A Friday Night Home Run at Penryn Grill!…read more This was our third visit to Penryn Grill, and someone suggested we come back on a Friday night for the clam chowder and fish & chips. Let me just say...it was absolutely worth the return trip! First, the clam chowder. My wife gave it a 10 out of 10, and that's saying something because she's a self-proclaimed clam chowder snob. She rarely finds a chowder that can compete with her favorite spots in Monterey. Well...hallelujah--we finally found one! The bread bowl deserves its own standing ovation. It tasted like fresh sourdough that had just come out of the oven--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and absolutely delicious. Normally you finish the chowder and leave most of the bread behind. Not this time. I ate every single bite of that bread bowl. It was simply scrumptious. The fish and chips were equally impressive. They served a huge plank of fish that was lightly battered and cooked perfectly. Too many restaurants hide a tiny piece of fish under a mountain of batter, leaving you feeling disappointed (and overly full). Not Penryn Grill. The fish was fresh, flaky, and outstanding. In fact, it was the first time in our 43 years of marriage that I've seen my wife finish every bite of her fish and chips! The chips were another pleasant surprise. Instead of the usual thick fries, they were thinly shaved, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely addictive. We'd never had them prepared that way before, and they were a home run. Of course, I couldn't leave without ordering what I consider Penryn Grill's signature dish--the shrimp tacos. They are hands down the best around. Perfectly seasoned, loaded with flavor, and honestly worthy of ordering every single visit. The atmosphere was terrific. We loved the live '80s music, the service was fantastic as always, and our waitress graciously endured my terrible jokes with a smile. That's five-star service in my book. As retirees, we're always on the hunt for a place that serves a great meal at a great value, and Penryn Grill checks every box. One tip: If you're planning to go on a Friday for the chowder and fish & chips, arrive between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. They regularly sell out--and after this meal, it's easy to understand why. We'll definitely be back...again!

Bun too small for the stacks of meat! I ordered the brisket sandwich and it was pretty darn tasty…read more The sandwich is overloaded with tender slices with a good smoky flavor. The beer selection and service are fine. When in the establishment, it is easy to forget it is attached to a gas station. Outdoor seating with nice fireplaces are available but this time, it was too hot for me. I will likely return to try out other menu items.

Oh my God this place had the best bathroom (considering it was a gas station bathroom). I can't…read morebelieve I'd ever review a place just because of its bathroom, let alone a gas station. But here I am. All of our kids had to go really bad and I was shocked when I went in there. Clean. Smelled wonderful. It felt like a spa. Even my husband, (who is phobic of public bathrooms) went in, and decided it was so nice, dropped a massive load in there (#2), and came back saying he felt like he was at the Ritz Carlton, and even said that he may now believe in God. Definitely recommend if you need to pitstop for a quick tinkle, but you risk a spiritual experience if you need to do more than that.

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! Side note: Restrooms are a hit or miss on cleanliness and bad odor is why I knocked down 2 stars. Sighhhhh!

I've never been to a Buc-ee's-though I think that might change this summer,maybe…read more Anyways when I stopped at Maverik for the first time out in Rocklin,I was thinking that maybe just maybe this is kind of what a Buc-ee's might look like. I got to admit I love how wide the gas station lanes are outside-this is the kind of gas station I want to frequent always. Walking inside I was really taken aback by the sheer size of the place..I guess I should've figured it out by just looking at the size of the building but yeah I was still surprised. Inside they have so much ready-to-eat food available-so much grab-and-go options but the thing that looked the most intriguing was the brisket wraps-next time I'm there,I will for sure be trying those brisket wraps. They have a pretty killer beer selection as well located in their stand-alone beer locker that keeps the beer ice cold. I can't quite put my finger on it but I just really liked the vibe in that gas station-the employees seemed happy and friendly and everything was super organized and clean. It's one of those rare gas stations where you don't feel like you're just stopping for gas--you actually want to go inside and look around. I can say with some certainty that this is my gas station of choice in the Rocklin area. It's a good one......Now to check out Buc-ee's.

Unless I really need to use the restroom or my tank is running on E, I'm not usually someone who…read moregets excited about gas stations.....but Maverik deserves the shoutout. The store is always clean, and somehow the bathrooms are too--which honestly feels like finding a unicorn at a gas station. They've got a ton of snacks, drinks, and grab-and-go food, so whether I need caffeine, a road trip snack, or an "I forgot to eat today" meal, they've got me covered. And I'll admit it... the burritos are actually pretty good. Way better than my expectations for gas station food. The rewards app is another reason I keep coming back. They always seem to have coupons, discounts, and Freebie Fridays are a nice little bonus. Who doesn't like free snacks? Overall, Maverik makes spending too much money on energy drinks and road trip snacks feel a little more justified. Clean store, good food, great rewards--hard to ask for much more from a gas station.
