I just wished they provided Hot sauces; would be even more wholesome.

There are more than enough pumps available here, and it's huge on the inside with huge and exceptionally clean restrooms. If Buc-ee's has a competitor this might be it. The employees are friendly here as well. It was a nice break from the road for a minute.

Update: forget what I said previously about this place. This pineapple upside down cheesecake that…read moreI got is the best thing I've ever eaten. I hope that I am able to find this place and buy more. My husband is very concerned because it is very delicious and he knows that I will be dragging him out here in the middle of nowhere to eat this cheesecake. Wow. 10/6/24 Cons: I was a bit annoyed because the sign on the freeway so there was a gas station. But once you exit and realize that it's 2 miles down the road and there's nothing else in the area. My husband chose not to turn around get back on the freeway. It's a smaller gas station, but there seems to be other shops surrounding it. The signs in the bathroom are really weird. Which made me think something strange happen there? The signs all pertain with how there should not be any feces on walls. if there is feces anywhere but in the toilet you will be responsible for cleaning. Pros: small, but clean bathrooms. Interesting selection of prepared foods and desserts. We got a pineapple upside down cake to eat tomorrow.

The best gas station in this town! They are friendly and they try to help whenever they can!read more
