This place has it all whether you want to come in and sit down for a hot meal or get snacks for on the go or walk around and look for some toys, souvenirs and trinkets. I thought I was just going to purchase gas, take a quick restroom break and get a snack. When I opened the door my eyes and ears changed my mind. There's fudge, truffles, candy, cakes, pies, cookies, salads and deli sandwiches. All said to be made fresh daily! I ended up perusing the store for over an hour and running my mouth with management in the restaurant and the store. Everything was so well organized and smells wonderful! Whoever the designer is, kudos to you!! You know your marketing niche! Although the restaurant prices were a little high it's worth it and typical for the taste and offerings. The gas station part does offer cold selections that are labeled and you can microwave since the restaurant closes at 11pm. I bought Chicken Fajita Wraps at $6.99 (3) very large from refrigerated section. There's also home decor available for purchase....

The food was incredible. Definitely recommend the 2 side 4 meats Plate that way you can taste all the meats they have. The sauce was very delicious. All the flavors were super good. Not bad for a bbq in side the market.

Have eaten here three times now. Lots to choose from. Lots of homemade (?) desserts and candies and truffles! Oh my! Choice of meats and veggies. Liked it very much. Something for everyone. Was told it was better before the pandemic and less expensive. Used to have more condiments/sauce choices/toppings i.e. jalapenos. Still worth a stop. Just have a big stash of cash.

This is a mega-convenience store with a barbecue restaurant and a Sonic and and and! This store has everything. Cakes, pots, barbecue, is like a mini-store with everything. I'm bringing to know what they say everything in Texas is bigger. I found vegan beef jerky, gourmet chocolate, fudge, etc. And I had the opportunity to sample a rib. Not bad, but not my favorite.
