This got to be a drag--especially at Miller Time when the traffic is a killer. A coupla years ago, this little gem of a convenience store started carrying a few solid bottles of red and moved on to what is a now an excellent, relatively large selection. They're particularly strong on Spanish reds with some excellent California selections. Cheap and delicious Cristalino is always chilled for those brutal Austin summer days. On average $2-4 cheaper per bottle than Whole Foods and they give case discounts. Talk to the manager if you're looking for something you don't see and he'll order it.

Not a discount gas station, but the price is seem to be in line with the other places around. The store has a variety of items at the price you would expect to pay at a convenience store. I will say that the people behind the counter inside are rarely welcoming, but they're not rude so not going to downgrade this place because of not getting a super friendly welcome.

In my mind, Burnet Road has always served as a centralized corridor for certain types of…read morebusinesses; used car dealerships, mattress shops, and, most recently, fried chicken joints. And while the strip has never had an outsized appetite for Italian cuisine, at least in comparison to downtown & the East Side, I'd posit that Burnet proffers a rather well-rounded pizza presence, especially as of late. In the past decade, Burnet's graduated from merely housing Austin institutions like progenitor Conan's and latecomer Pinthouse; local hotshot Bufalina, and the formidable out of towner DeSano have arrived in pursuit of a piece of the pie. And, while not technically being along Burnet, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Little Deli's slightly lateral location, off Woodrow. In short, if you want to eat good pizza in ATX, you could do a hell of a lot worse than Burnet. Personally, I've never been a pizza guy. But having lived on Burnet for a decent amount of time, I'd been around the block before. And let me tell you, at least up until ~2017, my man Hooshang at the Sunrise Mini Mart was preparing the finest pies on the block. Hot, greasy, fresh, and totally unexpected. Yeah, Sunrise did house pizzas, and they were good as fuck. I don't know if they do anymore ever since Hooshang hung up the apron; I wonder how he's doing. Anyway, now that Sunrise is out of the picture, the best pizza on Burnet is at the Burnet Express. As a licensed purveyor of Hunt Brothers® Pizza, they pump out squares upon squares of what are among some of the finest par-baked frozen pizza parcels ever hawked by a mini mart. Indeed, the Hunt Brothers branded pizza program not only makes foodservice easy to set up, easy to make, easy to sell, and easy to profit from; it's also exceedingly easy to enjoy. Reminiscent of a bastard child between french bread & cardboard, topped with the slightest slathering of ostensibly tomato based sauce, and with cheese that congeals to crispy-chewy perfection over the individualized portions' inevitably hourslong huddle under the heat lamp, I can honestly say that the closer it gets to the USDA's food safety temperature danger zone, the better it tastes. In the words of Bob Marley, don't fuck around and find out--head over to get yourself a chunk'a Hunt today!

Honestly, I'll pay $2-$3 more for a beer here than spending way more to drive to a microbrew in Dallas. It's the "I want it NOW tax." Rookie move: Do not buy the beers you can find commonplace in HEB or Whole Foods. You will pay more. Pro Tip: Use it for beer rarities and never eat the food.
