Let me start by saying this place is NOT a regular gas station or store. When you walk in, you step…read moreback in time and that's what I love most about it. It has charm and character you won't find in a Shell or Speedway. There is usually a group of regulars hanging out at the front chatting. The store is surprisingly large but dark and pretty dusty. The variety of items on the shelves is actually pretty funny and some of them look like they have been there for 40+ years. The couple that runs the place keeps a notebook with all transactions hand written in it. You can get homemade deli sandwiches on the super soft white bread that sticks to the roof of your mouth when you take a bite. Nothing fancy but it's nice to get lunch for 2 for less than $10 anywhere these days. They serve breakfast as well but I haven't made it in to try that yet. They also sell fuel but you can't pay at the pump. I would find that annoying some places but it just makes sense here. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of places left like Shelton's.

I asked for a take-home box (so I could heat the pancakes at home) and politely told the girl that everything was cold & suggested she tell the cook. She smiled sweetly. I think she may have thought I said "everything was good". Needless to say we won't be having breakfast here again. :(

Prices were good! So many beautiful home good things, I wanted to take everything home!!! So clean and organized, the employees were so nice. The bathrooms were huge and immaculate. The BBQ. DAYUM. So delish!!! I loved my brisket sandwich. They're known for their fudge and it didn't disappoint. We bought candy, jerky, pudding, sandwiches, sodas and lots and lots of souvenirs.

What in the ever living heck? I walked into this place thinking it was a Shell gas station…read moreconvenience store, and stepped into a huge grocery store slash restaurant. I later learned that it's a Shell gas station IGA grocery store hybrid. It looks very unassuming from the outside, but it's almost bordering on a gourmet grocery (or gourmet for the area). I visited mostly for the restrooms, which they don't have many of (only two stalls), but it's fine. Walking around, they have aisles of groceries -- almost everything you could need. They also have a frozen section, a "beer cave," lots of snacks for the road, coffee and other stuff. There's also a chicken restaurant inside, with lots of tables to sit and eat there. The store was clean and very organized, and it was a pleasant experience to visit.

I think that's bullshit and yall are cheap asl for that, the lady said "they'll charge you full price" for a cup im not evening going to use other then for water. It's not abt the 1.96 i can pay that it's the fact yall are that cheap over a literal cup , probably doesn't even cost 1.96 to make it. Yall are alrdy over priced as is now you're being stingy abt cups, sad world bro get it together actually. I feel there's bigger issues than charging sb almost 2 bucks for a single small cup just to drink water out off. also THE SODA MACHINE IS LITERALLY OUT OF ORDER LMAOO couldn't even get a drink if i wanted ‍.

The store owners wife yelling at my 10 yr old and my 13 yr old to "NOT PLAY WITH THE TOYS UNLESS THEY ARE BUYING THEM".hahah don't play with the toys hahah. 1st- don't try to correct my children. If you have a problem with them talk directly to me. I'm literally standing 2 feet from you as you were taking my order. It was the first time in my 20yrs of being a father where this sort of thing happened. 2nd- if you don't want kids to try out the toys maybe put them somewhere close to counter or maybe don't sell toys as it's obvious you don't like kids lol. JUST STAY AWAY...THESE PEOPLE ARE TOXIC and from the other reviews they don't discriminate and are jerks to all types of people lol. Horrible horrible people that give southern hospitality a horrible name. Most people from Tennessee are good people. These two are not good people. Not even slightly below average people. These people are bottom of the barrel people. Hal B Rockvale TN June 8, 2025
