Such a logical point of this triangle and forever left out of the national psyche. This Shell station is part of the Woody's Smokehouse Empire. They almost always have gas that is $0.10 or even 20 to 25 cents cheaper than all of the stations up and down the highway. They also caused the Chevron across the street to have really low gas prices. They have plenty of pumps on both sides of the highway and it's hard not to give them 5 stars.

My wife and I decided to go try it and was shocked at just how great this burger is. The burger was also huge, half pound patty and large toasted bun. My wife and I could have easily have split this burger. The fries are also great. They are very crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Great flavor too! They offer fries, curly fries or wedges. The burger is $7.49 and .50 for cheese. The best value is to get the basket with fries and a drink. Two cheeseburger baskets with drinks and fries was $22 but worth every cent.

What most maps won't show however, is that this particular station is located in an elevated lot, which is essentially the roof of Woody's Smokehouse - Northbound (#1) directly across from the Shell gas station (#2). While the restaurant / gas station is located on St. Mary's St just off of I-45, one will still need to turn into N Fwy Service Road and drive up a slight incline hill to reach the lot. The supercharging site has a dozen Tesla stalls charging at 250kw along with another dozen stalls dedicated to Rivian vehicles. The lot is expansive -- great for space but less so when heat is bouncing off the concrete in full force. The other bit of good news? Woody's Smokehouse is kind of cool. Without going too hard into a review, they've got a good mix of spacious bathrooms, souvenirs for last minute gifts, and a nice selection of BBQ and comfort foods. I'm never going to be mad about stopping to charge the vehicle while perusing all there is to see at Woody's. Not all charging stations / rest stops are created equal but I have to give this Centerville stop a thumbs up for being more than adequate. It's not too crowded and there are bins for garbage disposal. Iny my book, it is a legit destination for charging, resting, and feasting. ___________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/woodys-smokehouse-northbound-centerville (#2) Not to be confused with the *other* Woody's Smokehouse that is *also* next to a Shell gas station about 100 feet away.

But because of the traffic that comes here for the Jerky and the Barbecue and the low gas prices at Woody's/Shell, they probably get a lot more gas sales then the average Chevron up and down this highway from HOU to DAL. Not my fave hwy, but definitely the best place to get off said hwy. Anyway it's a good gas station with dirt cheap prices for gas

Poor service -- definitely needs improvement…read more I understand there is apparently a sign at Big Madre Tacos & Tortas stating not to walk away from the counter after placing your order. However, I honestly did not see the sign. I simply walked over to the cooler to grab my drink and immediately came right back. There was no one else in the restaurant, so I was surprised that instead of simply letting me know about the policy, they had already wrapped up my tacos without finishing them the way I specifically wanted them. What made the experience even worse was hearing the employees laughing and talking about the situation afterward. I could clearly hear the conversation, and it came across as very unprofessional and disrespectful toward a customer. If there's a policy, that's fine, communicate it to customers instead of assuming everyone saw a sign. And regardless of the situation, customers should be treated with professionalism and respect. DO BETTER.

In addition to the usual snacks and drinks, they also have a neat selection of gifts and some local canned produce. I thought the pickles and peaches were a neat touch and they are reasonably priced.
