God forbid if you want something to eat because you sure as hell ain't getting anything there I can't believe a truck stop would close it's restaurants at 9:30 at night on a Friday at that what a useless place

One of my Favorite Pilots in the country. Why? Friendly staff that gets stuff done, outside area clean and guys like Jeff and Dan (I think I got the names right, ) keep all the things it takes to run an efficient truck stop moving. Inside wonderful folks keeping coffee fresh, showers clean and quick at the register. Also there is a great BBQ next door Moe’s and a Waffle House and DQ across the street what more do you want on a 34. Thanks for a great stay folks! Oh and Roll Tide!
