This is the gas station I usually use on the way to work. I've been inside a couple of times but have never eaten there. They do have what looks to be a good food selection so I got some hot food on the way to the Woodlands the other day.
As a gas station, it's a good one. The pumps are new and work well,
though right now they are impacted by Harvey and are still having
trouble getting all grades of gasoline. The bathrooms are above-average
clean for a gas station and are very modern. It looks like a great
place to buy beer--they have a selection equivalent to a grocery store
and a dedicated walk-in cooler.
The food is another story. I've
seen the food well-stocked, but when I went in at noon on a Saturday I was disappointed. They didn't have the chopped beef
sandwich or sriracha burger that they advertised as a special. I think
they were understaffed and didn't manage to stock. I ended up with a
sausage on a stick and a choice off the roller grill. They did have a
good variety there, including a breakfast sausage that was tempting, but
in the end I went with a pepperoni pizza grilled sausage, with some
"chili" and cheese from the dispensers. Gourmet food it was not, but
actually not half bad. I'm trying to do more pictures now, but this food was not picture-worthy.
The sanitary conditions for the food were
good. The buns were individually wrapped, and the drink cup lids were
in dispensers that cut down on fingering the stack. They had two
Freestyle machines, and both appeared to be working properly, which you
can't take for granted.
As gas station cuisine goes, it's probably lowest on my list. The others in the area all make food to order, and Laredo Taco Company in the Stripes at 99 and Hildebrandt on Kuykendall is actually my favorite in the area.
The gas is a bit above average in price, but it's convenient and I'm happy to patronize it.
