No, there is no gas here. But back in 1927, E.F. Boydston built it as a gas station. Later, he…read moredecided to cover its exterior with chunks of petrified wood, perhaps inspired by a similar gas station in Colorado, or by Petrified Wood Park in South Dakota. E.F. covered the walls of his next-door cafe and tourist cabins as well (One of the motor court cabins was supposedly rented by Bonnie and Clyde a couple of weeks before they died). The cafe closed in 1964, the cabins around 1970, the gas station in 1988. They all passed into the hands of Nancy Rosendahl, one of E.F.'s grandchildren. She and her husband Jim, a retired nuclear engineer, told us that "we didn't have the heart to tear it down," and spent the next decade restoring the entire complex to its post-WWII glory days, which they said peaked around 1953. The old gas pumps are still out front but the interior has been remodeled as a personal office. There is parking and the place definitely photographs well. It's interesting and worth a stop to see. I would not have otherwise stopped in Decatur other than to see this. [Review 16104 overall - 284 in Texas - 1609 of 2021.]

One of my favorite aspects of traveling is discovering local food--it's a unique way to connect…read morewith the places I visit. During a recent trip to North Texas to celebrate a family birthday, my brother-in-law (and bestie) insisted I try a burrito from a regional gas station chain. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Gas station burrito? Really?" But if there's one thing I believe, it's that you can find delicious food anywhere. So, as we were heading out of town, we made a stop at Allsup's to try their famous Beef and Bean Burrito. Allsup's is a regional convenience store chain, primarily in New Mexico, West Texas, and Oklahoma, that's been serving up these burritos for over 50 years. With over 400 locations, they sell more than 27 million of these burritos every year. Although they're called burritos, they're more like chimichangas since they're deep fried to crispy perfection. Each Allsup's Beef and Bean Burrito is handmade with slow-cooked beans, beef, cheese, and a special blend of spices, all wrapped up and deep fried. The story behind these burritos is pretty cool too--they started in the 70s when a sales associate decided to deep fry the burritos to boost sales, and the rest is history! So, how did it taste? Honestly, it was the best gas station burrito or chimichanga I've ever had. It's hands-down better than any frozen, fast food, or fast casual version I've tried. The burrito was delicious, crave-worthy, and smothered in Allsup's taco sauce, which was the perfect pairing.

As I was walking to the restroom and looking down at the floor (and luckily I was) I noticed crickets creeping around. I'm not too freaked out by crickets, but I felt that the rest of the establishment was probably pretty filthy. Possibly other insects crawling/eating food items around the store. Yikes! Just think about that for a minute the next time you grab a drink or food item. The bathroom was a typical bathroom at a gas station. It was definitely no Buc-ee's.

The men's was closed for cleaning but it wasn't actually being cleaned it was just blocked off. I politely asked the young woman if I could use the restroom and she said I could not because they had just mopped the floor. I pointed out that the women's restroom seemed available with the door open and the light off and wondered if I could use that one. "WE JUST TOLD YOU WE MOPPED THE FLOORS!!!" (Responded a 60 year ish lady with all white hair and rimmed glasses) I responded oh that one as well?

I ate a burger here many years ago and it was awesome. I was in the area again and went today and…read morewanted another burger but as I looked at the menu, I asked the lady at the register for the restroom location. Instead of answering me, she looked at the owners. The owners looked at me and then said that I cannot use it. There I am, a paying customer wanting to EAT in this establishment and was not given the opportunity to use the restroom (including washing my hands during Covid-19). Not only does the refusal of the restroom bother me but also the owner's manner of denying me use. They did not immediately tell the woman I could not use the restroom. instead they (man and woman possibly a couple) moved over to where they could see me. The man read my hat that says, Disabled Veteran and proud of it. He also look ed me up and down then told the woman I could not use the restroom. Would not even tell me himself and I was right there. I feel that other than it being unsanitary and rude to run a restaurant and not allow paying customers to use the restroom, I also feel that I was denied not because they deny everyone but because they had to look me over to decide if I could use it. I am a Caucasian 63 year old man and the owners are as Asian. I don't know if I was denied because I am white or if I am a Veteran but since the lady running the register had to ask, I assume that some people are allowed restroom use if they pass the visual inspection buy the owners. I feel that I was treated rudely and that my civil rights were violated. If they had to see me before answering, they based their answer on how I looked. In my opinion, these people base their customer service on the race of the customers. They will take your money while denying you the most basic of service. This is my opinion only and may not be correct but I think the average customer would feel the same way if treated the same way. I do not recommend this place to anyone. Zero stars would be my rating if it were available.

Very convenient Gas Station if you are on your way to Dallas…read more We stopped in the station for a quick break after a few hours of driving. This location has all your basic gas station snacks, as well as a Subway. The bathrooms were not very clean and were very stinky. The women's bathroom only has 3 stalls which can cause a little bit of a wait. This Shell location also had a U-Haul renting service, which has a self-service box on the right side of the building. If you have a dog (like me), I would recommend to park on the back of the building because there is more grass and space for your pup to walk and do his business. Overall this is a pretty good Shell location and we will for sure come back on our next road trip!
