Creator's Key Takeaways

I can't recommend this place enough. If you live anywhere around here, you're driving by it on the highway, give it a go.

This is my new favorite gas station. Yep, it's delicious fried chicken.

This is a 10 out of 10 cup of brew coffee. I just can't tell you how excellent it is.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't skimp on the peach cobbler; it's a 10 out of 10 for flavor.
If you go to the buffet, try the fried chicken and the pot roast.
