Spent 3 nights and days here at this Flying J. Got here on a Friday and didn't leave until Monday. Our truck broke down and we were basically stuck. The staff at this location were amazing! Always friendly and courteous. Food was great and showers were always hot. They provided extra towels which is a definite plus when you're a woman with long hair. We really appreciate the excellent customer service we received while here for our extended stay! Thank you all so much ❤️

It's sad when the trucker comes to a truckstop and there's no coffee. And I stayed in the flying J for 45 minutes and still no one made any fresh coffee. No coffee and a pot sit on just a little grinder machine and I don't like that stuff. We run on a clock and we have places to be at certain times it's sad, they need to do better
