Update 1/26/24 - Stopped by today and had the fried fish! Perfect! Two (2) extra large lightly battered catfish that was flakey and tasty. Had a side of fried okra and greens. This is my go to place whenever I have to go to BHAM! Original review - The right words to describe this place fail me... All that I can say is AWESOMEATOR! A true gem that you would never expect to find in a gas station, and an Exon at that. Fresh, hot, tasty, Southern Cooking with a side of sass from the employees! I love it! The only down fall is that there is no dine in option and you either have to take it to go or eat in your vehicle! I had two of the best pork chops lightly battered, with no grease residue, some fresh green beans with a mysterious twang, creamed corn, and collards, a roll and drink for under 11.00? Where does this happen? NOWHERE! This place is truly awesome. Liquor store on one end, deli on the other and a convenience store in the middle. Need fire wood? No problem they sell that as well. The toilets are outside around the side of the building. Unbelievable. I was tipped off about this place by a young woman that lives in Mount Olive and works at the Off Road Connection Performance store on 31 South. Thank you! Do not miss this one.

Ordered six burgers for myself and coworkers. Everyone loved them and the potato wedges. Definitely will do business with again!
