As everyone has said...this place is a 24 hour lifesaver. It has a great range of essential grocery…read moreitems, like chocolate and ice cream, and always smells like that awesome Subway freshly cooked bread (probably because that resides in the On The Run). Isles are well organised and this place is always clean and fresh. Unfortunately anytime I am here during the day to get petrol the service is painfully slow, yet friendly and with a smile. I have never had the EAT or DRINK options here (aptly named) but they don't look that bad. I would probably prefer to actually pick one of their pre-cooked meals or frozen meals from their freezer section though anyway! On The Run is great for petrol but more so for 10pm at night emergencies of the chocolate craving kind.

For some bizarre reason, it can be really hard for a visitor to Adelaide to do any shopping in the…read moreevening. I mean, the last experience that I had with a supermarket in Adelaide was one that was closing up at 6pm, and I'd arrived just in time to see the doors locked. I mean, seriously? Major supermarket closing at 6pm? In a major suburb? I was pretty incredulous, and after spending eight hours in the car, I was pretty buggered. But I needed stuff, and so ended up spending another half hour looking for a place to shop. That's when I stumbled upon this place. It's a service station, but it appears to be the only place where you can get any shopping done when it gets late. They don't have heaps of stuff, but they've got the essentials. They also have the service station mark up prices, so it's not a good idea to buy everything you need here. It's good to know though, that if I need it, it's there.

There's not much I can say about this petrol station, other than it has exceptional customer…read moreservice. I don't mean the standard level of friendliness you'd expect to experience at any other store; the staff at BP Erindale has some of the nicest people I know. The range of items available in store isn't extensive, but adequately meets your basic needs. The prices are above those of nearby supermarkets, but they do have the occasional special deal (usually on canned drinks or snacks). As part of the On The Run franchise, this service station is open 24 hours a day. As such, it's a convenient place to go when there's nothing else open and you're either suffering from junk food cravings, have run out of milk or bread, or are desperately in need of toiletries and personal care items. When I'm low on petrol, regardless of where I am, I'll do my best to hold off on buying fuel before I reach Erindale. The reason I do this is because it's an absolute pleasure talking to the staff. Even in the early hours of the morning, when people are expectedly at their grumpiest, the employees here are always in high spirits. On many occasions I've had long, meaningful chats with the people behind the counter and they've shared some great stories. I'm equally happy to converse and provide some human interaction, as I can't imagine working the graveyard shift at a petrol station would be overly exciting. If you're lucky and you go while Yogesh is working, stick around and have a chat with him - he's an excellent guy and he'd be thankful for making his day a little more interesting!

To this date I have only run out of fuel once, and most of the time, it is thanks to EZY Fuels on OG road and its locality half way between my place and my parents! Although this is one of my local servos I would travel further if required to get here for two reasons. Firstly it is one of the two cheapest stations in town (the other directly across the road). The second reason is that it is under independent ownership, one of very few around the city. Once in a while there is a story on the local news about the price war between this station and it's rival across the way, and they are consistently the cheapest around...so make sure if you are in the area and need to fill up, get on the local boy.

They always seem to be having choccy specials here, which are impossible to resist at the hours (in the middle of the night) I find myself here. Even though by the next morning I've worked out that my special deal cost me double what I'd pay at the supermarket - damnit! For those looking, I get the vibes here that it's quite the pick-up place, you'll see many furtive glances in the direction of you or other patrons. In a nutshell - Adelaides version of it happened one night!

The coffee is better than most petrol stations (it's not great but it's good when you're they're for a quick snack and pick-me-up). Service is always really nice and they have a fairly well-stocked grocery/convenience section.

As far as eating on the highway goes, this is OK. There is a great range of food from pre-made…read moresandwiches to your usual fried delights and hamburgers sponsored by your local cardiac surgeon, to hot roast meat rolls. What lets this place down is the staff. They can't handle service smoothly when it is busy, and this is quite frequently, especially over summer and the school breaks. Their systems and processes are disjointed and the staff get surly. Nothing flows and quite frequently your order is wrong or takes forever. I would call this a major issue because the prime purpose of a roadhouse is to deliver food reasonably quickly and efficiently. We aren't looking for Michelin Stars just old fashioned country service delivered well. Why do I keep going? The service station it is attached to is very good - the opposite in fact. Efficient service, friendly staff. I use the service station more than I use the roadhouse, so grabbing a bite to eat here is an easy option.

Yeah, I know, this is a service station, and I've noticed that people generally don't Yelp about…read moreservice stations at all. However, this isn't your ordinary, everyday city service station because it also contains a roadhouse - the Coolabah Tree Cafe. Actually, the roadhouse isn't all that fantastic, and I wouldn't expect good coffee, or a fancy breakfast offering if you stop by here because, well, it's a truckstop. So, the question if why do I come here? Well, as it turns out when we drive to Melbourne we always stop here. In fact I can't remember a time when we have simply driven past, or gone to one of the other places. Sure, it isn't fantastic, but at least I know I can get a decent breakfast.
