All I ever expect out of convenience store is parking (check), cleanliness (check), and service (double check). I zipped in for my coffee, went to the counter and was greeted by a young man who asked how my day was going - putting some sincerity to the tone of his voice. This was a very pleasant experience, and I highly recommend this Kwik Star. Here's a pick of me enjoying my fine brewed Karuba (love it) coffee with a great song for the road.)

I had to wait an extra 15 minutes, ordered all white meat, got the standard mixed. Mashed potatoes no gravy were brown and had a bad taste like they were burnt-inedible. I would have been better off not ordering ahead as they had chicken available and better looking potatoes that were in the warmer with no waiting. Pretty disappointing experience

Where a $2.50 service fee has become common place it's nice that they offer this. $200 max withdrawal per transaction, but there's usually two machines and you can make multiple transactions if needed. Grab a Faygo soda from their selection and some chicken tenders on your way out!

Always fresh, and if I haven't brewed coffee at home already, the coffee is great too, as it's freshly ground.. The store has everything. I swear a person could live on groceries purchased there. The usual: milk, eggs, bananas, bread, chips, but they have potatoes, onions, ground beef, I could go on and on. I haven't tried them, but I hear their fresh fried chicken strips are the best. Oh yeah, try their soups too! Always a friendly staff, and on this morning, Heavenly waited on me and was SO pleasant. Good job Kwik Star!

There aren't many fast food or to go food places that have soup. This place does. My favorite is the chicken wild rice, but on this day, they didn't have any left, so chicken dumplings it was for me! I got the 12 oz size. The kids are so well fitting, that I was able to put this in a bag to take to car and no leaks! Grab the croutons for extra flavors. 5star for a bowl of soup? You bet! This was something I was craving and readily accessible and available on this day. Lots of chicken, dumplings. Great amounts of herbs. In fact, I'm craving it again as I write this. Are my tastes simple? Maybe. But that soup was perfect for them. I do go to many fast food places, but can find the treasures in each one. Lot parking here. Friendly staff.
