A Hidden Gem Worth Finding!…read more My wife and I recently took a little lunch field trip to Penryn Grill, and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be! From the moment we walked in, the hostess made us feel welcome. She did a fabulous job greeting us, making recommendations, and helping us navigate the menu. Our waitress was equally impressive--friendly, efficient, attentive, and genuinely kind throughout our visit. At first glance, some people might overlook Penryn Grill. It's tucked away next to a service station, and many might assume it's just another roadside dive with average food. Nothing could be further from the truth. This place serves high-quality food with outstanding service and a relaxed atmosphere. Following the hostess's recommendations, my wife and I decided to share several of the restaurant's most popular items so we could sample a little bit of everything. The shrimp tacos were absolutely fantastic and completely lived up to the hype. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, they were easily one of the highlights of our meal. Next came the fried pickles, which were our way of testing the waters. They had a crunch similar to fried zucchini but with even more flavor. Add a little ranch dressing and you're in business. Crispy, slightly spicy, and packed with flavor, they hit the palate with a bang. We also ordered the Penryn Burger, made with a delicious short-rib patty and all the fixings. It was juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Another home run. The outdoor patio provided a great setting for lunch, complete with good music and a relaxed atmosphere. It made for an enjoyable afternoon and a memorable dining experience. The food was fantastic, the service was excellent, and we will definitely be back. One final insider tip for my fellow retired folks: Friday afternoons between 2:00 and 4:00 seem to be a great time to stop in. We've heard the fish and chips and chowder are local favorites, and they'll be at the top of our list the next time we visit. Penryn Grill is proof that you should never judge a restaurant by its location. This hidden gem is absolutely worth the stop!

The beer selection and service are fine. When in the establishment, it is easy to forget it is attached to a gas station.

The fueling area is generally well-maintained - clean and operational. Some stations seem to have perennial problems with out-of-order pumps or empty windshield washing supplies and so on... I don't recall ever running into such a problem here. When I go inside to grab a snack or drink, I've always received good service from the attendant - definitely a step above the average attendants at some other stations I've been to.

So this specific Shell Gas Station is kinda an interesting gas station. The only reason why, is…read morebecause the store is well-lit, A/C works upon entrance and isn't hot, they have numerous drinks to choose from to quench your summer thirst to stay chill: alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, liquor), non-alcoholic beverages (juice, soda, water, tea, energy drinks, coffee). Namm sayinn.. Snacks wise is subpar, but I prefer Costco Snacks, it is more flavorable and easy on the pocket. Quite to my surprise, they also sell dairy (milk/yogurt). Like, who buys milk or yogurt at a gas station? LOL! Other than that, good gas, but is somewhat expensive compared to Costco Gas, but the quality of gas is easy on the car compared to other cheaper gas stations. My engine will thank me in the long run, yo. Other than that, they also sell Lotto Tickets and Scratchers, and the jackpot for lottery tickets for Mega Millions, Super Lotto, and Powerball lottery are updated quite often after each loss when no winner has won the jackpots for each category yet--Like me! Other than that, best place to go to get your lottery tickets. And GOOD LUCK California Residence. May the odds be always in your favor!

Bad management at Maverik has resulted in high prices, especially on "old" food. They constantly run out of soda (without appropriate signage). A bathroom stall has been out of order for over three days. It took me 10 to 15 minutes to get the TP out of the remaining stall dispenser, while the two employees are gabbing at the kitchen while I appeared to be the only customer at 1:15 am. Pumps are often not working and run out of receipt paper. Sadly, a strawberry blonde night manager was the last straw. After angrily telling her my situation, she became hyper defensive and out of line with absolutely no people skills whatsoever. That inspired me to write this post!!!

Whoever built it clearly doesn't understand car dimensions. I drive a Mazda CX-5. It's not that big. I barely fit. I couldn't back out once I started to go because the entrance is so narrow I would have seriously damaged my car. My car is brand new. I was having a panic attack driving into it. The rails are so narrow. I almost scraped my rims. I do not understand why they are there. Also the height is 7 ft. Thankfully my Mazda is under that, but for a second I thought, I really hope it is! Once the car wash finishes and you have to drive through the blowers, beware! Literally no room. Almost scraped my side mirrors. And it wasn't like I was so far over to one side. It's a tiny car wash. Dangerous. I'll never go back through. The owners should put a fat warning sign and honestly only tiny cars should use it. Poor design! There's just not many touch less ones around it's right by my work.
