"'Walk past the motor oil inside the Citgo gas station on SW 17th Ave (yes, really!) into this Granadan wine cellar and get yourself a seat at the bar. Order the divine bacon-wrapped stuffed dates, fluffy tortilla de patata (thick Spanish omelets) and don’t miss the sardines – cooked with a bit of salt and olive oil till they’re dizzyingly delicious.'

"Voilà une adresse bien cachée que vous ne pouvez connaître que grâce à notre guide ou si vous avez un ami à Miami qui est un habitué des lieux ! En effet, ce restaurant est caché ! Il se trouve tout au fond d'un supermarché sans intérêt, un " Food store & Deli " en bord de route... Et pourtant c'est un bijou de restaurant qu'on découvre une fois passée la porte du fond. Et les locaux adorent. On les comprend. Ici, c'est le paradis des tapas à l'espagnole et des bons produits de la péninsule ibérique : poulpe à la galicienne, chorizo, tortillas... Un régal. Sans oublier les bonnes bouteilles de vin espagnol ou d'Amérique latine. Enfin, le cadre boisé chaleureux, sans chichis, fait qu'on se sent bien tout de suite. Coup de coeur !"

"This historic family business, founded over thirty years ago, began as a liquor store run by a father and son—it's actually located inside a gas station. Now a full-service restaurant, El Carajo is home to one of the most extensive wine selections (over 2,000) in all of Florida. The menu specializes in unique Spanish tapas—bacon-wrapped chorizo-stuffed dates, a classic Spanish omelet—that are meant to be shared. The popular spot fills up fast on the weekends, so call ahead to make a reservation, or visit the El Carajo Bakery Café, which offers the same quality on the go."

"ultimate dining destination, there’s actually a long history of gas station restaurants getting real love in America—after all, KFC started inside a humble gas station, and if that isn’t a success story, we don’t know what is. Today, fill stations across the country are offering snacks so good that people are seeking them out as foodie pit stops rather than quick places to pee. So, if you don’t want to settle for a sad rotating weenie under a glass-cased heat lamp, try one of these must-stop, gas-station dining destinations, from spectacular Indian food in Philadelphia to a roadside breakfast sandwich made from a chef with a Michelin-starred background. Road trip, anyone? —Hillary Eaton If you live in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia or Pennsylvania, you have the distinct privilege of enjoying some of the best fast-food fried chicken à la gas station in the form of . This Southern gas station chain is famous for their crispy fried chicken, flaky dinner rolls and breaded potato wedges known as “western fries.” If a glance at chicken-filled buffet trays glowing golden under the heat lamp alongside lotto tickets and Lays chips puts you off, check yourself and just order it already. Locations abound, and some are even coming to New Jersey soon., Many locations in DE, VA, PA, MD Watery coffee, Slim Jims, and Twinkies aren't the only gas station food options.

What started as a simple Mediterranean grill serving dishes like babaganoush, chicken kafta, crispy falafel and (of course) kabob from a gas station in Berkeley, Michigan has now grown into four locations scattered across the state. To say this family-owned spot is something of a local Mediterranean legend is an understatement., Many locations in MI This Philadelphia Indian spot is just one example of Philly’s spectacular Indian food offerings, a few of which, like , just so happen to be inside gas stations.

Main St., Broussard, LA, 337-837-6825 One of Austin’s premiere gas-station dining experiences, may have expanded past dining with a view of the pump at their new locations, but the oldest one (opened in 1929) still holds true. Those in the know go for the classic smoky brisket that’s slathered in the house BBQ sauce, but other standouts include baby back ribs, chopped pork and the jalapeño sausage., Many locations in TX, OK, CO, NM, AZ Spanish tapas and wine inside a gas station? Yup, and some pretty damn good ones at that, especially considering its location: inside a Mobil gas station.
