    Maybe it's the boredom of running a business in Shaniko, Oregon? Maybe tired of the crap that some…read moretourists can deliver? (Oh, I'm sure it's a LOT!) Whatever it is - this is NOT a "friendly place". Think of the Seinfeld "Soup Nazi" sort of experience. There's a gruff old dude who runs the place, and he is NOT friendly. Doesn't say anything at all - even if you say "Hi" - he will just keep staring into space, listening to his talk radio in the background. The place is filled with cigarette smoke - not sure why other than the proprietor smokes. BUT .... if you can deal with all of that? It's a very decent little shop to stop and get stuff you need - snacks, water, POPCORN (from his popping machine), tacky souvenirs, beer, box wine, whatever..... 5 stars for "glad this place is here" and to help offset the otherwise crappy reviews. Considering you're in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, and you can get all this stuff in one quick stop off of Highway 97, what's not to like? Just be aware of what it's going to be like, don't expect more, and get on your way :-) 5 Yelp Stars "for what it is"

    Just happened to hit town when this place was having their grand opening. Self service, unbranded…read moregasoline is all they sell at the moment but it looks like they are building a patio out back so there could be some sort of food service there come next Spring. Odd time of year to re-open a business.... Shaniko is mostly a whistle stop Tourist "Ghost Town"..... popular from Spring to Fall but pretty dead except for a few full year locals during Winter. The owner seemed hospitable enough and was giving kids rides on the fire department "golf cart".... I was happy to see this place open again and always hope that the small businesses in this fun little town thrive. The nearest gas AFAIK is in Maupin if you are heading over the Bakeoven Road. Redmond if traveling south. There are some card lock stations on 97 north. The Hatts in Wasco may still be open. If not, the next gas would be in Biggs, all quite some distance from Shaniko. For the uninitiated, this gas station has been closed for at least ten years... probably closer to 15 years. Maybe even twenty. Suffice it to say that it's been closed for a way long time. So.... the negative, one star yelp reviews posted before October, 2019 and after ~ 2000 are totally bogus. The place was closed so how could anyone there be "rude" or "unhelpful"?
