ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!
The Border Station is a great stop on your way South. Just five minutes from the Chesapeake Expressway Toll, you can easily pull off and fill up on all the food and fuel you need for an amazing road trip. The shop offers all kinds of local specialties as well as Stucky's goodies and your typical junk food fare. I'm really digging on the Outer Banks Kettle Corn at the moment. It's addictive.
This place is so random sometimes. Last time I went in, they had a bunch of local sweet potatoes for sale at the entrance. Hey, not the best for car munching, but why not pick some of that up for your destination?
The gas prices are usually competitive and there are nice, clean bathrooms. Plenty of tacky sea shell souvenirs too. But I think the best souvenirs and gifts are the local food specialties like hot sauces, peanuts and country store items. -

Driving up the coast is an adventure in it's own right especially when you stumble upon a find such as this. Border Station is a beacon of light in a seemingly dismal part of town. Not only is it literally shinning but it's brings back memories of my drives to Vegas and waiting [impatiently] for the first glimmering lights of State Line.
Aside from the size and the lack of slot machines, Border Station offers the same amenities. A place to fill up, pee, grab a snack, and maybe find an awesome beachy souvenir to sit on your chotchkie wall back at home.
They also have a restaurant somewhere in the mess of seashells and the hodgepodge of Virginia and North Carolina emblemed paraphernalia.
If you're in the area it's definitely worth the stop to get out, stretch your legs, and chortle as you walk down the aisles. -

Nothing says country like this rest stop and I love it! Not only can you get petrol, relieve yourself, and grab a tasty beverage with your fireworks but you can also gamble! There are quarter slots where if you score, you can win more quarters! They also have tons of fishing gear and randoms that make this store rock. From a ham sandwich to fireworks, it's like a flea market but you get brand new gear.
Located at the North Carolina/Virginia border. Sonic is close by too! -
Review from Carnelia G.

Living near the border of North Carolina has its advantages: cheap cigarettes and access to cheap and illegal (in Virginia) fireworks. The Border Station celebrates these benefits and more in a unique one-stop-shop store. Half of the store is in Virginia and the other half is in North Carolina, so it's a cool landmark. With a little corner market, a Dairy Queen and Zeroes subs, it's a great place to stop on your way home from a road trip or to make your own quick road trip into the country for a few hours. You would never believe how much farmland is in Virginia Beach until you make this drive. It's a scenic route, so bring some good friends, some good music and a few bucks to get your 4th of July (or other celebration) off with a bang.
