Visit Salt Lake City: Maverik

Maverik is a chain of gas stations / convenience stores throughout 12 Western states.  We came across many of them in Utah.

They are similar to a Buc-ees, but on a much smaller scale.

They have a variety of snacks, drinks, as well as food made to go (wraps, sandwiches, pizza, salads, etc.).

The one we stopped at had a very clean restroom, and a Maverik's near SLC has actually won "America's Best Restroom!"

Visit Hilo: `Ohana Foods

I love visiting gas stations and convenience stores for fun food finds, and `Ohana Foods in Hilo is no exception.

This gas station convenience store offers plate lunches, and I was pleasantly surprised with how good the food was!

Hamburger Steak

Korean Katsu

The Korean Katsu was really tasty.  The katsu itself was good, and the Korean sauce made it even better.  I really liked the fried rice too (extra cost).

Definitely check out `Ohana Foods for some convenient, reasonably-priced plate lunches!

Visit Iowa: Casey's General Store

One of our must-stops in Iowa was Casey's General Store, a gas station convenience store chain known for their pizzas!

Bacon Breakfast Pizza

Pepperoni Pizza

Sausage Breakfast Pizza

Potato Wedges

The pizzas were good!  I had the Bacon Breakfast Pizza, and I could've eaten a slice of that pizza every day for breakfast!

We ended up making multiple stops at multiple Casey's to pick up snacks and drinks for the long drives.

Frozen Treats

Sweet & Salty Mix

If you find yourself at Casey's General Store, try the pizza!
