Pretty cool stop. They have a cool restaurant that serves barbecue and a small gift shop section. Pricey but what can you expect right off the freeway. read more

Shell - Restaurant located in gas station - Gas Stations Near Me - Coalinga, California

I like to stop at this Shell location because they have so many pumps so there's never a wait. They also have a great bathroom that's a standalone but it's a decent size with 4 stalls. There's also a lot of grass space so I can walk my dog around and let him do his business before we continue driving. read more

This is the Shell station that's right next-door to Harris Ranch. The gas prices were beyond ridiculous, but comparable to the gas stations right on the other side of the freeway. The day I was there, gas was a buck and a quarter to a buck and a half per gallon cheaper, either down the road, an hour in Buttonwillow, or up the road an hour in Santa Nella. If you can, wait, definitely do so. The reason I always stop here is because of the store You can get lots of things to drink, and lots of snacks The food is also good here. If you have a cooler, they have a reasonably sized amount of Harris Ranch meat that you can take Home with you. They also have a decent hot food/deli counter where you can get sandwiches or other hot items. My last stop there, I got the burnt ends with. a side of red potato salad, and I also got myself a slice of cornbread. It didn't look like a large portion of burnt ends, but it was just right. They were both crispy on the side and also tender. The sauce that came with them was excellent. The potato salad was creamy with big chunks of red potatoes, and it was a savory cornbread. It had a tiny bit of jalapeño in it, but it didn't make it spicy at all. It just gave it a very good flavor. The one thing I didn't care for, is, I bought a package of Harris Ranch beef jerky. Reasonably priced compared to other beef jerky, but the package said "regular" and it was a very peppered beef jerky. So peppered, that I almost couldn't eat it. It was right up to the edge of what I like. I would not buy the beef jerky again. Other than that, it's a great spot. You can get things for the road, and a nice meal, without having to physically go into the Harris Ranch building itself. I will continue to stop here. Thank you.p read more

Our first time here for Harris Ranch BBQ which we heard we had to try. We got here at 1:15pm and the long was LONG but thankfully in the AC so waiting wasn't as miserable. Daniela was so kind, helped us tremendously with recommendations, and provided us with amazing customer service which we appreciated her very much! She recommended us the cheddar brisket and it didn't disappoint - Thank you for being awesome! read more

My default mid point gas and restroom stop on I-5 N or S. Repeat customer for 10+ years. Gas Pumps work well, access off freeway is simple and heading back to the on-ramp is smooth. Stop inside for snacks or drinks. They have a really comprehensive selection of road snacks that should be a top 10. Now I want Hot Tamales and it's 3AM...People love the bbq and are always in line. I always feel like gagging since I smelled bbq smoke all the time in Oklahoma so it gives me PTSD. But don't let my quirks keep you from enjoying. Simple. Clean. Smooth. How a highway gas station should be, but rarely is. read more

Clean bathrooms and fast super charging. Didn't try the Harris Ranch Sandwiches but they smelled good and will definitely keep this place in mind for the next road-trip on 5. read more

I made a pitstop here to take a nap and use the restroom. This particular Shell & the Harris Ranch Express BBQ business had my back while I was asleep in the AMs as an Asian American male- very reliable. ***Do note that results may vary.*** Much respect to this establishment. Blessings from Stan! read more

Stopped by to try the Harris ranch bbq spot they have. But the gas station itself is well stocked with all the snack and drinks you need for the road. The bathroom was clean when i stopped as well. read more

I've been stopping here for years but this last trip left me upset. The gas station is 100% price gouging it's customers. The gas is over $2.00 more than the 2 closest gas stations. I won't be stopping here for gas in the future. The restaurant / inn and the bbq express are fantastic. read more

The gas here is way overpriced. I filled up in LA $45. I stopped at Harris Ranch Shell Station. Half a tank was $50! Do not go there for gas. Plan out your trip so that you fill up before you're on the 5 between LA and SF, then stop at Santa Nella and fill up your tank. read more

First thing wrong with this place is the cash register. That thing is probably close to 15 years old. I was livid upon finding that the cashier had to turn it all the way on and off because it froze. I felt bad because she looked very stressed. Not her fault, it's the owner's fault. Replace your stupid cash registers. It's beyond rude and CHEAP! The bathroom was not even well kept. Everything is old and breaking apart. The gas prices were BEYOND EXPENSIVE! Down the road a shell gas station was a dollar cheaper. Shame on us for not looking this up before filling up our entire tank. I will never be returning here. read more

When traveling on highway 5 and you need to rest come into Harris ranch and the Shell gas station. I noticed today gas prices are very good for this location it's only $4.29. You can come in and use the bathrooms which are really clean the ones next to the Harris barbecue and the ones closer to the Shell station in the back both of them are always usually very clean. There's a grassy area for you to stop and rest and stretch your legs if you're traveling on a long trip.If you have dogs they can stretch their four legs too. If your hungryAfter gassing up at the Shell station you can always come into the store and find something to snack on or have lunch or dinner here. read more

This place was disgusting! The women's restroom had pew on the floor in all the stalls. The ground around the pumps was oily and dirty. Cashier service was slow. WOUKD NOT ORDER FROM THE SUBWAY If YOU PAID ME! read more

I must have gassed up here a hundred times over the last two decades. This Shell station is located right next to Harris Ranch restaurant at the junction of interstate 5 and highway 198. The station it's self is huge with ten lanes of double spaced gas pumps so there are pumps enough for 20 cars at one time. Besides the great location, pay at the pump, fast in and out, the convenience store inside is well stocked. There is a Subway sandwich store in the this Shell. Restrooms are in two locations inside and a couple outside. Restrooms are not the best so minus star. If I'm traveling with my wife, I usually drop her off at Harris Ranch to use the restrooms while I pump gas. Highway 198 is a major road through the San Joaquin Valley so this a major truck stop on I-5. read more

I stopped at this location to fue to get something to eat and fuel up. the fuel was decent bu they had no DEF pumps. I asked the price on the Peak blu, $30. !!!! I will never sto at this location again. We keep this fueling stations goin, and the think they can take advantage of us. read more

This is an "okay" gas station, the pay at the pump option wasn't working so I had to pay inside. I forgot how much the gas cost per gallon. If you're ever wanting to scout out options, use the "Waze" app for your cell phone and you can look up gas station options and pricing too via the internet on your smart phone too. The guy was really nice 'tho, and they have fresh deserts from the Harris Ranch Country Store here available too. read more

This fat lady cashier is terrible, she serves me like I owe her money, the price of gas here is outrageous.

I'm just reviewing the restrooms, lol. If you need a place to stop while passing by this location, go here. The restrooms are really nice and clean. The restrooms are located at the back of the Shell station. They have their own separate building. Also you have the shell station if you need some supples or gas. Harris Inn and restaurant is also in this location. read more

Shell - Nice clean restrooms. Thank you for keeping up with them! - Gas Stations Near Me - Coalinga, California

Go to Chevron! Way overpriced gas here. Driving northbound on 5 I pulled off to fuel up and this Shell station is the only one convenient on that exit. Only can see prices after you pull in and it was 4.29 / gallon. Figured we're way out in nowhere and it's California, but as I merged back onto 5 north I saw the Chevron across the road was 3.33 for the same gas.. The next stop had another Shell station with 3.32.. Scummy gas station ripping people off. Please do not give them your money and support their greed read more

we were tooling down I-5 in the Tule Fog when we needed to fill-up for the continuation of our trip to San Diego. When exiting the freeway, we had a choice of going to the left for the shell or to the right for the "no brand" gas. We opted to spend a little more on the shell for name recognition. We assumed we would be paying more but we also assumed that we would be getting a cleaner bathroom, etc. As you can see http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/3_HAQ9dOwq0D765k1UFkdg?select=IBB1HRUPITzsCCCjoaELbQ the bathroom was in need of attention. Certainly not worth the additional $.35 cents per gallon vs the station on the other side of the freeway. Had I know, I would have held opted for no brand, saved about $7 bucks, 'cause I still had to use a dirty bathroom. read more

This Shell is located at the Harris Ranch exit off the I-5. This was my first visit here, and I was surprised at their selection of food items in the convenience store. There are 3 picnic tables in a covered walkway on the North side of the station. The restroom access is from outside the building. This is usually not an encouraging sign, but these restrooms were clean, well stocked with soap, paper towels, and toilet paper, and even have two hand dryers. I was pleasantly surprised to see the variety of food items you can purchase here including Harris ranch meatloaf, Harris Ranch tri tip, and Harris Ranch pot roast with savory gravy in the cooler. If you're unfamiliar with Harris Ranch beef, it is incredibly tender and tasty and is sought after. They also have a variety of sandwiches available for 4.99 and 5.99, salads. Now you can see why it was so significant that they had picnic tables outside. You can pick up some pretty decent food and sit down to enjoy it. The convenience store carries a variety of other items including chips (even Takis and Kettle Chips), candies, drinks, shirts, ball caps, and gloves. The convenience store is closer to the level of a Love's than an Ampm. The cashiers are always friendly. The gasoline isn't super cheap. We just stopped here for the munchies. read more

It was fine. We have a company gas card and car, as we were on business travel, so we didn't care how much it cost. If I had to pay my eyeballs would be bugging out of my head. Expensive! You can use the Harris Ranch free wifi while you are getting gas. read more

Pump leaks. See picture. Thankfully squeegee and paper towels worked without incident. But seriously your pump shouldn't leak in the first place. Also the machines are often broken or demand debit only when Shell claims they do credit and debit. read more

Next door to Harris Ranch! That earns a star right there. Had to stop for gas because I did not want to push the car on the freeway. Pretty standard Shell station from the looks of it. Did not go inside the shop so no comment with regards to that. Just a good station to get gasoline at this freeway exit. After filling up your tank....head next door to Harris Ranch to fill up your tummy. read more

Smells like cow but what do you expect, you're by a cow farm!!!!!!! Huge gas station and the restrooms are super clean most of the time. Okay now for the most important thing...the beef jerky!!!!! Holy shit!!! I have never had beef jerky like I have had here!!!!!!! Wow wow wow!!!! They have it in a huge jar at the cash register. I usually get like $10/$15 worth. That's plenty for a road trip. They used to have a subway inside but they are under construction and have taken the subway out to replace it. read more

Maybe this Shell station has had a total revamp since most of these reviews have been written, because what I encountered was nothing less than a five star experience at a gas station. Yes - gas is expensive. But I don't often stop here for gas, instead it's a decent potty and snack stop. Restrooms are located outside of the normal store; and they're nice! There are multiple stalls and appear to be newly remodeled. It was totally clean and well stocked when I visited, a nice break from the usual chaotic roadside rest-stop. Inside, there were a bevy of beverage options to choose from, including some amazing varieties of hot chocolates. Vanilla Hot Cocoa, Mexican Hot Cocoa - all delicious and reasonably priced at around $2. Loads of treats line the inside racks, including Harris Ranch Beef Jerky. Free Wifi as well! read more

We usually stop here on our way to SF from LA, and it kind of reminds me of Barstow Station on my way to Vegas. We drove up in a rented Corolla, and I had forgotten what great gas mileage Corollas get. We just had to fill up half a tank. We hadn't eaten in many long hours, so the Subway sandwiches in the convenience store actually looked good to us. We got two $5 footlong sandwiches, and our "sandwich artists" were very generous. They were super heavy-handed on all the ingredients and provided friendly and enthusiastic service. That surprised the heck out of us. This was definitely the best Subway sandwich I've ever had, but it just may have been a fluke. We also used the restrooms (pretty icky but not as gross as the restrooms at Barstow Station), stocked up on some drinks, and ate our sandwiches on one of the outside benches which were clean. For a rest stop, this place was not half bad. read more

Cleanest bathroom that I have every been in at a gas station. Convenience store had plenty of stuff but the clean bathroom was the amazing part of the experience. Best surprise that I have come across in a long while. Not to mention that the gas was cheaper by at least a nickle over the other across the freeway. read more

LOVE this Shell station by Harris Ranch in Coalinga. They have THE cleanest bathroom on I-5. The store has a Subway inside, but it also has pre-made sandwiches and salads from Harris Ranch. Regular selections of soda and energy drinks, snacks, etc. are also available. The facility is very well maintained. The downside is that the gas price is higher. read more

I am writing to mark a sad milestone: Today at this Shell Gas station located roughly halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco I paid more than 100$ to fill up my gas tank using unleaded fuel. Thats right 24.577 gallons of unleaded fuel at 4.09$ a gallon. This of course might have been reduced by a dollar or two either way, but the point remains that this is the first time that I have been driving a "regular" car and cracked the 100$ mark. A sad day me thinks, as my credit card silently weeps. Other than that, the filling station was fine, if not suspiciously filled with enough Red Bull to throw a full moon party in Thailand should someone not be able to afford the aforementioned petroleum. Also, they have a Subway inside that I can't speak to because I didn't eat there. read more

Travelling through the I-5 back home, of course we'll need to pump some gas. The cashier was confusing to work with, the price is a bit ehh, but, we're desperate for gas, so we had no choice. Didn't buy any food. read more

This is my traditional stopping point between the Bay Area and LA being about 2.5 hours from either place. Gas prices on average are about 10-15 cents higher than the metro areas. Clean bathrooms and an electric car charging station (including a Supercharger for Tesla vehicles). The convenience store houses a Subway sandwich place. Across the street from the Harris Ranch restaurant and bakery. Other than that not much to say other than it smells like cows (duh with the ranch). read more

We stopped here to get gas and ice on the way back up to the Bay Area. I went in to get ice while she pumped gas. She soon joined me inside while I waited in line, saying the pump was requesting an authorization code. So we asked the lady at the counter about it and she told us it needed to be reset, which she didn't have time to do, and just move to another pump. So we did. We tried three pumps on two different credit cards but there were issues with each pump. Granted, it was the day after Thanksgiving and the place was pretty busy but it's such a bummer to waste time trying to give a business your hard earned money and they make it impossible and act as if we were the one's doing something wrong. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a gas station attendant to reset the pumps so customers can buy gas. read more

We stopped here during a recent holiday road trip to SoCal. We had just received two $25 Shell gift cards from a family White Elephant exchange that we wanted to spend on road trip snacks and were searching for a good Shell station to make a pit stop. My husband chose this Shell station because it was right across from Harris Ranch and it also sold Harris Ranch snacks. The variety of snacks and drinks here helped us spend $25 during two pit stops, to and from SoCal, particularly the fresh cookies from Harris Ranch. I have had their cookies before while dining at the Ranch restaurant so when my husband suggested that we buy them at Shell with our gift cards, I was definitely on board. We bought the chocolate chip cookies for us and and our teenage son to eat in the car. My husband and son were craving for more after they devoured their cookies so we returned on the way back home to buy more. We bought a huge variety of cookies the second time. This station definitely helped us make the most out of our White Elephant gift! Their sugar free vitamin fruit fountain drinks were good too. Oh and they had clean restrooms during both of our visits. Worth a stop even if you don't have Shell gift cards to spend. read more

By the time we arrived at Harris Ranch, which is across the drive way from this Shell gas station, I had about a half a tank of gas, so it was time to fill up, scrape the bugs off the windshield again and stretch. This exit is about at the half way point when driving to San Francisco. The bathrooms here were a lot cleaner than most. read more

Why am I reviewing a Shell gas station? Well, this was a surprise find in the sense that it's literally in the middle of nowhere. If you make drives between LA and SF, this is a good place to stop. When you get off the freeway, there are a bunch of gas stations if you turn left. However, if you turn right, it takes you to the Shell. This station has a huge grocery/7-eleven type store where you can get snacks, drinks, souvenirs. read more
