We've made this stop almost annually for two decades. Some reviews indicate the place may have gone through management changes and certainly, the interior has been remodeled and better organized in recent years. The southern food in this store has been a legend in the past, but seems to have fallen out of favor as of late. Well, we've rolled with the changes and continue to look forward to this stop. It's the chicken that makes the stop for us. Made in small batches throughout the day, we've always found it hot, juicy, crispy and perfectly seasoned. We might add various sides or none at all; this review is more focused on the chicken. Today, we added wedge fries that were seasoned similarly to the chicken, hot and fresh. Nothing makes a visit to NC better than really good fried chicken. Border's is as good as it gets and you have the option of getting it so many different ways: individual pieces, dinners or family combinations. Today's staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. The cook came out from around the back and warned us that she just made this batch and it would be hot. She reminded us of my husband's mother, so she had our vote of confidence right away. The dining room had many seats to choose from; typical in and out seating with self-serve drinks. Looked to be tidy and more or less clean. We always use the restrooms and never have to wait. They were clean though dated. I'm fine with that. The convenience store has snacks goods and a whole lot of souvenir-type items. Not our thing but if that is what you want, the selection is sure to please. Don't forget to stop by the little produce stand located on the north side of the driveway. Mostly local, good pickings. Today the peaches were in and super sweet. Yum. If you want dining with ambience, Borders isn't your place. If you want really good chicken, fast and fresh, don't miss this stop.

The food we get from the deli is usually made pretty well, but it does seem like their soup selection is always the same. We never see the loaded baked potato soup anymore. This is a pretty busy Wawa, and one thing I do not recommend is coming here on the weekend. It gets very chaotic here, and it is even worse during high travel times to where people are parking at neighboring parking lots and lines are forming for gas pumps. Overall this is one of the better Wawas I have been to, and they do also have Tesla charging stations if needed, although I see lots of trucks and non-EV vehicles park in them.

It's big and clean with lots of parking and lots of gas pumps.

I stopped in here early on a Saturday afternoon in Sept to get some drinks and a snack. It was so…read moreincredibly humid outside that afternoon that the perspiration was running off of you the moment you step outside. If you live here you know the kind of day I'm talking about. At the time we stopped we had just been taking pictures throughout the Creeds area and were getting ready to travel further south into Knotts Island. So this was a perfect point to stock up, grab a snack and take a break out front under one of their covered picnic tables. The gas pumps were busy as was the small yet well stocked store. Social distancing was being observed and I noticed all of the employees and customers had masks on. I grabbed a bottle of water and a bottle of Mt. Dew, paid, and headed out front. The shade of the picnic table umbrella was nice. I observed from there that there's also a 2nd building on the property (not counting the storage unit facility) that appears to be a beer distributor. The words "Beer Shack" appear on the side. You can't miss it if you're in the lot. All in all a nice little break. We were there maybe 25-30 minutes cooling off before hitting the road again.
