Simple. Convenient. Local…read more I was spending a few days in town locally. I had the opportunity to stop in a couple times. This market is the main cafe, convenience store and gas station in a small rural town with a population of just over 150 residents. Service was friendly and prompt. Coffee was hot. I stopped in one morning to have breakfast. I ordered their Denver Omelet which is a three egg omelet filled with diced tomatoes, green peppers, onion and chunks of ham for $11.70. I added cheese for an additional 60 cents. It comes with hash browns and your choice of toast. Quite a hearty breakfast and very reasonably priced! I enjoyed the omelet so much that I went back the next day and ordered the same thing. There were 4 or 5 different folks working in the cafe / store when I was there. They seemed to share different roles from waiting, cashier, pumping gas and minding the store. The store itself carries a variety of essentials, frozen meats & seafoods, beverages and snack items, typical for many other convenience stores. Should I visit the area again in the future, I would definitely stop in for breakfast.

She does take a couple days off so there are others that work as well when it is busy, and when she can find the help. The food is good and she gladly made me a custom sandwich one morning. I know she is interested in retiring so that could happen and they could close. I will post pictures of inside and outside soon.

The lack of an…read moreupdated pump means that if you are paying w/ a credit card, it must be run manually and I'll admit feeling somewhat concerned when the woman pumping our gas disappeared into that old shed...supposedly to 'run the credit card' for our gas purchase. Oddly enough, not only did this little used CC get charged for the gas but an additional $1,500.00 in women's clothing and shoes were also purchased online within mere days of us stopping there. I cannot prove that the theft of my CC information was from this transaction but considering the level of security I use otherwise, this was the only time my card has ever been out of my sight. I don't use this particular CC for any other risky transactions. If I could prove it, I'd be calling the cops.

If you do a search on Google Maps for nearby gas stations, the search results aren't Shell, 76, Mobil or Chevron. This one came up as search return hit number 2. I thought the name was odd for a gas station but better to not be stuck in the middle of nowhere which had already happened to me earlier this week. (Thanks, Oregon potholes!) Just driving through Maupin is a trip. Like so many other small towns I've seen so far in the state of OR, they're like time capsules unto themselves. Isolated and existing much as they have over the years without succumbing to big box corporate mundanity. If you drive too fast, you might miss this tiny service station. I loved looking at their two pumps enough to take a pic along with the sticker art nearby. :) The guy who pumped the gas was super nice and mellow. $39 for a regular fill-up for my rental Corolla.

Maybe it's the boredom of running a business in Shaniko, Oregon? Maybe tired of the crap that some…read moretourists can deliver? (Oh, I'm sure it's a LOT!) Whatever it is - this is NOT a "friendly place". Think of the Seinfeld "Soup Nazi" sort of experience. There's a gruff old dude who runs the place, and he is NOT friendly. Doesn't say anything at all - even if you say "Hi" - he will just keep staring into space, listening to his talk radio in the background. The place is filled with cigarette smoke - not sure why other than the proprietor smokes. BUT .... if you can deal with all of that? It's a very decent little shop to stop and get stuff you need - snacks, water, POPCORN (from his popping machine), tacky souvenirs, beer, box wine, whatever..... 5 stars for "glad this place is here" and to help offset the otherwise crappy reviews. Considering you're in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, and you can get all this stuff in one quick stop off of Highway 97, what's not to like? Just be aware of what it's going to be like, don't expect more, and get on your way :-) 5 Yelp Stars "for what it is"

Self service, unbranded…read moregasoline is all they sell at the moment but it looks like they are building a patio out back so there could be some sort of food service there come next Spring. Odd time of year to re-open a business.... Shaniko is mostly a whistle stop Tourist "Ghost Town"..... popular from Spring to Fall but pretty dead except for a few full year locals during Winter. The owner seemed hospitable enough and was giving kids rides on the fire department "golf cart".... I was happy to see this place open again and always hope that the small businesses in this fun little town thrive. The nearest gas AFAIK is in Maupin if you are heading over the Bakeoven Road. Redmond if traveling south. There are some card lock stations on 97 north. The Hatts in Wasco may still be open. If not, the next gas would be in Biggs, all quite some distance from Shaniko. For the uninitiated, this gas station has been closed for at least ten years... probably closer to 15 years. Maybe even twenty. Suffice it to say that it's been closed for a way long time. So.... the negative, one star yelp reviews posted before October, 2019 and after ~ 2000 are totally bogus. The place was closed so how could anyone there be "rude" or "unhelpful"?
