My son and I (me = 56 y/o) stopped here for gas on a long road trip to college which crossed KY (started from Houston). It's a small generic Shell station, clean RR's, very friendly folks. But there's this little nook inside called "Crossroads Country Kitchen". I don't eat much fried food and I do NOT look for "roadhouse delights" because they're byway myths. I'd drive 10 miles out of the way to stop here and eat the fried catfish planks and the fried chicken (whole piece or strips). Even the danged CORN was great, and I don't eat corn! Locals lined up at 11:05 when they opened, and the only thing more shocking was the price! $20 bought me and my rowing athlete son more food and bev than we could finish. Praise!
I stop here from time to time when work requires some traveling. The reason I gave them 5 Stars isn't because of their food or very friendly service. Part of the rating no doubt and the predominant reason for the flaring 5 stars may seem rather silly but here you go:
This gas station/convenient store is located right off the Bluegrass Parkway. Therefore, because of that location they have customers coming into and going out of Lawrenceburg, Ky. In addition they have all the business exiting the BG and the extra traffic from people using the BG to get to Lexington for "specialist's" Dr appointments.
With the challenge of all that traffic I know atleast 80% use the bathrooms for one reason or another and yet, every time I'm part of that percentage the bathrooms are very clean.
So, hats off to you guys!
the manager lady of this gas station is disgusting. i overheard her being rude to other employees and it REAKS of cigarettes. i swear they are smoking in their back room or something. i get gas stations aren’t amazing, but this one was one of the worsts i have been in.

When we travel to Ky, we stop here and get the catfish. We get it as a fish sandwich...THE best I've ever had!
