I ordered 40 pieces broasted chicken. The price was very fair and my order was ready in 15 minutes. Evidently I brought too much, but the recipients loved it so much that they froze some, then warmed it in the oven and even as a leftover they told me it was the best chicken they ever had! I will return for more...

40 minutes east of Fergus Falls on highway 210 there is an odd sight…read more You might know this place better for the quirky sculpture park (Nyberg Park) next to a gas station, but the regulars know the place for big breakfasts and broasted chicken at a reasonable price. After a night of hard living on the pontoon, there's nothing better than a big stack of cakes, hash browns, eggs, bacon, and toast for around $6.00. The building is newer, clean, and well lit, so don't take my next comment the wrong way, but when you head off to the rest room, past the fishing lures and rubber waders, you can peek into the bait tanks full of shiners and chubs. You can't do that at McDonald's, unless you're in your truck at the drive through. It's a great place to eavesdrop on the conversations of local farmers and trades people, swapping stories of hunting dogs and honey-do chores abandoned for more noble pursuits, like fishing. In the height of summer, the folks from the Cities come to air out their $400,000 cabins, and they bring down the tone of the place with their dissolute teens staring glumly at their own knuckles as the adults discuss golf and office politics. For those of you roadtrippers looking for Minnesota adventure: go. Visit the giant foot statue, or the giant cockroach on a pliers statue. Or the green alien statue. This place rivals, or maybe is the out-state Minnesota response to, Minneapolis' Walker sculpture garden. Oh, yeah, and pancakes.

In most small town gas stations, there is not much to choose from. You have a couple candy aisles…read moreand a drink section, & usually the cashier isn't the friendliest. BUT - this Tesoro gas station is completely opposite! There's candy, gum, sunglasses, medicine, coffee, cigarettes, cappuccino, ice cream treats, an auto section (perfect for unexpected break downs), a sitting area in the back, rentable movies, bread, donuts, milk/butter, and an entire wall of drinks to choose from. And that's not even the gist of it. They also have a medium sized liquor store connected to the building! The five-star review was truly earned when I was in witness to their food. Pizza, tacos, fried chicken, salads, nachos, Chinese food, different sorts of fried food, paninis, and even sub sandwiches! On weekdays, the day crew also makes cheeseburgers at times! These people have taken a gas station & they have made it into a subway, pizzahut, KFC, & a taco johns, all in one! I am awed at how the workers can do absolutely ALL OF THAT! You can order anything off their enormous menu over the phone & pick it up, or you can order it there and wait in the seating area (most items don't take the workers that long to make!) I definitely recommend the BBQ Chicken Pizza or the Seafood Sub. Overall, this place is an A+ to me. It's a clean store and the workers are happy to help you out.

Great selection of gas station goodies PLUS night crawlers, meal worms, and bait fish which is what…read moreI really came in for. And zillions of fishing lures, hooks - all that shiny stuff. The real plus is the service here, I didn't get her name, but the lady that helped us behind the counter was the true definition of excellent customer service and just a really friendly person in general. We bought a scratch off lottery ticket and needed a little help playing it (there's no gambling on our state, so we're a little inexperienced) and she helped us look over each number AND scanned our ticket just to make sure. And then showed us when to go online for a second chance at a prize. Thanks, Little Chief, for going above and beyond. Make sure to stop here if you need anything, they have it all!

I have to say that the Outpost Smokehouse located inside of Marathon is fantastic! Who would guess…read morethat (we ordered the ribs and chicken wings) would be every bit as good as smokehouses in the south. Both the ribs and wings (seasoned with dry rub) were meaty and tasty...no sauce needed but if you like, there are a number of tempting BBQ sauces you can choose from. Service was good and plenty of tables to eat in if you choose. Happy that Fergus Falls has this available. We ordered a full rack of ribs and a dozen wings enough for planned leftovers...under $50.

There were 4 of us, I bought the 4 items he had. Not sure of the problem unless the pizza was for someone but then why would you put it where the public walks in and its facing them. We will go somewhere else next time.

One time when I was ordering tires the owner shared he wanted to wait to order until the next day as a large rebate offer started then, with four tires the savings added up quick! I appreciate the friendly, excellent service I receive with each visit.
