already -- let me reference two days ago when I started my car and saw that I was three miles to empty. Guess what WASN'T more than three miles away? The giant Amoco sign. Guess who also has coffee, cappuccinos, and hot chocolate (all of which I'll probably never drink but it's charming nonetheless?) The gas station underneath the giant Amoco sign. Guess who has plenty of pumps and not too many assholes using them? THE GIANT AMOCO SIGN. If everything else in my life goes wrong for some reason, at least I can say I live by the coolest gas station on the planet. It's a good life. read more

You know when you're a little kid and you look forward to seeing something as you pass by in the backseat of the car? For me it was a neighborhood dog, a creek waterfall, and a business-fox billboard. However, some 30 years later, I still like to see certain things out of the window when I'm around them and that's where this insanely big Amoco sign comes in. As any online nostalgia list showing Squeez-Its and Crystal Clear Pepsi will prove, nostalgia is a powerful force that makes someone remember things better and cooler than they were. We had an Amoco up the street from us growing up, and then decades later they became BP, which became oil spills and Dick Cheney connections and, well, Amoco just seems way better. This sign also marks that I'm getting super close into STL when I come in and am staying near Clayton or The Loop. That's always a positive. It's also hilariously oversized. I can't imagine them building this thing in the first place but it's a fun, funny and cool oversized landmark. read more

Giant Amoco Sign is quite the neighborhood landmark. I've heard it's the largest of its kind in the world. Definitely visisble from a mile down the interstate, it helped out of towners not miss my exit when I lived in U. City. G.A.S. became 300% more hilarious when the filling station below stopped being an Amoco. Not only is the name now wrong, but the Amoco red white and blue majorly clash with BP yellow and green. read more

Amoco - Gas Stations Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I nearly destroyed my uninsured rental car when I saw this sign and immediately pulled over to take a photograph. I had no idea, but I know that ST LOUIS is the place for old signs, advertising, etc... I bet BP hates/loves this. This is truly a classic piece of kitschy americana. I love it read more

A roadside sign that has been brought down to earth to be emphasized how big it is. It is big. It is fun. This may be the most interesting place to get gas around StL. Bonus, the sign is next to Forest Park. read more

I still don't understand this sign, nor do I understand why I am giving it a 5 star review. I just am. It's a giant sign attached to a gas station. That's it. Nothing special.It doesn't move, light up, sing, or dance. It's just a giant sign. Why am I writing a review? Well, I was stuck at the red light on Clayton Road and when I looked up I saw this giant sign and I swear it was begging me to write a review-so I am. The end. read more

"Giant Amoco Sign," after Dan Quayle. "The Giant Amoco sign has always been a very large landmark in St. Louis. It is in St. Louis. It is part of a gas station that is an island that is right here." Okay, so my review isn't exactly like former Vice-president Dan Quayle's infamous Hawaii sound byte. But the sign does preside over a little concrete island bounded by Skinker, Clayton Rd., and Clayton Ave. It's easiest to enter that little concrete island if you're driving east. And it's not Amoco gasoline you'll find there. But the price is pretty good. read more

For as long as I've lived in Dogtown, whenever people from St. Charles, St. Peters, or any other homogeneous cookie-cutter neighboring region ask me where I live, the Giant Amoco Sign has allowed me to convey it to them. Even after becoming a BP years ago, this great beacon of red, white and blue still stands tall and proud; lit up like a giant metal Christmas tree bordering the city-county skies. Ironic how even BP was wise enough not to dare deface a local symbol.. Must be a land-lock exception..? Thank you, great Giant Amoco Sign for ensuring my highway exit is never missed, and for allowing the Spirit of St. Louis (city) to live on through you. And thank you for always being a total gas, keeping us all pumped and never, ever leaving us fuming. read more

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to review the sign or the gas station here but I'm going to go ahead and take the title literally. Yes, this sign is basically a geographical landmark and is perfect for giving directions to out-of-towners. Have you ever seen a bigger gas station sign? And it's vintage! Ain't no Amocos around here and aint nobody ever gettin' rid of it...I hope. Seriously though, it's pretty cool looking and you can even spot it form the highway. Plus, it actually has a gas station under it. It's kinda annoying set-up but in a convenient location since I'm in this area a lot. 10/10 Love me some Giant Amoco Sign. read more

I grew up in a small town 45 minutes away from Saint Louis City. I remember passing the sign as a child and thinking "Here we are. We're in the city!" I knew I wanted to move to Saint Louis as soon as I was old enough and as a young child that sign was the landmark telling me I had arrived. It's silly and overly sentimental but I would hate to see the sign taken down because it was a symbol of my hope of getting out of a crappy small town when I was young. I do think it is funny that a gasoline advertisement is meaningful to a non-driver though... read more

Boston may have their giant light up Citgo sign in Kenmore Square, but I say we do it one better here with our obnoxiously huge Amoco sign. Why do I say that, you ask? Because unlike Boston, ours has survived even a corporate name change. Oh, and ours is bigger. How many nights has your massive gleaming facade helped to guide me home (or at least let me know where I was)??? For this, ginormous sign, I give you five stars. read more

My roommate and I always said we were going to steal this sign and put it in our apartment. Yes, it's too big for any apartment I've ever had, but still. Al runs a nice mechanic shop below the sign, by the way. read more

I do not have any sentimental attachment to this sign, but I do admit it's pretty neat to look at. I always kind of freak out when I'm getting gas from here thinking the huge sign is going to plummet down and destroy the gas station and the people within its vicinity. Scary!!! Good service and good pricing for the gas though. :) read more

Go America!!! Well crafted made in America, large and kinda confusing piece of iconic history. This amazing monument brings a smile to my face every time I pass by. Like an ice cold beverage on a hot summers day! Cheers! read more

I love driving by this sign! It reminds me of my childhood. Little has changed in this area, but there's something to be said about nostalgia. My fiancé and I always race to see who checks in first, this time I won! read more

I have been to St. Louis twice and both times I stayed off the exit with the Giant Amoco Sign. When I first saw it, I was mesmerized. Is Amoco still a thing? Do they have them in St. Louis? After further investigation, I found out that there is no Amoco. And in fact, it was hovering over a BP station. But through a BP being put in its place, this apparent local landmark managed to stay. As I rode in the car, I was sure to check in at this sign. It is fascinatingly large and colorful. And every time I saw it while riding in other people's cars/taxis, I knew I was close to my temporary home. Thank you Giant Amoco Sign. You will forever be a St. Louis association in my mind. read more

This sign is abnormally large. Whether it started out normal and contracted elephantiasis, or worse, gigantism, I don't know, but dollars to doughnuts something untoward happened to this guy to leave him in the swollen and distended state he now finds himself in. If he was in any other country he'd be stoned for his oversized arrogance but this is 'Murica baby, land of the large! Home of the huge! Long live Amoco! read more

When lost near Forest Park, use the Giant Amoco Sign to find your way back! Lol! And it's actually more than just a sign. There is actually a gas station here and a car wash too. The sign itself is massive, and makes a great photo opp to check off of the "been there, done that" list. However, don't get too excited...after all...it's just a sign. read more

Why 5 stars? Because I can. And because I'm from Saint Louis, and have been looking at this giant semi-beautiful hunk of metal and plastic since I was a small child. An iconic beacon of artificial light telling me we're almost home. read more

Only pure greatness such as this can overcome corporate mergers. They should down trees to ensure its visibility.

Drove to Amoco at 845am and asked the Auto Service Manager if one of the service repair "men" could add air to one tire. I realize this is a free service, therefore I always tip $20 for 2 mins of someone's time. The Auto Manager asked that I wait 10-15mins for a service repair person to arrive. Not sure why one of the two gentlemen already working on cars couldn't step out and assist??? Nevertheless it's 920am and I'm still waiting... read more

It's a giant Amoco sign. Sort of an eye sore really but it's achieved icon status for being the biggest amoco sign in the world.

Loved the review.....................when they spent more money on the July 4th fireworks, you could stand by the sign and see them above the ARCH ! Got the show but not the traffic. read more

Surreal, driving from Clayton towards St. Louis, this sign is amazing. Just a step back in time.

I have remembered this giant Amoco sign from when I was a kid. It is definitely a landmark here in St. Louis and one even visitors get a kick out of. I sometimes stop here for gas and to pick up lotto tickets and the attached gas station is not priced too high, as it's the only gas station in the area. It's also always clean and the staff behind the robbery proof glass are always nice. With that being said you can't walk in to a convenience store, you have to actually ask for what you want. But deal with it because it's on a small lot. read more

When I came back to St. Louis I immediately went here because it is awesome and I missed it

This sign holds a special place in my heart. This was my Uncle's gas station from the late 1940's/early 1950's until he retired in the late 1990's. Go inside the main office and they have pictures of the old "Red Crown Standard" sign that was once there. It is now run by his step daughter and her husband and will always be a proud monument to a man who was well loved by his peers, LC Stevenson. read more
