STOP QUIK CITGO is a gas station that serves some of the best biscuits, making it a popular pit stop. Their specialty is huge, savory biscuits that are fresh, not greasy, and very filling. Popular items include the cheese biscuit, the spicy chicken biscuit—which is not listed on the menu—and the Around the World Biscuit. The spicy chicken is perfectly seasoned and crispy, while the biscuit itself is soft with a bit of crust, especially with melted cheese. The cinnamon rolls are also noted as being to die for. The operation is efficient and quick, with friendly and helpful staff. Even with a line out the door, service is fast, and customers can often be in and out in under five minutes. They open early, around 5:30 or 6:00 am, and stay open until they sell out for the day, often by late morning. It is advised to arrive early to avoid missing out. The ambience is that of a no-fuss gas station, also offering an array of other items. While the biscuits receive high praise for being incredible, flavorful, and satisfying, notes mention that hash browns can be greasy and just-so-so, and that the sandwiches can be pricey. Overall, it is considered an Outer Banks institution with amazing food, amazing prices, and a unique experience worth the visit.
