The Oaks is a rustic gas station and convenience store nestled amongst beautiful oak trees on Highway 98. It is a self-serve petrol station with soda and a few snacks, and it also sells lottery tickets. The business is known for its cool selection of hot foods, including world famous hot dogs, chili dogs, brisket sandwiches, egg rolls, and several breakfast and sandwich selections. The homemade chili is described as amazing and the food is flavorful, filling, and really good. There is some outdoor seating with a view of the highway and railroad. Reviews note that the people are friendly and the store is clean, served by very nice, smiling employees who are quick, professional, and kind. However, other experiences report that the store can be filthy and smokey, with bare shelves and indifferent staff. The lottery machine only accepts cash and does not give change, which can lead to frustration. While the food is decent, prices have gone way up across the board. Some items, like the chili cheese jalapeño red hotdog, are delicious but noted for their intense after-effects. The overall experience appears to vary, with some customers planning to return and others very disappointed with recent changes.
There is a very rude employee that works there other than that they are good!!

That chili cheese jalapeño red hotdog was the stuff legends are made of, totally terrible health wise in every which way, but so delicious. Careful though, the atomic bomb it creates in your gut will soon detonate within 24hrs of consumption. That’s a whole other experience you will likely not soon forget lol.
