You have a woman there, short blonde hair with glasses whose life work it seems is to make sure these are rung up properly. Tonight she was cleaning up in the area by the nitro, as I filled my mug she watched me, never said hi or acknowledged I was there. I asked her if I was in her way for the garbage can or sink In the corner and she never responded. She watched me go from the dispenser to the register, watching me like I was a thief, calling the cashier on her radio to make sure it was rung up as a nitro, which it was. I made a comment to the cashier about it and left before I made a scene.

Who knew that my rental car (Toyota 4 Runner) took over 17 gallons to fill up. But with Iowa's…read moreethanol fuel subsidy, the per gallon price was a little better than back home. So as a gas station, this place does what its supposed to, including getting in and out efficiently. One thing the Kwik Star chains have going for them is an impressive array of road snacks, including sweet rolls/donuts that would match a stand alone shop. I also appreciated the clean restrooms and a decent cup of coffee for the road.

The gas is our top pick. Convenient store is the cleanest store in all of Des Moines. It's too bad we don't have more Kwik Stars in the city. My family enjoys the large variety of drinks. We will definitely be back!

What makes this location great is that they are a step ahead of the rest of the competition in the…read moreAmes area. The reason for this is that they have the NFC readers embedded at the pump. This means that consumers can use Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Fitbit Pay, etc, without having to go inside the gas station. Although Casey's and Kim and Go have NFC at the registers inside their gas stations, none of them have it at the pump. Right there, that's the way how pumping gas should be done and it shows that at least this Phillips 66 location is committed to the future over not just pumping gas, but paying for items in general.

In between, was the Lake, several days of fresh sweet corn, long walks, wonderful art, good micro-brew, the Iowa State Fair, soft serve ice cream, and reconnecting with old friends. All this was made possible through the use of my Parent's Toyota Camry, of which Dad takes excellent care. Filling up the tank and having the car washed here at this Swift Stop was the least we could do to show our appreciation.

Not a bad little gas station/convenience store at all! On a road trip from Omaha to Minneapolis,…read moreand this was a great spot to gas up, stretch the legs, and grab some refreshing beverages. The restroom was nice and cool and clean to boot. Plenty of snacks to choose from, plus toiletries, and a decent beer cooler. Bonus there are quite a few restaurants nearby if you're out for epic meal time. Main qualm: A bit of a jut off the interstate and a bit of jut from downtown Ames. Not their fault. Great job, folks!

Awesome looking produce everything was really fresh. I got the feeling the owners care. Very clean place and the kid running the check out was fun to talk with, he had huge smile while he worked. I was super impressed with the meat counter. Cuts you would never see at the chain store without asking to have them specially cut. I realize you have to have higher prices to keep a small store open in a small town. Their attention to the customer has won me over and I will stop back in.

We had limited time as we planned to cross into Canada and had to do so within 72 hours due to Covid testing requirements at the border. Bosselman couldn't take us on Saturday but offered to see what they could do on Sunday morning first thing. We were there about 1/2 an hour early and all their staff showed up at least 15 minutes before they opened. Right at 9 they took our coach in and within 1 hour Mark diagnosed the issue, changed the gasket, checked all the plugs and bolts and had us on our way. We are so thankful that they were able to help us and that the work ethic in the Midwest is alive and strong. That certainly isn't the case in many other places! Thank you to all the employees and to Deb for helping us out.

I come here fairly often, as it's conveniently on my way home from work and on Lincoln Way. As it…read moreturns out, they have some REALLY good burgers and roller grill items. A regular hamburger is $4.50, cheeseburger $5, bacon cheeseburger $5.50. Why are these burgers so good, when they are on a heated self serve section? They are HALF POUND burgers! Today, I got the cheeseburger-granted, they don't have tomatoes or onions, but I was able to eat a generous sized, fresh tasting burger, with ketchup, relish, mayo and mustard, for a really good price, as compared to any fast food place(McDonald's quarter pound cheeseburger isn't as good and their regular hamburger sandwiches are only 1/10 pound per burger) As for the roller grill items, try their cheeseburger, if they have them out. VERY good. Friendly staff here. It's clean. Plenty of parking. Prices were within fast food range. MarcyDiner'sTantrumScale 5/5- NoScreamingKids. And, most importantly, CyHawkApproved.
