I've stopped here every single day before work for at least the last 2 years to get a slushie and a snack before work! Absolutely love it!

Food was okay. The people were awesome, very nice and attentive. The atmosphere could have been better but it's a convenience store, not a restaurant. Could have been cleaner.

Gas station grocery and eatery. My partner got some fried chicken and I'm still waiting on her assessment.
