Sierra Trading Post is a locally-owned convenience store and gas station chain, mostly found in the…read moreupper foothills of Amador County and nearby. I've been to several of their locations and usually find what I need. Nothing to get to excited about, but there is something to be said about actually being a convenient place to stop - many convenience stores are more of a hassle for so many reasons. The gas can be pricier at this spot simply because of the elevation and lack of competitive options. The store is fully stocked with all the goodies you would need for snacking or quenching thirst, and the gentleman behind the counter was friendly enough. Consider this stopover should you need anything in the area!

This was a favorite place for decades. Then the sold to the people who own TJ Maxx. First, the best…read morebrands disappeared...Smartwool, Icebreaker, Naot, etc. Then, I became unable to access my account, eg. past orders, ability to leave feedback, etc. Each time, an error page pops up telling me they will be right back (this is for a year now) and to shop at a different store (that they own) meanwhile. Two phone calls and an email later there is no fix. They blamed my computer even though I told them I tried several pc's, my tablet, and my friend's phone. The error page seems permanent. I wish I could close my account...can't even do that.

Had tons of bad experiences here with the pharmacy telling me stuff is ready and then not actually…read morehaving it ready. I don't live in Ione anymore but it was so bad I used to drive there until the pharmacy changed hands. I started coming back here and it's a little bit better but once again I just waited in line for 15 minutes after their automated system said it was ready and then was told it's not ready and it would take a half hour. So now I have to drive home and come back a second time which this has to be at least the 8th time this has happened. Unfortunately there's not a lot of better options in the amador county

Sooo much better then ride aid the pharmacy actually call me back and inform me about my medicationread more

We stopped here to get gas and to try the fried chicken and biscuits that they have inside the gas…read morestation. I got a 4 piece Krunch box that came with one biscuit. When I got to the car there were only 3 tenders. Good thing I asked for a receipt because they asked for it when I came back in. They fixed my order right away. I heard the biscuits were very good so a got a couple more. I was really disappointed in the Honey biscuits. They were flat, hard and crunchy. Stale.. Won't get these again. The Fried chicken tenders were good, nice crust and juicy inside. They're pretty large too an a little on the peppery side. You get a choice if several different dipping sauces. I like that they have a Pepsi fountain drink dispenser. A

We always set off on our camping trips after dark. It's not intentional, it just seems to happen…read morethat way every time. I have a secret spot I like to camp outside of Jackson, off Hwy. 88, and we usually stop at Jon's on our way up there for last minute snacks and bags of ice. They are open 24 hours selling gas, drinks (including alcohol) and even fresh popcorn. This is great for people who never know what time they'll be getting on the road. Their coffee station has an extra-caffeinated brew, as well as a variety of syrups you can pump in with instructions on creating great, popular flavors like vanilla mocha. I imagine extra caffeine is necessary when working a late shift at a 24hr spot. Service is friendly, so if they're tired in there, they don't let on. A fridge-deli contains potato salads, macaroni salads, deviled eggs and other homemade goodies. I prefer making a stop down the ChexMix and Sunfower Seed aisle, but the food doesn't look bad if you want something fresh. Ice is sold in 8lb bags. A few of these will fit in a medium-size cooler. Unless its full of beer cans, in which case you prob only need a couple bags. And your camping cooler should always be full of beer cans.

I've been five times so far and they are either A) Closed for lunch -or- B) Have a 20+ minute line My lunch is only 30 minutes, so with travel time, I can't get my prescription. I'll bet they deemed me a no-show and restocked my prescription by now. Now, I'll have to make the planets align twice so I can get them to fill my prescription again, and then I'll need to come back to pick it up. This could be better if they ever answered their phones.
