I've been hearing about how great the food was in this gas station for years but I never stopped to…read moretry them out. Well I was starving and decided to try it out. I called in my order and stopped to pick it up. There were quite a bit of people already in the store ordering food. I overheard one lady telling someone how great the food was and asking what they'd ordered. I ordered the chilaquiles but they forgot to ask me how I wanted my eggs cooked so after I told them I had to wait about 8 minutes for my food. I went with the red salsa and added carne asada with over easy eggs. The bowl was amazing! I will definitely stop back in here for some more great food!

This place is a locals choice for fast food. Locally-owned and more than just a gas station. My…read moredaughter and I had already had our fill of McDonald's breakfasts when she's playing softball out of town. This time she and I wanted something different. She's a connoisseur of fried chicken, and I felt like having a nice breakfast burrito. We ordered that and we were not disappointed. The people there were working fast and used lots of fresh ingredients. There was about 6 others waiting for their order, and a few in line. Didn't seem crowded, and we got our orders in less than 10 minutes. If you happen to find yourself in Shafter and are looking for comfort food, make a Big Stop here.

Then when they finally get off their phone you ask him what you wanted and he doesn't understand you (in his thick accent). Really?

Saw this on yelp when researching places to stop in my way to SoCal from the coast. I was intrigued…read moreby the James Dean story and so I stopped here. This was James Dean's last stop before he got into a fatal accident hence his huge cutout outside the gas station. Store was spacious with lots of different snack particularly nuts. Restroom was clean and service was excellent. The young lady who helped me with my nut selection was friendly and helpful. Place wasn't too busy unlike stops alongside I-5. Recommend stopping here. Worth the slightly higher gas prices.

The coins drop on the counter (75 cent) and he starts calling me a piece of Sh*t, because I said maybe he should learn how to count change instead of just dropping it a person's hand, even if I did drop it on purpose(which he thought) there was no call for him to go full profanity on me... so we started yelling at each other and as I was walking away he started challenging to Kick my ass. So yes I called him names back and pointed outside to accept his challenge, ( mid 20's fat guy, I'm 67 6'6" ) so I doubt he would have come outside, lucky for the both of us.

We travel Interstate 5 often. When we find an easy place to get gas plus use the restroom we tend…read moreto frequent the location. To make my list the place must have a clean restroom. This Arco/AMPM meets this criteria of easy access and clean restrooms. As a bonus the gas is on the cheaper side in Buttonwillow and the AMPM has every sort of drink or snack you could think of. If you are near Buttonwillow on the 5, need gas and have to use the restroom this is a safe stop. Warning: be cautious of entering if the person in front of you has been in the restroom for awhile. These are private restrooms and entering after a long wait could be troublesome.
