First time visiting Palm Desert and my wife had a random non-negotiable craving: fried chicken…read more After some Reddit digging, Towers Market kept popping up. I'll be honest--gas station food usually lives somewhere in my college survival era memories, so I was skeptical... but I'm always open to try something new. Right when we walked in, we were greeted warmly and treated with genuine friendliness and respect, which already set a good tone. Just to be clear, I'm writing this review purely based on the fried chicken and the service related to getting it. I didn't come for gas or anything else, so please keep that in mind. Now let's talk chicken. 5/5 -- no hesitation. We ordered the chicken strips along with wings and drumsticks, and wow. Super crispy, well-seasoned, and flavorful all the way through. Honestly? It rivaled Raising Cane's, which feels wild to say about a gas station--but here we are. Reddit did not steer us wrong. Most importantly, it absolutely satisfied my wife's fried chicken itch, and that alone makes this stop a win. Bonus points because my 9 month old daughter seemed to love it as well!! Unexpected, impressive, and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and craving fried chicken. Would I come back? Without question.

*Go With the Spirit of 76*…read more Best gas station in Rancho Mirage along with the best & lowest prices too. Most of the other stations charge $0.50 to $1.25/gallon more (throughout the Desert cities) and makes me scratch my head every time why people throw money down the drain and fuel tank at all the other overpriced gas stations. But I understand people with money to burn prefer the convenience and locations of other stations. Speaking of convenience, there's a small convenience store located here too...and it's conveniently located on HWY 111 near The River. Every time I've been here the customer service is outstanding and everyone is all smiles and values their customers. There's window squeegees that some stations don't provide anymore because they get stolen. I know gas is gas...but the station is tops in my book and car for this area and my neighborhood...and I still remember when 76 was the official gasoline of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and had a gas station too in the parking lot at Dodger Stadium. Grandslam I'm a fan.

I am loyal to a fault, so I decided to give them another chance. I called on a Tuesday morning to…read moretry and get my wife's car smogged that day. I was told no appointments are needed, and they perform smogs until at least 4:00 pm. I arrived at 2:20 pm, and when I checked in, I realized I had left the renewal paperwork at home. I told Rudy I would write down the VIN number and license number legibly so he could fill out his paperwork. He then proceeded to inform me that it was not his job to read my writing. After I laughed, he said We stopped doing smogs at 2:00 pm today anyway. When you come back, make sure you don't screw up again and not bring the paperwork. He must have been the bully at his high school (assuming he went), because I have seen him give off that vibe multiple times to men. Needless to say, but I would rather light myself on fire than ever deal with him again. Plus, their coupon is a scam as well. If they write your name down before you show them the coupon, it is not valid. WTF!?!? I will give one of my associates the task of verifying whether this is even legal

Rudy answered my call and informed me that I didn't need an appointment since they start smog checks at 1 pm. However, when I arrived at 1 pm and inquired about the wait, he rudely told me that they actually start smog checks at 3 pm due to other priorities. I was disappointed because I had called ahead and made a special trip to the shop. I politely asked if there was another smog check station nearby, and he just said no. I don't recommend this place - it's a hassle you'd rather avoid."

Luckily Ray stepped up and was more than happy to assist with grabbing me a box while my hands were full. His customer service definitely made up for Amy's lack of. Hopefully management keeps this in mind when considering promotions. :)

Stopped by this Costco in Palm Desert to fill up on gas, and go inside (if not too crowded). Found…read moreit to be so less crowded than our neighborhood SoCal ones. Gas has reached over $6 a gallon now, so actively looked for a Costco while traveling from Palm Desert to Joshua Tree. The entrance to the gas station is not meant for high volume, with the eight lanes (4 islands, 2 pumps each so no need for parallel parking in a middle spot) having space for 3 individual cars behind. Once those fill up, there is no space except to go out to the street. Price was significantly less than the surrounding stations, and the paying/pumping was exactly the same as every other Costco (one tap if you have the Citi Costco card). We did go inside the Costco, with the mandatory membership card tap to enter. Once we got our few items, lines weren't too bad with additional checkers using hand held scanners to individually scan each item in the cart, eliminating need to have to put any items on the conveyor. It does make it faster...it's not Amazon Fresh that needs the RFID 'scan the whole cart at once' technology, but Costco. The food court is inside and wasn't too crowded, and would have stopped if we didn't have other plans. The $1.50 hot dog/drink special always tempts me.

He was EXTREMELY rude. Eventually grabbed alcohol wipe for her and said he "would give that to us for free" after it was Shells fault that the fridge sliced her open. We now have to go to CVS to get her a tetanus shot because the metal that cut her open was rusty and dirty. VERY upset about this experience and will be reporting it.

I have lived near this Sinclair gas station for over 20 years, during which time I've seen many…read moreemployees come and go specifically at this location. However--for the last 3 to 4 years, in particular--this gas station has elevated its customer service to a whole new level! 1) Daniel (the new manager) has completely transformed this place; not only did he introduce a new fast-food service--featuring items like fried chicken, pulled pork sandwiches, veggie egg rolls, and a variety of breakfast burritos (such as chorizo, birria, bacon and eggs, or sausage and eggs)--but he also ensured that the service is delivered with genuine friendliness. Furthermore, I constantly see him checking in--walking in and out of the store--to ensure that everything remains clean and impeccable. 2) Mary and Gonzalo are part of the station's excellent team; they always strive to keep things running smoothly, serving customers with both friendliness and speed. In the mornings, they always make sure to have fresh coffee ready. And finally, 3) Henry--the night-shift assistant--is an employee I have *never* seen work with a bad attitude or treat a customer rudely! In fact, he knows many customers by name--myself included--which makes you feel like more than just a customer; they make you feel like part of the Sinclair Gas Station family. Without a doubt, I highly recommend this gas station, located at Deep Canyon and Highway 111 in Palm Desert!

I walked around for a bit while I looked for a snack and drink! And I was very impressed at the selection of everything they had there! There is so much to choose from from simple snacks and candy to full on meals depending on what your in the mood for! And the drink selection was incredible from water and soda to energy drink and healthy drinks to even a beer cooler and a hard alcohol section if that's what you're in the mood for! And I asked the worker if they were all locations were set up the same and he said yes! So I highly recommend this business and I'll definitely be back again!

While dispensing the petrol into my car, I decide to walk in as I have heard about different food items available on the go.
