Yelp Challenge 2016: 104/116. First of all...it's actually an ARCO gas station. What I love…read moreabout this location is several things: it's a few hundred feet from the entrance to the 5 South freeway, they have the lowest prices in the area and they have a mini-mart. This ARCO is always clean and well-lit and as a single lady, I feel safe getting my gas here. That's important. As with most gas stations these days, it's less expensive if you pay with cash rather than a debit or credit card. You cannot pay cash at the pump anymore with those machines that you feed bills into...you have to walk into the mini-mart. But you can pay with debit or credit at the pump. There is always water and squeegees for washing your windows if you've got too many squished bugs on your windshield. All the pumps I've used work without a glitch, so it's an easy drive in, quick fueling and out again.

This location is clean enough, easy to come in and out, a tad more laid back than other gas stations. I was in the area recently and put some gas in the car because it was convenient and more reasonably priced. Plus, I always liked their logo! Has character!

Usually one of the best deals in the area just under three dollars a gallon. At the intersection of Victory Blvd and Woodman Ave diagonal from a Shell station and across from a small plaza. The Dino Mart is pretty clean and the woman usually on duty is very nice. They have plenty off pumps and room to maneuver in and out. The air and water machine works fine just needs some tlc and gets neglected because it's on the edge of the far side entrance off Woodman heading up to north to Victory. Never any issues here, good service and very smooth in and out majority of the time.

Nice clean local neighborhood mini mart in the thick of Burbank off Burbank Blvd and Reese not too…read morefar off from Victory Blvd intersection close to the 5fwy. I strolled in for a refreshment on the weekend and the store is very clean and well laid out with a ton of wine, beer and spirits about. They have glass divider at checkout and have some decent health and safety procedures in place (mask are required). The owner was personable, but not really friendly if that makes sense. I tend to walk around a lot and usually with a backpack of satchel making any purchases easy to carry. I guess he was a little "fearful of my backpack knocking into things, even though this never happened. Since I was the only customer at the time I felt like I was being watched like a hawk. The really surprising part about Reese is they have an adult video section in back of all things. I guess they're going for the full service shopping experience. The snacks are terrible overpriced here but I got some things to support this local business. Not sure I'd stop in again, but also will be a little more aware of the little things here. The parking lot is pretty easy as is street parking.

Generous "3" stars. Really a 2 to 2.5 all things considered. I've always found the main owner…read moresuperficially "nice" but I never feel really welcome or comfortable in his presence. He always seems to be doing something more important than serving you, in the back room or somewhere else, that he's had to begrudgingly break off from to help you. The younger guy who works back there some days is just the same-----with a military stiffness and a "let's-get-this-over-with" flair to the transactions he handles. He always calls me "sir" if he calls me anything-----not sure if he's the owner's son but I wouldn't be shocked to find out he is. My wife, being the generous good-hearted soul she is suggested Burbank Reese as a stop-off-for-wine-and-beer place before we've gone to parties several times, and there was nothing about the experiences that would incentivize me to ever do it again. The last time we did this we were checking out the wines in the cooler waaaaay in the back of the store and the owner was suddenly interested in us--------not as a sommelier but to keep an eye on us in the most obvious and obnoxious way in case I wanted to stick bottles of his wine down my pants and up my wife's party dress so we could leave without paying. (We've owned a house in Burbank for 12 years and don't steal.) We bought 2 pricey bottles and a 6-pack anyway but as far as I'M concerned, it's buh-bye to this place as far as any future liquor expenditures are concerned, especially since the owner was very *blah* about the fact that we just spent $60 in his store. P.S. If you like the lottery, they have a big display of Scratchers right in your face at the front counter, but the owner doesn't give you the impression he enjoys dealing with them or the lotto games. Also they have a Scratchers machine next to the main entrance that is unplugged most of the time. (To save electricity?) When I asked the owner why it's unplugged his answer was something like: "the tickets are all the same." ALL THE SAME??? What if there's a $10 million winner in the unplugged machine?

I was hoping that they might have had few produce options, but unfortunately they didn't. Some liquor stores/markets do. That's ok because the customer service and clean ambiance is totally worth it and made up for it. Clean, somewhat big store, long hours and few spots were left for me to park my car. Very helpful, happy employees at this liquor store. They also have fine liquor. However since I am an occasional drinker, I didn't buy any alcohol. Thank you Allen and the rest of the employees.

Chuck's Corner Market + 76 Gas Station is right off the 5 FWY on the corner of Burbank Blvd & San…read moreFernando Blvd. They've got a friendly crew inside and lot of great grab and go items. I sometimes pop in when in the area, rarely for gas because they're on the higher side, especially lately. Though it's surprisingly easy getting in and out, even during rush hour. Terminals are easy to use, and like the inside the outside is well kept up. Love to ride metro a lot, sometime to the town center or the shopping center for Sprouts near here. Good place to pop in for a snack, cold beverage, small meal or treat, especially on a warm day. Got lucky on a scratcher, so might be doubling back as they are a lucky retailer. ATM inside and available. Open every day like most 76 and service stations, and I believe they operate 24 hrs throughout the entire week.

I love spots that make you fall in love with the place because of the people behind the business. They have a variety of drinks that I don't always see at other liquor stores so I got to try something new. I was also told that they are in the middle of renovations so I'm excited to see how it looks afterwards. They said they want the place to feel more open and inviting which would really match the vibe of the people running this place. I'll definitely be back!
