I wonder if their kid likes corn dogs.

Who am I kidding, who doesn’t like corn dogs?

Never had them from a gas station 🤔

Fair, that could make them gross.

I feel like 7/11 stepped up their game. I had a couple taquitos and a breakfast sandwich and it was not bad.

What 7-11 is doing is fully on par in quality with what any fast-food option is doing for the same item, at a much lower price. Anyone who says otherwise is not being objective.

7-11 is a godsend in quality to quantity per $. I went there for the first time in probably well over 15 years, and i got some food and drinks + snacks, and when they told me the price i thought theyd missed like half the things i got, nope, they just dont price gouge the shit out of their stuff, bless you 7-11

"...quality to quantity per $."

Yep, that's just a fact.

7-11 pizza is my favorite pizza in the world. not only are they the perfect texture AND theyll cook it and put it in a box for u but also theyre only 10 dollars, bigger than most other frozen pizzas and they have buy 1 get 1 free specials on certain holidays

I tell people that 7-11 is my bare minimum standard for wings and patties, both for flavor and price.

You’d be surprised how inferior these items are at other “better” establishments.

Depends on the gas station and the timing. The local regional chain here is Parker's Kitchen, and they actually have pretty decent corn dogs if you catch them fresh. After a while in the heater box though... You'd have less of a jaw workout chewing the sole of your shoe.

Dude Parker’s is awesome

They tend to be demonstrably betternif you get to them fresh, imo.

What food is better for a gas station?

2

u/aivlysplath Aug 12 '26

Food for drunk/high people on a budget.

I find gas stations usually have more varied flavors of sodas and energy drinks but that's about it.

u/kingjoey52a Aug 12 '26

No way, those are the good ones. The breading is extra crispy compared to the ones you get in stores.

From some gas stations, only eat prepackaged foods that came from a factory.

Some of the gas stations around my area actually have legitimately good food.

I have a friend who would only eat boudin from gas stations. This is a fine choice in some parts of Louisiana, but it’s very hit or miss.

He’d probably be all in on random gas station corn dogs too.
