Today I tried something I’ve always wondered about… restaurants inside gas stations.

Have you ever been filling up your car and noticed a full restaurant attached to the station? Not the roller dogs or convenience store snacks — an actual kitchen serving real food. I decided it was finally time to find out if these gas station restaurants are hidden gems or just there for convenience.

In this vlog I visited three gas station restaurants in Colorado to see if they’re actually worth stopping for:

📍 Shahristan Kabob & Gyro – 7310 N Broadway, Denver CO 80221
📍 Garibaldi’s Mexican Bistro – 3298 S Broadway B, Englewood CO 80113
📍 Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Q – 315 S 31st St, Colorado Springs CO 80904

From shawarma and baklava, to Mexican plates with rice and beans, to Texas-style brisket and smoked BBQ, I’m putting these spots to the test to see if they deliver real restaurant quality food — even though they’re located next to gas pumps.

Some of these places completely surprised me.
