Just Round the Corner Restaurant

Great bbq, cheeseburgers, omelets.

I'm usually pretty skeptical when it comes to gas station biscuits. They can be hit or miss. Usually more miss than hit. We go fishing in Louisiana regularly. My buddy raves about the home made sausage biscuits this gas station near the boat launch serves. So I go in one morning and look around. They're out of biscuits. The nice lady at the counter asks if I want her to make me a fresh biscuit. Sure! I'm thinking she's about to whip up some cajun deliciousness. She walks around the counter, heads to the frozen food case, opens a package of frozen biscuits and sausage, pops it into the microwave, Ding! Out of the cellophane, wraps it in foil, "Here you go." I sure didnt need that rumbling around in my belly all day on the boat so I gave it to my buddy back at the truck. That's kind of what I expect.

Well, Round The Corner is the absolute opposite of that. I stopped there with another fishing buddy on our way to fish the dam. We bypassed all the fast food joints and I knew I needed something to carry me. We stopped for gas and I thought I'd grab a granola bar or maybe a juice. I see the counter and decide to give it a try. I grab a couple of tenderloin, egg, and cheese biscuits. A gentleman sitting at the counter starts talking to me about the biscuits. How the tenderloin is brought in, sliced and seasoned. How the biscuits are handmade. How his lunches and dinners are better than the sit down places in town. Not in a pushy way, but in a prideful way. Obviously the owner operator of the place. This guy is serious about his food and wants to make sure you are getting the highest quality ingredients. That's what he told me, and I believe him! So I grab a couple packs of hot sauce, which he has in a nice dispenser, loaded with other condiments, and head out to the tailgate.

Absolutely delicious! This biscuit was flaky and HUGE! The tenderloin was moist and well seasoned. There had to be two eggs in the biscuit. I actually couldn't eat both biscuits. I'm 6'1" and weigh 220lbs. If I can't eat two biscuits before going fishing all day, that says something about the size of those biscuits. I went back in to get a knife to cut the second biscuit in half for my buddy. The owner asked what I thought. I told him I would be back! Just out of curiosity, I grabbed a look at the daily specials. Philly cheese steak, ribs, yup, I'll be back!!!

As an aside.....my buddy loves the Tropicalia beer out of Athens. That beer is tough to find. A few months back he found 2 six packs of it at a package store in town. They were keeping it behind the counter. They would only sell him 2. Not 2 six packs, 2 beers!!! They had to ration it!! Well, at this gas station they had that and Dale's Pale Ale, which I like, in the beer section. Quite a store. For sure a cut above the rest. I wish it was closer to me. Well, on second thought, I probably don't need to be eating those HUMONGOUS biscuits more than just a weekend treat.

Go for yourself, I bet that owner is sitting at the counter there right now, bragging on his food!!!

Great biscuits. Lady behind the counter is funny and friendly. Recommended a grilled biscuit and it was awesome. Thanks

We came in on a Sunday, when they only have biscuit sandwiches, and Katie went to special effort for my kids. She was sweet and personable, and the food was AMAZING. The last time I had scrambled eggs that good, they came out of a cast-iron pan, and the pancake was larger than the plate and wonderfully sweet and fluffy. I may have to make a special drive up here even when not camping nearby!

Very nice people! Serve the best food at the best prices. Would definitely recommend to all my friends!
