Ordered food, got to watch them cook it fresh. Plenty of options. There's indoor seating & outdoor seating. Loved their fountain drinks options.

But each time after that it was just sad. The grands lived up in NE Texas so of course we were required to stop for the kids if they were in the truck. The last sandwich I had was a soggy mess on what looked like bread but tasted like cotton balls. Those nuggets reminded me a lot like Crunch n Munch but with a horrible aftertaste even their weak "coffee" couldn't wash away. It's been years since we've been back so I don't know if it's still true but it seemed to me those times that the greater portion of their branded merchandise and other "Texas" souvenirs were made in China. On that strip of I45 North there are other stops with a much more genuine Texas atmosphere and food. Try them instead. (photo from 2015)

They have a Starbucks on the premises and my husband got a coffee to go. I used the rest room. The bathroom is usually very clean, but think there was a bad smell in there yesterday. The cleaning crew was in there, so maybe they would have taken care of the smell too if I have been there a while Later. They have lots of the usual stop n go stuff for sale candy, fountain drinks and coffee. But what caught my eye were these cute animal booty/non skid slippers. They were so cute -wolf ones, bear ones and others including college team inspired ones. Wish I had had my camera with me when I saw them.

I will continue to comment and post about the dangers of this gas station because I have small children and I am a woman with great concern for my safety and the safety of others. This gas station WAS using an industrial lock on the outside of the women's restroom! Under no circumstances should ANY women traveling alone or with small children stop and use the facilities! You are in great danger. I have VALID concern! I will NOT be using this gas station!

This location is comparable to the size of any "normal" convenience store. Think 7-11 and the like. Again, though it's smaller, they've got all the quick grabs we know and love. Great service.

Im going to be harsher on the rest drop than others because Buc-ee's has set the bar so high…read more I grew up around smaller Buc-ee's and was in shock went I saw my first Gas Pro Shop mega location. This Giddings spot is tiny but mighty with a small deduction of the normal beaver fare, clean restrooms and drink stations, and a fair amount of pumps. However, they lack the quality I have come to expect. Specifically, the coffee station gained my ire this time. The last 2 times I have stopped here, the coffee was bad. Like Circle K bad. Burnt and tasteless. And they lack the space for the cold creamers to hide the flavor. The carafes are too low to fit a large cup under so you have to tilt them, risking hot coffee split across your hand. At least it isn't as hot as McD's.

My 4 stars come from the gas and car wash...I read previous reviews about the prices not being marked and went to check for myself...they are not marked. Very strange. I asked the attendant about it and he said the manager thinks prices change too frequently to make it worth marking it...super dumb. Despite that...the gas station is clean...bathroom included...with a decent variety. Now a tip for the gas is that you can get discounted gas if you purchase a car wash (to be used at the adjacent gateway car wash)...I always go here when I want a car wash and also want to fill up. Today I got the $14 car wash and my gas was only 2.84 a gallon. A great deal if you want your car washed too...and the car wash is great too because they have free car vacuums with rug beaters and rags and stuff...all free to use with a car wash... So...maybe not the place to purchase snacks and stuff because of the lack of pricing...but great for car wash and gas.
