    The Pine Valley Store is a classic middle of nowhere, Mom n Pop store. We stopped here a couple times for last chance gasoline before heading up into the mountains. They have all the same stuff that you would expect from any other convenience store. Maps, beer, liquor, chips, candy, gum, cigarettes, pornorgraphic magazines, jerky, etc... Apparently, they also have an in store deli, however, the menu was very limited. You are probably better off bringing your own food, and hitting them up for drinks and chips. The counter lady was pretty helpful with giving us information about local trails and hikes. She even set us up with some "California Adventure Passes" that are required if you want to park and go exploring in the Cleveland National Forest. The pass was 25 bucks, which was good for a year. They will throw in a second pass for an extra 5 bucks. This makes a nice gift for nature lovers. Directly behind this store is a MASSIVE place to chill out and eat or let the kids loose on the playground. The park is called the "Pine Valley County Park." Again, it is huge and has plenty of free parking as well as some fairly clean restrooms. If you are like me, you will find the Pine Valley Store to be a lifesaver if you are low on gas, and want to pick up some snacks before a hike. They also have tons of impulse items at the counter, which I always like. Don't be too quick to pass them up, as they are the only game in town.

    Today may 13th 2026. Ramco is a local gas convenient store…read morein Julian California on main street. I been going in once in a while now for the last 7 year. Stopped in today to get a soda pop Dr pepper. They have everything from pizza to ice cream. Beef jerky ice gas propane. Oil. The staff and owners are always professional and polite. They make you feel welcome and treat you like family. Yes i highly recommend them and I will always visit and go here. Thank you Ramovo staff

For those who don't know, this is basically the last gas station before Borrego Springs, or your last chance before hitting I-8 near Alpine (unless you wait for Viejas). Because of how remote it is, yes, the gas is pricey--but that's to be expected out here. Now let's talk about the real highlight: the store itself. I went in to grab an energy drink and a sandwich (which, by the way, they have a surprisingly great selection of both), and ended up witnessing what can only be described as pure chaos. There was an older gentleman ahead of me having trouble with his credit card, and the clerk seemed a little unsure of how to handle it. While I was waiting in the quickly growing line of people, a group pulled up in a Jaguar yelling, and suddenly a heavy-set woman waked from the car in the store and started rushing around and yelling "RAT"--next thing you know, she's knocking things off shelves, pushing through people, yelling "KILL IT!" while everyone else is trying to figure out what's going on. Meanwhile, some man from that same car is yelling about a "Habibi" across the room to what looked like the manager or owner. And keep in mind--the store is pretty small, so this all felt even more crazy. On a practical note: I wouldn't recommend trying to squeeze a large RV in here, although it is possible if you use the outer pumps near the road. Also, expect lines for gas, especially during busy tourist times--it's a popular stop for a reason. Overall, it's a great place with everything you need, plus a little unexpected entertainment. Definitely worth the stop--just be ready for anything!

    Back again and still very happy with the food and service! Got pizza last week, had breakfast also…read moreand this week we had burgers & fries. Food is made fresh and is quite good! The staff are always welcoming and the dining area is clean.

    I am hiking the PCT and I was hungry... man. Did I come to the right place. I don't talk prices,…read moremost of the time - when it comes to food, I barely look at prices. This is about being satiated. I came hungry and left satisfied but slightly angry that I couldn't try more things, lol. MY ORDER: Chicken tenders and fries... and THE BONUS ROUND: I also picked up a bag of Lays classic chips, Hostess Donettes and a PayDay King size candy bar. Oddly enough, I didn't try a malt, but hold on cowboys... I haven't left yet. Okay... I bought a vanilla malt too, lol. What kind of a reviewer would I be if I didn't? I am an obsessed foodie and when it comes to malts I like a super thick malt. Lesser milk than a shake,.a lot of ice cream and a seriously potent malt flavoring. The best to me is the straight malt from the YELLOW Ovaltine container (no cocoa product used). The Carnation malt is pretty weak. I am sure there are others. I am not sure what they used though. It was tasty, served up fast, but it just was.not what I expected in both consistancy and flavor. Definitely didn't detract from my 5 star rating. Oh and the resupply food items for backpackers is amazing. Oh and they even had Leukotape and fuel canisters. Bravo! Running the place were Frank and Valerie and they couldn't have been nicer folks. And the people of the area shppping this store are so kind and friendly. One lady even gave me a sample of a powdered drink mix she likes.
