Hidden gem! Avoid McDonald’s or any fast-food stop on your drive and come here. Their staff is also so lovely!

Never heard of this place, but needed gas and some food and the exit was just right.
Lots of charm with this place....the food was good. If you like or simply want to try moonshine, they have several different variety to buy.
Would definitely go back. The staff was friendly and helpful.
This is a good "One-Stop" for food, fuel and a break.

My boyfriend and I were passing thru on our way home from Ohio to Maryland. I googled places to eat nearby and this place had great reviews. I’m glad we stopped in! The ambiance was super cute! DO NOT HESITATE TO GO BECAUSE IT LOOKS KIND OF LIKE A GAS STATION OUTSIDE! It was super clean, cozy had a huge selection of food, drinks and homemade desserts (including ice cream)! Very charming place. They also had alcohol. My food was delicious. I got the Mac and cheese and kickin chicken wrap. Super yummy. Boyfriend got a cheesesteak. It looked great. I didn’t try it but he said he liked it. He didn’t like the coleslaw. I did try that and was not a fan but I’m not big on coleslaw to begin with so, to each their own. The red velvet cake was to die for! I recommend!

This place is a hidden gems in mountains. I go to Virginia to Cumberland once or twice a week and I try to stop here and grab a piece of cake or cheesecake every time. They are the masters 9f a cake. Just wow. I have tried at least 10 and each one has been great to the best I've ever had on a few types of the cake. You will not regret it.

This is not a gas stop, but you can get gas here:-). Has an awesome ice cream shop and they make great Sundaes. Check out the banana split!

Wow, what a great little spot to stop when traveling on 68. You can zip in and zip out easily. Much easier than sheetz in lavalle. Get gas, bathroom and the best part the little cafe makes home made treats and sandwiches on home made bread. These sandwiches are made custom order and are fresh and fantastic with great ingredients. And they have brownies that are perhaps the best brownies I've ever eaten. Really nice people work there. Clean and efficient.

For anyone riding there wondering if they have sit down seating, they do, both indoors and outside. Rode 2hrs to try the food and pick up some different Moonshine and was very happy with everything.
Cheyenne burger cooked perfect, good quality meat, good bacon, onion ring and a nice BBQ sauce on a really nice bun. Will order a side of BBQ next time it was the only thing I wished it had more of. Fries were perfect.
Came here looking for a specific flavor Moonshine I heard was good, found it brought it home and was not disappointed. Will bring back another in the tail bag next time.
I'm not even a dessert person but the selection looked amazing, massive cinnamon buns too, I'm sure it's all as good as the food.
100% worth the 2hr ride, good local twisty roads to explore as well. Great place.

Such a cute and low key place. It was a great lunch and restroom stop for our family with two little kids. You can order at the deli for freshly made sandwiches and also here are grab and go sandwiches and pasta salads and big pieces of cheesecake and cakes and ice cream. There's a few rows of foods and soaps and snacks and drinks. There's some cute displays of moonshine, hot sauce, candy display, and handmade soaps and trinkets. There's a ice cream soft serve bar with a banana split and an indoor and outdoor seating area.
Restrooms are nice but do not have a handicap stall. I didn't see a family style restroom that would work for a wheelchair so they may consider adapting a restroom for people using wheelchairs to be able to use.
Definitely a cute and delicious spot to stop! We will come again if we road trip past.

You think it's just a gas station. Go in. You will be thankful you did. The food is great and prepared fresh. Indoor and outdoor dining areas. Don't forget to grab a huge piece of dessert. I recommend any of the cheesecakes personally. There are some fun nostalgic things in the back. They even sell alcohol to go and some fun gifts.

Nice little place in the middle of "nowhere". Found it by accident as we stopped for a break on our road trip. Didn't eat here but enjoyed the store and some home made ice cream. Reasonable price and good ice cream in a cup, my kind of style...
They also had multiple car charging stations which was a surprise for a small place like this.
