Otter Creek Country Stores Inc

Great place - pay at the pump has always worked for me. I am there almost every day. Friendly staff. Clean clean clean. The coffee is the best I have EVER had. I drive out of my way to get coffee here. My towing company tries to buy all of our fuel here. Great locally owned company!!

Broke down on 380 in the early eve and had to be pushed into the parking lot to get it off the highway. I went in and told them it I was broke down and was parked out back and that I would be back in the next day late afternoon to get it picked up she said OK. I left her my name and # and she handed me the managers business card. I said thank you so much I'll be back the next day to get it. She was nice and polite. The next day approx 20 hours later I noticed a bright orange sticker on my drivers side window of my truck (30 min parking subject to tow at owners expense) I looked around and I did see one sign way down at the far end of the row of spaces I was parked at. But not anywhere where near where I was parked. I went in and these people inside were so rude and uncaring. They need to put a big sign for the parking rules so it can be seen as one approaches any of these parking spots. Plus the sticker is of the best quality that it wouldn't just peal off without scratching it off in one inch sections. And the glue used for sticker was not coming off very easy. I just think that the lady the night I broke down should had told me I can not park there over night. That is for 30 minute parking customers only. I was a customer that first night so they should have let me be for 24 hours at least. Two days later I get a call from the PD saying I left a bunch of trash there in the parking place when I left. Ya I did forget my empty antifreeze jug I used to put water in the radiator that first night. (Forgot it) And I gave them 2 sections of there sticker back. On the AC ducked work out back. Wow...really. ? Never come foot on there property again said the officer on the phone today. Trust me when I say....F... THAT PLACE. RUDE AND A LET DOWN. I will NEVER GO BACK THERE.

Best chicken and fish I've ever had anywhere. Freshly made...not frozen and fried. I make a trip out there from Cedar Rapids once a week to have lunch. Highly recommended!

We stopped in on our way home from Cedar Rapids. My daughter had hurt her foot earlier in the week & it was feeling pretty sore after being on her feet all day. I couldn't find an ice pack but asked the cashier if I could buy a baggie from the kitchen. She got me a baggie & I put some ice in it from the ice dispenser. She charged me for a cup of ice but I would have gladly paid more to quiet my 10-yr old for the 4 hour drive west. I have never seen cleaner restrooms in a convenient store. Everything was shiny & polished throughout the store, even the pop machine. The staff was very friendly & we will definitely stop again when we come back this way!

I liked this gas station/ convenience store. It's large, comfortable, clean, new, shiny, etc. The chicken is delicious. The service was terrific and the staff was professional. It's a pretty cool place in many respects. So why did I only give 3 stars? For hospitality. The first thing I noticed was that there seemed to be plenty of signs loudly and verbosely declaring no overnight parking is allowed and that nobody is to park for over 30 minutes. Wow... One good restroom visit, a meal, and you might be over the time limit! I found the signs bizarre and irritating! One of the reasons I stopped after work was to grab some food and to ask if I could park my van and catch a couple favorite TV shows before hitting the road. Predictably, the answer was no. More often than not, C-stores will permit me to do this and as long as I spend some money; most are quite accomodating! (Examples Kw*k Star and K*m and Go). I felt the signs were saying "Give us your money and head on down the road." Well, I'll be sure to head on down the road... but am not so certain I'll stop in very often.
