Ok, for a place connected to gas stations - heck anywhere - this is just really good food.
You walk in past the convenience store and into a long line where you pick up drinks and any cold side dished (I highly recoemmend the banana pudding).
When you go to the counter make sure to tell them it is your first time in. Trust me.
They offer the standard Texas meats and cut them to order and put them in their fanct plates and platter (wax paper and a milk crate). The juicy brisket and lean brisket are great, turkey can be dry but when it isn't it is fantastic. They also offer one of the better sausages in town (for some reason most places oversmoke their links, gross). Not a fan of the prime rib meat, skip that one. The creamed corn is so good you want to slapp your momma for what she used to serve. They'll eye you and toss 1/2 a loaf of white bread in there too(more if you ask).
You take your crate to a picnic bench where paper towels and BBQ sauce to make sanwhiches or eat how you like. The sauce is excellent. Honestly it is my favorite in Austin - now if I can only sneak some into Salt Lick...that would be perfect). Overall the meat is cooked pretty good (not the best in town but very good) but the sauce and side are solid and make for agreat meal.
Clean up after yourself and then fill the tank up.
One of my favorite places in Austin, you can't go wrong.

I completely adore this place. My husband and I drive old beater cars, and these guys have been really amazing when it comes to keeping them in running order for really reasonable prices. They never try to sell us work we don't need, and never over-charge us for the work they do.
I had my oil light come on a while back, and they discovered it was a simple short in the sensor and fixed it for $18. Seriously. I couldn't even get most garages to pop the hood for that little, let alone actually do a full inspection of the oil system AND a repair.
This garage isn't even close to my house, but it is the ONLY place in Austin that I will trust with my car. They are awesome. Plain and simple.
Pros: HONEST MECHANICS.
Cons: They're busy because they're awesome.

Look no further. Take your vehicle to these guys. And FYI: If I've learned anything, it's stay away from the big-name repair centers. They simply advertise us into thinking they are the most reliable, the most professional, the most trustworthy, and their volume buying power allows them to offer the best pricing. In a word, bullshit. Don't be duped by the chains. They can afford to take advantage of one customer after another because they can afford to advertise to bring in more people to screw; in my experience . . . and humble opinion.

Been hanging out at the saloon for almost 2 years now. Great place, bring your dogs, grab a drink. The staff is always so nice and helpful. The Andrews x 2 are super fun and keep the night interesting. Recently met Nikki and she's awesome!! If you are expecting red carpets and fancy service....just take a cab to the driskell. This is a low key fun bar filled with REAL people. The saloon never gets old!! I love this place
Pros: Great location
Cons: Hard to find a spot if busy

I love driving thru this place when I'm on the South side of town. It's such a huge convenience not to have to get out of the car and the prices are about average with other stores in the area. The cigarette prices are great and they usually run specials to attract new customers which is great if you're trying to save a few $$. The people are friendly and always ready to help.

I've been in EZ Food mart on more than one occassion and the service is always the same. The store is always tidy, the service is friendly and helpful. It's a great place to just stop and pick up a few items or just for a cold drink. The shelves are always stocked and the choices of lotto scratch off tickets is the best around.
PROS: Nice and friendly place to stop!
CONS:

Mr Broadus has had this gas station at this location for over 30 years and has provided the neighborhood with great service. Yes, I said service! They actually have a mechanic! And a full service lane for gas if you want it. And they treat little old ladies like gold. This is the kind of place you remember from the old days, well, it still exists at Broadus Gas Station. I don't live in the neighborhood anymore but I try to get by there as much as I can to get my gas and to support this truly Austin historic business. If you go by, you will then be a part of the real old Austin.
PROS: Service, Service, Service!
CONS: Not the lowest price in town

These are some excellent mechanics you would like to have work on your car. They have matched the cheapest quote I get when I call around(if they aren't the cheapest price I got), and they do an excellent job. They are straight forward, and very friendly. My neighbors recommended them to me, and they have taken their cars to them for the past 8 years, so my husband and I started taking our cars/trucks to them, and we have both been more than happy with their service and prices, and well, everything about them. I would recommend them to everyone who has a car in need of work. They have helped several of my friends, and they have all been more than happy with the service and work they received. They want you business, and your return business, so they make sure they get it with the best every time. They will make you feel like your friend/family immediately, and that is so uncommon for mechanic shops now a days. Women do not be afraid to go here! They are honest and upright people. I would recommend to anyone.
Pros: ample parking, excellent service, friendly, not over priced
Cons: none

I can't believe that I am so enamoured of a 7-11, but this one always has their coffee pots full, and a wide variety of syrups and other yummy but unhealthy things to add to your cup of joe. You can toast your bagel and get complementary cream cheese. The pastrys here are not bad for a convenience store. I have been going here for over three years, and the individuals who work there are great folks. They always say hi to you and give you the feeling that it is a neighborhood store, rather than a small piece of a giant corporation. The coffee is really excellent as well!

I've been in this store a total of 4 times and everytime it's the same. The selections of Cigarettes and prices are good but the workers (really not working...) are preoccupied with something else or someone. Just once a Hello would be nice. The gas prices are pretty competitive too so when I'm in the area I stop and ignore them, as they do me.
PROS:
CONS: Workers not too attentive.
