Honey, let me tell you what that is the best fried chicken you will ever eat! I never once in my life thought.I would be telling people to go to the gas station to get the chicken, BUT... skip the restaurants if you want fried chicken, go to Keys. You won't regret it. Why are you though you might as well get the red beans and rice too!

It's a normal convenience store in many respects, but a memory from a long-ago Super Bowl visit…read morebrought me back...for the food (the fact that it is literally around the corner from our Airbnb did not hurt, either). The memory in question was about a catfish poboy wherein I ordered it and the cashier washed her hands, dredged a fresh catfish filet through an egg wash and cornmeal, prepped the roll, and voila! It was heavenly. 12+ years later, the menu only said "fish" poboy sandwich. If you're a catfish purist like myself, that's a red flag, so I went with the fried chicken. My wife ordered the Philly cheesesteak sandwich despite the geographical incongruity. Both were outstanding, and I can't recommend the kitchen enough.

The menu is huge with tons of options, so there's definitely something for everyone. I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I decided to try the Shrimp Pasta. Unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite -- it was a little too lemony for my taste and the sauce was pretty watery. It just didn't have that rich, creamy texture I was expecting. My friend and her husband ordered the Hot Sausage Po' Boys, and those looked much better! I've also seen a lot of reviews raving about their Fried Chicken Wings, so that's definitely what I'll be trying next time. Not a total loss -- just means I have a reason to go back and give them another shot!

Same thing-- after I stopped pumping, the machine kept adding up charges for invisible gas. So much for that "calibration" the clerk kept insisting on. That place robbed me of $6 at the pump and lord knows how many other folks, who didn't catch the glitch! Buyers beware, unless you enjoy paying for gas that you never put in your car.

Pepsi & Ruffles - Woo-hoo!…read more SITREP I couldn't ask for more from the Exxon Mini-Mart across the street from Hotel Modern that has got the munchies and beverages I like for cheap! THE SETUP I am not a big fan of hotel temptations & their placement of expensive LITTLE bottles of alcohol & cans of soda in my hotel fridge. Nor the clever product place of little bags of chips and chex mix for $3 in drawers next to my FREAKIN BED! So the way I HAVE to combat this during my stay here is get inexpensive munchie and beverage options to COMBAT temptation in my own room. MUNCHIES GALORE They had all sorts of cool stuff, but I settle on a big bag of ruffles for $4. The BEST deals here, however, were on my Diet Pepsi - I got 3 2LTR bottles for only $4 as well! Will I be able to finish them over the 4 day-stay? MAYBE. But that wasn't the point. Compare that to the little cans of soda and bottles of tea in hotels and other hotel stores ranging upward to $2-$3 themselves. So I'm ready for when I'm thirsty, and for when I get a mid-night attack for something crunchy and salty. And it won't cost me an arm and a leg in room service charges. THE LOWDOWN Props to Exxon 5-1901 for having my crap, at great prices, for when I need it! [P.S. On the Yelp survey question below that asks about "Parking", I'm checking the box that says, "Valet"] ;)

They left an impression this last hurricane season by personally directing traffic to keep it moving efficiently and stopping people from cutting.

Because it is one of the few stations in the area, and it is conveniently located. I guess there isn't much else to say, but what good would a two sentence review be? There is a small convenience store attached to this station. It has the typical items, but the real reason I come is to get gas. I've found it easiest to enter this station when traveling down Magazine in an Uptown direction, but entering from Jackson works well too. If you're in the area and need gas, check out this Shell.
