Just a little local gas station and convenience store, but the owner and her employees are super friendly and helpful. We've been going here for 3 years and have always been treated great! It's several miles to the bigger gas stations and they don't overprice the gas, likes other shall convenience stores do. Being a convenience store, you're going to pay a little bit more for things you'd normally get at a grocery store, but not an unreasonable amount more. It's small, but we like it. It's nice to have a store that carries fresh vegetables and other things we need, instead of having to drive all the way...

Restaurant is going downhill. Sat for 6 min and not one acknowledgement with only 5 tables being served. Will not return. Earned my money and will only patronize honorable restaurants. The owners lose because they hire incompetent workers. 3 weeks earlier 2 of us went there and had to return the food cold and tasteless. Won't be going...
