Gasquatch — Restaurant in Idabel

*Can't help but laugh at some reviews that rated it poorly, but let me give you my two cents if you wish to read on. My wife and I was venturing for relaxation at Broken Bow's Luxury Cabins and never knew this place existed. It's not your average gas stop so communist are not happy about it, nor are those that push the electric cars. They sale non ethanol fuel, offer breakfast all day, and have a catchy marketing platform with classic cars to boot. Met with staff, and actually met the owner, in of which protects his investment both with security camera's and common sense. Very nice guy, and though the cashier was a ....well laughed and denied my to go order of One Daytona it's understandable. I told Phil that I have yet to have driven one, to where I feel I have driven most of the other's or at least a passenger. He respectfully refused to sell, and politely denied me a drive, and he has that right. Some people get hurt when simply told, "no" and go on a tangent. It's a business ran the way he wants, if you don't like carry it elsewhere but don't be fooled by poor understanding of what it is to be true to oneself and not accommodate every whimper and whiner. Personally, I wouldn't sell beer, nor tobacco products but hey I like wine, and by golly why deny other's their liking if I could accommodate. With this business platform he could mimic Bucees but has to start somewhere and it's looking like a really good way to revamp from what he used to do. If I had to complain, I better have a business of my own to compare it to, otherwise just shut up and acknowledge that which is good. It's not a crack pipe ragheaded dealer stealing your credit card number off the skimmer payment thingy. Would you really rather have a Valero, ComeNgo, Quickie Mart, SlEZyMart, FastNlo, Raceway, PairOfDice and who owns RoadRunner now....

I have preferences but also have standards. I desire that other's that I detest would clean up and care about service and good products than having to hide behind bullet proof glass an bars on the doors and windows.

If I was Phil, I'de build a Bank, have everybody carry, and if anybody tries to rob it, just lock the doors and take care of business and reopen.

We lost the concept of being American, selling our country to those that don't care about it and facilitate crime. Phil is part of a dying generation that has what few may ever enjoy nowadays, it's being free and living a dream. Many just wet the bed, and complain about other's. I'm going back! Thanks to all that work there, and...

I know this place has been open for a while but I am just now able to have the time to stop without rushing and really give it a through review. You can see their squatch statue from far away! There are two entrances and they can either be used by cars or trucks. The truck area is some what mid size and it is located in the back. That tells me that this store is mainly focused on tourist traffic but yet offer a proper fueling and parking area for trucks. Outside of the Front entrance they have Ice, firewood, propane gas conveniently placed. As you enter, wow! It is clear that you will see a Sasquatch theme throughout! There is souvenirs merchandise, curiosities, a beer cave, bathrooms and a nice restaurant offering fast food. Then in the back…… not expected, an awesome collection of American muscle cars of the major classic American brands; Ford, Chevy, Dodge with its variants they are awesome (see pictures)

Once I got done sightseeing, I went to get some food. I ordered the Po Boy Sandwich with onion rings. I ordered Cajun style. I was surprised that the whole thing was less than 9 bucks! Drink and all! The sandwich was big, and then the rings were also of a good size! It was good! I got full before finishing the onion rings! Thats a good sign.

Did I forget about the bathrooms? Nope! I did go. They were clean and very well design. There is a small annoying delay in the water and soap dispensers, I hope that gets resolved, it is annoying. Other than that, they were clean and very well placed in the layout of the store.

Over all, I really enjoyed the visit. Thanks and I hope to...

There is an important reason at the end that the review is not 5 stars. Thank you management for opening your parking lot for the eclipse viewing. The atmosphere was good, the products were good, most of the people behind the counters were awesome. The coffee was highly caffeinated which kept me going for the entire day. We had a great time and I am completely grateful for them. We loved the classic cars in the building. I do wish we could have gotten closer but I understand why we can't. Those are some really beautiful cars. There is only one caveat: the eclipse glasses they sold in the store were cheap counterfeits. They were just slightly darker than regular sunglasses, and while they had the ISO label, there was no verifying address. The security guard, who was putting 2 glasses together to try and shade his eyes, was made aware of this. Naturally he did not want me selling the ones that I had that were certified so we gave them away to people who had children at the event. I hope the people that I could not get certified glasses to do not have eye damage and I hope management will choose better in 20 years when the next eclipse comes. Thank you again for opening up your hearts and property to the umbraphiles that...
