Overview

Right on the Overseas Highway, this Circle K is a dependable 24/7 pit stop for fuel, a bathroom break, and a quick bite. Pumps are easy to get in and out of, and you’ll find both gasoline and diesel plus propane. Inside, it’s the classic convenience-store spread—coffee, Froster/Sloche, roller-grill basics—and, yes, the local-favorite twist: Dion’s Quik Chik fried chicken.

What You’ll Find

  • Fuel: regular, midgrade, premium, and diesel; propane available.
  • Convenience: public restrooms, ATM, air pump, pay-at-pump, and loyalty discounts.
  • Food & drink: hot foods (including Dion’s chicken), coffee, fountain drinks, frozen beverages.
  • Extras: Amazon Pickup is supported at this location (set it up in your account before you go).

Heads-Up

Reviews are mixed: some praise friendly staff and the chicken; others report flat fountain drinks, occasional cleanliness/lighting issues, and spotty service. One traveler noted the fuel-price sign didn’t match at-the-pump pricing—always confirm on the screen before you start. After major storms, diesel availability can vary.

If you’re towing, know that while the pump area is spacious, maneuvering an RV or trailer into the islands can take a little planning.

Best Time to Visit

It’s open all day, but late mornings through mid‑afternoons on weekdays are the busiest. Early mornings before 8 am and evenings after 7 pm are generally calmer. Most people are in and out in about five minutes, so even peak times turn over quickly.

Bottom Line

Not a destination, but a practical, round-the-clock stop with diesel, propane, and better‑than‑expected hot food. If you’re craving quick fried chicken on a long Keys drive, it delivers—just keep your expectations tempered on service and fountain drinks.

Pros

  • Open 24/7 for fuel, snacks, and restrooms
  • Diesel and propane with roomy, easy-in/out pumps
  • Dion’s fried chicken and hot foods for a quick meal

Cons

  • Service and cleanliness are hit-or-miss per recent reviews
  • Fountain drinks and pump/rewards can be finicky; double-check prices at the pump

Tips

  • Use pay‑at‑pump and the loyalty program for the best pricing.
  • If diesel or Amazon Pickup is critical, call ahead to confirm availability.
  • Towing a trailer or RV? Scout your approach and exit before pulling in.
  • If the fountain drinks taste off, grab bottled or canned instead.
  • To avoid crowds, swing by before 8 am or after 7 pm.
