Usually, the best restaurants are those hidden from plain sight. Alabama is home to many hidden restaurants, including the one and only Blue Pacific—a popular gas station restaurant that serves delicious Thai cuisine.

Blue Pacific, located inside Hoover Food Mart, is one of Alabama’s true hidden gems. Not only is it one of the best gas station restaurants in Alabama, but it’s also one of the best in the country.
