If you do a search on Google Maps for nearby gas stations, the search results aren't Shell, 76, Mobil or Chevron. This one came up as search return hit number 2. I thought the name was odd for a gas station but better to not be stuck in the middle of nowhere which had already happened to me earlier this week. (Thanks, Oregon potholes!) Just driving through Maupin is a trip. Like so many other small towns I've seen so far in the state of OR, they're like time capsules unto themselves. Isolated and existing much as they have over the years without succumbing to big box corporate mundanity. If you drive too fast, you might miss this tiny service station. I loved looking at their two pumps enough to take a pic along with the sticker art nearby. :) The guy who pumped the gas was super nice and mellow. $39 for a regular fill-up for my rental Corolla.

The old schoolhouse and the federally-funded interpretive center across from the County Courthouse were particularly interesting. And of course the kids had a good time digging for fossils back behind the high school. I don't normally leave reviews of gas stations. But I wanted to recommend that you fill your gas tank here during your visit for 3 reasons: 1 - The service was great. The kid who worked there was friendly, and the fuel pump is the old style with the gauges that roll upwards. It's been quite a while since I've seen those, and this may be one of the last working pumps of that style I've seen around. 2 - The price was fair, especially for being a monopoly in a small town with no other options around. 3 - When you see the charge on your credit card statement, it will read "Fossil Fuel". Seriously. :)

I'm always wary of people's reactions to out of state travelers (we are from California), but we got zero attitude from this shop. Emergency, or routine maintenance, I'd highly recommend!

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"

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"?
