Wow the food is amazing!! Awesome selection of beers. I just moved this way from the SW and had my first ever fried green... tomatoes, WOW. Where have these been all my life?! They were perfect! The staff here is super awesome and friendly. This is mynew favorite spot. Read more
Went in for quick to go meal. We got a cheeseburger and BBQ plate. The food was hot and tasted good. Staff was friendly. The... only complaint was no salt on fries. We had left before we realized and I didn't have salt in the truck. Not a huge dealthough. We will certainly eat here again when traveling through! Read more
Cheesy western?s Texas toast, yellow relish, bacon, cheese, and burger was oh so good. But enough for two. We enjoyed the... service and casual atmosphere inside a long-standing gas station. Read more
Esso station converted to a pub & grub spot. Externally, not much to look at. Once inside, you?re greeted by a bar with a great... selection of beers on tap, and a menu with just enough choices. I had the pulled pork with Carolina style bbq sauce, cole slaw(finely chopped & not sweet) & fries with Cajun seasoning. The meat was perfect, having been flipped on the grill for a nicecrispy char, and the fries were cooked just right (crispy on the outside & tender in the middle.). Several choices of seasoningsfor the fries, too. Read more
Needed to pump gas and grab a quick bite, to my surprise, there was a restaurant inside of this little gas station, ordered a... couple of burgers and chicken tenders, food was great, took a bit but worth the wait. Have a huge selection of beers as well. Read more
The atmosphere is homey and the employees are down to earth, friendly folks from the area that know their customers. The food is... always freshly cooked with care. Portions and prices are generous and reasonable. The waitress took time to be nice to mydaughter and took a photo of her for Facebook. This is a great destination or planned lunch / dinner stop for a day trip. Rt60is a nice, scenic drive and not far from the blue ridge parkway. Read more
Stopped in for some burgers and wings after a baseball game. Service was friendly and fast. Unique atmosphere of a converted... 1950's style gas station to a trendy styled pub. Reasonable prices and quality ingredients. I had a double cheese burger withgrilled onions, seasoned fries, and fried pickles. Had a basket of hot wings for the table that were crispy and delicious.Plenty of beers on tap. Definitely worth checking it out. Read more
Love this place for what it is. They?re not trying to be fancy, but they level up the restaurant-in-gas-station experience. Nice... beer selection, both on tap and bottles and cans. Good basic pub food - burgers, fried goodness, etc. Friendly owners and staff. Read more
