I believe they stopped that.

I remember when I moved to my new house, near OMP and Slaughter, they had Chester's Chicken as well, but RIGHT after I bought the place, they stopped selling it, but I was told they baked theirs and the Shell FRIED theirs and it was better and if I remember correctly I went to try it and they had stopped doing it, sometime in the last year or two.

I had a guy that worked for me swear by the chicken at the Shell station at US 31 and Alabama 20 in Decatur.
But I've been in that place and am NOT going to put that nasty stuff in my mouth.
I have yet to see a gas station in Alabama that had decent food.

Well crap, one less reason to go all the way down to Madison. Except the welding supply shop is almost across the street where I get my gas. Rats!

They're still frying chicken (Chester's Fried Chicken) there; I go there for lunch sometimes. They also have some great corndogs, potato wedges, and BBQ chicken/pork sandwiches.

I was wondering if anyone was going to mention them, I had it a long time ago, but don't recall how good it was. There is also a gas station in Hampton Cove a brand new one with quite good fried chicken. I went to KFC and got sides then went back and ate at the gas station, no place to sit, but it was Friday night and the folks working there was kind enough to let me eat on the counter.

I actually enjoyed it, but I associate it was a blown tire, I had a blow out as I pulled into the parking lot.

That is the New Orleans Lunch box.

Lastly Geezburger in Athens, its in an old gas station, but currently doesn't have pumps, so I am guessing it doesn't count.
