Shell is a good rest stop while traveling, with clean bathrooms and a friendly, helpful staff. It is less busy than some other stops and has a great gift selection. The BBQ is amazing and very tasty, with tasty sides. People recommend the smoked meats, like pork chops, and the bacon wrapped shrimp. The baked goods, like cookies, and deserts are top notch. There are also canned snacks and goods. However, some find the breakfast burritos overpriced. There are mixed reviews on the jerky; some love the grab-and-go beef jerky, while others find the packaged jerky too wet and not thin since Covid. Overall, it is considered a hidden gem worth checking out for BBQ, though some advise sticking to the BBQ only.
