There was 25-30mph winds. We decided to stop to get some gas and look for a zip up hoodie. I found a super soft hoodie on sale (25% off). The man at the counter was really nice. He helped me find a zip up. You do pump the gas out front and then come in to pay.

Really surprised at large selection here considering the size of the town!!…read moreExample: right by the register you will see a small shelf of cream liquor, flavors such as orange cream or dulce de leche. I can't remember the brand but I have ordered them from the liquor stores near home, (Detroit suburbs), and have never been offered the smaller bottle. There are many high quality flavors to try and a $24 bottle is too much for one person. I didn't even know the smaller bottles were available. Ian going to recommend the banana cream or the salted caramel over ice. We just needed a small, decent vodka, (Smirnoff or better), and they had several to choose from at that level. (Many above or below as well) Very nice young lady working there as well.

I wish I had more time during my vacation to make more than just two visits! The A & L Grocery also offers snacks and beverages that can help round out a stop from a take-out meal into stocking up for a beach trip or just a nice evening in. Also offered were home made cinnamon rolls that were also a great treat! I hope to pass through Autrain again and will definitely be looking to fill up on Pasties again here.

Sadly the service was so bad we weren't given the opportunity to try the food to taste it…read more This is a review based off of service on June 5th and 7th. We were so looking forward to trying the new hidden gem down the street from our place that we called during our drive up to confirm they were open. The woman who answered the phone was friendly and informative letting me know she would be open until 7pm. We arrived at 6pm, hungry and excited. We left at 6pm, hungry and disappointed. Door was locked, truck parked out back. I can only assume there weren't any signs of life because the customer service was so great it killed them. Next day. We began watching the Belmont coverage and decided to give BBQ in Traunik another chance. Learning a lesson from last time we called ahead. No one answered. It was 6:00 pm and they allegedly close at 8pm on weekends. Good thing we put our money on Tonalist and not Michlache's. Tonalist wins. Michlache's loses. This is our review based off of service on July 2. One more chance. One more time. One more epic fail. Wanting to give them another chance we took a party of 8 out of towers for dinner. We were excited when the open sign was on, door was open, grill smoking ,welcoming us to Texas in the UP, and patrons were aplenty dining inside. The woman behind the counter quickly dismissed us saying they closed 10 minutes prior. Okay, fine, we love a good beer special at Trenary Tavern so no love lost. I stopped to clarify the hours, hopeful we could come back this holiday weekend and the conversation went: Me: What exactly are your hours of operation? Owner: Open until 7 today. 8pm Friday. Me: I called you last month, you told me 7 on a Thursday, we were here well before then, and you were closed, do you close early some times? Owner: No ma'am Me: Okay, well the next day, a Saturday, I called and no one answered. Owner: No ma'am. I never close early. Me: Oh, well maybe you had somewhere to be those evenings because no one was here. Owner: No ma'am. You are mistaken. You don't know what you are talking about. Me: Actually I drove all the way here from Chicago so I know for a fact I tried to come on a Thursday and Saturday last month. Owner: NO MA'AM. YOU ARE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH. That's right. I'm a paying customer who enjoys wasting her time lying about things as simple and petty as what time a BBQ joint is open, In fact, I drove the whole way here from Chicago and bothered to try to eat at your restaurant (which by the way is in a very small and quaint location with a limited population so wow, you're going places) three times and decided to lie about your hours. Most food is made with love. Clearly yours is made with attitude. I don't even like BBQ and I definitely don't like you.

I ordered the chicken and pulled pork., with a side of corn off the cob and cold macaroni salad…read more(also served with Texas toast). The corn was amazing, and had sweet pepper and onion mixed in. I don't normally like cold macaroni salad because most places put way too much mayo in it, but the ratio of ingredients in this one was perfect and just enough sauce to cover the noodles. I need to make a point to mention, that if you do not like smoked meats, or that smokey flavor, order something else on the menu. The chicken was slightly on the dry side, the pork was cooked perfectly and you could see pieces of what once was a smoke line, and after covering the meat with their homemade BBQ sauce, it was all amazing.

( as if using the bathroom was going to cost me 7.16, I replied yes my husband was filling up my car. Drove away and thought it was an odd conversation. We headed to the state park to see the falls. BUT the story doesn't end there... on our way back we bought a post card and snacks. Again thought we would use the bathrooms before we left the town the attendant watch me knock on the door repeatedly and said nothing... my husband knocked on the men's room and no answer both doors locked. We left and went across the street to the post office to mail the postcard, came back my husband walked in to use the bathroom thinking who ever was done he confronted the attendant and asked why the doors are locked.. "I just cleaned them" she replied she had locked the bathroom an hour before close and refused to unlock the doors. Totally RUDE, Nasty we spent 150.00 gas and snacks to be refused a bathroom
