I desperately needed caffeine (ugh, migraine!) and I knew the Valero gas stations in Sacramento have the Starbucks Refresher drink in Pink Lemonade. Using common sense, I knew this Valero must have the drink of my dreams. They did not disappoint. But that's not even the best part: my best friend discovered the lotto tickets and realized that she had never purchased one before. On a complete whim, she purchased one and we walked across the street toward Old Town Pizza to scratch it off. And she won $20! When we went to return the ticket for the money, the guy was hilarious and joked with us about how they didn't give cash back for those, we'd have to come back later. Of course, he was kidding! He had us laughing pretty good. Thanks for the good laugh!

A Friday Night Home Run at Penryn Grill!…read more This was our third visit to Penryn Grill, and someone suggested we come back on a Friday night for the clam chowder and fish & chips. Let me just say...it was absolutely worth the return trip! First, the clam chowder. My wife gave it a 10 out of 10, and that's saying something because she's a self-proclaimed clam chowder snob. She rarely finds a chowder that can compete with her favorite spots in Monterey. Well...hallelujah--we finally found one! The bread bowl deserves its own standing ovation. It tasted like fresh sourdough that had just come out of the oven--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and absolutely delicious. Normally you finish the chowder and leave most of the bread behind. Not this time. I ate every single bite of that bread bowl. It was simply scrumptious. The fish and chips were equally impressive. They served a huge plank of fish that was lightly battered and cooked perfectly. Too many restaurants hide a tiny piece of fish under a mountain of batter, leaving you feeling disappointed (and overly full). Not Penryn Grill. The fish was fresh, flaky, and outstanding. In fact, it was the first time in our 43 years of marriage that I've seen my wife finish every bite of her fish and chips! The chips were another pleasant surprise. Instead of the usual thick fries, they were thinly shaved, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely addictive. We'd never had them prepared that way before, and they were a home run. Of course, I couldn't leave without ordering what I consider Penryn Grill's signature dish--the shrimp tacos. They are hands down the best around. Perfectly seasoned, loaded with flavor, and honestly worthy of ordering every single visit. The atmosphere was terrific. We loved the live '80s music, the service was fantastic as always, and our waitress graciously endured my terrible jokes with a smile. That's five-star service in my book. As retirees, we're always on the hunt for a place that serves a great meal at a great value, and Penryn Grill checks every box. One tip: If you're planning to go on a Friday for the chowder and fish & chips, arrive between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. They regularly sell out--and after this meal, it's easy to understand why. We'll definitely be back...again!

Bun too small for the stacks of meat! I ordered the brisket sandwich and it was pretty darn tasty…read more The sandwich is overloaded with tender slices with a good smoky flavor. The beer selection and service are fine. When in the establishment, it is easy to forget it is attached to a gas station. Outdoor seating with nice fireplaces are available but this time, it was too hot for me. I will likely return to try out other menu items.

After checking out the refrigerator area for 20 seconds max and not seeing anything I wanted; I decided to go to the cashier area to purchase some lotto tickets. Upon walking up to the counter, the older male employee stated, "why did you walk around the store and not buy anything?".... yeah, I was shocked when he said that. I said, oh I didn't see any IPA's that I wanted here. He gave me a look of suspicion as if I did something wrong. I bought my tickets and left. Now I wish I didn't get any gas and lotto here; I'd rather take my business elsewhere.

It's not often that I walk into a gas station and expect to have a very clean restroom and this by far was one of those locations that over, exceeded my expectations around cleanliness in the restroom overall But also the Store location as well. We stopped here as a unexpected quick top off of gas on our way into Reno. A little pricey on the per gallon, but again being in California that's expected as well. But I insure to make sure to let my opinion be heard on the cleanliness of the restroom.

But here I am. All of our kids had to go really bad and I was shocked when I went in there. Clean. Smelled wonderful. It felt like a spa. Even my husband, (who is phobic of public bathrooms) went in, and decided it was so nice, dropped a massive load in there (#2), and came back saying he felt like he was at the Ritz Carlton, and even said that he may now believe in God. Definitely recommend if you need to pitstop for a quick tinkle, but you risk a spiritual experience if you need to do more than that.
