Best convenience store in Raton. The restrooms are kept…read moresqueaky clean. There's a rather large selection of alcohol including hard liquors like vodka and whiskey. Quite a variety of snacks, candy, and even Krispy Kreme donuts! The soft drink selection isn't large but they have the basics, including tea drinks. They even have flavored syrups to add. The cups don't get very large, stopping at 44 ounce. The coffee tastes great and is always fresh with plenty of add-ons including several types of creamer and artificial sweetener. The staff is always super-friendly, and SMART! They recognize you and will talk to you like a person, not just a customer. There's also a Redbox vending machine out front for your Blu-ray/DVD fix. If you compare this store to some of the grander convenience stores in big cities, you MIGHT be a little disappointed (but just a little). However, for a small town like Raton, you just can't get any better.

Our car battery died on our road trip and we had to walk into town to get some help. We stopped in…read morethis gas station and asked if anyone there could help us. Right away, someone left in their truck to go grab cables from home and the other gentleman standing in there drove us back to our car and jumped it for us. Everyone we encountered was so nice. The lady working at the gas station and the two gentlemen in the building. I didn't catch any names. But thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for helping two strangers out. I didn't have any cash on me so we bought a couple drinks. Needless to say, go give these kind people your business. And thank you again! We will definitely be back!

I never reviewed a gas station before, but honestly the man running this place was just THAT nice!…read moreWe were nearing the end of our cross country trip when the last city's electricity went out. We needed gas and our child NEEDED that bathroom. It was well kept too! With hot water ... which is something I like when I wash my hands with soap. The door said to "pull hard." So my child kept pulling and pulling and then he said in side "we're closed." My kiddo was disappointed but just walked away. A few seconds later we heard the door open and say, "do they just need the bathroom?" So, when we got in he let us all use the bathroom and chatted with us while we waited for each other. Can you say genuine CARE for strangers??? Not something you often see in the world and we (and our bladders) appreciated the kindness that he gave to us. THANK YOU!

Had to wait for gas and thought Wed Dave time by using the ladies room while to other waited for gas. Ladies room has just two stalls and there were four people in front of myself. By the time I was about to go into the stall the person waiting for gas walked in. It was a looong wait. I'd def recommend giving ample time and if you really gotta go, this may not be the place for you.

Never have I stopped at a gas station where every single garbage can was stuffed full! Every. Single. One. So it was unique in that sense. Let's just say we still have our roadtrip trash with us continuing on down the highway. It wasn't exactly clean either. Yet it was absolutely packed so maybe there aren't many options in Raton or maybe they are understaffed. I'm trying to be kind but I can't not rate it two stars. Just a heads up!

Always stop at this gas station for road trips. The bathrooms are cleaned and stocked--sometimes…read morethe bathrooms are closed for cleaning and there is a wait or a need to go to a neighboring business.

But, we hadn't been able to find a breakfast downtown and we were headed home and hungry. There was a nice lady back at the hot trays in the back (you know - aluminum pans of food under a hot light). She was making a BBQ rib sandwich that looked good for the fellow in front of us. When we asked about it - she said we could have one or try one of the sandwiches she had just made and put up front. We did that and - GOOD EATS ensued. Simple food, but very tasty.

And SLU.... don't even get me started. Plenty of Netflix documentaries about people there. Whistle Stop is actually a pretty decent sandwich shop that doesn't rape you like Subway. Last time I ate at SW it was like, $20 for a sandwich and a drink. Should have just went to a sit down for the at much. At Whistle Stop, my meal hits around $12. Never had a problem with the amount of meat on the sandwich. Veggies are all fresh and not "over ripe". Sandwich Artists have all been friendly and offer home town suggestions. And what is Wichita talking about, "man with an accent"?!? Are you racist or something? What a asinine thing to say about someone else.

I picked up two single pack NY Strip Steaks to grill while traveling/camping. I don't know where they source their beef but both of these steaks tasted so good. A taste I thought was long lost buying meat in large chain stores where I live. I would have rated this a 5 but could not not purchase Clorox spray. But it is understandable this smaller store may not stock everything, or perhaps run out of items at times. I will definitely be stopping here from now on.
