I concur with my colleague Chris's review of this establishment. It is a shocker. A freaking BP…read morestation complete with lottery/video poker or something. I swear they gotta have pickled pigs feet in there too... somewhere. It gets five stars for the UNREAL beer selection. I came here because of Chris C. I asked the dude about the beer and he just said "dont go to the grocery store!" Seriously...they carry growlers of regional craft breweries...they have some of the best craft brewers in stock that produce in the nation...like Bells. They also had a 12 pack of a rare produced and hardly distributed coffee porter from Highland Brewing company in Asheville. This person/owner/proprietor knows his beer! I don't buy the gas because the company that produced it ruined the Gulf of Mexico with the usual lip service to our law. Switch gas folks!!!

This is a really good place for local news in the Cullasajsa Community and it's also the last…read morestation for gas and food before you head up the mountain for the drive thru the Cullasajsa Gorge which goes to Highlands, NC. Fill up before you go up because the price for fuel is far higher in Highlands-Cashiers area. Because of the winding roads it's a long slow drive. A white knuckle drive for some. Next door to the station is a great place for RV's to park for just a few nights, a week or even the entire summer. Situated beside the Cullasajsa River, very professional and incredibly friendly with a nice sense of community within and surrounded by a peaceful community. Highly recommended for a breakfast or lunch meal at the Sweetwater Cafe. It's located next to the station. Stop by and see for yourself and bring your friends and family.

It's a very large lot so there aren't a lot of waiting or confusion of entering and exiting. The older couple that operate this location are amazing folks. They decorate the place for every season and holiday. They both are so extremely friendly and helpful. They give my doggies treats too!
