I’ll be honest. This list was inspired by my favorite pulled pork sandwich, which comes from an amazing gas station in my hometown. Gas station food gets a bad rap, but that’s an underestimation of the fantastic food you can find there. There are plenty of delicious restaurants inside gas stations right here in the Natural State, and they shouldn’t be overlooked just because they’re so convenient and reasonably priced. Below you’ll find a list of 10 gas station restaurants you're sure to love.
