    It's always a blast coming here!!I make it a point to stop at Blackwell's Corner once a month to refill my chocolate fudge vices! While the store is loaded with a massive variety of snacks, jerky and amazing almond flavors the real reason for the visit is the chocolate fudge with walnuts. It is hands-down the best in the state, #provemewrong. The only reason for the 4/5 stars is that they they barely answer the phone so i dont drive out here and there is no chocolate fudge with walnuts they day i want to visit.. Like today, also the cashier had a bit of a hard time calculating my change recently when I handed them $40.45 for a $32.43 total. Other than these minor hiccups it's always a great visit.

    I have been stopping here for years when I'm on this highway traveling. There are so many local products from small businesses which helps them. They are a bit expensive but they are worth it. I love their chocolates which I think are better than see's chocolates. They also have big portraits of different celebrities. I had purchased a very unique one of a natural Marylin Monroe. I have never seen one like it. They always have new things.

    This last stop gas station before heading to the coast from Kern County is great. They have clean restrooms, great snacks, and some great gifts. It's a nice stop and I would recommend it to everyone.

    You're driving on the moon, no wait you're driving in central California, and all you've seen is dry dusty Hills for miles, when all of a sudden this place starts advertising itself with multiple signs. If you're like me, you feel compelled to turn in, if for no other reason to just get a break from looking at the alien moonscape of South Central California. I was pleasantly surprised to find a very entertaining large store, featuring lots of different flavored pistachios and other nuts and snacks, as well as a full selection of different kinds of beverages, gifts, and even fudge and candies. There is also a clean restroom to the rear of the store, and it's also a gas station. Highly recommend a stop if you're in the area.

    Honestly grateful for a place right off 46 for snacks and a restroom break. The place is huge! And cool inside which was great a hot day! Also, it features a diner where it was James Dean's last stop before his untimely departure. LOTS to look at. History stuff, canned and jarred goods, nuts, snacks, drinks, decor, gifts. Nice people working. Large James Dean cutouts outside so you really can't miss it. Also, there is a Shell gas station.

    Awesome stop area! They have clean bathrooms, snacks galore, an awesome diner, James Dean & Marilyn Monroe items. I found several small gifts for family. We will stop here again!

    I have passed by here for years and never stopped, but finally did on our way back from Monterey, to finally partake in the location that James Dean made his last stop. The actual convenience part of the store is only about a 1/4 of the entire building, but I had no idea everything else the building had inside. The James Dean memorial part of the store could be done a lot better as the newspapers really need to be framed and behind glass, but it was still fun to see and read. There is also a 50s soccer type restaurant inside as well as a general store / flea market area. You can basically get just about anything you would want for your road trip.

    Bought some honey and a few souvenirs, stopped for a restroom break on a nice road trip. There is a nice cafe with made to order menu items, lots of Hollywood Relics. Great music and chill vibes.

    This was James Dean's last stop before he got into a fatal accident hence his huge cutout outside the gas station.

    Review a gas station? Sure, why not…read more Actually, the only reason we stopped here was to stretch our legs on the way to Paso Robles and to check out the market attached to the gas station. The market is enormous and probably has every type of junk food ever made. It also offers a lot of other "country store" type products but I'll be damned if I'll pay $35 for a bag of pistachios. Supposedly, this was James Dean's last stop before his fatal accident. So there is a wall of James Dean posters near the back, near the fudge counter. If you need snacks or drinks, I suppose this is an ok place to stop but the prices seemed extremely high.

    Going to give this place ZERO stars because of how the "manager" and employees treat their…read morecustomers. I needed some serious air in my RV tires so I pulled in and paid the $1.50 for use of the air pump and attempted to fill my tires. Recommended 80psi in the front. I was down to 60 and dropping. Unfortunately, the machine pressure maxes out at 55psi so it was taking air OUT of my tires as I tried to fill them! Didn't realize that until my tires were down to 50ish. Went in and explained to the clerk. He confirmed that there's not much pressure in that machine and just shrugged his shoulder. I asked to speak to the manager. Mind you, it's not about the money, it's the handling of the situation. After explaining my problem, the redneck, grease-monkey "manager" just looked at me as if I were speaking Mandarin. With this moronic expression, he said, "Sorry 'bout that, but I can't refund your money" and also shrugged his shoulders. I said maybe they should post a note of the psi limitation, place it out of service, or call the company who manages it. I shrugged my shoulders and just left. Even though I prefer to support small businesses, I'll never drop by here again. The little things make a difference.
