One of the best things about living in a small town is that there are businesses like Handy's where…read moreyou can stop in, have a conversation with a friend (not just some random employee that takes your money) and start your day with a smile. Sometimes I can find gas a little less expensive in town, or they may not stock an item I am looking for, but the people who work here definitely make it an anticipated part of my daily trek to the office. Spina, Sam, Alicia, Jose, and Toni (and the very nice lady that works in the morning whose name escapes me!) are all very nice, genuinely kind and caring folks. I had lived in okc my entire life until I moved to Newcastle, and I finally understand the phrase "small town charm." in the City, you get what you want and you get out, but here you get a kind word, or an inquiry about something that is happening in your life, or maybe even catch a little gossip about what is happening in town. Heck, I even found a sad little wounded pup wandering around their parking lot (someone had shot him with a shotgun) and they assisted in the fund raising to get him healthy again! If you live in Newcastle or come through from Blanchard on your commute and this isn't your regular stop, you are missing out!

Tht was pretty obvious by all the people getting gas and waiting to get gas. It was really busy but the service was pretty quick.

Walk away full, but feeling flavorfully satisfied, guilt-free and healthy!…read more After a week of eating out for a conference in Norman( all tasty food mind you, mind you, but the kind of food that leaves feeling like "ahhh, I need to workout, purge, diet, fast, yadda, yoda, yedi!!!") I needed a break from the guilt! Not to mention, the older we get, successive ventures into the fried and fatty world of rich foods start to have a deleterious affect on my mood and mental sharpness as I feel more slugggish, bloated and "blechhy" by day 4 of my id locking up my superego in a basement closet. So, I opted out for going to a brewery with a co-worker and instead suggested this place which had some good reviews already and also the kind of menu that your heart and soul (as well as your guilt-muscle) can all smile about and relax. It is close the OU campus and is on a side street in the most literal sense that you pull in to the 4 space lot with your bumper inches away from the main road. Safe, but close. Street parking appears to be the alternative. We got lucky as it was late on a weekday (they close at 8) and found parking. It used to be a health food grocery store only but added a kitchen not too long ago after having success with another eat-in store on the OU campus. It is narrow, self-(and limited seating with pub-style ordering from counter where you fine their menu. The menu is laminated 10x14 I think, 2 sides including drinks so their menu is ample enough that you could find anything hot or cold, liquid or solid. The have shakes and juices made-to-order as well as a variety of deli and finger food options. Since it would be my last night in Oklahoma I tried several things to share and ended up eating them all. I had a beet, carrot and spinach juice (your choice of 8 or 16 oz)-- ahhhhhhh. There is nothing added so if you are not into juices, you will taste what ingredients you add and I love beets! While there are many vegetarian and vegan options they do include some meat. I had the bowl of veggie chili which was a hearty rendition with several types of beans, carrots and corn. It was not bland but had spices that gave it an addictive flavor. They also had a creamy soup that I declined.I also had the hummus which appeared to be white bean and was chunky as well as creamy but altogether with a mild flavor that did not conflict with the chili. I opted for carrots vs. corn chips but they do offer tortilla chips for their "build-your-own nachos" part of the menu. From the sandwich section I picked a tuna salad (that had dolphin-safe tuna and not a substitute) but I did get a taste of the not-really-chicken chicken salad and that was good too. In addition to a variety of groceries and desserts to purchase and take home they sell fresh bread. I had a slice of the 3-seed bread and it made me want to stuff myself by ordering another sandwich just so I could put anything between two pieces of their fresh bread. They had 4 kinds of bread including a honey wheat and 2 vegan offerings but I selected their 4th choice which was the 3-seed (chia, sunflower and pumpkin maybe??) My only regret was knowing that I would not be able to return until I made the trip from the east coast to Norman, Oklahoma...but it does give me a big reason to return :)
