Dolly’s Quick Stop

A decent breakfast that’s hot, quick and cheap. Biscuit sausage scrambled eggs and a hash brown, and the locals makin small talk. And yea they allow smoking. But I noticed most don’t. I recommend it to fill your gas tank and your trucks. No ethanol gas and diesel all available. If your the hoydy toydy type go somewhere else.

Best breakfast yet.
The biscuits are so gooooood!
Don’t know how they do it. But it’s the best breakfast in town. Better than McDonalds!!!

Potato logs, pizza sticks and smoking can all be found here. Until recently, I hadn’t been to Dolly’s in almost 20 years. I am proud to report that little, if anything has changed. Whether that’s a good thing or not will be for you to decide. First I would like to begin with a review of Dolly’s as it exists now. Then, if I haven’t lost you, I will share a story from the good olé days.
Dolly’s is a large gas station/​convenience store/​prepared food place in beautiful Kiln, MS. If you happen to be traveling down Hwy 603, this is one of the best places to stop for food, fuel and beer.
The pumps are easy to enter, fuel and exit. All grades of fuel, and diesel are available. Inside is where things get interesting. Dolly’s has a reasonably good selection of food items as well as household goods. If you are camping, or live nearby, this would be where you should stop for late night supply runs rather than driving all the way to Bay St. Louis. In addition to those items, you will find a large selection of beer, primarily domestics, but it is plentiful and perfect for the long road trip to your honeymoon (more on that later).
The prepared food items are similar to many roadside stations in this part of the country. The potato logs are basically a large baking potato quartered and «chicken» fried. Three logs for a $ 1 is one hell of a deal. Add some ketchup and you will thank me later. The pizza stick was also quite the bargain, but lest tasty. It was basically pizza rolls joined together into a stick by some sort of food voodoo magic.
The last, and possibly the most important thing about Dolly’s is that they allow smoking. That’s right, smoking inside of a gas station where food is prepared. I know what you’re thinking. It’s 2014 and smoking is known to cause cancer, burns and other various issues, but this is America. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave. Dolly’s for goes these pansy ass liberal views and lets you smoke as much as humanly possible. Hell Yeah! Merica!
OK. If I didn’t lose you I will try and tell a story from the old days.
I was about 19 and some buddies and I were headed to Dolly’s for potato logs. As we arrived we were greeted by a jovial fellow who informed us that his truck had killed a couple miles back and he asked for our help. Being the helpful group we were, we offered our assistance.
The ride back to the guy’s truck was unique. Imagine three dudes crammed in the back of a 74 Nova and me and the guy up front. He had quite the way with words when he asked me: «ever had a piece of steel in your eye?». He explained that he had and that it was no fun. Apparently he built chicken coops for a living and it was quite the occupational hazard. He told us that he always traveled with at least a six pack of beer, but this was his honeymoon weekend so he had a 12 pack back at his truck. He told us that we would each get a beer if we helped him get his truck started.
Once we arrived back at his truck we gave him a push and off he went. He did stop back at Dolly’s and give us those beers. Straight from a Natural Light 12 pack too. Apparently that’s the only way to go when you’ve just gotten married.
So what does this story have to do with Dolly’s? Not much, but it explains why I will always have a soft spot in my heart for this gas station.
The end.

One of the FEW places to get gas with NO ETHANOL! Two registers are ALWAYS open and therefore no standing in long lines. They also have a good little home-​cooked lunch menu. Free discount prescription drug cards at the counter.
