Come for gas and a Slush Puppie, stay for dinner!…read more
Fuel & Food is a Sunoco station, convenience store, and deli that is also a hub for hunters and fishers. In addition to their ample beer selection, bottled drinks, basic foodstuffs, fishing and hunting supplies, and deli, they also have good hot foods, good enough for this gas station to be one of my father's favorite restaurants.
Before you start picturing him leaning over the checkout eating a hot dog off the roller grill, I should mention that they have a side room with a few booths and tables and will bring your food out to you. And, in terms of food, they have quite a variety- the stuffed peppers and chicken wings are my personal favorites. Or, if you're there in the morning, either on your way to go hunt or or your way to work, definitely consider the breakfast combo. For under $5, you get a 16 oz coffee, hash brown, and wonderfully filling breakfast sandwich that comes with two sausage patties and two eggs. Whenever I get this, I'm filled until lunch.
As I have noted, though, Fuel & Food is a popular destination for sportspeople and they have seasonal contests for the heaviest fish, nicest deer, and other "great hunts." While I certainly do appreciate the skill and reward of catching a really nice animal, I have to admit, I once accidentally chose to sit next to the "wall of fame" before eating and found that I had lost my appetite upon seeing a number of pictures of dead, bloodied animals. Again, good for the hunters for the great catch, but if you have a more delicate stomach like me, you might want to opt for a booth on the other side of the room.
