Stop in the gas station about once or twice a month to pick up smokes. Best prices I've found locally, 9 out of 10 times there is a friendly face behind the counter greeting you with a smile. As of recent, the front has been remodeled & opened up to allow more than one customer to enter while still maintaining social distancing. Which is AMAZING since it is winter. As for the little casino, ALWAYS friendly staff, games are spaced out for social distancing, & seem to pay out decent. HAVEN'T eaten here yet, but hear the food is on point.

Very nice bartender, and you can eat drink and play slots. Bartender offered to run across to the gas station to get is the drink we wanted. That's going out you way to please a guest. Very happy with the experience.
