The parking lot is very spacious, the restroom is very clean, and the employee Austin is very kind and amiable. He has a very kind heart and is also very handsome. He treats the drivers like his own brothers. I wish all of you a Merry Christmas! And a Happy New Year as well!

Gas pumps don't work. Go to the shell right up the road. Can't rate a gas station well if it doesn't provide the service right in the name!
