Yes. Weird question but yes. There’s a place called Tex-Star which is a mini Buccees right on the other side of i35 from me.

Cheapish gas, good beer selection, good food with a grill, hand made breakfast tacos, has an air tank, lots of unique snacks. I have a Buccees that’s equidistant and I prefer the texstar.


As a road warrior for work, I’ve grown to like QTs and Stripes in west and south Texas make incredibly good breakfast tacos.

One of my favorite gas stations that I’ve visited is Apple Green in Ireland. The workers are very friendly and helpful, clean showers/bathrooms, really really good espresso, and the food is not gas station food - it was really good. This was at several of the locations.

It’s not there anymore. Just like lots of things.

Death Valley Shell, corner of Highland and W State Street.

This goes back a ways for me and a place I'd always stop at to and from my late father-in-law's house.

I'd make the drive from N.O. to Mansura where he lived at the time and after making it through Baton Rouge and taking the Lobdell Exit off I-10, I'd stop at Cash's which was a combination gas station, convenience store, restaurant and video poker place about half a mile after the turnoff on the right hand side.

If in my truck I'd just park and head into the restaurant part and order breakfast and if on my motorcycle, I'd top off my tank first and then get something to eat.

That was basically my halfway point and I'd usually leave N.O. very early after just a cup or two of coffee, so by the time I got to Cash's, I'd be ready for breakfast.

Haven't been up that way in years, but I'd bet it's still there.

Jimbo’s on Sharp/Old Hammond.

Spent way too much time in there playing the track and field game.

the Kum n Go on my side of town is always spotless. Never crowded but a few local LEO types in the morning. Good coffee and very nice employees. I go 1 or 2 times a week. The others of the same brand in town are trashy, full of nasty folk.

They built a convenience store on the property my grandmother's house used to sit on. I go there for beer and lotto tickets. Was a large two-story wood framed house that had a fireplace in every bedroom. Ceilings were at least 10ft or higher. Had a crow's nest on top.

Stewart's Shops in central/upstate NY. Was up there building a project and they had the best gas station coffee and made-to-order sandwiches I'd ever had.
