-- Talk to me about some gas station food you like
 

I like Circle K's Krispy Krunchy chicken. I'll put up against any chain as far as quality + value.

What few food items do you like from gas stations and where?

Fried burritos. Almost anywhere.

Fried chicken gizzards. Ridgedale, Mo near Top of the Rock.

I can't remember the last time i ate anything from a gas station that wasn't candy or a bag of chips.

QT Egg Rolls?

There's a gas station kind of in the middle of nowhere, about 20ish miles south of me. I'm drawing a blank on their name, but they have a mom and pop deli attached to them... Their fried chicken, their hot wings in particular, their brats/Italian sausages, and even their pizza are all very good and come through in a pinch.

I do HVAC and, before my accident, I was heading this large project to install new furnaces in this fairly large mobile home park in Wayson's Corner, MD. Right at the entrance is this gas station/truck stop that I'd probably eaten at a handful of times that summer. Cheap and effective, and also a nice break from bringing my own lunch almost every day of the year..

They can be hit or miss, but the QT chicken biscuit will do in a pinch. They can dry out quick though, so I do a soft feel around the package to check for any hardened biscuit areas.

Beer

Do you guys have Royal Farms out there? Their chicken, when fresh, is better than any of the chains..

Circle K had these greasy ass little tamales that were great with a beer or coke. 2 for $2
Sadly they have stopped distributing to my location.


About 30yrs ago the QT $1.59 BBQ Pork Rib was great, they have completely ****ed it up

It’s hard to pass a roller brat anywhere if they have them.

Casey’s pizza is tasty.

Casey’s breakfast pizza.

Their normal pizza is good, too.

(Sofa beat me by a **** hair)

Can't vouch for it as fresh, organic, farm-raised, or healthy, but the Buffalo chicken roller at QT is quite useful as a snack.

Cheap, meaty, spicy [actually surprisingly so], not prone to drying out, not messy.

If you find yourself checking out and notice you need something to keep you from rage rage for a pending trip, there are worse ways to spend a buck.

Here we have On the Run which is basically an Exxon station that has a Hunt's Brothers pizza inside. The loaded thin crust is incredible and a large is $10 and change.

Casey's pizza is unbeatable, and I would put its pizza against any national pizza chain.

Agreed, Casey's pizza.

QuikTrip's new breakfast and lunch soft tacos are decent too.

Casey's also has some good sandwiches as well. Their pizza is excellent.

Casey's pizza. Kum-n-Go and QT (we don't have QT down here anymore, but I think they do in KC) have good taquito thingies. My boyfriend actually loves gas station hot dogs after a long shift in the kitchen.

QT jalapeno sausage roll for breakfast is always a hit for me. They go pretty quik so my second choice is their apple fritter.

Casey’s does have a great pizza. :thumb:

QT hot dogs are greatly improved now that 'Chicago style' condiments are available.

Too bad they made the chili and cheese 'premium add-ons' though.

Also hard to beat the QT plain old all beef dog for a cheap quick lunch.

If you're a fan of apple fritters, and there's a Hurts Donuts near you (I think there's a couple up there in that area now), then go there to get one. You will thank me. I'm not a huge fan of their donuts in general, but their apple fritters are DA BOMB.

(Don't mean to veer away from talking gas station food, but just had to put that out there.)

Uncle Bud's deep fried peanuts

I like peanut M&M’s.

Living in Iowa, I'm spoiled. As mentioned earlier, I've been enjoying Casey's Pizza for like 30 years or something. Their other stuff is great too. All quality ingredients. Kim & Go has stepped up their stuff. Their pizza is shit, but their roller items are good and you can get two roller items, bag of chips, and a medium fountain drink for $4.60 or something. That's pretty good. Casey's is much better, but I'm going to spend twice as much.

Casey's pizza for sure. They also have decent Tenderloins

Everything at QuikTrip

I take it you guys don't? I'm telling you, their fried chicken is as good as it gets..

Seconded. I also like their spicy square wrap for breakfast.

We have a lot of Kum & Go's and Casey's where I live and I enjoy both company's dark roast coffee, with K&G's being slightly better than Casey's. That said, Casey's is less expensive.

Don Miguel’s The Bomb burrito and Red Hot burrito

This thread starts and ends with Casey's pizza, particularly their breakfast pizza

This is correct.

I'm still a sucker for a QT roller dog, though. Their fixin's station is top shelf. Quac, pico, sport peppers, the crazy neon relish, kraut; you can really go any direction you want as the mood strikes you.

Agreed. Once they started switching over and putting the markets in, they've gotten way better. I think it's because they have someone whose sole focus is the food instead of a cashier saying, "Oh, the items have been in the warmer for two hours too long? Here, let me nuke something fresh to put in there," after they've had to focus on ringing in fountain drinks and selling lottery tickets.

I've got two gas stations out where I live now, and they're right across from each other. One is a Casey's, and the other is an old regular Kum-n-Go. I go to Kum-n-Go for gas, Redbox, and fountain sodas, but I go to Casey's for everything else.

The Casey’s pizza here is ass.

Technically, I can get a Joe's Z-Man in a gas station.....

The Hunt Brother's hunks are surprisingly good. My local Breaktime makes a morning batch of their lots o meat breakfast pizza that they add peppers and onions to. It's like an omelet pizza and damn solid.

Gas station pizza can be a home run if you find a place that does it right.

This. No better "Gas Station" food than Joe's BBQ. Casey's subs are excellent. Much better value than Subway or Goodcents -Goodcents has gotten really stingy on meats, Casey's loads it up. Quik Trip hot dogs are a good quick snack. Avoid Gas Station Sushi. At All Costs!

You were probably wondering why I was pumped when I texted you that a small town around here got a Casey’s. LMAO

GodFathers Pizza in Phillips 66 is the best in town. 10 bucks for a large 3 topping.

Rofo is only in MD, DE, PA, VA, and recently NJ. Very good chicken for sure.

QuikTrip Breakfast pizza. If you wanna be real fat try their branded brownie.

Right?

I’m guessing it’s just the local methheads ****ing ours up.

Z-Man and Fry

QT's Pepperoni pizza

I think you have to factor in that all of you are eating this stuff at gas stations when you are drunk, stoned hungry, or have the munchies. Otherwise you wouldn't be eating it most likely. So, perhaps it's not really as good as you think it is. In other workds, if you put it up against something you would get at a different place for a main meal, would it be just as good?

I go to a 7 eleven gas station in my area and usually get taquitos. So tasty especially the beef taquitos. I take them home and slather some steak sauce on them. That shit is da bomb! Oh and how could I forget the slushy to go with that? Thats a good cheat meal for me on like a Sunday. That has a good density of calories and is very cheap, inexpensive.

I interpret it as a win-win-win. I might have one this Sunday during the Chiefs game? Can’t go wrong here.

AM/PM Rib Sandos and Chicken Sandos.

Holy shit, yes! They had them for a buck a couple months ago. So so good.

I still like Casey's pizza, but not as much as I used to.

They've really cut back on the cheese they pile on (that was the best part by far) and the coupons they send now are aas compared to what they would send.

Casey's has pretty good subs, damn good pizza, and the chicken strips aren't too shabby. My opinion may not be the best on this subject since my only options to order food in my town are Casey's and one restaurant. Plus I have had pretty shitty taste ever since I ate this meth head, Casey's cashier's ass for a Long John.

Casey's also has those choco peanut butter rice krispie treat thingys, most excellent.

I will admit that when a Pizza Hut 3-topping large costs 7.99 when you order from their app and they have a drive through, it's a bit harder to justify the Casey's visit.

A thin crust w/ pepperoni, sausage and mushroom or Chicken, bacon and Jalapeno will cover lunch for at least 3 days and that's just a bargain when all is said and done...

I’m pretty sure everything on the QT rollers is a win.

QT hotdogs and fountain drinks!

Steak sauce on anything is just wrong. ****ing Canucks jeez.

Ive had plenty of Bombs over the years. They are consistent in that you will always get a bite of rubbery mystery meat that you chew and chew till you decide its best to spit it out. Its been awhile but remember them fondly.

Went from grabbing a Casey's pizza about once a month to us having the 10 tabs for a free pizza for 9 months and counting.

We have a Roadrunner that grills some pretty good cheeseburgers.

I know 2 guys that almost died after eating Casey's pizza in our area, so yeah I am not touching that shit.

I do like QT's beef and bean burrito taquito they had recently.

I have an unhealthy attraction to these:

Oklahoma Joe's
LUTZ'S
Como Smoke and Fire

Your butthole and anyone who has to share a bathroom with you must hate you.

Buffalo Chicken Rollers from QT.

QT Breakfast sammich's are pretty tasty - the ones you order, not the ones that sit under the heating hood for days...

The KwikStars that recently came to the Des Moines area have excellent glazer donuts and Cinnamin rolls and broasted chicken...

So you don't like to spin the Wheel of Food Poison or Diarrhea? :D

When I first moved to Northern VA in 2007, I had a colleague who told me about it and I didn't them at all, thought they were low class with no taste. How could chicken at a gas station store be so good?

Fast forward about 6 years and I was out doing surveys on properties in MD and I was starving and low on gas. So I took a chance and filled up with gas and then ordered the chicken to sit inside and eat.

I was stunned at how great it was. Call me surprised and in 100% agreement. :clap:

Oddly enough, I've never experienced any side affects from these.

Kum N Go should be a motel chain with by the hour rooms.

The bluebird

I have always been a sucker for rollers dogs and sausages. Need condiments. Onions and hot mustard and may kraut.

Meh, it may be blasphemous on good steak, but steak sauce can still be a tasty sauce. It's pretty good on a burger or to dip fries in.

I will ****ing eat my ****ing food any ****ing way I ****ing want. **** you very ****ing much.

:)

Q-T soft pretzels, bruh.

Caseys Tenderloins are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QT breakfast pizza is the bomb yo

Oh, ok. I'm a transplant, albeit 18 years now, from CA. It didn't know if they were a regional thing or not.

RoFo chicken and WaWa meatball subs man!

It took me several years to try it. Similar mindset. How could gas station chicken be better than KFC, Popeyes, etc? Well, WHEN FRESH, it blows any of those places out of the water for sure
