If I could give negative stars I would. Only redeeming feature is pay at the pump fuel BUT go south to save a lot of money. Bathroom was disgusting. Trash and toilet paper piles all over the floor. No soap. Paper towel dispenser was empty. Should give indication how long it s been since trash was emptied. Absolutely no sign they care about their customers. That includes inside the store.

I stopped here on my way back home because I like supporting local businesses. This particular stop was a mistake, and I will never visit this establishment ever again. I do not reccomend. The reason for my poor rating is due to the following incidences. First of all they leave off food from your order of they don't have it, they do not tell you they are out of the item just make it and leave it off. My sister ordered a veggie wrap that was advertised as having avocado, when her order came there was no avocado. When she asked the waitress she said they were out, my sister ordered the wrap because it came with avocado. I guess they had some left over in the back because they did bring out a little avocado... Note that it took 15 minutes for a veggie wrap. The next incident involved use of the advertised restrooms! After eating lunch I wanted to use the restroom, the door was locked so I asked for a key and they said they closed it to the public. I explain that I was a customer because I had just eaten there...the person I was talking to was the waitress who took my order! I asked to speak with the manager, the manager said "we don't let people use the restroom because we want to keep the restroom clean". So even if you pay to eat there you cannot use the restrooms, multiple people were asking about restroom use because there were signs all over the establishment. The manager was very rude. Do not waste your time or money here.P.S. The gasoline is overpriced!

It's in the middle of nowhere, but gas prices were over $2.50 per gallon higher than stations maybe 50 or 100 miles away. If you can make it...keep driving. Only basing my review on the price. The people working were nice and we picked up some candy for 3 for $1. They also have a working payphone booth, which is a bit of a blast from the past.

They serve a good breakfast, but only up to 10:30. Quality of my omelet was very good with freshly grated Hashbrowns.

Came in today with bus with 18 people from Denmark, want coffee and snacks. As soon as we pulled up, lady ran out and locked bathrooms and front door to Cafe. How sad is that.

This was the best fueling station and customer service experience during a 3,000-mile trip from Idaho to California to Washington! Thanks to Terri for going above and beyond! The Cafe had great burgers and the facility was clean and well-maintained.

My wife stopped in to grab gas and seen there was a cafe. I was not expecting to get such a great piece of coconut cream pie in the middle of no where. If we are driving through again I would definitely stop by and grab some food.

The little Cafe was amazing! The food was sooo good, and the prices were amazing. 2 meals and 2 coffees was only 24$! Perfect little stop along a deserted highway. Will eat here everytime we pass!! Oh. And scored some gorgeous native earrings

We bought there the most expensive diesel of our trip from New M�xico to Nevada. We needed diesel and we were happy to find the station but we only bought 5 gallons. The pump was very slow. Very friendly and professional staff.

Thank you for having 24 hour pumps. I was in a situation where I just had to keep driving but was concerned that I wouldn't find gas. When I found this station I was so happy to find the pumps on. On top of that your restroom was unlocked, this too was a life saver. Ultimately I found a place to sleep for the night, but your little station although closed was the highlight of my evening! :) Some day I hope to come back when you're open.

It was after midnight, and we were nearly out of gas. Even though the station looked closed, the pumps worked with our credit card! We were so happy! Even better: the bathrooms were open, clean, well lit, well stocked, and warmer than it was outside. Thank you.

Credit cards are accepted. It might look like its closed in the night but you can still stop by and get gas. There is a small convenience store and a diner (sort of). Prices are reasonable. Service is usually slow. Restrooms are well maintained. Can't expect more from a rural gas station.

Only been here twice and they were nice each time. First time going to Benton; I asked if they knew what time a place closed, which she did. I bought a doughnut and chips and soda. Second time was coming back from Bishop and my friend had a headache, so I went in to get aspirin, but they lady suggested she use Advil and Tylenol, (I believe that's what it was). My friend said her headache was gone in like 10 minutes. So again, THANK YOU. lol. I bought a doughnut and something else. Both times I've had the doughnuts, they were awesome. Even tho they were the ones sitting out all day, they still we're great. I prefer those. Best for dipping in milk. You guys should try having ones with custard or chocolate filling sometime. Love this place!!

Every time I m by here, meaning the middle of nowhere, I make it a point to stop at Benton Station. The place reminds me of that 1936 Bette Davis movie The Petrified Forest. Bette works as a waitress at a remote gas station/diner and things are pretty darn quiet until Humphrey Bogart shows up with his partners in crime.I ve lived in cities since my teens and when I m stressed out I think of this movie and yearn to trade my vocation for a job as a fry cook at Benton Station. My biggest worry would be whether Bette s ghost got enough avocados in her wrap. Oh, wouldn t that be the life?

What's there to say. Its a gas station in the middle of nowhere. Gas prices are high, cause your in the middle of nowhere. Never ate there. But I have stopped in to buy a redbull and drop a deuce several times a year as i travel through the area often. I guess one of these days I'll have to try the food

A lovely little cafe nestled between Yosemite and Death Valley. Meals are reasonably priced and there is a small shop inside, ideal for buying water and sweets for your road trip.

Fair gas prices. If you are low on gas you better top off. Glad I did. From Yosemite to Vegas the only gas station I saw until I got into death valley.

This is an all purpose stop here. It's a gas station, mini market and a cafe that has excellent homemade pies made locally. Only place in town to get a meal. Friendly staff
