Look, I know. It's a gas station and convenience store. Why go to the bother of not only seeking out the ability to leave a Yelp review, but even going to the trouble of adding the business yourself so you can do it?
I did it for the BBQ, man.
We had a few hours to blow between our tour through Denali and our rafting trip. It was record-breakingly hot that day, so we stopped off here for some fountain sodas. Because you know what's better than a fountain soda, all full of ice in a plastic cup, on a really hot summer day? Nothing. Anyone that tells you differently is a dirty liar.
Back there by the soda machine, though, what do we spy? BBQ Guy. Or I guess his name is Redbeard. That's what my husband says anyway - I'm inclined to believe him because I was paying more attention to the pulled pork. We needed lunch anyway, so we decided to go nuts and get us some gas station BBQ. We both had the pulled pork sandwich combos, which came with two sides - we had the beans and the white cheddar macaroni and cheese. Add sweet pickles on the side? YES PLEASE.
Literally some of the best BBQ pulled pork ever. I've also never had gas station BBQ before, so I can easily say it's the best in that category as well. The homemade sauces were all amazing and hard to choose just one to slather my sandwich with. Redbeard was great to chat with, as with the other two employees at the store. We were even recognized when we came back later for drinks after our rafting trip and got another friendly hello.
Is it okay that I want to fly back to Alaska just for gas station BBQ? read more
