This gas station was named as having the best food

Fill up the tank and the belly.

A new list has identified the top gas station food, though some notable names have not made the cut. Kwik Trip was given the honor of being named as having the best food out of all the gas stations in the U.S. - but popular WaWa and Sheetz were nowhere to be found on the list.

Gas station food can sometimes get a bad reputation when convenience is chosen over quality. But some chains go above and beyond to offer their customers a wide variety of food and beverages, some even offering fresh or made-to-order items.

Here is a look at USA TODAY’s list of the top 10 best brands for quick and delicious gas station food:

Kwik Trip

In the outlet’s 2025 round-up of the best gas stations, Kwik Trip was chosen as both the No. 1 best gas station brand overall and best gas station for food.

Kwik Trip is a family-owned company with more than 800 locations in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan, South Dakota and Illinois. The gas station serves fresh bread, muffins, cookies, bagels and doughnuts each day, and its milk is sourced from dairy farms within 100 miles of La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Kwik Trip customer Marco Curiel always stops at the popular gas station on his frequent trips from Chicago to Minnesota.

“The pizza's really good and I like the coffee they have,” he told WISN.

Curiel said he’s not shocked by Kwik Trip’s new title of best gas station brand and best gas station food.

“I'm actually from Texas, and I'm pretty biased for Buc-ee's, but you know KT is really good,” he said.

When asked if he was surprised by the love Kwik Trip has received, customer Terry Fabian said, “No. They're awesome. We need more of them.”

In a statement posted to Facebook, Kwik Trip said it was “honored and humbled” to be chosen as best gas station brand for the sixth year in a row and to take the top spot for best gas station food this year.

“None of this would be possible without our valued coworkers and loyal guests. We truly cannot thank you enough for your continued dedication and support. The best is yet to come,” Kwik Trip wrote.
